Sorry to interrupt the RB4 talk. Just wanted to point out that the initial release of StageKit Lightworks is out.
That took a lot more effort to clean up and bring to shape than I initially thought. I hope it's useful to whoever is still clinging to their Stage Kit.

That is all. Resume RB4 excitement.

The hardest one is probably 'get 5 stars on expert on all songs' but you can probably do it on any instrument like in RB3. And that one isn't even the highest point value achievement.

As a longtime Rock Band fan, playing RB3 with customs with three other friends reminded me of the incredible longevity of the game.

I have every hope for RB4. I'm also less worried that it will succeed.

I would, but something tells me that most of this thread and I aren't The Right Kind of Fan they're looking to get.

Impressive solo, though.

They'll never tell. Since the music library at launch is literally 'hundreds of songs', the preview videos don't really help in determining that either. But it's probably going to be 10% GH Live, 90% GH TV with all the ground & pound songs being on GH Live, and actual fun songs in GH TV.

You can tell because the "Live" ones will have band footage, while the "TV" ones will be music videos.

Of course, when they just dump song names without showing any actual footage, then, well...

I haven't wanted to speak up here, as the discussion has been positive, but there's just no reason for me to get RB4.

Don't own or want an Xbox One.
Don't own a PS4, not enough games to justify it when..

RB4 is a literal downgrade that requires an unnecessary (for me) equipment upgrade. I hope they patch in drum support, but even then I've been very spoiled by customs.

If new DLC works with RB3 I'll still buy that, I support Harmonix (will never give Activision a dollar after GH3).

I just don't see much incentive to buy in on a next gen system when I can still play every instrument on last gen.

I think they said DLC support won't extend back to Rock Band 3 (why deal with people asking where keys charting went / do every song twice) but I can't nail down an exact quote or source.

This is what holds me back. I have to spend how much on an Xbox One? Then I have to spend how much on the game plus an adapter for my instruments and songs that already work?

The funny thing is that it's probably not at all.

Rock Band and Guitar Hero were zeitgeist-big for a long stretch there; getting even a fraction of that bump back who peace out after the first 1 or 2 is a much more financially shrewd move than doubling down on the holdouts who went with them to 3 and beyond.

You know, us dopes.

So are there no plans to even launch Rock Band 4 as essentially a huge Track Pack for the PS3 and XBox 360? I don't really give a poo poo about all of the new features, just give me the songs man.

it's not doing anything new that justifies a next gen only release. At least with Guitar Hero I can see that they are doing new things that makes me believe it couldn't be pulled off on the previous gen.

Yeah, that's kinda baffling to me. New Guitar Hero is a game that's been designed to also run on phones, it's about as far as you can get from being a showcase for the new hardware.

I agree with this. It's also why I'm interested in GH, because it's a new game and system. And cheaper.
