Holy shit @ Visions. I'm probably in the minority of "somehow" "liking" the song, mostly because it will be mad fun to sing it or/and play guitar

Each challenge shows the details, number of participants, date and score of when you best completed it.

One of the first challenges you unlock is the full setlist. So you can get that and go straight through.

I'm confused. What do you mean by challenges? Like setlists in RB1 World Tour? And why would they need to show number of participants, if its a single player World Tour. Wouldn't you only need 1?

 

[Hop]

If they just end up re-confirming that list of 20, I'm going to lose faith in Sean.

I'm pretty sure neither list of 20 was ever confirmed.

#1367, but yes, vision is going to be awesome .

 

[Sp3eD]

It's scary after seeing that visions chart that Painkiller is tiered higher. The charted solo in Painkiller must be a monster.

 

[XShagrath]

Also scary is that Visions is one of the hardest songs in the game, and vocals are tiered 1!

That's only because of broken "talkie" sections.

There's two main 'song-unlocking' modes now.

Band World Tour, which is online, switchable instruments, no lead, all that jazz.
Challenge Mode, which replaces Solo Gig with a variety of challenges that unlock as you beat each one. Some of the first are just straight play throughs.

There was a blog on the RB blog detailing it.

 

[XShagrath]

That's only because of broken "talkie" sections.

What I meant was that most of the other higher-tiered band songs don't have Tier 1 difficulties in them. Most of them are hard on every instrument. That means that Visions' guitar/drums/bass are going to have to be pure insanity!

Ohhhh shit Visions sounds great. Kinda makes me less sad that Megasus isn't coming back. Sounds great!

RB2 intro in a bit higher quality.

Oh...my...God...

 

[Tiduz]

Oh...my...God...

in a good way or a bad way?

i loved it :lol

 

[Magik]

Visions look scary... especially considering that segment we saw in the video isn't the solo sections... :\

 

[I AM JOHN!]

in a good way or a bad way?

i loved it :lol

In a "same reaction I had when I saw Rock Band's opening cinematic which I love so much" way.

 

[GoutPatrol]

Oh...my...God...

There aren't enough Whatdog.gifs in the world.

 

[jamesinclair]

Hey guys, I was gone for a month. Any updates on the PS2 version? Namely which features will make it, and if guitar hero instrument computability has been confirmed.

 

[Des0lar]

There's no solo.

@ visions song
God I love youtube comments sometimes:

you can hear the rockband drums breaking in the background

 

[Magik]

There's no solo.

@ visions song
God I love youtube comments sometimes:

Really? I heard there's a small section in the song that is wild.

 

[XShagrath]

From Scorehero (from someone at PAX):

Bladder of Steel Achievement - Endless Setlist No Pausing/Failing

 

[DuckRacer]

And from kizke @ SA:

Announcements from the HMX panel!

New rb2 feature endless setlist bladder of steel achievement do endless set without pausing or failing :I

Dlc Pax pack on tues: this already leaked...

Bonus trivia: NIN was the first band to ask hmx to put a song in a game. Yay NIN!

Phase is still awesome. So is FreQuency.

Now we know why NiN is in the game so much.

 

[I AM JOHN!]

There aren't enough Whatdog.gifs in the world.

Also, Harmonix, if you're out there:

I want the rest of this plz.

 

[McBradders]

And from kizke @ SA:

That's... it?

 

[Kafel]

Dlc Pax pack on tues: this already leaked...

What ?

Can someone link me to the content announced please ?

edit : found it. Meh.

 

[DuckRacer]

And it seems like the PAX pack was the big announcement. lol

 

[Grecco]

Lol Why deny the announcement only to confirm it the next day? Bizarre.

 

[JonathanEx]

I'm more interested in the panel itself, the company and all that rather than just announcements.

 

[Tiduz]

From Scorehero (from someone at PAX):

Bladder of Steel Achievement - Endless Setlist No Pausing/Failing

wat

 

[TheGreatDave]

Blah.

 

[TaKeRx]

very disappointing....

 

[DrEvil]

This is like Nintendo telling us to expect big announcements for the core gamer at this year's E3 months before the show, only to say "What, Animal Crossing isn't core enough for you?"

Goddamnit HMX.

 

[JonathanEx]

At least they started damage control beforehand.

 

[birdman]

Rock Band forums meltdown commencing.

 

[Kafel]

This isn't a "big" announcement HMX. That's actually pretty shitty compared to the other weeks' DLC.


Good for the charity though.

 

[overthehill99]

Seriously guys what did you expect? A fucking Beatles collection with all their CD's in it? Calm down, it not that big of a deal.....

 

[DuckRacer]

Way to exaggerate.

Telling us what the 20 free songs are would be nice.

 

[TaKeRx]

Exactly. That's what I sincerely thought they were going to announce.

 

[Ridley327]

Apparently, they also reiterated that while the RB1 transfer is a lump download, you can actually go ahead and delete the songs you do not want after the transfer is done. Not particularly earth-shattering news, but I'm sure that will make some people happy

except for ps3 owners, because when i dlc it just adds to gamedata.

YES!

I'm happy now. That's a big announcement.

 

[JonathanEx]

YES!

I'm happy now. That's a big announcement.

BYE BYE GREEN GRASS

 

[TaKeRx]

BYE BYE GREEN GRASS

WAT

 

[Sp3eD]

Wow what a letdown.

They already officially announced the PAX pack yesterday

http://www.rockband.com/news/pr/416447

and being that we already knew that the game had an endless setlist along with a bladder on an achievment this didn't announce anything at all.

Seriously HMX, what's going on with you guys lately? You are letting everybody leak everything for you.

Moving pictures on VH1, The entire RB2 setlist, PAX pack.

 

[Oreoleo]

BYE BYE RTTH

motherfucking fixed.

 

[JonathanEx]

WAT

THAT ONE SONG

IS BETWEEN ME

AND ALL THE GUITAR TOUR ACHIEVEMENTS


because i've got to the end of expert except that, no way i can be arsed to go through hard.


And yes, bye bye RTTH too.

 

[Sp3eD]

Why are you guys wanting to delete songs?

The more songs the better.

You will be ruining the Rock Band 1 experiance for me when I play online in RB2. Have any of you thought about that?

 

[Eric Hall]

YES!!

Goodbye Electric Version, Celebrity Skin, Blitzkrieg Bop, Orange Crush, and Paranoid! and Seven as well!

I wish the "big announcement" was you know, an actual BIG announcement

 

[JonathanEx]

It's not so much I want to delete songs I'm not a fan of, that'd be silly, as you say, more songs the better.

But songs that piss me off due to difficulty? I never want to play RTTH on drums ever ever again

This I can agree with you.

 

[DuckRacer]

Well, the Rock Band forums are melting down. Some are saying they're buying GHWT instead of RB2, and others saying HMXVeng should be fired because he said "fuck you" to people who were disappointed. (He didn't.) What a mess.

I mean, I am disappointed we're likely only getting the PAX pack next week, but hey maybe a Bon Jovi pack will come the week after!

 

[vatstep]

I would only delete any of the covers that don't get replaced with masters. There are plenty of songs that, while I might never want to play again, guests seem to enjoy.
