Support NeoGAF

[Space Cadet]

Or the Judy Nails Tits version?

Only if they are modeled after Hayley's.

 

[XShagrath]

That's not very rock and roll man. You'll look like you're playing with a broom stick. You sure you wouldn't rather play with the inevitable Pig Lars' Head shaped body? Or the Judy Nails Tits version?

Maybe I could get my wife to rig me up a cool body. She made some pretty awesome custom faceplates for the Les Paul that we gave away at a cancer benefit a couple years back.

Also, with no body, there'd be less volume and I could maybe do cooler guitar moves!

 

[TheGreatDave]

Only if they are modeled after Hayley's.

Guitar would feel too light, it'll be like the X-Plorer

That's my concern with both those designs actually, given the holes in the design. Hopefully they have 8 shells, one for each character ^_^

Since we'll be getting RB3 info sometime within the next week and Thursday's/Friday's newsletter should actually be decent, let's make a bunch of RB-related E3 predictions so we can laugh at them in two weeks.

Rock Band 3:
– 20 tracks revealed at E3, 92 tracks total, all with keytar support
– Keytar has five white keys, three black keys
– Realtar is RB3's surprise attraction, slightly revitalizes gaming industry's and consumers' apathetic stance towards music games,

Spoiler

has Smoke on the Water as the demo song for better or worse.

– New Feature: Drums get actual cymbal, double bass support. No hi-hat pedal since Harmonix hates purple bars.
– RB3 retains GD:RB's shrunken and less vertically angled highway, leading Dave to endlessly whine about RB3 for the next year a la the lack of star tracking in RB2.

E3 Megapack/(Album?):
– 12-pack, features Guns N' Roses. Original Rock Band concept video becomes reality. November Rain saved for RB3

The Beatles: Rock Band:
– Final "encore" DLC six-pack is announced.
–

Spoiler

TB:RB exporting to RB3 is announced. Currently available and future DLC works with RB3 as well.

Pearl Jam Live: Rock Band
– Is MIA, no one cares

 

[TheGreatDave]

Wait, what's that about highways? I didn't play much of GD, it has a weird viewing angle?

 

[Ridley327]

So, you can break the GH6 guitar down to look like a Chapman stick?

 

[Scythesurge]

Those warriors of rock guitars are dead to me without any decals of Pig Lars.

 

[XShagrath]

I know a few of us are getting GD:RB tomorrow and we were going to schedule out when we could do a full story-mode runthrough for the achievement. I'm willing to coordinate this, so PM me what days/times you're available for the next week or so and we'll try to get a group or two going.

 

[PedroRVD]

It seems Im getting my GD:RB on 18 or 19...a lot of friends are very excited for this =/

 

[XShagrath]

Coming on June 15th, an Ozzy Osbourne six pack of DLC. Featuring three tracks from his latest album Scream one week before the disc’s June 22nd release, as well as three older songs including a personal favorite of many “No More Tears.” Full list directly below.

Guess Ozzy's GH exclusivity is up. Bring on the Sabbath!

 

[Ridley327]

Man, No More Tears better have keyboard support in RB3.

I Don't Wanna Stop's solo is completely ridiculous.

 

[Sp3eD]

I have Tuesday and Wed off so I would be up for it. I just have to wait for UPS to bring it to me on tuesday.


Ahhh shit no Bark at the Moon

 

[DuckRacer]

An Ozzy six-pack and no Crazy Train? Come on.

Glad he's coming to RB though.

 

[Space Cadet]

Ozzy DLC

Fuck. Off. Seriously.




Duck: I hope those Beatles and GnR predictions come true.

Also, you can put my prediction for on-discs songs at around 105 or 110.

 

[Sp3eD]

An Ozzy six-pack and no Crazy Train? Come on.

RB3 confirmed?

 

[Ridley327]

You know, I could be mistaken, but I think all of these songs have Zakk Wylde on guitar. I wonder if they wanted to focus on more recent Ozzy stuff first before heading into the classic era.

 

[DuckRacer]

RB3 confirmed?

Pretty sure Crazy Train doesn't have any keyboard, plus it was in GHWT.

 

[overthehill99]

Wait, what's that about highways? I didn't play much of GD, it has a weird viewing angle?

Same "angle" as TB:RB. It's different from RB2.

 

[McBradders]

Perry Mason or GTFO

 

[XShagrath]

I have Tuesday and Wed off so I would be up for it. I just have to wait for UPS to bring it to me on tuesday.

I have to work on Tuesday, and I'm going to the MuteMath show Wednesday night. If people can PM me their availabliltiy, I'll put together an Excel spreadsheet (YES!!!) and see if I can match up some groups of four. If I can't make it in, I'll figure out another way to get the achievement or get in on another group later.

 

[XShagrath]

Just looked it up, and you are correct.

 

[PedroRVD]

hey shaggy I hope you cant form your group until 19th :lol

 

[ChoklitReign]

Ozzy DLC

nothing from the 80s

Spoiler

I'll buy No More Tears and I Don't Wanna Stop

 

[XShagrath]

hey shaggy I hope you cant form your group until 19th :lol

I'd go through twice if you needed a group around then. It doesn't matter to me.

 

[Ridley327]

Spoiler

I'll buy No More Tears and I Don't Wanna Stop

To be fair, Crazy Babies is from 1988.

 

[XShagrath]

In all honesty, this is how adverDLC should be done for the most part. A couple new tracks and a couple "classics".

 

[Cahill]

Pretty sure the new CD doesn't have Zakk on guitar It's a dude named Gus G.

*runs to Google*

 

[Ridley327]

Oh, Ozzy did get a new guitarist after all. I guess Wylde's reign of pinch harmonics-based terror has finally come to an end!

 

[TheGreatDave]

Shitty Ozzy selection is shitty. Give me the songs from WT and Bark and the Moon, morans.

 

[Cahill]

Looked it up... Gus G.

Also, the lack of Rhodes or Lee in this DLC is pretty shitty.

 

[Bauer91]

Bark and the Moon

You're obviously not just saying that because it was in GH, but because you're a true Ozzy fan.

 

[vg260]

Shitty Ozzy selection is shitty. Give me the songs from WT and Bark and the Moon, morans.

Yeah, not the choice stuff, but kinda like the GnR DLC, it probably makes more sense to put the newer stuff out first and save the most-wanted stuff for later. Otherwise, no one would touch the newer stuff.

Guess Ozzy's GH exclusivity is up. Bring on the Sabbath!

I guess HMX is trying hard to get shit we don't want from artists we want. They're doing a great job too.

 

[Ridley327]

This might be the first place I've been to where people aren't jumping for joy that No More Tears is coming to a game. God, you guys are babies.

 

[TheGreatDave]

You're obviously not just saying that because it was in GH, but because you're a true Ozzy fan.

:lol "Bark and the Moon" is a typo. There's no way I could think the title was actually something so senseless.

I'm not an Ozzy fan though, and I don't pretend to be. Satanism

 

[Natakuu]

Hmm, gonna have to give those newer Ozzy songs a listen before buying.

 

[birdman]

.

I sorta still stand by that. I was filled with intense child-like joy.

Oh yeah, the WoR guitar looks as ugly as sin.

 

[Bauer91]

:lol "Bark and the Moon" is a typo. There's no way I could think the title was actually something so senseless.

I'm not an Ozzy fan though, and I don't pretend to be. Satanism

I know man, I was just kidding. I haven't listened to much Ozzy outside of the GH songs, but I spotted the typo right away.

 

[Cahill]

This might be the first place I've been to where people aren't jumping for joy that No More Tears is coming to a game. God, you guys are babies.

We have higher standards...

Spoiler

Kidding of course

The songs are good, there are just better one's is all. Guess there's always hope for Ozzman pack 2. You know, like that Metallica pack we're gett...

 

[Ashour]

Yeah, not the choice stuff, but kinda like the GnR DLC, it probably makes more sense to put the newer stuff out first and save the most-wanted stuff for later. Otherwise, no one would touch the newer stuff.

Problem is we're still waiting for the old GnR stuff :/

 

[Ridley327]

We haven't had any inclination that they'd be releasing classic GnR stuff until the E3 performance was announced, so that's hardly a fair comparison.

 

[Terrordactyl]

Will buy older Ozzy songs, new ones..meh.

I love how NS innovative touch strip is gone, those guitars are awful. Shag how are you going to play without a body, need the strum bar don't you?

In other news IGN is fucking retarded, they have a "news" article up saying their sources claim that the 3DS has graphical capabilities close to the 360 and PS3. "it has processing capabilities that far exceed the Nintendo Wii and bring the device with abilities that are close to HD consoles such as PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360." :lol

 

[DuckRacer]

*checks Chinese Democracy sales*

No one touched the newer stuff to begin with

Btw, assuming there's no embargo it looks like we're getting RB3 impressions tomorrow

 

[Ashour]

Oh yeah, the new GH guitars are meh.

 

[Cahill]

We haven't had any inclination that they'd be releasing classic GnR stuff until the E3 performance was announced, so that's hardly a fair comparison.

Didn't they play 'Welcome to the Jungle' in the promo vids before RB2 even came out? Unless that's the E3 perf you're talking about, in which case... nevermind.

That's hardly news.

 

[Space Cadet]

Same "angle" as TB:RB. It's different from RB2.

I never noticed that in TBRB, maybe that's why I need a few songs to get used to the timing window when I switch back and forth. I noticed it immediately on GDRB, though. Thanks for the info.

In all honesty, this is how adverDLC should be done for the most part. A couple new tracks and a couple "classics".

Agreed. Unless they do albums.

I guess HMX is trying hard to get shit we don't want from artists we want. They're doing a great job too.

:lol Never change, man.

This might be the first place I've been to where people aren't jumping for joy that No More Tears is coming to a game. God, you guys are babies.

"No More Tears" might be the only song I pick up from that pack. MIGHT.

Shag how are you going to play without a body, need the strum bar don't you?

Watch the video. The body breaks away.



Oh: :lol :lol at Dave writing that Ozzy is satanic.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Problem is we're still waiting for the old GnR stuff :/

8 days isn't that long man.

 

[Ridley327]

Didn't they play 'Welcome to the Jungle' in the promo vids before RB2 even came out? Unless that's the E3 perf you're talking about, in which case... nevermind.

That was a cover version they had used for test purposes. Didn't Activision wrap up some timed exclusivity for that song for GH3, too? I mean, they didn't tell Axl about it...

 

[Ashour]

That was RB1 promo.
