Rocksmith 2014 edition revealed by Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains fame

Published on Jun 10, 2013
Following the huge success of Rocksmith, Ubisoft has announced a 2014 edition coming this October, during its E3 2013 conference.

Rocksmith 2014 was revealed by Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains fame, who later confirmed that Stone, from the bands 2013 album The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here, will feature in the game.

While details were light, it looks like Kinect functionality will feature in the Xbox One edition.

Cool. Always meant to check out the first Rocksmith but never did.

 

[Card Boy]

A very informative OP, would read again.

edit: updated now i see

 

[GreyMatter]

As someone who still tinkers around with Rocksmith regularly, I'm stoked. Awesome to see they're still supporting it!

 

[Jotamide]

Cool. Always meant to check out the first Rocksmith but never did.

Same, kept holding off for the Bass expansion; and when that came around I didn't grab it. Won't happen this time!

EDIT: The DLC from Rocksmith 1 will carry over!

 

[toymachine]

GAF is too unpredictable to make a fancy post right now, so here is all the information:

I'm sure it will cost us money though.

 

[Jotamide]

Hopefully not! Still, hyped about this. My PS3 will live a looong life after all.

 

[todahawk]

Just picked up the first Rocksmith at Target for $30, brand new with the 1/4" to USB cable. Loving it so far.

 

[toymachine]

I'm sure it will cost us money though.

No, it won't. The on disc import (Rocksmith 2011 -> Rocksmith 2014) definitely will though.

 

[rvy]

"2014 Edition"? That sounds terrible.

 

[quickwhips]

This is great news I have been playing the first one constantly on xbox after i got game on sale. Will buy day one this time.

 

[Kelthink]

Ahaha, Kinect functionality.

"Do a pose!"

 

[rulandos]

Awkwardly presented at the Ubisoft Conference (love Alice in Chains, their new stuff is just not good), but actually one of the games I'm really stoked about, certainly the session mode sounds really awesome, as I have no friends that are good enough to play with me

Here's to hoping they don't screw Europe again with the release date.

 

[toymachine]

Here's to hoping they don't screw Europe again with the release date.

Worldwide Release: October, 2013

Session Mode Demo

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Actually excited about this one, if the virtual band thing is half as responsive as the E3 demo suggested.

 

[Xyber]

Session Mode Demo

That looks great. Can't wait for this game. I wonder what new tunings they will add.

 

[toymachine]

Since "Stone" by Alice in Chains is in that confirms Drop C#

 

[DrBo42]

Session Mode Demo

Ugh is there really no option to change the meter? Come on.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Ahaha, Kinect functionality.

"Do a pose!"

Finally a Um Jammer Lammy sequel!

 

[ascii42]

The original recommended against HDMI. What will they recommend for the PS4 and XBOX One, which only have HDMI? Optical out?

 

[The Boat]

Yeah I saw a video on Gametrailers of them showing it off and a guy playing the guitar, dude rocked. Never got the chance to get the first one unfortunately so I'll bite. Hope it runs on my PC, it seems better to have it there than consoles.

They won't have to recommend anything for either since it isn't a next-gen title

Why does the OP mention XBOX One, then?

 

[R1CHO]

It even runs, although not perfectly, on integrated graphics. I am quite happy with the pc version, loading times are specially an improvement over the console.

 

[Spwn]

Hoping for a good track list and improved load times on the PS3 version. I really enjoyed the og Rocksmith.

 

[GreyMatter]

This game has fucking ultra soul by B'z. My prayers have been heard.

Day Zero.

 

[toymachine]

Why does the OP mention XBOX One, then?

NowGamer probably thought that it was running on Xbox One since the voice commands were used via Kinect. The game isn't announced for PS4 or XBox One according to Ubi SF it won't be.

 

[DrBo42]

Paul Cross has confirmed meter changes as DLC. 4/4 on the disk and then specific meter configurations after via their store (the availability/method of getting these updates is assumed on my end). For me, this is huge.

"New tracklist announcements are coming this week, starting tomorrow. Trust us, they’re epic."

[Xyber]

Nice bands so far.

 

[Spwn]

Ok, god damn it. I'm in.

Tak Matsumota's "Go Further"

Oh god, they seriously got Radiohead? Just when I think I'm done with music games....

 

[Of All Trades]

The first game had Radiohead on disc and as DLC.

 

[robotrock]

The first game had Radiohead on disc and as DLC.

Wasn't it just Pablo Honey and The Bends stuff though? Or did they actually get later era Radiohead on there?

 

[mr teaspoon]

The first game had Radiohead on disc and as DLC.

Yeah I heard it had Bodysnatchers, but I wasn't going to go spend hundreds of dollars just for that. If this has, like, full albums or whatever, I have to seriously consider it.

 

[Of All Trades]

It had High & Dry on disc and Bodysnatchers as DLC. 2014 will almost certainly not do full albums, and I don't see how that would make sense for a lot of Radiohead albums.

I also don't see how it makes sense to buy a guitar just to learn to play a certain group's songs through a certain format.

 

[mr teaspoon]

1) It'd make perfect sense for The Bends and OK Computer (and much of HTTT and IR)

2) When it's your favorite band, it makes sense.

 

[DrBo42]

We all win

OK COMPUTER? MOTHER OF GOD.

 

[The Boat]

Tak Matsumota's "Go Further"

Just confirmed via Famitsu

Yisss!

 

[AzureSkies]

I really wish that this version of the game has less PC issues, I had constant issues trying to get my bass working with the device and it's drivers until I re-installed my PC recently.

 

[Ydahs]

Can we get some Coldplay please?

... actually most Coldplay hits are piano driven, so it won't really work

 

[Fou-Lu]

Rocksmith is pretty sweet, but will the DLC transfer over?

Is it as good for bass as it is for guitar? I haven't tried it.

 

[AuthenticM]

For a second I confused Rocksmith with Rock Revolution and wondered what the fuck they were thinking.

 

[Jotamide]

I might actually cancel all my other preorders and get this instead. Is it confirmed to be $80?

 

[DrBo42]

If you don't have the cable I believe it's $79.99, yeah.

Yes it will. The bass support is pretty good for Rocksmith. Luckily the new one is built from the ground up with both in mind. Guitar and Bass in Session Mode and loads of tutorials for each.

holy shit
