I'm probably in. I do wonder though, right now they have said that "all" (and we know that it is going to be the majority, but not all) of the previously purchased songs will become available, at no extra charge to users who bought it all in the first place. I wonder if that means somehow through voodoo magics it might mean that "Hey, RB4 is your first foray into plastic guitar games? Then here, for $100 get the on disk tracks from RB1, RB2, LRB and all previous DLC is half price."

It'd be really nice to get the majority of the first 3 CDs in some kind of discounted pack. All my RB poo poo from 2 and 3 was on the Wii so I'd be starting out at square one on the PS4. Overall I'd really love to get back into doing Rock Band, especially in a new apartment, but if it just takes too much money to get the previous base content then it would really not be worth it.

initial new ideas are alright but lol at the loving awful preliminary artists they listed. what's going to make or break this is the tracklist and Guitar Hero is already losing that battle against the entire past library being brought back to RB4.

If I buy this for PS4, how would I get RB2+3 tracks on it? I used to play RB2+3 on my Wii. I can't imagine ever playing RB4 without the setlists from those CDS, if there isn't a way to just download those then I won't bother getting the new one

Getting RB2 on your PS4 would involve finding a copy of RB2 for the PS3 with an unused export code. Since those were redeemed via RB3, you'd also need to get/borrow a copy of that.

There is currently no announced way to get RB3 disc songs into RB4.

so basically I need to buy RB2, then RB3, then export all of RB2 to RB3 on my old PS3, then what? it's just tied to my account and shows up in RB4?

The site used to generate RB2 export keys is down, so that's not possible anymore.

this alone kind of makes it sound infinitely worse than RB3 or 2 and lazy as gently caress. also begging for manual codes just to get those old games exported seems so loving bad. did they really not foresee that problem way in advance? it sounds like so much poo poo just doesn't carry over correctly.

I don't think all the manuals even have codes, I'm betting they'll use chievos to see if you've played or something.

poo poo if all I have to do is put it in my old ps3 and then have it connected to psn for ps4 that's actually not that much of a hassle

Because they haven't said word one except for constantly delaying it and not saying anything? "We added particles, you see guys! That was worth 8 months of delaying!" There's no indication that it will actually come out. They've constantly missed milestones.

They haven't added anything of worth to make the delay worth it. It just leads to questions like "Did they use the funds they raised on Amplitude to make Rock Band?" (Yes).

Not to mention that it's widely rumored that they pulled the entire staff off of Amplitude to work on Rock Band. How is that acceptable? Why is Rock Band more important? They shouldn't have kickstarted a game if they couldn't have made it without finishing Rock Band. It's shady.

why do you even give a poo poo when it's no secret you like guitar hero better anyway? are you autistic or is your brain just loving broken

that is really incredibly pathetic and sad. launching a kickstarter for a pc port for a title that already had problems with crossing older material over and didn't sell that well to begin with, plus any existing people won't be able to bring over their existing $200 or more song library DLC. lol hope you also like crowding around a computer monitor as opposed to whatever big screen setup you have for the console.

While I agree with all your other points, it's incredibly easy to hook a PC up to a big screen TV nowadays. Especially since they're using Steam, which has Big Picture Mode with full controller compatibility.

yeah it's probably not an issue for most tech-savvy people but the point there is: if you're just going to hook up to a big screen anyway and have people who want to play, why wouldn't you have already bought RB4. There's also the question of how controllers (instruments) might carry over from console to PC.

decided to buy this since my gf and I thought it would be a fun party game and I got the whole package for like 90 bux. I also bought the RB3 disc for my PS3 so I can export that poo poo over. What exactly do I need to do for that, just insert the disc and then PSN recognizes that I own the game when it starts up?

Create a save file and calibrate your game so you get a trophy, that should be enough.

I don't need any RB3 controllers to do anything, right? I have no previous rock band stuff for either system so I'm hoping if the RB4 guitars and poo poo don't work I can use my PS3 controller.

is there some loving convoluted secret to get the Store to work? no matter what I click to purchase it comes up with the same message, problem completing your purchase. I even tried buying something right out of the PSN store and nothing happens. What the gently caress, how is this game so loving bad.

There's RB DLC going back to the first No Doubt pack that was stemless, sorry. My point is it isn't a big deal and no body even realized in the first place except for people who are looking for something to bitch and moan about.

dude just shut the gently caress up, forever.

Is there any option in RB4 to revert old songs to like, the old solo structure? I was surprised that even Tom Sawyer replaces what I thought was a pretty well-known solo with the freestyle spaces.

well I'd get Stop from that list for GH2 nostalgia but that's it

where the gently caress is my Them Crooked Vultures pack or even QotSA Like Clockwork pack. gently caress I'd even take Eagles of Death Metal, it's a crime the one song they put in is one of their most boring

Pull Me Under! Free Will! Mother Mother (the song not the band)! That new Blink 182 song? Some other things I guess?

I'm assuming most if not all will be available as DLC on RB4. I've really missed a lot of these older songs since I couldn't transfer anything before RB3.
