Rock Band 4 announced for PS4 and Xbox One

The new OT should just be named after the original rock band thread that started it all for RB GAF.

To begin with? Everything.

I support this, as an homage to a group of people who died to make community threads a thing.

Also finally set-up my launch night hang-out, super pumped!
 
What was it? Haley Fridays? lol

But then again, have they ruled out ANYTHING? I think wired instruments were the only thing they've definitely said no to.
I actually think for wired instruments on XBox their official stance has just been definitely not AT LAUNCH but haven't said it will never happen ever. Just for this game's best chance to succeed I hope they eventually get figured out:
Wired instruments working on both PS4 AND XBone
ION Support on both systems
RB3 Export!!!!
Add online play as part of an update
 
Hey guys it's been like 7 years do you think we can finally get a master version of War Pigs and other classics or are we stuck with the garbage covers forever?
 
Rock Band 4 |OT| See You Online

sorry

Hoping that the recent Babymetal news opens up the gates for more songs with non-English vocals.

Well, they had a poorly animated Hayley Williams avatar to go along with it. Plenty of bragging rights!

Guitar Hero's 'guest artists' were seriously the cheesiest shit ever haha. Rock Band did it much better in Lego Rock Band, since Lego Freddie Mercury and Lego Blur are awesome.

I earned 100 Gamerscore™ for collecting 300 widgets and thereby created Trump's America
So, I'm assuming it won't be possible for me to use my old X360 instruments on PS4?

Please don't make the OT with any of these terrible titles, especially based off puns from old irrelevant references. I'm hoping most of these are jokes.

Just make it

I don't want to cringe every time I visit it.

This post? This one right here? Ignore it. Do every possible opposite of what it says.

Will be interesting to see how the game scores. It has significantly less content than the last game from what I understand.
 
I have that day off from school, so I can probably handle it.
Perfect.

honestly I'm expecting something around ~8.3. I think the stuff missing (NOT removed...) compared to last game is gonna keep it from 9s-10s in a lot of reviewers eyes. The new stuff though will help it out though along with the fact that HMX has the gameplay and feel on lock. I'm so excited for this game, Rock Band is such an important series in my life and I'm happy to finally have it on next gen.

Edit: Also I wouldn't say significantly less content. I think the biggest missing feature is online play which I think will be their first big update. Its a platform so I expect it to keep evolving and I'm excited to see how it looks by the end of the generation.

I wonder if this game will get re-reviewed in the future; considering it's a Rock Band Platform, they said they're going to keep updating it instead of making new releases and who knows how far they'll take it over the next few years.
 
No IONs made me cancel my preorder, but I'm starting to think I'll still pick this up. I hate the idea of having to track down and use a stock kit again, but it'll do until some sort of ION workaround shows up. Is the $10 adapter still available on Amazon?

Isn't that one more accurate for Guitar Hero Live? Unless you count the buttons on the bottom end of the neck.

We totally have more buttons, man! And you use them this time! We didn't need to design a new controller to "innovate." I mean, you play Wolfenstein 3D and Titanfall with a keyboard and mouse that are basically unchanged. :D

Do you have to use the bottom buttons for the freestyle solos or can you use the top ones?

If only the bottom, does the slider on GH5 guitars work to emulate buttons?
 
Any deals on band in a box? I may skip finding an old drum kit and just go that route, then pick up an adapter for my old guitars. I won't be getting the game til late November unless I find a good deal.
