Rock Band (Series) |OT| Welcome Home
- Thread starter MrNelson
- Start date
Yeah, I just bought it. I went to new releases in the store and it should be on the top of the list.
Song pass for season 2 was pretty good. A few stemless songs but they were still pretty much all songs that I wanted. Season 3 pass looking good so far.
I wonder if Harmonix would try to get Floyd in via the A7X cover

Like it technically gets it into the game, it's a solid cover.. but man.. they might have a riot

Woo! RockERA yeah!
They would still have to get some kind of okay from Pink Floyd's lawyers to sell the cover though.
Of course, but sometimes a band will let covers of their songs by another band but not their own. Music industry is weird.
We're so close, on all of the platforms, to get all of our old dlc back.
Obviously Xbox just has a few more left, but hopefully this shit can get finished soon.

Man, we're still missing stuff here in SCEA.
Biggest one for me right now is Sort Of.
Wanting to try out Rock Band 4 on PS4 now that I've read Harmonix has updated the game to include more modes and a new expansion. Wondering how people feel about the game as it stands now vs launch and what is the best way to get a band kit on ps4? Im guessing I should avoid getting a used kit.

Rock Band 4 as it stands now is definitely much better than it was at launch, especially with the expansion. I definitely feel it is worth the money now for anyone that was sitting on the fence when it originally came out.
As far as gear, there are a few ways you can do it, but they all have their pros and cons.
You could go with one of the new Rivals bundles, which will get you the game and expansion, plus whatever instruments come with the bundle you get. These instruments were made by PDP. I've heard ok things about the guitar that comes with the bundles, but the drums I've heard are a crapshoot. Some people get good kits, and others get ones with issues like cross-talk (hit one pad and another will trigger with it) and registering double hits.
You could also try tracking down one of the base Rock Band 4 kits, which I still see from time to time in stores. These come with instruments made by Madcatz, and these I can personally vouch for. The guitar that comes with it is the best Rock Band guitar I've used, but I still prefer using my Guitar Hero 5 controller over it. The drums are good too, but they do have an issue with a roll limit which you will not impact you unless you're trying to get 100% on 5 and devil tier songs, which at that point you may be better off investing in an e-kit. Mind you I say all this as someone that mainly plays expert drums with these. Biggest downside is that you'll have to shell out another $30 for the expansion since these predate it.
Used gear is at your own discretion. If you can find a guitar or drum set that looks to be in good shape and has all the pieces (receivers, etc), then go for it. It might be a bit hard finding ones in the condition you want, and the price may be a bit steep though, but all of that is up to you.
Pretty much what MrNelson said.
The game has come along way since launch, and the only things the game still needs is bass boost, a deeper character creator, effects switch, vfx and online matchmaking which they'll have a server browser coming in a few months.
The drums are a hit and miss. PDP is great with rolls, but crosstalk happens quite often and the Mad Catz kit is pretty much the opposite. Both aren't great, but if you play on Hard or lower it'll be fine.
The Jaguar and Strat are both pretty good, but I prefer the latter.
Yeah I was thinking about making a 10 year anniversary RB thread. Just have people share their RB stories, good or bad.
They started making them again. Still available on PDP's website.

Thank you! This makes me really happy and excited to get back into the game. I already bought RB4 and Rivals, imported all my songs from the other games (I was really into this series), and with the adapter, I'll be set.
I imagine if they are they're gonna wait for the X to come out so they can do both platforms at once.
I'd love that! Rock Band is the only game I ever camped outside the store for.
Just got here, and happy to see a lot of familiar faces. Especially Juke with the clutch DLC reviews.
Looking forward to this Rivals season, think I'm going to gamble again on the season pass.

Exactly! That's the one I'm missing and I'm surely not alone. But any song from an unavailable export is better then those from the one that's still available.
Hi everyone. :)
I love RB so much. But -- and this is kind of weird/not the norm? -- the only one I own is RB3, because (gulp) I bought it for Wii back in 2010, and spent a LOT of money on downloadable songs in the years after. So I've never migrated since I pretty much could not (this is correct, right? The Wii was a dead end for purchased RB DLC?).
ANYWAY, I still play this sort glitchy, ugly version of RB3 to this day, seven years later. Maybe one of these days I'll finally get RB4... maybe.

digital copy of the game is on sale on psn right now for 23 bucks
thats not a bad price to pay to stop having to change discs anytime I want to just play a song or two

You'd still have to buy the instruments, though, but I hear the bundles are getting pretty cheap.
I wish the damn XBL version would go on sale for that much. I hate switching discs and don't want to pay for Rivals twice.
as much as it feels recent, you have to remember RB3 rewinds are for a game that came out 7 years ago as of a couple days ago.
More time has passed between RB3's release and now than the time between FreQuency and Rock Band 1.

So with the game being on sale for PS4 I'm probably going to buy it but I still need to buy a guitar.
What guitar does everyone have?
More specifically, does anyone own this one?
Rock Band Fender Jaguar Guitar Controller for PlayStation 4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I71VETY/?tag=era0f0-20
That's the one I've been thinking about getting due to price and relatively good reviews.
