Rock Band 2 Announced, Sets Hardware and Software Precedents
Any fans of Rock Band in the audience? I said, ARE THERE ANY FANS OF ROCK BAND IN THE AUDIENCE??? YEAAHHH!!!!!!! Rock Band 2 is on the way. Here are the full details, along with a picture of the new guitar.
1, Better Hardware
According to Harmonix: “Quieter, more realistic, and more reliable instruments”
2. Third Party Hardware
“We’re also actively welcoming new peripheral makers to make instruments for our game. Just like real instruments, we want players to be able to choose what instruments they use…”
3. Backwards Compatibility
Songs you purchased for RB1 will work for RB2. Future RB songs will work for both games.
4. More Meaning
“We have several new modes that not only provide new ways for you to experience your music library, but also new ways for you to transition from Expert to real instruments.
Jason Chen and I will bring you more when the game is more officially unveiled at E3 in July. Until then, who out there is kicking themselves for buying the “Louder, less realistic and less reliable instruments?” [IGN via Kotaku]

Is it just me… Or is this to little to late?
Straight up, I was desperate for Rockband, it was the ultimate music game, and then it didn’t get released in Australia, and the importing fees just made it not worth considering further.
I was totally behind harmonix as they did an awesome job of Making Guitar Hero famous, and I didn’t like Guitar Hero III as much as II.
But Guitar hero 4 World Tour, man, It’s set to be released here before Rockband.
And I’m not buying 2 full sets of instruments…
hell yeh dexxie, Rock band missed its chance big time they never gonna sell any units vs GH4.
