I think I'll just do it now and claim the drum periph as one of the most replaced peripherals a game has ever had. I'm sorry but when you play the drums you cant just sit there and tap on them like you tap your fingers. You gotta go to town. Especially on a song like Welcome to the Jungle.

This game is going to have multiplayer capabilities where 4 people (guitar, bass guitar, drums and vocal) from around the world can get together and create there version of any particular song. Sort of. I mean it does have the tracks laid down but the freestyle sections look great.

So what do we name The 'Files band??

Oh and thanks for fixing the title. I don't know what it is about thread titles that confuse my fingers so much.

This looks so good, it may just be a huge hit -
I mean, whoever buys this could have epic gameplay with a group of people.... all in one game.
It combines 3 different games together, each solid (as I understand) on their own.

I would love to see this in play - (btw - the first link was taken off YouTube).

thanks for the link!
That does look intriuging.

As a drummer, I question the accuracy of the drum chart and ergonomics of the pads, but if there's even any abstracted feel of playing to those songs that contributes to an enjoyable gaming experience, I'm all for it (and have been waiting years for it).

Well, going by that articles set list, the song list sounds great, with the exception of everything in the 2000s bracket. I really hope they get more good metal mixed in there than they have in previous games.

And the downloadable album feature sounds like a great idea, but I have this funny feeling that they are gonna charge way too much for em (I am willing to bet around 10-15$ an album... unless I can burn it to a disc, I'll pass).

Well since it is just red, yellow, green, and blue buttons and a certain control "port" you can still use the guitar or drum set to play Scene it.

I saw a youtube video of a guy playing Dance Dance revolution with his PS 2 guitar. So I think these games can co exist.

Well heres some good news for some I guess. I never really considered them a "Rock" band, more of a band band I guess, and I like absolutely none of there music.

It's wireless on PS3 I believe... MS has patents for the wireless on 360 which raises the price.

Or maybe that was GH3.

That's true for one of them anyway.

People where concerned about the price of GH 3 going up due to the choice to include a wireless guitar but have said they are keeping it the same price as the PS version.
http://www.joystiq.com/2007/09/21/re...e-price-as-ps/

As far as the Rock band bundles I've heard they are only being sold with WIRED guitars.

Amazon lists the PS3 version as wireless.

I was on the fence due to the cost, but if its wired only, then its a no-brainer. I won't be a Rock Star.

I can't believe people are so excited about this game. I mean, its cool, but $180 cool? Not sure about that.

For that price you might as well start looking at real drums/guitar

Ruined,

Have you played Guitar Hero at all? Thats what really got me hyped for this game was playing the first 3 GH. It takes a fun party game to a whole new level. Is it a tad overpriced, maybe, but I know that my friends and I will all enjoy the hell out of it.

Agreed.

They're dorky, but GH parties are a lot of fun. We're having an RB party next week and I expect geek-rawking fun!

Especially after a few beers are involved it will get really ridiculous.

From what I understand, you can sing whatever lyrics you want as long as it matches pitch. So . . . yeah.
