Support NeoGAF

[thekillermuffin]

Does anyone know if I need a USB 2.0 or 3.0 hub for the Legacy Adapter?

I'll have my OTA antenna, HDD, and Legacy Adapter taking over the three USB ports, so I'll need to buy a splitter to plug in my mic.

 

[xKilltheMx]

GAF is fucking amazing sometimes i swear.

HMX posted this about online on their forums:

Re: Online Play.

No, not at launch. BUT, we view RB4 as a platform and we'll be continuing to update it with new features. (We even have a really awesome FREE update coming this December with some new features for competitive players and other goodies too - more info soon). So rest assured that we're listening and we're diving in to player requests and continuously working to keep the game awesome. We're really excited about the product that's launching tomorrow and can't wait for you all to get your hands on the new features like Freestyle Guitar Solos, Freestyle Vocals, and the new Career.

There is definitely some big maybes in there.

IM READY!

Can't believe its been 5 years!

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

are there really no custom setlists? like, no way to play songs I want in an order I choose?

if so, that's like... really, really sad. disappointing as fuck. there's gotta be a way, otherwise that seems like a ridiculous thing to overlook/leave out

It sounds like something HMX plans on addressing.

This was honestly the first piece of "missing" stuff that affected me (besides the keyboard support) and I was bummed out.

assuming by their wording it's on the shortlist of things to fix which is good to hear

 

[Rebel Leader]

I have tried to get all of my songs there but there are some I couldn't get.

Every Rose Has it's thorn
She hates Me
Still alive
Smooth Criminal.

What about the songs I bought in a bundle like the Areosmith greatest dimension pack?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Can't wait to buy Cowboys From Hell, September, and Gimme Chocolate on day one. They're on the US store?

 

[Rocky]

About that instrument compatibility chart. Does it mean Xbox 360 instruments can be used with a PS4 with that adapter? It's a little confusing.

 

[PROh1bited]

Can't wait to buy Cowboys From Hell, September, and Gimme Chocolate on day one. They're on the US store?

Yes.

 

[mrklaw]

No separate instruments yet? I'm in the Uk but have to buy the US Ps4 version as that's where all my PS3 exports and DLC were from. I'm obviously not going to import a physical guitar.

Is the alternative a used PS3 guitar hero/rock band 1-3 guitar from eBay or cex?

From my experience, the Bundles don't trigger on your account, but the individual songs do.

So like, say you wanted to download Foo Fighters Pack 01. If you search for that, it'll still cost you 5.49 to download.

But if you search for "Times Like These" "My Hero" and "The Pretender" you'd see that they're all available to install for free.

It's really weird and overly complicated.

You have to download songs individually, even those you bought in bundles.

Any songs I bought in the bundle show that I have to pay again or they are not available for purchase

 

[aGuyInaBearSuit]

Called GameStop, they're willing to let me pick up my band in a box bundle tonight.

Thankfully I'm on PS4, they said the X1 version as a whole was delayed to Friday.

 

[Kor of Memory]

It could be the specific bundle you are looking at?

I was getting about half of them with the method I described above.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Question to any of you who have RB4. Has anyone tried using their RB3 A/V calibration numbers? If so, were the results similar or the same?

EDIT: Also heads up, both PS4 and XB1 digital pre-order songs can now be bought!

 

[KaYotiX]

Very disappointed in the lack of variety in the setlist.

I know it's called Rock Band, but rock just isn't that popular anymore. There should be more pop, R&B, and funk.

Its why they have 2000 songs as DLC........

 

[Snarfington]

RIP. I haven't pre-ordered anything from Amazon before so I was hopeful it would get here on release date :/

Just as an update, my stuff got shipped out around 9pm. A little late for me to be comfortable but y'know. It's on the way. Hope yours has or will be getting out the warehouse soon!

 

[TheFurizzlyBear]

Its people not reading. The only X1 thing delayed is the Game/Adapter bundle.

 

[Rebel Leader]

All songs from the Aerosmith Greatest Dimension Pack and from Queen Pack 1

Aw hell naw, this better not be anything more than game stops shipment. If my Amazon order doesn't come till fri I might just cancel and get drums on Craigslist

Edit: saw above post.

Though I still can't believe I'm buying another band in a box simply because I lost the floor piece the drums socket into. rip

I don't see the digital pre-order songs on either NA or EU PSN

 

[Rewrite]

What are the chances of going to Best Buy tomorrow and just getting the guitar bundle if you never pre-ordered the game?

 

[robotrock]

accidentally bought the $2 version of my iron lung

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

All songs from the Aerosmith Greatest Dimension Pack and from Queen Pack 1

Oh, right, I was talking about Xbone, sorry.

 

[xKilltheMx]

Better than getting a BIAB

 

[Rebel Leader]

Oh, right, I was talking about Xbone, sorry.

It should work the same way though

Here's a song That I already have telling me to buy it again (bought the aerosmith pack)

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

I don't see the digital pre-order songs on either NA or EU PSN

Odd, my buddy who's getting the game on PS4 was going nuts before about it. Maybe it got took down? Still up on XB1 it seems.

 

[robotrock]

I just ordered the band in the box bundle from Amazon

Full on feeling the rock band hype right now

 

[KaYotiX]

Still upset my wife made me give all my Rockband stuff away last year when we were cleaning up the house.

 

[Got the Shakes]

Yeah for those worried that XB1 bundles are delayed until Friday, my BiaB already shipped out from Amazon and is set to be here tomorrow. Seems the only things that have seen any possible delay/shortage is the legacy adapter bundle.

 

[Kor of Memory]

All songs from the Aerosmith Greatest Dimension Pack and from Queen Pack 1

Both of those didn't work for me either. Yet the Queen Extravaganza pack did work.

Like I said, it's super confusing.

 

[darknil]

Seeing that counter on my PS4 go down will kill me.

I was surprised the game was.. light, 6GB I think, is that correct?

Also, those who have the game already, please tell me in-game store tells you what DLC you can download. This has me worried.

 

[Chance Hale]

Is there a time frame on when we'll be able to play Rock Band 1/2 songs? Ie, next month or early 2016?

 

[Rebel Leader]

Both of those didn't work for me either. Yet the Queen Extravaganza pack did work.

Like I said, it's super confusing.

I was thinking of getting The Queen Extravaganza pack 2 sincs the only song from that i have is don't stop me now

 

[Kemal86]

So apparently the created character stand-in issue is being worked on according to Rockband's twitter.

https://twitter.com/RockBand/status/651097251603972096

Awesome. Hopefully quickplay setlist creation is next on the list.

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

I'm excited but I need new instruments so money is an issue. Unless they release the drum kit separately...

I have the old RB1 instruments but I need a new drum kit for my sanity's sake.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I'm excited but I need new instruments so money is an issue. Unless they release the drum kit separately...

Standalone instruments are coming early next year.

 

[Chance Hale]

Is there a list of bands with packs? Ie, Queen Pack 1, Oasis Pack, etc? Trying to get the dlc I want before it all goes off sale.

Paid 10 bucks for Doolittle, tsk tsk tsk.

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

Good to know. Will be a new year purchase like the original was.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Cracking that whip huh?

Wachow!

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

List of all Rock Band DLC. If you want, I can whip up a list of artist packs so you don't have to sift through all that.

 

[Chance Hale]

Oh no, I won't bother you to go through that. Will continue scanning through that.

Edit: Guess a lot of the dlc had the price raised early? Bummer.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Oh no, I won't bother you to go through that. Will continue scanning through that.

Alright. Note that Metallica 01, Locksley 01, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, and both Spinal Tap packs have been delisted.

 

[The Lamonster]

Is there a time frame on when we'll be able to play Rock Band 1/2 songs? Ie, next month or early 2016?

I thought you could...

 

[KaYotiX]

Cracking that whip huh?

Wachow!

To be honest i didnt expect another Rockband and my 360 was already gone so it didnt bother me untill they announced RB4 and the old intruments would work.

 

[Dibils2k]

amazon didnt dispatch hopefully tomorrow

 

[FyreWulff]

I just wanted them to allow your band to have a male vocalist and a female vocalist that it'd default to depending on the song. Over half a decade later and my wish still hasn't come true

Debating whether to go with the standalone version or get back into the full experience.

I prefer my intentional glitch method for RB3 that always gives you a female vocalist even if the song is sung by a male.

The game tries to swap in a male singer, but just ends up swapping the female vocalist into another slot, and replacing the singer with another woman :lol
