Support NeoGAF

[Yaari]

Yeah my only concern is if this will need to be a 360 disc put into the X1, or that they update the 360 version in a way that you can export the game on your 360 console.

If this is yet another 360 game that I need a 360 console for then it is only going to get more difficult.

I do think discs have identical codes though so you could probably ship a disc to the next person when you are done with it.

You shut your whore mouth

Okay, fine, I guess some people like Steve Miller.

They could technically add BC to the Rock Band Library too now since we do have a Legacy Adapter. but that wouldn't help PS4 rockers.

But either way it could be as simple as a legacy app that reads your purchase history for a digital copy of RB3, or check disc slot for a retail copy of RB3

 

[hodgy100]

Sounds to me you got a X1 and a PS4 code? I know mine was 16 digits for X1.
Have you tried redeeming them? I doubt they would just hand out random codes. One should work.

after getting off chat to amazon support again. the promotion wasn't in the UK supposedly

They did give me £20 back on my order though

EDIT: woah RB3 export EXCELLENT!

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Interesting that we're hearing RB3 news but no news on the others just yet.

 

[Shoeless]

Interesting that we're hearing RB3 news but no news on the others just yet.

Well, the others were already confirmed as coming. This just means that RB3 has now been promoted to the same "No ETA" Limbo as the other titles.

 

[hodayathink]

Interesting that we're hearing RB3 news but no news on the others just yet.

The only news here is that it's coming, not how and when and how much. In terms of what we know, it's still behind the other exports (we know how we're getting those, it's just that they haven't been uploaded/updated yet).

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Fucking hell, that was easily one of the most fun songs I've ever played.

 

[Deleted member 57681]

I guess we Europeans shouldn't expect new legacy DLC over the weekend huh?
Time to actually play the game and stop bitching about too few songs!

 

[KillerDark]

Pretty excited about the RB3 news! Hopefully exports start showing up soon (X1) . Gonna be playing here soon, ready for some fun!

 

[demosthenes]

RB3 news is awesome. I wonder how many casualties (songs that don't transfer) there will be.

 

[Cheat Code]

I'm guessing the code on the back of RB3 manual is gonna be our exporting method.

Exciting news though. Hope that means the game is doing well.

RB3 news is awesome. I wonder how many casualties (songs that don't transfer) there will be.

Looking at the setlist, there doesn't seem to be any major targets for culling. Tokio Hotel is the only one I can see not making the cut due to them not exporting from Rock Band 1.

 

[KaYotiX]

I'm hoping they show up on the store to buy individualy,a few songs on 3 I really could do without.

If not I guess I'll have to deal

I'd imagine it is much easier to negotiate selling them as a pack again (like they are on disc) than negotiating to sell each song as individual DLC.

 

[Fallout Phoenix]

Harmonix tends to have a good track record with exports so I'm optimistic we'll keep most of RB3 but it has been 5 years, the only song I imagine we lose for sure is Humanoid.

 

[von Stroheim]

Okay, fine, I guess some people like Steve Miller.

Uh, yeah!

 

[Gleethor]

Totally ok with that.

 

[Rebel Leader]

What's this about RB3 news?

 

[Lady Gaia]

I don't suppose the codes printed in RB3 manuals are console agnostic? I completely understand why DLC can't be imported across platforms, but I would hope they wouldn't lock people in when it comes to just redeeming a code that constitutes proof of purchase. I have *three* copies of Rock Band 3 for Xbox 360 (two physical, one digital) but I switched to PS4 for Rock Band 4 in order to use my e-kit. Buying DLC for a second time is irritating. Buying Rock Band 3 for the freaking fourth time would be a little much.

I guess we could arrange to trade codes if there's anyone out there in the reverse situation, but I don't know how common that's likely to be.

why does harmonix hate me

 

[Hawk269]

So with the potential of RB3 import and I never owned RB3, should I go out and buy a used copy and install it to my 360. Will this work? Or would I have to do something else. I don't care for some of the songs, but there some that are very good and would love to have.

 

[KillerDark]

Is anyone using the GH World Tour Guitar with the Legacy Adapter? I have the thing paired and I can move around the dashboard, but none of the buttons work inside the game. I can't get it to join up.

I doubt it, the code on the back is 16 characters and Xbox uses 25 characters.

Need the code on the manual. Best best would be to buy it digitally imo. Think it's $20 or $30 on 360,or wait for more details.

Looks like it's $19.99 right now on the 360 marketplace.

 

[evanmisha]

Please keep in mind it'll probably be an additional 10$ fee to export, for anyone considering the final cost

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

$20 if you want Tokio Hotel as well.

Where do I put the money

The cost of the export rose between RB1 and RB2, so I wouldn't be that surprised to see it rise again between RB2 and RB3 as well. I'm expecting $15-20, and will be pleasantly surprised if it's below that.

 

[robotrock]

Damn, I probably should have bought a new copy so I could export Rock Band 3.

Yes! OK, now Xbox IONs.

 

[Icedburden]

Havent played the same song twice yet (450 songs atm)

I have a ton of dlc. It keeps pushing the same damn songs as encores :/

Dunno, I like that every Beatles song has a unique stage. Although I would absolutely love The Beatles Rock Band 2.

 

[KaYotiX]

Sorry to hear that....

I hate playing the same songs over and over.


I wish they could make the Beatles RB backwards compatible somehow,id rebuy it if they re-released it on Xbone too.

 

[Incendiary]

Can someone explain to me how the new drum star power works? My friends and I cannot for the life of us figure it out.

same as it always has... hit green at end of drum fill

Did they say Rock Band 4 will never support the keyboard again or could it come a year or two down the line?

 

[FlashFlooder]

Right now they're saying "no". But some astute folks have noticed that the re-released RB3 Tracks are consistently significantly larger than their RB1 and RB2 counterparts. The implication being that they left the keys data in, whether intentionally or otherwise.

I decided to finally start downloading some of my DLC and of course PSN is slow as molasses right now. Such a frustrating service...

 

[bounchfx]

I would absolutely love The Beatles Rock Band 2.

oh my lord. if they did TBRB2 with the other albums that never got released, plus export functionality for the first game.. I would lose it. That'd be so dope.

 

[robotrock]

Only four songs from the Queen Pack work for me. Another One Bites the Dust, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Tie your Mother Down, and Fat Bottomed Girls(woot!)

I hope they fix this

DON'T GET ME HYPE! So many good unused songs :_: It'll probably never happen though. Still a miracle the game got released lol.

Still, RB3 export news is noooice

watchu need sfenton for? I can let him know on twitter

My rock band 4 just did an update... but I think it was just updating less talk more rokk. Xbox one version here. Any ideas?

Was it the game itself or just a DLC pack?

 

[shiftplusone]

so I went to guitar center tonight just to look and ended up buying a mic stand


Guitar + mic is way too much fun for real

part of me wants to do this, but with drums instead, but it's so hard to do if you don't know the song vocally.


also just saw it's now music mondays instead of music fridays for dlc... oh well it's not like it matters much when dlc is announced lol.


edit: and oh because I didn't say it yesterday...
Bring Me to Life - Evanescence, so much better in rock band 4 on vocals now that both parts are properly separated.

 

[plagiarize]

I think it was just the song. I was playing the game and it kicked me out to do an update. I checked the queue and just saw it say something about less talk more rokk quickly before it finished.
