It's Oculus exclusive. PS4 won't have the power to render RB VR.

How is RB4 when using only RB1 instruments?
It's probably Amplitude or that VR music visualizer they were supposedly working on. Rock Band VR is codeveloped by Oculus, I doubt they would also develop it for PSVR.

So someone just got me this for Christmas!
And gave it to me early because apparently it requires downloads and my internets suck.
Just to be clear: Over the years of Rock Band I've likely dropped around 200 dollars on songs, I will still have access to them right?
Awesome! And what system are you on?

When will rock band 1 Export be available? It just isn't the same for entertaining.
Xbone, since all my old songs were on xbox, I had to do the xbone. Christmas is awesome, I'm finally next gen
Speaking of, I did the whole 'rebuild your library option' but it doesn't give me any indication it's downloading my songs...did I do it wrong?
If you clicked "rebuild library" with the intention of auto-downloading all of your owned songs, thats not actually what that option is for. You have to manually go into either the Xbox store or Rock Band in game store and download the stuff you own. Apparently this is a first party limitation, as HMX couldn't even get permission to have a "purchased" section in the in-game store let alone a auto-download feature.

Go to My Games and Apps, hover over Rock Band 4 and press start. A menu should pop up and then you need to go to 'Manage Game'. On the right side of your screen it should show 'Ready to Install' and that will list all of your previously purchased songs that are currently available for Rock Band 4 and can be redownloaded free of charge. You can redownload them all by simply pressing 'Install All'.
EDIT: So this
is not necessary anymore.
ah, nice. Wish that this had been an option on PS4

Did you buy packs? The 60 things may include packs of multiple songs.

Thanks, that's a bummer. Would be nice for the times you play RB by yourself and RB4 needs some features anyway.
Oh well Amplitude or a music visualizer in VR could be interesting as well.

I hope Rock Band VR is also a normal version of the game on PC so I can play on my monitor which has 1ms of imput lag 
Interested to try the vr component either way.
Interested to try the vr component either way.Eurgh same. I'm still finding the occasional song which I haven't downloaded and the in-game store doesn't work half the time (PS4 EU)
This worked for around half of my tracks, the rest didn't show and I had to manually search for the songs and download them.

Added you.
I finally got to play Rock Band 4 for the first time last night. I pre-ordered the digital Xbox version for the extra songs in early October, but I didn't own the console yet. I purchased the wireless adapter and didn't receive it until November. Then I bought an Xbox One during the Black Friday weekend and spent last week downloading patches and DLC. But i waited until the Dec 8 patch came out since I would have to recalibrate anyways.
So after all that, I played about 25 minutes with. My expectations have been tempered about the lack of options and exports already. My biggest impression so far is improvised guitar solos are amazing. Found the Endless Solo mode and selected Texas Flood. I haven't smiled that big since I first experienced RB in a full band setting.
My Xbox Live tag is Komakaze. I will add folks from here soon.

Is Free Bird available yet? I think imma get this finally for the holidays
Once the Rock Band 3 export hits today or tomorrow, it will be!
It might even be at some point today. Harmonix just added this page to their site detailing the export process:

Well by that wording I'm assuming anyone who has played RB3 on the same profile in the same console family should be eligible to buy the export.

The part that says exactly that also leads me to believe that.
Haha. I somehow how read that part and it didn't register with me for some reason. Reading is hard lol.
So, that blind sea-otter in Vancouver aquarium died.
Time to temporarily give my band members that Vancouver Aquarium shirt that they added in the patch.
EDIT "Cipher Peon has beaten your score on Still Into You"
Huh, since when do I have you on Xbox Live, Cipher?

It had a good run. Two years being taken care of by compassionate Aquarium staff, only to die quietly in its sleep is not a bad way to go. It's horrible that someone shot it, but at least it didn't die suffering on that beach and had people that cared about it.

I asked on Twitter and Harmonix says that if you want original recordings of some of those old covers to just request it.
Sure would be nice to get War Pigs...

I'd rather get some of the songs in the game with actual versions instead of some of their horrid live versions.
*looks at ac/dc rock band* if only
If anyone on Xbox One wants someone with a bunch of middling scores on Expert guitar, you can add me: Breaky Boy
I have about a thousand songs pre-exports and I've posted a score on about half of them, so chances are decent there will be a score up. I normally play drums, but I can't in this apartment, and I'm not sure I want to without e-kit/Ion support.
Dear Harmonix/Mad Catz: I will pay a pretty steep premium for an XB1-compatible MIDI adapter. Please don't make me and the rest of community jank one up in a garage. Plskthx
Green Day is actually the only export that has worked for me. Oh and Blitz. Either way, if you're on Xbox One, you should be able to download your Green Day export by now.

Well, GH: Warriors Of Rock got the studio version of "Children of the Grave" so now would be a perfect time to request some Sabbath.
GDRB export is only enabled on xbox.
Ah! That explains things. Thank you!
I want more Nightwish and Sonata Arctica songs, sadly I don't think it'll ever happen
Such a shame, I'd pay big bucks for this, or this, or this!
Ah yes, I have a problem with that too, I did in RB3 as well, but far less than now. The game is sorely lacking some accessibility options
Man, the fact that you have to download every song individually on PS4 sucks D:
This is awesome though:

Seriously ACDC is the only thing I regret buying. It's so bad and even Let There be Rock is ruined by the repetition.I'd rather get some of the songs in the game with actual versions instead of some of their horrid live versions.
*looks at ac/dc rock band* if only
They also got the Sweet Leaf master. War Pigs and Iron Man are definitely in my most wanted list.

Two questions:
1. Has anyone been able to get their previous exports of track packs such as "Country Track Pack" to work in Rock Band 4 on Xbox?
2. In career mode, is there ever a show or tour that allows you to choose a setlist with whatever songs you want from your entire library (i.e., not limited to certain tiers of difficulty)?

thunderstuck is supposed to start with awesome guitar... not taps on a drum forever

I've always been in the minority as far as the ACDC track pack goes. I enjoy playing the majority of the songs and I think the live versions sound good.
The Green Day game is my ACDC. I don't particularly care for the music and most of the songs aren't the type that I like to play on guitar. I only bought it after they stopped releasing DLC and I wanted a new injection of songs to play, otherwise I would have skipped it entirely.
i love both bands, and while the ac/dc versions don't sound horrible, they are inferior to the album versions by quite a bit :/

So the RB3 songs are being added to the Xbox marketplace, hopefully it'll be available tomorrow morning.
I don't know if it became Easier but IMO the singing in RB4 is a lot better thanks to the harmonies in old songs.

Harmonies in "Roll With the Changes" was one of my most wanted things in the game. They have delivered that now.
Bring Me to Life was always my "why the hell do I even have this"-song, but now with harmonies it's crazy awesome.

Why do you want to do that?

To get the export license.
Would love to add more RBgaffers, but unfortunately I am on PS4. If anyone want's to add me then my PS name is the same as my GAF name.
Will it work after I use the export on myself?
