Posted: Fri Jan 01, 2010 4:38 pm Post subject: Rock Band Mobile Score tracking is live! |
|
|
To start the new year, ScoreHero score tracking capabilities are now available for Rock Band Mobile.
The game has been available for several months now, and we originally had not planned to add this for score tracking. However, the game is well polished, lends itself well to score tracking and has a sizable amount of DLC. Those things combined with the popular demand from members here have changed our opinion.
I've only added solo score tracking abilities. Even though multiplayer is possible over local bluetooth wireless connections, I don't foresee people playing the game competitively in local groups. If you'd really like to be able to enter such scores then let me know and I might reconsider.
Also to address the "why this and not that" question before it's asked, I do realize there's multiple mobile games for Guitar Hero available as well with DLC, and with another just released. I don't feel that enabling score tracking for RB requires that we add these as well. If there's similar demand then I wouldn't be opposed, but in the past 2 years there's been about 3 people pitch for scoretracking and many more replies to those requests shooting them down (reference threads).
Have fun racking up scores on the go. Happy New Year, and enjoy! _________________

Awesome- my interest waned considerably when scoretracking was initially shot down. Time to get back into it!
A few things:
-Is the game's official title "Rock Band Mobile?"
-There is no Expert difficulty. Hard is as hard as it gets.
It should be worth noting that iPhones (not sure about iPods) can do a screen capture by pressing the main button and the sleep button simultaneously. Photo proof will not be an issue with this game. |

I believe the title is correct.
Thanks for the heads up on difficulty, I'll remove Expert. Unfortunately my phone can't get this game, so I'm fully reliant on second-hand information here.
EDIT: Done. _________________

iPods can also do this
Anyway, this is awesome news. _________________

Actually qirex just pointed out to me there are two different versions of the game, and with some setlist differences:
Rock Band iPhone
Rock Band Mobile
So i'll need to account for that somehow. Probably by adding 2 platforms, as I don't think this really warrants having 2 games in the list, and they seem very similar. _________________

A few things I found:
The DLC is being counted toward the, i guess you would call them "on disc" total score, and not just the songs it comes with.
for the iPhone version, lazy eye is not in the game, yet there is a place to input a score. (It might be DLC, i havent checked)
Ace of Spades is misspelled "Ace of Spaces" |

I have the iPod version, which is the same as the iPhone version and it does have Lazy Eye.
Yeah, I suck, leave me alone. _________________

I've fixed the spelling error and DLC should no longer count towards the overall totals.
And thanks to the confirmation of others I have not removed Lazy Eye. _________________

It's the strangest thing, why do I not have it? I can't think of a single reason why my version does not have Lazy eye. |

The link to the wiki page for the song is on the Manage Scores page, but the pages do not exist in the wiki. _________________
