Not too many DLC surprises in the next few weeks...

[Magnet]

Euro tracks, The Cars, and Disturbed for the next three weeks. And Doolittle is scheduled for June. If I'm not mistaken, that only leaves two weeks unaccounted for until July.

Are you glad to know so much about immediate future DLC or does this take some excitement out of it for the moment? Do you think these four releases will even happen as scheduled, or are we still in for some random schedule movements?

[TheKrazyKatzzz]

I'm not sure if the Disturbed tracks will be the only tracks that week. I was vaguely suspecting they'd be doing something like how they had the Motley Crue song the same week they had 3 other songs.

As for taking the excitement out... NOT AT ALL! I've been looking forward to Hysteria in the Euro tracks since the leaked list! And The Cars Full Album? On the contrary, this will be a very exciting few weeks for me! I hope they stick to the schedule, I know HMX has a history of mixing things up, but just this once I hope they stick to it.

[bmore007]

I've wanted Rock 'n' Roll Star, Hysteria and Beetlebum since the second I saw they were on that leaked list. Don't care about being surprised, I like having something like those songs to look forward too so I can just brush off weeks of DLC that I may not care about.

[ASPSAX]

Guys, remember what happened the last time we got a leaked schedule for DLC. I'm still waiting for Supernaut to come out. :mad:

[TheKrazyKatzzz]

It (Supernaut) was a cover, so... uh good luck with that.

[Samuel346]

Not too many DLC surprises in the next few weeks...

Wasn't the same claim made for March?:rolleyes:

[sillystou]

I don't think that we won't get any surprises. Quite the contrary.

[supersonic1414]

Expect something BIG the week of June 29 when GH Aerosmith comes out....Would not be surprised to see The Who catalog, Nevermind, or something equivalent...HMX will try and do something to offset it's release hype

[xxpigxx]

The difference is that this time it has been confirmed by HMX. ;)

I still think a surprise or two are in there somewhere

[litaljohn]

i dunno about some fo those, I can see other songs added as well. for example on the euro tracks, the songs were already made in advance for a while, since they are on the euro discs. so the only thing they are doing is waiting for the release to keep up a bit of buzz, I can see it almost added on to three others songs we get much as they did with the motley crue random 4th song one week. plus I dont want to hear little kids cry they have music in another language for dlc and the ungodly epic WTF's that will be spout out by wee tikes all day.... and then from that the mexico gamers will complain they have no dlc and then another crowd will come out and say that they will complain about complaining and then everyone else will chime if to complain that people complain about complaining, and then I usually get dizzy and black out....

so for my health, I pray it doesn't happen

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Did I mention wrong?

"Offsetting hype" by releasing DLC against a proper retail release with significant pre-orders is a great way to have the DLC completely swamped and forgotten about. While a top-tier DLC release will grab some ink in the gaming press, that's not a large segment of the buying public.

A great DLC release could possibly spark 50,000 to 100,000 sales in its first month out. GH: Aerosmith might be talking over 1,000,000 in sales in the same time frame. If one were to "compete", you compete retail against retail, online with online. Activision will just laugh at a DLC "counter", as well they should. Harmonix will just do what they do, and let the chips fall where they may. Besides, why bother stealing the thunder of a title that probably has massive numbers of preorders? A DLC "counter" would only possibly sway a) customers on the margin who b) already have Rock Band for the PS3/360. Not a wide swath, there.

I'd like to reiterate, however, that every time we thought we knew what the release schedule was, Harmonix made us look really, really foolish. We'll see on the next few weeks.

[Knights_of_Ni]

Well instead of The Cars album we'll get the entire Who catalouge and instead of the Euro tracks we'll get Muses Origin of Symmetry album and then we'll also get the entire System of a Down catalouge with the distrubed tracks. :D:D

[DrGonzo86]

The day the Euro stuff is available in America - what will us in Europe get?

Grrr. :D

[Hysteria]

The day the Euro stuff is available in America - what will us in Europe get?

Grrr. :D


You'll have 6 months worth of DLC to catch up on, assuming all the DLC available in States is made available to our Euro firends.

[Sarcasto]

The day the Euro stuff is available in America - what will us in Europe get?

Grrr. :D


The ability to buy all the DLC from America! :P

[Jaacar]

The day the Euro stuff is available in America - what will us in Europe get?

Grrr. :D

While I agree, the DLC for the next few weeks is pretty much mapped out, THIS is likely where we will get one of the 'surprises'. They'll probably release another track or two with the EU tracks so they'll have something new to DL as well.

[Electric_Zen]

Are you glad to know so much about immediate future DLC or does this take some excitement out of it for the moment?

I am excited every day about the upcoming Doolittle release. So no, it's much better knowing in advance that it's coming.

[Sveppi]

I'm just glad that I know that what's coming is awesome :)

[U2Phreak1969]

Guys, remember what happened the last time we got a leaked schedule for DLC. I'm still waiting for Supernaut to come out. :mad:

I was expecting that the week Boston was released. Still waiting here as well.

I'm hoping for something like Nirvana as well.

I've actually been asking (both on the forums and in communication with HMX directly) for some kind of schedule all along. It doesn't kill any of the excitement for me.

I actually think it helps the DLC cause. If people know what's coming, they can save accordingly and be ready to purchase the content. By making it a surprise every week, then whenever it's a "downer" for a lot of people, they go spend their money somewhere else. That then leaves them with nothing to buy the DLC the next week when it's "up" again.

We're in a pretty unstable time economically, so even people with a decent chunk of disposable income are being selective about what they buy...

I think HMX has shown that they aren't going to try to compete when there are other entertainment releases that will obviously trump them. I'm not talking about quality, I'm talking about popularity. I think it's fair to say that the release of Mother Hips when GTA4 was coming out was a very calculated business strategy. Why put out Led Zeppelin or Guns n Roses that week? People are spending their money on another game, so you need to wait until things calm back down. See my above comments about money/economics...

[Magnet]

I'm not convinced that we're going to get anything alongside the nine(?) European tracks. The OXM songs that had been long completed arrived by themselves - and there were only three of those.

Perhaps if there's some promotional type song (as in Saints of LA) there will be more than just the Euro tracks, but I wouldn't necessarily count on it.

[DrGonzo86]

I was joking in a way. I still find it quite amusing that EU exclusive tracks are being put up for DLC in the US anyway.

I have exams the week after Rock Band is out here anyhow. I'll need someone to tear me away from it literally.

I couldn't agree more! I'm sure HMX will stick to their SOP and that isn't a bad thing at all. Although, as RB fanatics I'm sure we're all hoping for some huge blockbuster release that week....but no more than we do every week.:D

This is exactly what I was saying to the folks who expected something HUGE the week of GTA IV, when really they should have been expecting the opposite. Granted, it wasn't so eloquent.

[Ae24KROMIUM]

I apologize in advance for my questions; however Where did HMX post the upcoming releases for the DLC? I would like to read it and/or check it out.

As for the question of knowing what DLC's are coming.. I like it! Still, I wish i know when that Nirvana album was coming out. That is the 'big' one that I have been waiting for. But the CARS album will suffice until then.

Thanks,

Mike

[Electric_Zen]

Where did HMX post the upcoming releases for the DLC?

During a press briefing, Harmonix announced that The Cars is arriving in May, and Doolittle is coming in June. One recap of that briefing can be found here:

http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/levelup/archive/2008/04/18/just-the-faqs-the-cars-and-the-pixies-coming-next-to-rock-band.aspx

Harmonix announced that the Disturbed tracks would be available on June 3rd here:

http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48694

Harmonix also announced that the EU disc-exclusive tracks would be available worldwide as DLC. To my knowledge they never specifically confirmed that this DLC would be released on May 27th to coincide with the EU launch, but it is by far the most likely scenario.

Unfortunately, I am too lazy to find all the sources but here in general is how people put together the release schedule.

1. The euro tracks were released at a European gaming trade show, I forget the name. They have been since confirmed by a number of gaming sites (through HMX or EA). HMX also confirmed the euro tracks would be available in the US around the same time. Since the game comes out soon (next week?), the assumption that weeks DLC is going to be the euro tracks.

2. The disturbed tracks come from a Best Buy preorder offer that gives the two tracks away. The new album is due at the end of the month. It is assumed that the DLC will be around the same time. Edit: June 3rd

3. The two album releases The Cars, and The Pixies were announced with the Judas Priest album, again the assumption is they are going to be released one a month. Edit: Sorry apparently it was confirmed.

I would say 1 and 2 are pretty solid, and 3 is a weak assumption (Edit:there was a confirmation for 3). But this is where all the talk of the upcoming lists are coming from. There are still songs from the March OXM list and the Hacked list that have not come out yet and people keep inserting them into the schedule too.

Edit: to fix some inaccuracies in confirmations I did not know about.

[HMXJohnlok]

Guys, remember what happened the last time we got a leaked schedule for DLC. I'm still waiting for Supernaut to come out. :mad:

The difference here is that The Cars and the EU tracks have, more or less, been confirmed.

[bood-boy]

HEIR KOMMT ALEX

i cant wait to sing in german.

best song in GH3 IMO

It's pretty much the best thing ever.

[litaljohn]

exactly there is a big difference between hmx saying something and somebody picking apart a track with file names on it.... actually Im really shocked that hmx hasnt just released random new titles into new song packs just to mess with the public.

"sonny and cher WTF?"
"the captain and tennille LEAKED!" :eek:

haha I know I'd have fun

[Jaacar]

When called to do so, you guys have rallied and harnessed that energy. I remember Apples organized a community "Thanks!" sheet while we were still in crunch for RB1.

So do we take this as a 'pretty much confirmed working on RB2'?

[fecaled]

HEIR KOMMT ALEX

i cant wait to sing in german.

best song in GH3 IMO
that song is so fun. i totally agree with you. i'm hella stoked to play this.

I'm looking forward to what HMX throws our way in the next few weeks.

would i mind if they gave us all the info up front as to the DLC? i would LOVE it.

[S1ckH4nds]

"the captain and tennille LEAKED!" :eek:
I heard Do That To Me One More Time is in the final stages of testing, and it's a brutal Tier 9 drums workout.

[Electric_Zen]

LOL, Busted!

[lpunderground19]

Sure, I like the surprise of getting home Friday and finding out what the songs are, but I'd rather know what the songs are ahead of time, and know I'm going to enjoy them. I need to get a few points cards for the next three weeks, I'll be spending them all (and still need to get that Muse GH pack)

words words words.......

I think that if the news were big enough, it would work. If they were to release Nevermind the week guitar hero Aerosmith comes out, I think that would steal the press from a guitar only game crammed full of dusty old Aerosmith Tracks, and I think sales would be through the roof.

[PacoL250]

Good point. NA release saw DLC available at launch.

So perhaps EU will get stuff and we will as well?

Right... countering "dusty old Aerosmith" (who is still touring) with an album by a band who dissolved when its lead singer blew his brains out (or did Courtney do it for him?) nearly fifteen years ago.

I can understand the thinking, I just still think it's a poor move likely to get lost in the shuffle, to say nothing of the fact that the line of reasoning is just comical there.

I think your fooling yourself if you believe ANY Aerosmith album would outsell Nevermind as DLC.

[killer_roach]

I think your fooling yourself if you believe ANY Aerosmith album would outsell Nevermind as DLC.

If it was a greatest hits album, I think you'd be surprised... although it would be close.

But this is a DLC album versus a retail game, not DLC versus DLC... in which case I think Nevermind would get absolutely thumped.

[greg639hutch]

I don't see what the hype is about GH: Aerosmith...

Aerosmith isn't even a great rock band, "Dream On" is their only good song.

and Nirvana has more hits than them in such a smaller time frame.

I've just never grown to like them at all...

Again, just my opinion.

[killer_roach]

Aerosmith had 21 singles hit the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100, including nine top 10s and one #1, ranging in a span of 33 years (1973-2006).

Nirvana only released eighteen singles in total, of which only two (Come As You Are and Smells Like Teen Spirit) made the top 40. Of them, only Smells Like Teen Spirit hit the top ten, peaking at #6. Their two Top 40 singles were a year apart, although their overall release schedule spanned fourteen years (1988-2002, three of those singles came out after Cobain's death).

Try again. :)

[greg639hutch]

lol, I was waiting for that.

but do you honestly like them? do you enjoy listening to them?

i just can't. To me they are just so horrible..

[killer_roach]

Some of their stuff is pretty good... to be honest, most of Nirvana's music is just wholly depressing. I have my favorites of Nirvana, sure (Come As You Are, You Know You're Right, In Bloom, Smells Like Teen Spirit, Heart-Shaped Box, The Man Who Sold The World), but, band against band, I'd still give an edge to Aerosmith (Dream On, Same Old Song and Dance, Real Emotion, Walk This Way, Last Child, Back In The Saddle, Dude (Looks Like A Lady), Love In An Elevator, Janie's Got A Gun, Crazy, I Don't Want To Miss A Thing, Jaded, Just Push Play, Girls Of Summer, Devil's Got A New Disguise).

Agreed. Nirvana was cool when i was 14. Now, they are just something i wont change the radio for. Aerosmith though is pretty cool. Nothing i would spend cash on, but my Zune marketplace pass would allow me to DL them, and im alright with that.

What? Nothing from Nine Lives? ;)

[ogmccart]

Its not really as exciting as it was waiting and waiting to be let down. but honestly when gh: aerosmith comes out it would make perfect sense to release Who's next because if you think about it on both gh3 and rock band was a who song and an aerosmith song. On gh3 the who was a cover, and rock band it was a master. the exact opposite for the aerosmith songs. So gh has the masters of aerosmith, and rock band has the masters of the who. So put them out the same week. I personally love the who a lot more then aerosmith. Here me HMX DO IT. DO IT. DO IT.

[Ae24KROMIUM]

Although I would buy singles (DLC's) from both Aerosmith and Nirvana...

I would much rather have the Nirvana. If/when, they release the Nevermind album; my prediction is that it will set-the-mark on which all other album downloads will be measured.

Even when I listen to the 'end of year' Radio Shows who play the all time greatest albums; Nirvana's nevermind always ends up in the Top Spot.

It is not about the 'great music' that Nirvana made (although I agrue that they have some really great music); it is about the 'great impact' that Nevermind had on ROCK as a whole. The grunge scene (led by Nirvana) pushed away 'bad rock' and the 'hairband' era.

I am 38 years old.. and a huge Classic Rock fan! And still, I can't wait for the Nevermind album. It is truly one of my favorites of all time.

Thanks,

Mike

[supersonic1414]

I said this back in January and got flamed, but I still believe it...

HMX has lots of great stuff on it's agenda and they will start releasing the bigger stuff when the competition is releasing new titles (GH Aerosmith, GH IV, etc). Whether they are doing a RB 2 or expansion for the holiday remains to be seen and I am sure we will have more info on what they are planning come E3..

But I bet we get Nevermind, the Who project, and other highly desired bands from late June through the end of the year......Most of the stuff released so far was done when Rockband was first released.......If you think about it, there is not a really good business reason to release the highly anticipated DLC until the initial Rock Band buzz has started to slow (which appears to be right about now based on the last few DLC week #'s). It makes more business sense to release it to steal some of the hype from Activisions many many sequels they release.....

So stay tuned for late June onward... I bet people won't ***** AS MUCH....I do know some people on this board would still complain if GNR Appetite was released, and they did not get a free download to include the first single off of Axl's bloated Chinese Democracy...

[SmashMan]

lol, I was waiting for that.

but do you honestly like them? do you enjoy listening to them?

i just can't. To me they are just so horrible..

You were waiting for someone to reply to you using actual facts to totally obliterate your statement? Why even make it to begin with? :confused:

I personally love Aerosmith, and wet several pairs of pants when the GH game was confirmed. I'm probably one of the only people who wouldn't have minded if the game was entirely Aerosmith. For variety's sake, I don't mind that there are other bands' songs in the game, but I can't wait to play some Aerosmith.

Obviously I was actually hoping for some Aerosmith on Rock Band, but this is the second-best option.

[DarkJ3JB]

Expect something BIG the week of June 29 when GH Aerosmith comes out....Would not be surprised to see The Who catalog, Nevermind, or something equivalent...HMX will try and do something to offset it's release hype

I agree there! As for excitmemnt I'm always happy to hear about it.

[skimpy]

with the recent songs that have come out for RB,it really seems that HMX dosent listen to its fans.. with the blondie, clash, and Sonic youth songs that have come out for download it really seems to me that HMX is listening more to thier girlfriends or wives more than us the fans!! Now if im wrong,then i want someone from HMX to let me know why im wrong,not just to say that i am,but let me know why!! Like saying that "This amount of people have requested it" or "this is how we come to say whats gonna be available". now i've been checking out the forums alot,maybe not posting as much,but just to see what people are requesting,and these past couple of weeks just havent been it... so if im wrong HMX let me know,cause it really does seem that your not listening to our requests...

[zugthug909]

[ThePaska]

If I have learned anything from the past weeks of DLC it is that nothing is set in stone, and there have almost always been surprises. They have not always been good, at least in the general opinion, but I always look forward to the next announcement, cause, you never know...

[SKooT182]

am i the only one that thinks the euro tracks should be free?

Yes.

Why should they be free?

[Fred G. Sanford]

am i the only one that thinks the euro tracks should be free?

No,i think they should ,they might as well be i foresee them selling badly considering some of the damn songs arent even in english,who was the mastermind behind this bright idea? His job should be on the line,only song i wanna hear thats not in english is La Bamba damn it!!

This is a video game ,im trying to relax and have fun,not learn a foreign language,anybody who does vocals gets screwed with this pack.

[DeadManDrumming]

I disagree, IMO it would rock singing out to a language you have no clue how to speak. Its a party thing mainly from the way I look at it. I don't want to download a GERMAN song in ENGLISH, because then I might as well wait for the who or some other English band. BTW aren't their 3 or so English songs on the pack anyway?

[supersonic1414]

It's less than $2 a song you cheap bastards....The Europe people get something extra since they had to wait 6 months to get the game.....Come on...

[Jimmik]

I'm just glad that I know that what's coming is awesome :)

My thoughts exactly. The Cars? Beetlebum? Pixies? Hells yeah!

[metalfenix]

This is a video game ,im trying to relax and have fun,not learn a foreign language,anybody who does vocals gets screwed with this pack.

Well, if you see at my location, you''ll realize that english IS NOT my mother language, even though I am a hard/expert vocalist right now (well, I must admit that a I like english). Maybe you should ask this question to the latin americans or europeans who imported this game, and you'll get similar responses like mine. I don't have ANYTHING AGANIST songs in foreign languages, for me, is a fun way to understand (a bit) new languages. And by the way, just look the french portion of the "Call me" song and ask the singers if they failed it, I think that nobody has failed that sector even in expert. And if everything fails, humming is your friend :D .

So, for me, they are worth their price. HMX spent their time getting the masters, getting the separate tracks, mapping them for all the 4 instruments, etc...so I will gladly pay the price for the EU tracks I like.

[czek1976]

the german songs are FANTASTIC. I just listened to them on youtube and "Hier kommt alex" and "die perfekte welle" are two awesome songs. Try them!!! They might just be the best DLC songs so far! I would even pay $10 to get them!

Why should they be free anyway? Just give it a shot to sing in a foreign language. You might not pronounce everything correctly and you certainly won't understand anything but its very exciting!
