I didn't know that. How is it? I know the Wii version had, apparently, shitty controls.

It's an exact port of Pop'n for PSP. It seems impossible to play on 9 button unless you're some kind of Japanese robot, luckily it has 5 and 7 button options. I haven't played DJ Max in a while but I don't remember it being anywhere near as difficult. It also has You wa Shock which is reason enough to own it.

The DS also had a Pop'n Music spin off out this year called Utacchi, which is OK but not a patch on Ouendan/EBA.
 
I love Rock Band and would have bought Rock Band 3 at midnight anyway like I did with RB1 and RB2... now though... I'm REALLY going to buy it at midnight.

holy shit balls. I can't believe this is really happening. The always-talked-about but never-dreamed-possible keyboard/piano peripheral for Rock Band...

this has made my day, week, month, year.

I can't wait to show off my 13 years of piano mastery. SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SICK AMAZING INCREDIBLE I LOVE HARMONIX!!!!!

I accept your challenge!

lessons? how many years? classical or rock/pop/jazz? DO TELL!

I've been playing plastic guitar for a few years now, and in that time I feel I've acquired all the skills necessary to play the piano.
 
I don't mean to derail the fan-gasm, but I just saw MacGruber and it was the worst pile of shit I've seen in a long time...and I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to movies. I will admit I laughed pretty hard a couple of times, but it was just not a good film. Also it's bomba. My wife and I were the only ones in the theater. We should of just had theater sex and gotten our money's worth.

This post was just made on the RB forums... (something, something... keytar.gif)
Damn... Exactly how closely have we examined the data in tracks to date? Surely something as recent as say, Lego Rock Band, would have taken this into account?
Even if nothing currently supports this, it will greatly increase the shelf-life of tracks from here on out. Having to learn another plastic instrument is nothing but a good thing, too. Also, lol at the bitter tears over no more keyboard solos on guitar.
AMUSIX said:
Hmmm, after looking very briefly into it, I have decided that Vinnie Paul is to blame...

fuck you, Vinnie Paul!
What I want to know is how the Rock Revolution and GH tracks got approved. You need permission from the songwriters even for covers if said covers are going to be used in a video game.

The worst thing about the album is that HMX will likely never release a Pantera greatest hits 6/10/12-pack now. :/ Floods should be awesome and the first good non-RBN DLC in months but still. Hopefully we get Guns 'N Roses at E3.
Judging by recent choices, it will be The Spaghetti Incident? full-album DLC.

It's definitely not for everyone.

I quit playing Welcome To Paradise on bass because the game was telling me I missed notes when I didn't. What a shitty video game Rock Band is.
Les Paul, lol.

From Billy Joel, I'd want the following before Piano Man...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed_-brFWYdQ (would be fun on just about everything...especially drums)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppFu62lbI2g (just tell me that 2:00 wouldn't be fucking awesome for a band to play)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChG-zoaCqvY (another banjo-tune, with an incredible piano solo...drums might suck, depending on how you feel about shuffle beats)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIUeyDLV6LQ (the one to use if you're going to show off the piano...sax and clarinet parts might have to get charted to the guitar, though)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqnpeG--bkU (not much in the way of piano here, but a great bass line, and some good drum hits)


Fuck it...Harmonix, since I know you're reading this and hanging on my every word, just give us Piano Man and The Stranger as full album downloads and put The Entertainer on the disk.

I agree and I'm a huge Billy Joel fan. I just seriously love Piano Man so much.

Yet when people said this about Guitar Hero 5 it was our own fault for not knowing how to calibrate:lol I'm not saying the calibration in GD:RB isn't off(haven't played it yet), but at least attempt to be consistent with what you bitch about.

I didn't think there was such a thing as a huge Billy Joel fan. I always thought he was more along the lines of "who sings that song again, I really like it. Oh, Billy Joel? He's pretty good."
 
Hey! What's going on here? I finally saw Lost finale so it's safe to come back to the internet.

BTW Dave thanks for spoiling one thing for me with your
After life talk
.

So keytar is coming to RB huh. It's time for some Savatage HMX and more Dream Theater.
 
TheGreatDave said:
A properly calibrated GH5 is heaven though. *swoon*

what the fuck.

I don't get it.

GH5 was like $13 shipped on Amazon a few weeks ago and I posted asking if it was worth it to get it and everyone said they wouldn't play it if it was shipped to them for free.

I guess everyone has their own opinion... it's still confusing though.

It's Dave.

It's hard to say...I could see them doing both. The problem with a keytar style is that it only uses one hand while the other hand wouldn't be doing anything (since that hand messes with the synth settings normally). But the flat layout might not be very space friendly.

there are so many songs I'd love to play with a Keyboard..or piano like song.

I was able to calibrate my copy of RB1 so very easily when I got it. Then again, it could be that I was just playing Medium at the time
I was joking.

It was in relation to not needing to calibrate anything on PS3 and no calibration working properly on my 360. I was whiffing easy FCs on 360 RB2 and let's not get into GH5.

Oh, I know you were making a slight against the 360. But I don't care. >=P
