I dunno, I think that the current Rock Band megathread applies to the second game as well......sine, you know, it's not just a game it's a platform.

BOOM! HEADSHOT!

That means I agree...

Especially since everyone that gets 'Rock Band 2', whom already has 'Rock Band', will be importing all of the songs into 'Rock Band 2' anyhow. I consider 'Rock Band 2' to just be 'Rock Band.'

Although, at least this way people can easily find the tracklist for 'Rock Band 2' without going through a thousand pages in the Rock Band Megathread.

conover619 · 07-19-2008, 10:47 PM

I believe the ps3 version is coming out in October. But it is the bundled version while the game and instruments are due Nov 30,

dgator783 · 07-19-2008, 11:22 PM

Nice job dgator.

Oh don't get me wrong, I applaud your efforts.

And we can always use this thread for organizing band vs. band competitions!

Mxr5150 · 07-20-2008, 01:11 PM

I can't wait for this, and if what I heard is correct, you will be able to play your downloaded songs from the Original RB on this one.

caliblue15 · 07-20-2008, 04:27 PM

why is the bundle more expensive? better be coming with some cymbals for that much.

So wireless drums drive up the cost 30 dollars? Cause the guitar was already wireless.

inuyashalover21 · 07-20-2008, 05:57 PM

Such a tough choice. GH:WT or RB2? Screw it! I will buy both lol

its the improvments they made to the instruments......including the wireless drums, reinforced metal kick pedal, pressure sensitive drum heads, new soft, quiter drum heads, auto calibrator on the guitar, new strum bar for guitar, and suposedly, buttons on the new mic mayube to use during the tamperin part and interact the menu without needing the controller......I say its about 30 bucks worth of upgrades.

plus i posted a new vid of Testify above under E3 Debut

conover619 · 07-20-2008, 06:53 PM

the symbols will be an add-on from mad katz for $30.00 and the buttons on the mic will also be a $50.00 after market

Off-topic. Is the Guitar Hero: World Tour track list listed yet?

Also, the Rock Band 2 guitar and drum set will work with Guitar Hero: World Tour right?

Will the Rock Band 2 guitar work with Guitar Hero III?

#1: No

#2: Yes, according to a report out of the Uk...the drums will work (assuming the guitar too). Once plugged in, the drum chart would be reduced to a 4 note chart.....but with this, I believe, will over chart the song because the lost note will not disappear but be added on to keep scores idenitical.

#3: Unknown, but I doubt it knowing Acitivision

after hearing this, I was thinking maybe I could dable in WTour and then I saw the screens. They look like crap esp the charts. Im totally sticking to RB.....the music creator is a useless feature in my opinion, if u cant add vocals, then its not a song.....and reports from E3 is that its difficult to use if u do not have any musical knowledge.....which I think makes up the majority..lol....I will go on record and say RB will outsell WT 3:1; The day Harmonix left, is the day Guitar Hero died.....

After you said that, I am sticking to RB. My brother is buying GH:WT so I will play that if I ever get bored of RB which is doubtful.

dgator783 · 07-23-2008, 12:09 AM

updated with new links under features and setlist....
