ROCK BAND 4 DECEMBER UPDATE - Available on Xbox One and Playstation 4 on December 8th, 2015:

New: BRUTAL MODE - the better you do, the less of the notes you can see. The chart is identical to expert, and what would otherwise be gold stars would instead now be crimson stars. Brutal Mode has separate leaderboards with Harmonix, but is mixed in on Scorehero. Brutal scores can be entered on Scorehero now by checking "Brutal Mode?" on your score input, but won't show any differently until we add the icon and styles for it later today.

New: FC RECOGNITION - during a song, your multiplier will be surrounded by a gold circle as long as you still have an FC. Upon completion of the song, a voice will say "FULL COMBO!" and your score will be surrounded by gold leafing. A small gold leafing also appears on your quickplay library to indicate the song was FCd. Scorehero plans to use this new functionality to add some kind of visual indicator for FCs of RB4 songs.

New: TAUNTING - upon completion of a song if you beat the score of a friend, you will have the opportunity to send them a taunt message.

New: PLAYER STATS - track various stats according to your profile such as total songs played, total score, total # of FCs, etc.

New: VARIABLE BREAKNECK SPEED - select anywhere from 1.25x to 2.5x

Returning: More details now show on score results screen (and ScoreHero's score input has been modified accordingly - note streak is back)
Returning: Auto-Kick now available for drums.

Fix: Adjustments to track transparency.
Fix: Quickplay saved scores are now instrument specific
Fix: Leaderboards no longer mix player scores and percentages from different performances and instead show only the info for the single performance with the highest score.
Fix: Automatic Calibration adjustments
Fix: Fix to prevent hitches for PlayStation 4 players with 2000 Friends.
Fix: Game no longer crashes when the vocalist joins a song that doesnt have a vocal part.
Fix: Band History stats now list the correct total number of Rock Shop items.
Fix: Improvements to microphone lag.
Fix: Improvements to tambourine hit sensitivity.

That's kinda interesting. Shame I don't have a PS4.

OMG WHERE HAS THIS BEEN FOR ROCK BAND?!

no comment on the other songs, mainly because I haven't heard of them/don't know them.

OMG, this sounds so badass. Why did it take 10 years for something like this to pop up?

Got the 3.06 gig install finished, but didn't have time to play it yet.

"Returning: More details now show on score results screen" they could literally have included this at launch, its about damn time.

Question about the auto kick feature: how will this effect score input for the site? I imagine we will be seeing a lot more new high scores on extremely bass pedal heavy songs now if the kicks are automatically scored, versus before. Not sure if you think this is an issue, but I think for the top 5% of the drumming community it likely is. My wife for one is very excited about it, as she can now play on Pro Expert and allow our band to now go for gold stars as she has fatigue set in on kick heavy songs. Before she would play Pro Hard drums almost exclusively for the added challenge without wiping herself out from the leg fatigue. Will be very interesting for our play session this week.

No change, same as before: auto-kick scores are not considered valid and cannot be submitted to ScoreHero.
