I'm buying GH:WT, but damn it's not nearly as visually appealing as Rock Band 1 or 2.

 

[sneaky77]

GH looks like GH shock!! lol it looks fine to me, i wonder what they will announce tomorrow at Activision's presser

How they invented full-album-DLC, the 360 and fire.

 

[storybook77]

At least the drummer animation was improved...somewhat.

Harmonix kicks their ass in presentation...it's no fucking contest. It still looks robotic as hell.

 

[Slacker]

How they invented full-album-DLC, the 360 and fire.

I hope Tony Hawk is there to do his best rockin' out statue impression again. Get Paula Abdul to do her seal clap, and the guy in the sweater vest to tell us that for the first time, we'll be able to play a game entirely on video (we're calling it a video game) and we'll be good to go.

 

[BigBlackGamer]

I really am starting to despise the GH presentation. ughhh....whatever I'll still pick it up.

You know, I love the circles for the guitar, but it just doesn't look right with the drums. I'm waiting to see the setlist to see if I still wanna get it.


Edit: WE get our Paramore BigBlack!

YES!!!! I have to say I was very excited. not to mention they still have misery buisness some were in the vault. thats potentially 3 paramore songs in RB2 if you count crushcrushcrush.

Now just give me coldplay and i'll shutup. SHIVER would be BADASS!

 

[borghe]

lol.. so putting me in the mood to listen to Master of Puppets for the first time this year and listneing to Battery... I lol'ed thinking about the phrase "building more reliable and sturdier hardware" and how they SURE AS FUCK BETTER HAVE if they expect people to play Battery on drums. I can't wait to read all the GAF stories about drummers who broke their original sets in multiple places on that song.

Edit: WE get our Paramore BigBlack!

for the record, they just played it on Radio Disney while I was driving my daughter home. I lol'ed at that also. decent song, just found it kindda funny.

 

[Struct09]

It's nice to see Jimmy Eat World in the game, and I hope it means we get some more songs from them. Bleed American, Sweetness, Just Tonight, and Pain would all be fun to play in Rock Band.

 

[AndresON777]

i have to say the setlist is quite good

yes good deal for 60 bucks. I like the look of the new GH drums but as an early RB 1 adopter I have no problem keeping my old drums, I would rather get a real drum set.

Too bad there's no tool but I still have hope.

I saw this earlier and didn't really want to say anything ... but it looks like dog vomit. Everything about it screams amateur hour. It really makes me wonder if any of these hacks have ever seen a color wheel or if maybe they got their art degrees from one of those through-the-mail "anyone can draw!" schools. It gets even better once you look past the track and see the hilarious character models and environments.

tl;dr: Do not want. Do not want, ever.

[Coop]

The interface for Guitar Hero looks so ugly compared to RB. It seems like everybody shares Starpower and multiplier. That should be fun...

 

[birdman]

I can't wait to pull out my Bob Dylan impression in Tangled Up in Blue this fall.

 

[mozfan12]

I would have loved a nothing else matters from Metallica.

Is it too much to ask for something from the Kinks, The Smiths, The Cure, Reverend Horton Heat, Chuck Berry......the list could go on forever.

 

[Affeinvasion]

IMO the music is very heavily weighted towards newer music...which is understandable from a "masters" perspective, but I'm hurting for more stuff from the 70s. At least we got some Fleetwood Mac.

 

[mozfan12]

also where the fuck is tool?

 

[Baconmonk]

also where the fuck is tool?

GH:WT from what I hear.

Also, theres the 20-odd songs as "free downloads," but I would think a bigger band like Tool would be in a paid pack, if at all on RB (I can hope though).

 

[The Innocent X]

19 out of 75 'real' songs are from the 70's or earlier. Not too bad is it?

 

[M3wThr33]

If anyone cares, I checked on the PS3 in the music store and the songs weren't up yet.

 

[TAJ]

[AMUSIX]

19 out of 75 'real' songs are from the 70's or earlier. Not too bad is it?

60's - 2 songs
70's - 16 songs
80's - 13 songs
90's - 23 songs
00's - 19 songs (28 if you count bonus tracks)

If anything, I'd say the 80's is severely under-represented here...and several of those 13 80's tracks are either from carry-overs from previous decades (Grateful Dead) or from alternative rock that was more an early-90's thing. Ratt and Bon Jovi seem to be the only 80's hair metal bands, a genre that could be filled in with the likes of Quiet Riot, Skid Row, Motley Crue, Van Halen, and Def Leppard.

I like the list, a lot, but for an on-disc list, it's got a number of glaring omissions. Rolling Stones? Queen? Kiss? Ozzy Osbourne? Any of Clapton's bands? Iron Maiden? These bands are of the size that they'd more likely appear on the disc than as future DLC. It's possible that the 20 song pack will include some of these, but I simply can't see Harmonix pushing the Rolling Stones out of bed in favor of Dinosaur Jr.

There is the possibility that they'll put some big names in the free songs so that someone who otherwise would stay away from the store would have to go and check it out to get them. It'd be a good way to introduce more people to the DLC.

Probably not though.

 

[Jirotrom]

So, correct me if I'm wrong, we will be able to some how get all of the original tracklist from RB1?

I'd have to say that the 80's missing out is mostly a good thing for me. Rock in the 80's was about as far from rock as I want to get ( obviously there are exceptions )

Exactly the same age as me, but the 80's were dark dark days for pure Rock IMO.

All we need now is a UK release date.

I got this e-mail this morning from EBGames:

In addition to the new set list, check our Rock Band 2 product pages for a video trailer, as well. Xbox 360 owners will get the first crack at Rock Band 2 when the stand-alone game releases September 14, with the Special Edition Bundle following on October 19. PS3 owners will get their chance with the game and the bundle on October 19. Wii and PS2 owners will have to wait until November 18. Pre-order online now or reserve at your local EB Games or GameStop.

Damnit, I was hoping those were just placeholder dates. It will be impossible for me to hold out a whole month for the 360 bundle

 

[borghe]

whelp, that all but seals the fate of the Wii version. Guess Wii owners STILL have no reason to look outside of the Guitar Hero franchise for that system. Way to go MTV.

 

[Memles]

If true, that's a huge mistake - beating Activision to the market matters for NEW owners, not the same people who already bought Rock Band 1. As someone who's been playing a borrowed Rock Band game all summer, and who will no longer have said game/instruments in a month's time, waiting two months is far less appealing. I'm more annoyed than really the situation may warrant, but it's still kind of bizarre.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

If Lush and "Teen Age Riot" can't convince them, nothing will.

I got this e-mail this morning from EBGames:

Wow, that's pretty surprising, if correct. Wasn't everyone expecting the opposite (bundle releasing first, then stand-alone game)? I really want the bundle, but I don't think I could possibly wait a month... who could? I guess I'll play with my old instruments for a while, then buy them separately at release? Ehh...

Yeah that's what I thought. I'm a RB1 owner, but I still wanted the bundle. :/

pretty much what I'm doing. I really have very little interest in investing in more RB hardware sight unseen, and unless the guitar offers any improvement over the current GH3 Les Pauls all I'll be looking at is replacing my currently minorly broken RB1 drum kit with an RB2 kit (and probably cymbals) and be set.

 

[Sp3eD]

I really really hope that is incorrect about the bundle. I'm selling off all my instruments to get the new better built ones thus I NEED that bundle.

 

[robochimp]

Thank god the PS3 release is not in November

 

[BigAT]

I am the only one that's real disappointed there's no Freezepop on here? They've been a staple on Harmonix games since the beginning and I've enjoyed all of their songs.
