Noodleman Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Before getting too excited, I read an article that said pre-release screens for Rock Band had Welcome to the Jungle in them, which we all know didn't make the final game. While the screen shot is positive, it doesn't mean it will be there. That was because the first ever video of Rockband had the Harmonix testers playing welcome to the jungle, with the Guitar Hero 2 controllers.
Ramar Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 That was because the first ever video of Rockband had the Harmonix testers playing welcome to the jungle, with the Guitar Hero 2 controllers. I was going by what I read.
Jimjebus Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Any one have a website or know of a place where i can get ahold of The ps3 version and for good price , Lowest ive seen was amazon for £75 but they wouldnt import it from america to england , any know of a place if so leave a comment or Pm me XD
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 I managed to play this on the 360 with some mates. We had 2 guitars (one was the guitar hero guitar), the drums and a microphone. It was fun, had a great time. I think I do much prefer the guitar hero guitar. It seems more user friendly to me, and it seems a hell of a lot easier to feel the buttons, which helped me a lot in trickier songs. There's some good songs in the game though, and I was pleased to see Cherub Rock was in there (as it is in GH3), so we had the whole band rocking to it.
gmac Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Hey Everybody, Coming at you a day early with the announce as we are closing the office tomorrow and celebrating our independence from something or other (something about a tea party in there too). What do we have for you? How about two tracks from the Red Hot Chili Peppers? That not good enough for you? How about two songs by the one band most people seem to be able to agree upon, Rush? What if I told you they were both masters? Yes, one of the songs is "Working Man" which we have put out as a DLC cover a few months back. This version (the Vault Edition), however, is an alternate-take master from the same session they recorded the hit with an alternate solo. It has never been released. Some days it is really amazing to have this job. Seriously. Release Date Tuesday, July 8th (Xbox 360 Marketplace) Thursday, July 10th (Playstation Store) TRACKS Red Hot Chili Peppers - Snow (Hey Oh) Red Hot Chili Peppers - Tell Me Baby Rush - Closer to the Heart Rush - Working Man (Vault Edition) alternate-take master All tracks are masters PRICE: All tracks are $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points). not the RHCP tracks I would have picked but oh well :p
Shorty Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 It was fun, had a great time. I think I do much prefer the guitar hero guitar. It seems more user friendly to me, and it seems a hell of a lot easier to feel the buttons, which helped me a lot in trickier songs.If you stick with the Rock Band guitar for a bit you may just find yourself converted.
Noodleman Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Struggling to think of 2 worse RHCP songs really. Its like the weezer pack lets just release new songs that are shit rather then songs when the bands where in there prime.
Roostophe Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 I love Tell Me Baby Same here. I also love Snow (Hey Oh). Ooh, me want them songs!
tapedeck Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Quick question: Which guitars (both rockband and GH) have USB connections? - Anyone know the best place to buy them too? I'm playing GH3 on the PC and would like to pick up a guitar as I got (just) the game for a tenner at a carboot. If I can get any guitar it would be better - obviously. I presume any USB one will work but unsure. Ta. Maybe a wireless one would work with a dongle of some kind? Aint. Gotta. Clue.
Noodleman Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 The Guitar Hero 2 one is USB and will work with GH3
tapedeck Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 The Guitar Hero 2 one is USB and will work with GH3 The 360 version, yeah?
McPhee Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 There are PC guitar hero guitars, they're just hard to track down. Not sure if a 360 one would work tbh, bit of a gamble.
Roostophe Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 One thing I don't like about this game is the amount of times "Run to the Hills" pops up in the Setlists in Band World Tour. We'll just be scrolling down, checking the setlist, going "Ah, this looks like a good setlist." then Run to the Hills pops up last, "Oh, fuck off!" we would then yell. You could put it down to it being the hardest song on both Guitar and Drums (we're both playing it on Expert), or you could put it down to the fact that my bandmate & I absolutely fucking hate this song, and don't understand why so many people like Iron bastard Maiden. It pops up far too many times that we leave so many setlists undone, and we can't be bothered to do them. We had the same problem with setlists having "Celebrity Skin" in them, but at least Celebrity Skin is a piece of piss. At least Enter Sandman is fun to play, and I hated that song before. And I don't even like Metallica. I just hope that Rock Band 2 doesn't have the same bloody mistake as this one. I would wager there being another Iron Maiden track on RB2, seeing as every bugger likes them, but hopefully it won't pop up that often in BWT. [/rant]
McPhee Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 You don't like Maiden, Metallica or Hole? What do you like?
Ramar Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 You don't like Maiden, Metallica or Hole? What do you like? I hope he doesn't enjoy a clip round the ear for those heathen sentiments he just posted.
Gizmo Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 You don't like Maiden, Metallica or Hole? What do you like? Neither do I The song that annoys me on Rock Band is Train Kept A Rollin, it's such a boring song but it goes on forever.
Roostophe Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Aerosmith! That's another buggery band I hate. What do I like? Out of those with songs on Rock Band: Black Sabbath, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, QOTSA, Radiohead, Blue Oyster Cult, Nine Inch Nails, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Strokes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Hives, Muse, David Bowie, Pixies, Coheed and Cambria, and a little bit of Boston, The Who and Deep Purple.

Dyson Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 I love love love the idea of live songs in these games. Make it seem as if you're playing the instruments to a crowd; and not recreating a studio song.
