Speculation and experience. I've been in cases where you have 10 weeks to build something that should take 7 weeks, and after 6 weeks you find out you've been building the wrong thing, or the right thing the wrong way. That happens... you're fucked.
Losing so much QA crew certainly didn't help either. Testers are always the first to go, when they're really one of the more valuable assets to a software company.

And sell 30,000 copies!
OK here we go, some big questions that will determine if I buy this game. I have the USA versions of rock band 1 & 2. However I live in Australia. I have a US account and have imported RB1 into RB2. I want to get the US versions of Rock Band ACDC, Lego Rock Band and maybe Green Day: Rock Band and import them into RB3.
What I would like to know is will the RB2 export include the RB1 songs in it? as I have lost my RB1 disc. also can I import ACDC, LRB and GD:RB into RB3? I will have all US versions and buy the license off the US PSN store. This will sound stupid but all my DLC carries over right?
Cheers guys.

RB1 hasn't imported *into* RB2, its *exported* to the HDD as DLC. So RB2 sees it, Lego Rock Band will see it, and RB3 will see it. You don't need to do anything.
Lego Rock Band has an export that you have to pay for (like RB1). Shouldn't have any issues with that. Same with RB2.
I think that both AC/DC live and Green Day RB have export codes that let you export the tracks for free.
Note that all of these will require the use of codes in the pack, and I think they are all one-time codes. So buy new, not used.
Once you've finished you'll just have a shitload of tracks on the HDD that will be picked up by RB3.

Looks like there's finally some progress on the 360 LRB situation:

So the Xbox version of the game can ship with extra DLC points but when it comes to the PS3 they say there are "technical limitations" to doing this? wtf.

Yeah, I went back to get some achievements because I started with pro keys right away. I was pleased with how easy and fun it was. Easy way to work on general dexterity too.Raistlin said:
Rewrite
Not as deep as he thinks
omg, there's still not enough LEGO Rock Band export codes for 360? This is ridiculous. :lol :lol
Playing keys on a plastic guitar is so fucking hard on Expert. The Green/Yellow/Orange chords kill me. Same with Green/Red/Orange. I got like 3 stars on 25 or 6 to 4 in Expert.

I have some: One of the lead developers on the team (red hair, goatee, info based on a one-time encounter) was asking for ideas for RB3 in March at PAX East.Raistlin said:
I dunno if he was serious or just playing the crowd, but:
- at the time, GD:RB was first shown there, not released yet
- he couldn't confirm vocal harmonies
- he didn't talk at all about pro mode
- he didn't talk at all about keys
- the bags they gave away are quite durable. I still use them to carry board games
- summary: he didn't say much of anything. If RB3 was seriously in development for two years, it was only with like, ten people tops for most of it's development.
During RB3's development, a good number of people were working on:
- Physical Track pack releases
- Beatles RB
- Lego RB
- RBN: it's existence and updating existing games to see it
- Weekly DLC
During the credits of RB3, I counted what, 7 developers? Sadly, I know they weren't working on RB3 the whole time because of the list above. It ... was just poorly managed.
Next week's DLC was already going to be great with the Bee Gees six-pack, but Harmonix decided to take it to a whole new level:
Bee Gees Jive Talkin
Bee Gees Night Fever
Bee Gees Stayin Alive X
Bee Gees Nights on Broadway
Bee Gees Tragedy
Bee Gees You Should Be Dancing
B.B. King The Thrill Is Gone X
Procol Harum A Whiter Shade of Pale
Those last two singles are two of the greatest songs of the 20th century.

Bee Gees would have been enough. I am not a huge fan of theirs, but it is a big enough artist to be an event. So I was waking up today to see the announcement on twitter expecting to be like "yeah, yeah, yeah. Bee Gees."Ridley327 said:
But then it also said BB King and Procol Harum. Um, yes please! HOLY SHIT YES PLEASE! BB FUCKING KING! Those last two songs are just...yeah. I feel like this is Harmonix and Viacom apologizing for the bad/could be good news yesterday about the sale. Maybe them going "if we are going down, we are going down in style!"

And that is how you do blues.
I would like to remind people of the dedicated RB DLC thread. Just, y'know, it exists and all.

I got this delivered from Amazon yesterday with keyboard, and while Im enjoying it thus far, I wish there was a bigger selection of songs that supported pro keys.

Well, it is a ton of songs on the disc that only just came out. Most of the DLC that has come out since supports it as well. I think with all the DLC since the pro keys songs is up to 90, which isnt bad for three weeks worth of stuff.TheApatheticOne said:

Screw funky, I want my You're The Inspiration. A crappy remix on Elite Beat Agents does NOT filly my need for this song.
Also, A Whiter Shade of Pale is awesome news. I have no money at the moment but I _will_ be getting that.

It shouldn't. Bee Gees should get their own thread cos they're amazing, most shit is fine in the RB3 thread.Charron said:

I yesterday unlocked being able to play normal/standard keys parts with my guitar, which is pretty sweet - I played imagine with it, as that doesn't have a guitar part in the first place. :lol I'll definitely get that MIDI adapter once it is out though.
ok, so someone mentioned something about unlinking your old account info on the RB website so you can link RB3 up. any idea how thats done?
the RB website sucks so fucking bad i may not even bother. a far cry from the bungie.net of music games i have to say.
i was never able to get my account linked for RB2 because my gamer tag switched emails, but of course the RB site thinks im somehow already linked up.
also i plugged in my new link code but never completed the processs, now the site is telling me that the code is already in use.
time to give up? such crap...
edit: dunno if i fucked this up for good now or what. i spoofed my email address using a period in between letters and it sent me off the confirmation email. it allowed me to add the RB link code when i was doing the sign up process.
i got the email and clicked the link, it said everything was good to go, but when i go to my account it says i havent linked RB3 to my profile.
probably lost in clusterfuck of a website that is rockband.com.
we'll see that happens when i fire up the game.

They have the codes!
Everything's ready to go!
Except the web developers!
After all, it's Friday!
They have lives too, you know!
So don't expect anything until Monday!
Possibly Tuesday, but definitely by Wednesday!
Not that they're making any guarantees!
You can always pop LRB back in the drive, you know. Seriously.

The "X" next to the song name signifies if it has a pro guitar chart avalible.
This week it is
Bee Gees Stayin Alive X
B.B. King The Thrill Is Gone X
HMX seem to be hovering around 2 - 3 pro charts per week.
Not counting disc songs pro guitar has got 13 more charts in DLC songs. Not bad for 3 weeks.

Takes a lot of time to copy / paste all those codes apparently. :loljgkspsx said:
Got my hands on the keyboard bundle finally. It's been a VERY long time since I downloaded all the DLC that came out one week (excluding albums) and I think I may have to do it next week. So much amazing songs. Blues + Disco + Prog. Only in Rock Band would you get this kind of diversity. God forbid the Rock Band series dies after the sale of Harmonix, at least they're going out with a huge bang considering all this DLC lined up post-RB3.

And they said they are only doing pro guitar for songs that should warrant it. Kind of iconic ones or things that would be fun to learn.DJ_Tet said:
So you damn well know they would give us pro mode BB King!

Yeah no doubt, just listening to the intro to that song and it was obvious it was made for pro guitar treatment if anything. Damn, it's going to be a long wait till March
