Cookyman Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I'm getting GH4 on Wii! I'm getting it too but on PS3 was gonna get the Wii version but since I've now got a PS3 it seems mad to spend £150 on an inferior version.
Guest Jordan Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 There is no way in hell Rock Band 2 will be out here before next March... I bet my balls on it. Shame the US version is region locked.
Ramar Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 There is no way in hell Rock Band 2 will be out here before next March... I bet my balls on it. Not that I know any better, I will hold you to that.
Babooo Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I think I'll definitely get Rock Band 2 sometime rather than Guitar Hero. Better track list and DLC win it for me. But I was wondering, seeing as both sets of instuments are compatible, which instruments to get? GH or RB instruments? Decisions decisions....
Ganepark32 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I'm not willing to put money on it but the UK/European versions for Rock Band 2 on the 360 have already been sent to the respective classification boards. The BBFC already have a copy and are in the middle of classifying it now. So I wouldn't put it passed them to bring it out near enough to Guitar Hero World Tour's release date if not just before it.
tapedeck Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 They'd be mental to miss christmas. But yeah, they will miss it I'd imagine. Purely on the shambles of the UK release date for RB1. They'd have done better releasing the RB1 tracks as downloadable content and having it alongside RB2. Think I'll get GH4 too (for the music creator gen) and then RB2 will probably appear when GH4 is starting to tire. Whoop!
dazzybee Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I'm getting it too but on PS3 was gonna get the Wii version but since I've now got a PS3 it seems mad to spend £150 on an inferior version. How is it inferior? I thought it has exactly the same but with added Mii mode?
Gizmo Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Will Rock Band 2 / GH4 be compatible with the old instruments? Theres no way I want to buy another set, but I might be tempted to buy just the discs if they work with the RB stuff.
tapedeck Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I'm sure on the PS3 everything is now compatible.
Cookyman Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 How is it inferior? I thought it has exactly the same but with added Mii mode? No line 6 technology in the Wii music creation tool. Instruments not compatible with Rock Band Graphically inferior. DLC is still a bit of a mystery on the Wii (we know it uses SD card but nothing else).
Gizmo Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I'm sure on the PS3 everything is now compatible. Sorry, I mean on the 360. As in, will Rock Band 2 be playable with Rock Band 1 drums? Same with GH4, although iirc that has 5 pads on the drumkit, so it probably isn't.
Guest Stefkov Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Sorry, I mean on the 360. As in, will Rock Band 2 be playable with Rock Band 1 drums? Same with GH4, although iirc that has 5 pads on the drumkit, so it probably isn't. I should hope that the RB1 equipment work with the second. I think they do but if they didn't...jeez. As for GH...dunno.
S.C.G Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I should hope that the RB1 equipment work with the second. I think they do but if they didn't...jeez.As for GH...dunno. All will be cross compatable apparently.
dazzybee Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 No line 6 technology in the Wii music creation tool. Instruments not compatible with Rock Band Graphically inferior. DLC is still a bit of a mystery on the Wii (we know it uses SD card but nothing else). Whats line 6 tech? The thing is, I'll have to buy Guitar Hero Instruments anyway because the drums are different. Grpahics I couldn't give 2 shits about and I have faith in ye olde DLC I just prefer my Wii, easier to take round to friends houses which I do a lot etc.
Gizmo Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I just checked around, and Activision have confirmed that the Rock Band 1 drums will be compatible with GH:WT.
McPhee Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Everything is cross compatable on the 360 As a result i'm buying the full GH:WT kit, the Drums look better!
Babooo Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Everything is cross compatable on the 360 As a result i'm buying the full GH:WT kit, the Drums look better! I think I might do the same. GH kit, RB game FTW.
Roostophe Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I'll need to get some new drums, my current ones are absolutely knackered! My second kick drum has cracked, and my yellow drum is completely unreliable. Plus the new ones are much better anyway. Cymbals ffs!
gmac Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 all instruments are now cross compatible after Microsoft and Sony stepped in to stop the bitching between the two companies RB1 drums work with GH:WT the game will just play as if there are only 4 targets to hit instead of the 5 on the GH drums
flameboy Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Is it worth trading in my GH3 for Wii for a Rock Band Guitar and copy of Rock Band for PS3? space issues means until me and the missus move house a drum set is well out of the question, but love the DLC on rock band and think my girlfriend would secretly love singing with the microphone (any USB mic works right?)
Zell Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Wrong thread but... I just got the achievement for getting 200k on Cult of Personality wtithout star power! Win!
Dyson Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Wrong thread but... I just got the achievement for getting 200k on Cult of Personality wtithout star power! Win! High 5 - I got that too! Who needs the power? Not us!
Roostophe Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Obviously, I got that one too. :wink: I also managed to get a score of 480,000+ on Green Grass and High Tides on Expert Guitar yesterday. Shut your mouth, jackass, I rock! : peace: (<-He ain't doing the peace, he be doing the devil horns!)

This what I'm thinking about too, but then GH4 is out soon which looks even better than RB. But by then GH3 will be worth pennies so it's a tough decision...
