Maybe Rock Band 3 will add Band Vs. Band, assuming Harmonix doesn't think it's too shitty to allow people to do it.
I expect it to support some sort of user generated content. Based on what Harmonix have said I wouldn't be surprised if their way of doing it is something a little more complicated but more authentic, like a PC application you can put your own real music in and then mix to create RB suitable tracks.

Infinite Replay Value!

Ah, therein lay the issues stripped bare, ugly, and naked for the whole world to see and laugh at how pathetically small they are and how quickly they likely... erm, this is getting a bit too far now.
Anyhow, my girlfriend doesn't like competitive games so we never play Face-Off. We also don't play any multiplayer games where we compete which works out well because I can't think of any that I own that would interest her for any reason anyhow. It's probably for the best as, well, she just can't compete. I'm much, much better than her and I play far, far more often.
While it sucks that bass has never had a solo career (until now!) I still spent a solid amount of time playing bass in practice mode on full speed for the full song. I never really cared that I didn't get stars or a score and I never did badly enough to have to worry about failing out so it was all pretty moot that I couldn't. It was an annoying kludge, but it worked.
BotB relies heavily on having a dedicated group of people on your friend's list to compare scores to and the desire to be very competitive on your score. Something that doesn't apply much to me. I care much more about playing perfectly and having fun than I do tweaking my score out.
Online BWT requires friends who would play with me. It also was something that was supposed to be in RB1 so I don't entirely count it. You don't get a reward for saying you'll do something, not doing it, and then eventually getting around to it. I know, I've tried this with my girlfriend and it doesn't work. You just get hit quite a lot. In the bollocks usually.

Again, fuck you all and your "everyone plays on 360" bullshittery. I mean this in the kindest of ways, mind you, but still, cram it awkwardly into your rectum in such a way that it becomes infected and swollen with a great sac of blood-streaked pus the size of a softball.
TheGreatDave said:
This is exactly what I expect. But will they release only a PC application? I'm starting to doubt that despite the times I've forwarded the idea in the past. There might be a rudimentary in-game composer at least or perhaps they'll just expect you to be happy playing what other people are creating acknowledging that only a small group will be interested in using it effectively.

I used to play bass songs in practice mode too. It pissed me off to still have to do it in GH3.
I'm shit at most games, so maybe that's why BotB appeals to me. Apart from two or three bastards on my friends list I think I have the Mad Skill to do well and feel like an awesome Quake player, just for once.

Im only showing you the Press Release for next year. The only thing I missed was the "Coming Later for PS3, Wii & PS2"
sorry. :|

Fixed like a dog. And true, no offense intended to you, but I don't think they'll do something that linked to a proprietary online service for one console only.
Actually, I still don't understand why we don't have cross-platform leaderboards. I can sort of understand playing together (though it pains me), but I'm pretty sure that text is compatible.
I'm only getting at most 3 songs from that RHCP album. I gave them all a fair listen, but the only ones that I thought were good were Breaking the Girl, Under the Bridge, and Suck My Kiss. There was like 2 others that were almost good, and the rest were pretty forgettable.
Maybe I'll pick up YYZ to make up for the lack of awesome songs.

There's also the liking sales thing.
I have had absolutely no issues (aside from, well, PS3 updating on Thurs.) ignoring the RHCP album today on account of not caring for it. It was actually worked surprisingly well though, in all fairness, I did stall out for a period of time thinking about how much I dislike "Under The Bridge" (and, no, not just because it's popular... I dislike it solely on it's own merits) and couldn't get past it to move on to how much I dislike the rapped vocals and, well, absolutely everything else (including the video) about "Give It Away".

well when I said coming to XBL....it would imply that because it's coming to 360 first. I would never think that a feature would not be in the PS3 version.
Funny thing is I love my PS3. I just don't play RB on it.

Saying they'll be out "before the end of the year" makes me think my guess of November is right on. I say the week before the Euro launch.

The manual instructs you to enter the code at http://www.rockband.com/bonustracks . Pretty sure they aren't marketplace codes, but rather they e-mail you a marketplace code.

I loaded that survey with tons of bands/songs I want in the game. Hopefully they'll take this requests more seriously since they're from the people that went out to buy Rock Band 2 as soon as possible. I wish I could have checked a box to let them know I own Frequency and Amplitude, and hopefully they would weigh my picks higher (doubtful I know).

So that further confirms that Wii will have DLC. I have the 360 version, but that's still good to know that they're not screwing over Wii owners other than the release date this time.

So my RMA Guitar and Foot Pedal have arrived. Pedal is great, well, it works.
The Guitar feels more solid, the strum bar feels better, buttons clickier, but the overdrive concerns me. It's very very fickle. Random tilt and odd angles works sometimes, but others not so good. I'm not sure if I should send this back or not.

So are proofless RMAs done now? I meant to RMA my pedal while I could but forgot.

I just filled out an RMA... No mention of proof. Uh. Am I good?

I guess, possibly because they haven't taken down their website yet.

Just did RMAs for drum pads and a pedal... Let's hope this works.
