Rocksmith |OT| While My Guitar Gently Weeps
- Thread starter Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew
- Start date
no. They keep saying it's going to come as DLC but I wouldn't be surprised if they hold off till Rocksmith 2
Well that sucks. Thanks for the reply though, bring on Rocksmith 2 I guess.
Just dusted off my old guitar (a late-80s shredder from Jackson Charvel) and replaced the input jack. Thought I'd also pick up Rocksmith as an added motivation to start playing again. Worked like a charm. Logged a good dozen hours in the past two days.
The song selection could be more varied (a bit lopsided towards The Black Keys and other crunchy white-boy blues), but at least it's got me playing again. Looks like the DLC support is still rolling, so that's good news.

That just came out last week. Looks like they've been doing about two DLC packs a month. There have already been two releases this month, so...
Really? What came out before that?
Bout 3 new songs every two weeks like clockwork since release

Man, I'm getting so pissed!
I finally got this game an a guitar for the 360, and no matter what, it keeps telling me the cable is not connected! I made sure everything was snug, and nothing! The cable works fine on my computer, and I can hear my guitar as well, but for some reason this isnt working with my 360!!
Anyone else experience this?

That's a really generic riff to guess what it is. What is the tempo? As a mainly metal player I'm hearing it fast but, it rings no bells...well, outside of a Metallica riff but, I know that it can't be that.
no way to tell tempo from the screen shot ...
here's the written "hints" that have been provided so far :
1. Think California pop-punk - not Red Hot Chili Peppers.
2. Not RATM
3. ... forget the california comment, that's just not right... Pretty certain they live in America tho
4. at least one green card in the group I think...
5. well, one of them was actually an American who moved to UK...

So it's every band that has an American that moved to the UK and a green card... Those aren't very good hints...lol.

Well there should still be 2 more coming yet to be named, so you still have a chance at that one !
IT'S A HUMILIATING KICK IN THE CROTCH
I love that album. In for the pack as long as it's not Omega Man and Every Little Thing.
I <3 those songs. We are no longer friends.

Well, to be fair (to me), I'm not familiar with The Police songs outside of 2 or 3.

Hey guys it's my brothers birthday and he's been waiting for the pc version but it keeps getting pushed back. I think I'm just gonna buy him the console version to hold him over. Are the ps3/360 versions identical or does one have a slight edge?
Edit- I have turtle beach headphones hooked up to the ps3 via optical cable. It's the 5.1 surround sound headphones. The 360 hookup uses a regular headphone jack. So I'm guessing the sound would be better on ps3.

Personally I have no issues with the PS3 version.
But I've not played both, so have no means to offer a side by side comparison.
If you have different hookups, I will tell you that the general consensus seems to be that the more analog and less digital your signal has to go through to get from your guitar to your ears the better.
I have my PS3 hooked up dual now on component and HDMI just for this game and always switch over to component when I boot this up.
There is a very appreciable difference between using the two connections.
If that helps any.

Thanks I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a bad port. Know it doesn't happen as much as it use to but after skyrim I decided to always check.
It's highly recommended either way you go ...
If he plays guitar it's almost a surety he'll love it, as long as there are tracks on the setlist for him.
Since i got the game release week it's pretty much all I play on the console.
I put down and never picked back up Dark Souls, Battlefield 3, Uncharted 3, Mass Effect 2 and have Kingdom of Amalur unopened.
Any time I have the urge to fire up the PS3 I can never think of a reason to pick anything else to play over this.
It's a really fun guitar game that surprised me at how well it was pulled off ... and it absolutely flabbergasts me to this day that it was Ubisoft of all people that managed to do this.
My PS3 is hooked up to my monitor.....would using the headphone out port work just as well? I'm using HDMI. I've never personally had a problem with lag in the game, but I guess the less the better.
Isn't that bandfuse game supposedly better/have more potential? IGN keeps hyping to to the nth degree while bashing Rocksmith for all its problems.

Headphones might be better for you might not.
There are so many possible variables in every persons set up it is hard to say whether you'd notice any difference or not.
Bandfuse I've never even heard of...though a very quick search and cursory glance looks like it could have potential, but seems like it may still be a bit early to tell.
Dunno...will have to look into it further.
The early interface shots don't enthuse me much, tho.
You can be sure there are gonna be more titles jumping in to fill this niche (until it implodes) ... but for now Rocksmith is really the only thing on the block, imo.

I did a little write up of what we know so far about the game. It has potential but personally I find barre chords in tablature to be extremely confusing to read on the fly...
The interface is ugly as hell, and the game is a 360 exclusive? I have a 360, but fuck that.
I do like the slow down your songs thing. Something that is MUCH needed in rocksmith atm.
I actually like them, Ghost in the Machine just gets a bit much as an album. Demolition Man through Rehumanize Yourself are pretty bad, though.
I agree. The beginning of the album is amazing with Spirits in the Material World, Invisible Sun, and Every Little Thing, but then after that strong start it starts going all over the place. The ending song Darkness, is one of my favourite Police songs ever though.

If it's 360 exclusive then I'm out because I never bought one. Also, I don't like the interface but, that may be because I'm used to Rocksmith.
