View Full Version : Rock Band Unlockables?

One of the most entertaining features in the guitar hero series is "the store". As you progress through your career, it's entertaining to build up a bankroll and purchase all the songs, guitars, and accessories in your collection. Sure, most of the unlockables are fluff, but fluff is fun!
Although it's obviously too early to speculate on all the features of rock band, I had to wonder if "the store" will be making a re-appearance and if so, what unlockable fun things would you like to see? A few items which I thought of:
A Buckethead-themed character model
A "hellish" guitar model with animated flames coming off of the strings.
An unlockable venue which is unique, like Stonehenge from GH2.
More "behind the scenes" videos and concept art.
I also think it would be fun to see the concept of unlockables expanded. Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance introduced "the krypt" which was an elaborate unlock store of over 700 items. Many of the unlocks were nothing more than concept art and videos, but they were interesting and fun to collect. I think it adds a lot of replay value having additional content to discover.

Harmonix's previous games are already the most replayable titles in my games library, but I will never EEEEVER! complain about more unlockables.
Seconded a Buckethead character :P

Speaking of Buckethead, Nottingham Lace in the game would make me cream my pants.

I am sincerely glad that your pants will not be part of the unlockable item list.

After reading all the blog posts on the front page, I think the game needs a character modeled after a zombie. I suggest an unlockable zombie charcacter modeled after an unearthed corpse with flies floating around him. He could even mumble "braaains" before a set starts. With multiplayer we can finally live out our childhood dreams of forming an all-undead musical group.
Character Bio: Stinkenstein - Death can't keep this guy from rockin' the house. He'll rock you to the grave and back again. His fans' chant of "you stink" has become his personal motto on the road to rock and roll immortality.
Favorite Food: Braaains!
Favorite Song: Monster Mash

Behind the scenes videos would be awesome.... As long as they include it in the PAL release unlike last time *pout*

If you've been reading all the rock blogs you'll know that a whole bunch of the Harmonix team are all awesome with the best sense of humour possible. So much so it's kinda weird. Anyway, there is no way Behind the Scenes wouldn't rock something crazy, I think I'm going to be kinda disappointed if there's none in there.

A Roland AX-7 Keytar would be a cool unlockalbe for Rock Band or a GH game.

I'd prefer Soothsayer. :P
I don't see why everyone loves Nottingham Lace...

I'm sure as hell not knocking Soothsayer, but I usually prefer heavier music.
