Support NeoGAF

[Affeinvasion]

Aerosmith has been $10 for a looooooooooooooong time now.

Still not worth it. Dream Police is the only song I was interested in.

 

[Mileena]

Walk This Way and King of Rock are awesome

 

[Affeinvasion]

Go play DJ Hero

 

[birdman]

Go play DJ Hero

Why would you ever wish that on someone?

 

[Mileena]

They have awesome guitar charts. More than I can say for the garbage HMX has been spewing out lately.

 

[PedroRVD]

you went too far Affe

Happily I managed to sell this garbage some weeks ago.

 

[TAJ]

I refuse to support Natal. I'm not rewiring the entire lighting system in my house just to make some $40 gimmick toy work.

Your house is lit with infrared light bulbs?

Better believe it.

Some of the default settings are annoying, but once you change those... so awesome. /Peter

Thanks, I used your suggestion. No telling if I'll get a response, but it's worth a try.

No, my house is lit with light bulbs. However, I have never been able to get any camera based game to work. There's something about just having ceiling lights that makes this shit think I live in an undersea cavern.

- Warioware DSWare: Never been able to pass Stage 1 Round 1 in any room of my house.

- You're in the Movies: Can't get the camera to recognize a semi-full human being even with a fucking sheet as a backdrop.

- LBP: Any stupid pictures I take look like a 1989 webcam.

- Eye of Judgment: Actually got semi-functional by putting a desk lamp right by the PSEye.

I actually liked DJ Hero.

*For the two days that it held my attention.

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

Considering that GHA has been out far longer than any other game on that list, and came out before the "rhythm game crash." I say it's a good about.

 

[TAJ]

No, my house is lit with light bulbs.

For games that rely on the color camera, like Eye of Judgment, light will still be an issue. For tracking, you should only have problems if you're already having them with the Wii pointer. If anything, less light or near- complete darkness (Your TV makes complete darkness impossible.) should make the skeletal tracking work better.

 

[Terrordactyl]

I go back to dj hero periodically, not because of the gameplay though, because some of those mixes are soooo damn good.

 

[Ashour]

I was referring to new versions of Strats/Drums, but since "potential" new people can get into Rock Band 3, obviously they're going to provide instrument bundles. There's a part of me that wishes that they don't release instrument bundles to see how the software (the game only) sells and if that's good enough to make them more revenue (since new instruments = more money to make).

I've been holding off a new drum kit until I check out the RB3 one, hopefully it will have a good design and can stand some beating.

You better start saving money since new instruments are always expensive!

best drums? c / d

 

[TheGreatDave]

GH: Metallica deserves to do better than that.

“We were approached a long time ago by people who will remain anonymous. And we felt, well, that world of the gaming industry could get pretty cutthroat. We met with them. And it didn’t feel right. But I liked the idea that there were these compilations and kids could play stuff they wouldn’t normally hear. Like my kids playing “Barracuda” by Heart. They would never have heard that otherwise. But I guess it was good that we held out. Instead of getting a few songs on a compilation, we got a whole game.”

I wonder who approached them!?

Also:

“We’re not ruling out a Green Day: Rock Band II or more Green Day on Rock Band. There’s just so much in the archives to work with, including their side projects like Pinhead Gunpowder and The Frustrators.”

 

[TheGreatDave]

4chan, I guess.

 

[XShagrath]

Looks like some of the DLC this week will be the Soundgarden pack..

 

[TheGreatDave]

Looks more like Soundgarden were replaced by something else, in which case I wouldn't expect them until their exclusivity agreement with Bobby Kotick is up.

From what RockBandAide said, that link actually led to Grinder. But we did see recently a page from the MS Experts site that said that a "Soundgarden Pack" was coming soon. If it's not announced today, I'm guessing it will be by the end of the month.

 

[Archie]

Great, another week where RBN has to save the day.

 

[Archie]

Also, can you guys suggest a decent keyboard/mouse in the $30-40 range/each? I'm using some cheap walmart poop right now.

 

[NameGenerated]

Logitech MX518 is the best mouse ever.

I've used a Saitek Eclipse II for my keyboard for years and have had no problems.

 

[Ashour]

If it's priced like the RB2 set then it's fine.

 

[Archie]

That mouse looks hot. I'll grab that in the future. I can't find anyone selling that keyboard, though.

 

[NameGenerated]

And

Accept no other.
Less than 10 bucks....I might grab a new one. Unless this review is true. If so, screw Belkin.


I guess the Eclipse II is no longer in production, so I dunno. Logitech makes good shit though, maybe they have a similar mid-range keyboard.

 

[ravien56]

Great, another week where RBN has to save the day.

It never does.

 

[Archie]

It never does.

Maybe not on PS3.

 

[ravien56]

Maybe not on PS3.

Nah.

Happy Birthday Dave

 

[ahoyhoy]

Accept no substitutes

Course, I bought it when it was on sale for like $40, but damn if it isn't the best damn mouse my fingers have ever wrapped around.

 

[ravien56]

"Brian Eno" dominates "Flash Delirium."

How right you are.

 

[ChoklitReign]

Looks like some of the DLC this week will be the Soundgarden pack..

I hope it has Rusty Cage.

 

[Archie]

TF2 feels weird at 60 FPS.

Point 1: He could have at least picked a good one, like Foxboro Hot Tubs.
Point 2: Not a GDRBII, but DLC. I mean, come on!</GOB>

I hope it has Johnny Cash's Rusty Cage.

indeed.

 

[McBradders]

TF2 feels weird at 60 FPS.

Welcome to the future.

 

[Baker]

May the Disney and Opeth gods bless us with their almighty love and benevolence on this glorious day.

I'd make up my wishlist for an Opeth pack, but even though I've listened to the albums like 1000 times, I barely know any of the song titles. :lol

Bang Camaro - Blood Red Rock Preview

[XShagrath]

Hey gang,

Here's the DLC coming at you next week!

No Soundgarden this week, but the Grateful Dead stuff is always fun on guitar. Smithereens marks yet another new artist as well.

 

[McBradders]

Zzzzzz

 

[Archie]

Shit DLC. More Bang Camaro plz rbn

 

[Baker]

WTF. That shit isn't even worth the five seconds it would take to go read the list.

 

[XShagrath]

Looks like we can mark Touch of Grey off our lists now.

 

[XShagrath]

WTF. That shit isn't even worth the five seconds it would take to go read the list.

(cough) Selena Gomez (cough)

 

[LakeEarth]

MORE Grateful Dead? I'm sure fans are happy, but I think we've got enough of those.

 

[Ridley327]

I honestly would have figured that Touch of Grey was being held back for RB3, especially with its harmony potential.

That does take care of all the Grateful Dead tracks that they had originally licensed, though.

 

[Hop]

WTF people. Grateful Dead is awesome.

 

[BigBlackGamer]
