Wonder if they'll patch old songs. If we assume stuff since last July or so has harmonies in that still leaves hundreds of DLC and RBN tracks without them, which is still weird.

Do many of those "early" DLC songs have harmonies in it, though? I'm too lazy to check it, maybe it isn't that much to do for HMX...

But yeah, worst case would be that all the early songs drop in "1 vocal part" category what would not be that bad.

 

[Archie]

Yeah, I thought this was a common sense feature.

I wonder if GH6 will "innovate" with harmonies.

Hey Archie, I was on a tear last night when it came to EX Missions. I was able to do the one for Halpas in Bootes where you have to hunt down more UMAs than he can. The toilet monster mission was incredible. :lol :lol :lol

I'm somewhere in the 6th dungeon. Be sure to get a King Frost ASAP. He is the best healer in the game at that point and is useful for an incredibly long time.

You know it's gonna be just like with the HO/PO chords.

It'll have been a year since Harmonix instituted it, so I'm gonna say that's a bingo.

 

[McBradders]

Yo dudes, I need some new drum silencers real fucking bad, and it appears that rockbanddrumsoft.com is out of business. I HAVE NO BOUNCE! It's killing me

Any reccomendations?

This is brought to you with a heartfelt "Fuck you" to EA, MTV Games and Harmonix for fucking Europe over with no instrument revisions other than a Beatles pack I simply don't fucking want.

U mad!

YES I MAD!

I'm getting ready to hit level 30 (I would have last night, but I had to go to bed for work this morning), so that means Black Frost will be ready to be fused. I'm still hoping I can get to level 34 quick because I NEEEEEEEEEED Frost Ace in my life. Best surprise ever. :lol

It was good knowing ya, boys!

I don't think they'll add that to old songs cause it will probably be a lot of work (adding, testing, re-submission to Sony/MS,...etc), but maybe since HMX knew they're gonna have harmonies in RB3, they already have it in some already released DLC as you said.

Iron Maiden harmonies would kick ass.

 

[birdman]

Iron Maiden harmonies would kick ass.

I'm seriously crossing my fingers for this.

 

[Sp3eD]

Screw the harmonies. This confirms that multiple mics can sing solo. So much fun at parties. Easy to get 100%'s too.

 

[Ashour]

I'm seriously crossing my fingers for this.

Songs like 2 Minutes to Midnight would be much much easier, also Wasted Years and the Trooper would fucking rule.

I can't wait to do Adrian's deliciously cheesy backup vocals.

 

[Archie]

The only DLC song that needs harmonies is Under Pressure.

Fine I'll take Harris :/

 

[birdman]

I'm gonna go a little bit out on a limb here and say the Queen pack already has the data in it for harmonies.

 

[Ridley327]

I'd say that's a pretty safe bet.

 

[Remfin]

I hate to be a downer fellas but the Wii version of DLC does not have harmonies. Now you may say, "well it probably isn't going to export anyway, so they didn't include it!", but they include the DTA files (song meta-data, completely unused on the Wii) just like the Xbox version (which actually uses them).

BTW, from the DTA file for Disturbed's "The Game":

(genre numetal) ;; more like poometal

 

[Affeinvasion]

The story of the reveal is kinda funny:

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/28/rock-band-3-to-have-vocal-harmonies-harmonix-confirms/

Harmonix Project Lead Chris Foster began listing off the games with harmony support. "We've said Rock Band 3 would have harmonies already, right?" Foster asked his fellow panelists, who responded with a booming, "No!"

Yeah, but line 15 of every recent song's metadata has the number of vocal parts, which may indicate that harmonies were being thought about. For instance, the Game's metadata has the line (listing 1) while for Sychronicity II, the line is missing completely.

Well, those only start showing up for me with the 12/15 week, and the Green Day's list 2 parts, so I guess I need to scan those ones closer to see. I haven't exactly been checking rigorously, I only really checked back when people were claiming about "things already in the files you don't know about" or whatever that was...so, my bad on that! Carry on with the speculation!

 

[BigDug13]

Well if they add harmonies, I hope they fix the Alice in Chains songs. Layne sings harmony a lot during choruses, yet they charted Layne's part the entire song, so you end up singing the dissonant harmony part instead of the main melody during much of the song.

Always throws me off since I'm expecting to sing the melody throughout.

 

[BrokenBox]

I wish they made a Lost game exactly like Heavy Rain.

We were at that panel. They literally just got finished listing all the things they couldn't talk about so as to avoid getting crowd questions about shit they couldn't answer. Then the first question asked they threw that out there it was hilarious.

 

[NameGenerated]

It's not really that surprising. I mean, why wouldn't there be harmonies in it.

I picked up Disgaea 3 at that gamestop sale.

It is going to be the fucking death of me.

 

[Mileena]

Do you have 300 spare hours?

It takes over 100 hours just to get the first trophy btw

 

[NameGenerated]

WrestleMania is too damn expensive. The wwe.com online stream is $55. If It was like $15-$20 I'd probably get it just for the reliability and quality, but $55, screw that. Lamp like normal tonight.

I got the jump 100 times one already.

But yeah, I'm like 10 hours in and still don't know what the fuck is going on. I just started my first item world trip and fucked up a geoblock and got 75% of the people killed (deathblow).

 

[Ashour]

I got bored with Bayonetta, I'm gonna start playing something else. I'll probably finish it sometime in the future.

JTV/Ustream are your friend.

 

[MrOctober]

Yeah we were literally right next to the speakers all night and I'm paranoid about my hearing. I work around huge loud ass machines and run jack hammers and shit like that. I'm always nervous I'm going to go deaf some day.

And JTV gets taken down immediately pretty much, I already know a few sites though.
