Rock Band 3 (8/20/10 - All Songs Confirmed)

[Nuke39]

Even if there is a lot to soak in with Rock Band 3 with the prices, the amount of gameplay changes, the change in the looks, the new peripherals...you atleast have to give Harmonix credit for putting this much work into ONE GAME.

Instead of making another bundle disc with a few changes, they decided "Fuck it, we are going to revolutionize Rhythm Games AGAIN"

The drum pro mode doesn't seem to be so "pro" after all. The trailer showed a snare flam as red yellow. Theres still no double bass. Hi-hat pedal doesn't seem present, and if they still chart open hihat as blue I'll chuckle.

So the only true addition is cymbal notes for extra points?

If there is no pro mode for bass I will be a sad panda.

Sorry if I missed this (I am playing catch up now), but how is this going to affect the RBN?

I can't imagine all RBN songs will now have keyboard, harmonies, and pro modes.

Shouldn't RBN songs still function on RB2 as well as RB3 with limited functions.

IMO if they could do that. Keep RBN going for all RB2'ers (and of course work with RB3), and then have HMX DLC only be for RB3 that could keep pretty much everyone happy right?

There has been an RB3-synced update to RBN hinted at, which will most likely include harmony support (the lead vocals just being used for RB2 as in green day exports) and probably keyboards, but pro mode is unlikely.

RBN can still have "no part" type songs. It'll more than likely be compatible for all games.

BTW, for those people wondering how they got past the 360's 4 controller limit, I think I just found out how they did it.

I was showing the IGN video to my brother when the instrument selection screen showed up in the video. At the bottom was guitar, bass, drums and keys, but above all that were the following words:

All Instruments Mode Enabled!
Vocalists don't require a controller to play, they'll be added automatically.

In other words, vocalists just need a mic now. I'm assuming when playing on your own you'll need to use a controller though, but once you plug in the four other instruments, the game handles it from there.

I guess a picture says a thousand words:



EDIT: Watching the other video now, and man were there a lot of details I missed on the first run through, but the one I think no one has touched:

After pausing, the fretboard will rewind slightly so you don't miss the section you were playing.

So they removed the pause timer and took the On Tour method instead. Good call, good call.

"It wasn't playable at the event, but Harmonix showed us the Expert Pro chart for Dio's "Rainbow in the Dark" and it is mind-blowing. You are literally going to be asked to play every single note. Don't worry, different difficulty levels will be available on Pro to ease players into the new mode. It will also be used for Pro bass play. Pro is completely integrated in the game and can be chosen on a per-player/per-song basis (if supported)."
