I hope there are thousands of others like me feeling as ripped off--I know it's a few months away and I pray to the game deities that Harmonix kicks the idiots out of their staff and decides to actually -work- on Rock Band for the Wii a bit more instead of pissing in the snow and calling it avant garde.

Screw your lame ass PS2 port.

No DLC? Understandable and I could live with that.
No online? Again, understandable and I can live with it.

NO create a character?...Why would you take away something so fulfilling? But I guess I can survive.

NO GHIII compatability?!?! That's the deal breaker. I absolutely mega-loathe the guitar controller that ships with Rock Band:: The pick is horrible, those five bottom fret buttons are stupid, and it just looks utterly lame compared to the Wii Les Paul which I think both aesthetically and functionally, rock.

I don't care about Nintendo's idiot problems--they're mostly likely working on having everything up to par with the 360 and Ps3 but the time you're all playing Gears of War 15 on your Microsoft Brain chip.

Get your act together, Harmonix. The Wii owners can only take so many weak sauce ports from lazy developers like yourself.

Damn Nintendo for not making their system up to par with 360/PS3,Activision for the no GH 3 guitar compatibilty and yourself for not buying an actual next-gen system and expecting it to be on par with the others. Don't blame Harmonix.

QFT im sure HMX did all they can do for the wii game its just that the wii is VERY limited...

I am also very disappointed that HMX is downgrading the Wii version even though I already have it for the PS3.

Truly, the only way to show your displeasure with the game is to not buy it and to tell everyone you know with a Wii not to buy it.

Ninendo will take as many PS2 ports that they like. Only the management team say enough is enough. Until that you will see it happen.

Would you rather have this or no rockband at all? There are many countries/continents waiting for this game to release and yet NA has seen it release on all three this gen's consoles (and 1 last gen). Yet they are starved dry.

Suppossedly there is a massive (or was) peripheral shortage and faulty instruments shipped yet; you can has new white one?

Don't worry about what isn't there, worry about having it at all, I do have it and it is my 3rd most played game, but I would like to see all those white drumsets turned "back 2 black" so that the rest of the world could enjoy what is Rockband. The more exposure it gets the better it means to us for DLC.

There is an unlimited amount of potential for this and the more widespread it becomes the more we help oursleves and everyone else.

If you feel like you are getting gypped then go buy a "full version" of this game. Whether it be on the WII60 or the PSWII.

It's not the consumers job to care.

The average guy isn't gonna know this is cause of Activision, much less care. He's gonna get Rock Band, think his GH guitar's gonna work, and then it won't. And he's gonna be upset at the makers of Rock Band, naturally, for not ensuring it's compatibility.

It's not right, no, but it's completely understandable.

The Wii has been seriously hurt (as has the PS3, to a lesser extent) by Sony's failure to discontinue the PS2.

Virtually all accounts place the Wii as substantially more powerful than a PS2. Unfortunately, developers don't want to create three vastly different versions of every multi-platform game they release. As a result, they make a "good" version that requires the power of a Xbox360/PS3 and a "bad" version that runs on a PS2 and wastes half of the Wii's capabilities.

Without the PS2, Wii versions of multi-platform games would be much better than they are (but still not quite as good as Xbox360/PS3 versions).

Okay, you were looking good up until there. You are correct that it is not right, you are wrong that it is perfectly understandable. It was perfectly understandable for about a week or two after the game shipped that EVERYONE who bought it launch day or close thereafter was pissed at Harmonix. We didn't know the story or what was going on at all. Then info slowly started to leak out and we directed our ire appropriately.

It is now nearly SIX months later. People have NO excuse to be ill-informed before they purchase the game that the capability for the GH3 guitar to work has been all but scrapped and it's not entirely Harmonix's fault. It is VERY common knowledge and people's ignorance to it's fact is their OWN damn fault at this point.

And since this is a Wii thread, obligatory buy a real system comment.

Same thing I tell every Wii and PS2 user who complain about games like this.

From a hardware perspective you do NOT have a next gen console. Stop expecting to be able to play next-gen games at the same level as the rest of us. Be happy you're getting anything!

If you wanted to play the next-gen games at full capacity the way they were meant to, you should have bought an xbox (or even a PS3 *shudder*).

Harmonix is not to blame. You are, for not buying a proper Next Gen console. Activision is too, for being *****s about their guitars. They only work on 360 because Microsoft has standards for controllers, and Harmonix chooses not to blcok other peripherals.

Prove please. The PS2 is not the Wii.

HMX is bringing this on themselves by porting over a sub-par copy when the Wii is actually capable of much more than they're willing to program for. In short, they're lazy. It's the same reason why they didn't program for voice chat on the PS3 version. It's the same reason for all of the equipment failures. It's the same reason why the recent patch does not work or actually breaks calibrations. It's the same reason why the 360 has wired guitars. I could go on and on, but I hope you're getting the point.

They're out to make a quick buck w/o doing all of the work necessary to actually earn that buck.

litaljohn
03-27-2008, 12:11 AM
I am also very disappointed that HMX is downgrading the Wii version


they can't really downgrade the Wii version. For that to be the case, the Wii would already need to have a Rock Band Game and then take away features from it. The Wii has no Rock Band hence anything put out for the Wii would have to be an upgrade.

Will it have as many features as a more expensive system's game of Rock Band. No, but if people had to have more features and more abilities, they should have purchased a system that could handle such a load. In the end the consumer paid less and as a result the features for a game will not live up to another console, but it is the case for all games, not simply Rock Band. (just about every shooting game come to mind)
If people want to give HMX crap about it I expect to hear kids cry over every single third party game released for the Wii, because they are all sub par in comparison to the big boys, not only are they usually released later, but with shoddy work that looks even worse thanks to the big brother being on top of the hill for a while on PS3 and 360.

much of your argument is flawed. For one the new calibration was changed, but it is not broken, merely shifted. For some the new calibration will work better, for others much worse. I actually improved my scores tremendously after the patch.

The reason the 360 has wired controllers has nothing to do with HMX. MS puts out restrictions on what you can have as wireless and what you cant. There was a reason for a long LONG time they were the only wireless on the system and why they were the only wireless mic and steering wheel as well.

Every Wii game is watered down in comparison to another next gen console. It would seem that you would then be only person who knows what it can be programmed to do, since nobody else has mastered it

so you could go on and on, but it would be a lot of hot air......

I own a Wii and a 360. I own Rock Band for the 360 and as such really have no interest in the Wii version. I am not affected by its lack of features. I fully understand, though, why it would have no online play or dlc. However, there is no excuse for not letting Wii owners create a character. The Wii could easily handle the bare bones create a character that is present in the next gen versions.

I love how you shoot off topic in just about every thread. Anytime someone related the Wii's ability to other consoles. you always jump in that your computer is better then the ps3, or 360 despite that fact that the topic deals with the Wii, not computer vs. ps3.

Well I didn't buy my Wii to be more powerful than a PS3. I bought it because I like the game library. The reason I play games is because I have play many types and have found some that I have liked. They just so happen to be on Wii. Am I really gonna pay $480 - $610 just to play Rock Band. And no I doubt I'll buy any other games for PS3 or 360. My to buy list is long enough as it is.

DarkEternal37
03-27-2008, 12:40 AM
And there's your choice of preference. I haven't bought anything for the Wii since Galaxy and I didn't buy much before that either. To each his own of course. However, it is no secret that the choice of gamers (I mean REAL gamers not the "i like to play games every once in a while in a casual setting type) is the 360 and then after that the PS3.

So again, I say that since you are too lazy or unwilling to shell out the "480-610" just to play Rock Band, why should Harmonix be willing to shell out whatever the hell it would need to make their awesome game more than capable on your inferior system?

I'm sorry I didn't go out and by a crappy 360 whose gaming base consists of a multitude of titles all following one or all of the following concepts:

-Aliens
-Military
-Aliens vs. Military
-Futuristic/Space

Rock Band isn't so wonderful that I'd sell my soul to go out and buy a 360 and get RROD 90 times. My complaint is the fact, "Why bother porting it at all?" I'd honestly rather NOT have any version of it on the Wii if it can't be something worth having on the system. All of you people saying "You get what you pay for" or "Wii isn't next gen," "insert lame, uneducated comment here"--to you I say:

Look at what YOU bought. Yeah, 360 has "pretty graphics" but who cares? Yeah you have a lot of games but generally speaking, they're all carbon copies; Gears of War, Lost Planet, Halo,...are you starting to see a trend? And to top that off, you get these WONDERFUL systems launch day and oh...wait...none of them work! Poop on you. I'd rather have an excellently functioning system with some good games than having to send my console back to be repaired a week after I bought it. I mean honestly, wtf cares about being able to see your character's breath? It's not like Rock Band is required to have stellar graphics. My point is that nothing about Rock Band aside from perhaps the Online play and DLC is beyond the Wii's capabilities. If its the graphics? Scrap 'em. I could give two ****s if my bassist has dimples. Honestly.



However, it is no secret that the choice of gamers (I mean REAL gamers not the "i like to play games every once in a while in a casual setting type) is the 360 and then after that the PS3.- Darketernal37

You mean 12 year olds who do nothing but play Halo 2 on Live all day and trash talk like they're 15? Gimme a break, nub.


So again, I say that since you are too lazy or unwilling to shell out the "480-610" just to play Rock Band, why should Harmonix be willing to shell out whatever the hell it would need to make their awesome game more than capable on your inferior system?- Darketernal37

WOW. Lazy to spend money? No it's called be not a ******. And it's certainly not how it works. I'm sure your parents weren't willing to shell out the half grand on a system, and it certainly wasn't because they were "lazy".

I am shocked that Wii owners feel that they are owed a fully comparable Rock Band. You bought your Wii because you like swinging a remote at your tv screen playing tennis while staring at original nintendo's graphics. :)

I don't knock the Wii, I have one and love playing that original nintendo graphics tennis game...its fun as hell. BUT I am realistic. I didn't buy the Wii as a "next generation" system...far from it. I bought it to bowl infront of my tv with friends on a friday night. :D When I want to enjoy the full benifits of all the next generation games on a true gaming system...I power up the 360.

So I've read the entire thread...it was a laugh, but I needed to respond to some points:


And everyone out there complaining about the Wii version of RB is lazy for not upgrading to a real Current Gen system. You're expecting them to work for you when you won't work for a real system. They hypocrisy runs deep here.

You're an idiot. Has it ever occured to you that maybe not everyone can actually afford a 360 or a PS3? I've recently got married, I'm paying rent and saving up to buy a house...I'm obviously not swimming in cash like you are.


The reason the 360 has wired controllers has nothing to do with HMX. MS puts out restrictions on what you can have as wireless and what you cant.

So that's why the 360 version of Guitar Hero 3 has a wired guitar? Oh wait...no it doesn't. It's wireless. And it was released well before Rock Band.


why should Harmonix be willing to shell out whatever the hell it would need to make their awesome game more than capable on your inferior system?

Harmonix doesn't need to "shell out" anything to make the game. They are being paid by EA.


The Wii isn't THAT MUCH greater than the PS2 in terms of power.

Ummm, yes it is. The Wii is four times more powerful than the Gamecube which was already significantly more powerful than the PS2. You don't think it deserves better than crappy PS2 ports?


to all you wii users, you have 729 mhz of processing power. the 360 has 3.2 ghz, and the ps3 has close to 4 ghz, so i'm sorry to say nut stop whining, there is no way the wii can compete and play the same games as the ps3 and 360.

You don't need extra processing power to add in a character creator, the band world tour mode or downloadable content. No-one here is asking for the visuals to be the same as the PS3 or 360 versions. They are just asking for a couple of features, which are perfectly reasonable requests that can be done to work on the Wii, be added into the game.

As far as the character creator is concerned...they are really dropping the ball here. I mean they've got options like integrating Mii support into the game, which would be totally awesome, but they are just taking the easy way out.


However, it is no secret that the choice of gamers (I mean REAL gamers not the "i like to play games every once in a while in a casual setting type) is the 360 and then after that the PS3.

You're an idiot...again. I've been playing games for 22+ years (almost as long or longer than you've even been alive, I'd wager). I'm quite hardcore when it comes to games - I even make games for a living. I've got a Wii because I wanted something different. I didn't want to play the same games as last generation with prettier graphics. I wanted something innovative.


you get what you pay for, that's it

Not really. When we bought the Wii, we didn't pay for the opportunity to play a dumbed-down version of Rock Band with features removed that could easily have worked on the Wii. Again, no-one's asking for the game to be identical to the 360 and PS3 versions. We're just asking for features that will work on the Wii to be retained - including support for the GH3 guitar.

Whether its for the wii or ps2, or whatever. Rock Band killed its own game

Basically what was released for ps2 and gonna be released for Wii is Guitar hero, with drums. Thats it. So the point of buying rock band on the wii, is for a few new songs u havent played before on gh3, and u get to beat afew sticks on some pads.

Whether wii owners should buy a next-gen console or not, isnt the case. They could implement online play
they can implement Character creations
they can make a deal with activision over the guitars
they can allow band world tours in the game

THey killed the game. Would u buy it if all those features were gone? Seriously, the game isn't what it is intended to be. Wii cant handle DLC, thats it. Everything else should be included. No way a normal person would spend $160 for guitar hero with drums. Because basically, that is all it is. A new playlist and a new instrument.

Even that's debatable now with the release of WiiWare already in Japan and coming up in a month or so to everyone else. And even without WiiWare, it looks like Activision's working on ways to offer DLC in the next Guitar Hero game, so it can definitely be done.

Basically what was released for ps2 and gonna be released for Wii is Guitar hero, with drums. Thats it.

Whether wii owners should buy a next-gen console or not, isnt the case. They could implement online play
they can implement Character creations
they can make a deal with activision over the guitars
they can allow band world tours in the game



1. You forgot Singing

2. Is there any reason the PS2 version "couldn't handle" all of those features you mentioned besides Online Play and the guitars?

I'm sorry I didn't go out and by a crappy 360 whose gaming base consists of a multitude of titles all following one or all of the following concepts:

-Aliens
-Military
-Aliens vs. Military
-Futuristic/Space


Im sorry you tried to start a crappy console War =(

Okay, you were looking good up until there. You are correct that it is not right, you are wrong that it is perfectly understandable. It was perfectly understandable for about a week or two after the game shipped that EVERYONE who bought it launch day or close thereafter was pissed at Harmonix. We didn't know the story or what was going on at all. Then info slowly started to leak out and we directed our ire appropriately.

When something's not right, and when everyone else does it the right way, then yes the assumption is still understandable.

I can buy any game bundled with any joystick, and that joystick will work with any other game. It's always been that way, and I would hope that it will always be that way.

Don't get the wrong idea; I get as frustrated as the next person when people make purchases these days without doing their homework. There's no excuse for it.

This is different though, because it breaks a trend that's existed for how long? A couple of decades? People aren't going to know because they're not thinking to look, and how you can honestly blame them for that beats me. It's a bit too cold for my liking.


It is now nearly SIX months later. People have NO excuse to be ill-informed before they purchase the game that the capability for the GH3 guitar to work has been all but scrapped and it's not entirely Harmonix's fault. It is VERY common knowledge and people's ignorance to it's fact is their OWN damn fault at this point.

We're talking about Wii Rock Band mate. It's not even out yet.
