Rock Band 4

NICE NICE NICE
everything about this just gives me more hype for it. looking forward to the ign blowout

Holy shiz, Rockband just take my money.

Thanks for the updates btw. The hype for this is unreal.

The Who aren't surprising at all. They're the only band to appear in every main Rock Band game to date. I'm sure Rush would have shared this distinction if "Subdivisions" weren't likely relegated to DLC, probably due to some deal with Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.

 

Somebody Told Me is my favorite Killers song, so yay for that.

 

...

 

Well, I played only Rock Band 2, (And LEGO Rock Band if it counts.) Now, I can have a game on the Xbone that is worth playing again and again, as long as it performs better than the past 3 games.

I fully expected to need to buy a receiver for Xbox instruments, but the confirmation is nice. Still probably going to get a new guitar so I don't have to take up one of the USB ports when playing with other people, though.

Now I just wonder if the midi adapter will be compatible for the people using midi guitars (yes, they work for non-pro mode) and electric drums.

A Judas Priest song from Redeemer of Souls? Huh. Would have expected something from Painkiller and I was hoping for something from Angel of Retribution.

 

...

 

*sigh* I guess I should have expected something Fall Out Boy. They're absolute garbage, but popular garbage because pop music listeners are too stupid to recognize good music.

 

Cringey post aside, opinions are subjective. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean other people won't, and for a video game company trying to sell as many copies of their game as possible, of course they are going to spread out the different genres of music. You don't "have to" play those songs, and needlessly bashing something to show your "superior" taste in music is just petty.

 

Yes, because I totally don't acknowledge the popularity of a band that is completely derivative of far better and more original works in it's own genre that makes some of the most obnoxious and uninspired tripe to be played on the radio. I'm not sitting here demanding the game consist of nothing but obscure progressive rock, but I would prefer to see popular music that isn't absolute ****. I mean, I actually am kinda celebrating the inclusive of "Uptown Funk." That's a fun song that's also popular.

Why can't we see something like Daft Punk? It might sound strange, but practically everything on Random Access Memories would work very well. Hell, as much as I dislike them, why not more Paramore? At least they've got a few ideas that show they actually put some effort into their work.

The Protomen in Rock Band? Damn. After them stating disappointment at the model of the Rock Band Network (IE, they disliked that Harmonix took a far larger chunk of the money earned than they did), I completely gave up on them in the game.
