Anybody else not care what songs are on RB2 and is just glad HMX announced RB2 so we don't have to suffer through GH4?? Am I along one this or do you agree with me?

I forgot, I started this thread as a positive thread towards HMX so we don't have all the bashing of a company we love because some loser is upset cause this song or that song is not on RB.

I don't, but that's because I know RB2 will have a wide ass range as to include something of everything.
Now, If I heard that RB2 would be all tracks from Tiffany and Debbie Gibson, I'd have to pass.

i agree, while there are many good songs that are going to be featured in gh:wt.. I rented GH:A this week , beat it on expert, but the only 2 high points of that game were The Cult, and King of Rock by Run DMC, thats it. the charts are off, the circle notes are to spread apart , it just feels, like a video game. and no matter how many great songs GH has in their games they will always play and feel like a vid game. now HMX has the touch to making those colors and plastic , feel like a music experience instead of a bunch of off beat button mashing. I was almost on the fence about getting GH:WT untill I played GH:A and realized now matter how many good songs make it GH, they are unable to capture the feeling and style of music like HMX can.

I agree with you. RB2 will have a good song list no matter what so I don't care in that regard, and that is what I really should have said, so that's why I don't care.

How true that is my friend, I rented GH3 and wow it is like you said, it feels like a video game, RB feels like you are playing an instrument.

Well we all know RB2 is going to have a great setlist, but yes Idc either. Harmonix is the better company

What songs are in RB2 should be of little concern. Everytime anyone talks about rhythm games, it should be obvious how much great music there is available to choose from and Harmonix has never failed to put together interesting, eclectic selections that any music fan can enjoy. Even if we never get Zeppelin, the Beatles, Floyd, etc. it should be obvious that there is more than enough great music to go around ... those bands would just be gravy!
I want to wait to find out the songs when I play the game this time, I feel like it'll be an awesome surprise, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to wait, with the PS3 not even having a release date
Dzhokhar
07-03-2008, 11:49 PM
I certainly care a lot. As a somewhat disgruntled PS3 owner, the song list could very well make the difference between getting Rock Band 2 or not.
I don't care about any of the rumors or speculation though.
Snowman-1771

I'm a PS3 user too, but I think that RB2 will have a great setlist so I will buy RB2 no matter what.

While the announcement of RB2 was great, I also don't want lesser known stuff that people wouldn't care to play at a party given to us. We need the heavy hitters and if the rumored 60 song setlist is true, then it's nowhere near as good as what they gave us in RB1, IMHO.
ForgottenHero
07-06-2008, 01:19 PM
It's not that I don't care, it's just that I'm not worried about it. I'm sure HMX will pick a great setlist with a great variety of songs.
rocknrolxdx
07-06-2008, 01:26 PM
I just want songs that all don't sound the same or similar to any point. I think Rock Band 1 did a very good job of that, I mean if you listen to the GH songs they're mostly classic rock and song similar to some point, which is boring to play. I'm also hopping we don't get a lot of stuff from genres that arn't as popular, i.e. country or rap/R&B. (Note: When I say popular, I mean in comparison to someone who listens to Rock music or it's subgenres.)

Exactly. Neither company is going to put out a stinker of a set-list at this point. Sure, there may be songs I don't like, but overall I can't imagine it being anything less than great. Granted, if the leak-factory is getting this one right, IMO it will be a lot more than great.

I agree,hopefully they've learned from all the complaining that went on about the songs in RB1,if not then im still up in the air about buying RB2 because from what i've seen on the leaked setlist for RB2 its making me think i wont be purchasing it.I see a few big bands on there with their lesser known hits and way to much music from nobodys as well.

It may be a bit early in the game atm since there is almost no info on RB2, but according to Gamespot based on their showing they got of rb2, it was more like rock band 1.5
if it's just a big song pack with minor improvements it's hardly a sequel imo.
still waiting to see what the big special additions are though... Im hoping it's worthy of calling it a sequel and it wasn't a bunch of stuff that could have been patched into rb1.
excited, but a little skeptical after that... still hopeful though :)
Johnny Dynamite
07-06-2008, 02:51 PM
Im skeptical as well, if its just a repeat of RB1 with some "patches" then im not buying it at all.If the rumored track listing holds true as well, HMX will lose my business.
I can see a developers meeting at HMX's trying to decide what songs to put in the game, they're *****ing back and forth as to what THEY want to play in the game, not thinking of what the customers want.It's obvious by the medicore leaked track list that this game called RB2 probably wont sell as hot as they think it will.RB2 needs more Metal, more music from today, more females like heart, more 80's hairbands, enough of the 70's classic rock and unknown bands off myspace.HMX you have the chance to make this game a must have but so far you give me no reason to absolutely have to pick up this game.

exactly. and thats music to my ears.:D
i really want RB2, and after seeing that song list, i want it even more. a lot of people like it, and a lot of people don't.
i know about 30 or so songs on that "RUMORED" list. and thats a good thing.
but lets just wait until E3, shall we?

07-06-2008, 03:18 PM
Personally, I'll only get Rock Band 2 if it has a killer songlist on disc or has a lot of great new features (online Band World Tour). Otherwise I'll stick with RB 1 and just buy DLC.
BigMonkE
07-06-2008, 03:19 PM
I hope that the leaked setlist is fake, or that they add a remove song option. Because there are some songs on that list I want to play from that list, but MANY, MANY that I don't.
defenestrater
07-06-2008, 03:22 PM
I'm not worried about it. One thing Rock Band and the various dlc has taught me is that I don't have to enjoy listening to a band in order to enjoy playing that band's songs. Beyond that, HMX has shown with the set list for the original disc and with their dlc that they're pretty committed to packing the game with a variety of music, which is what matters to me. I don't care if we never have Led Zeppelin or the Beatles or Pink Floyd or Guns & Roses or any other specific act. I care about having lots and lots of different kind of stuff to play.

I for one don't give a rats furry butt about what is on RB2, I'm for sure buying it. For me personally this is one of the greatest games I have ever played, and I have no problem plunking down my hard earned money to buy something that brings such fine enjoyment. While it is impossible to put together a song list that will please everyone, if even half of the rumored list is true that it will be fun to play.

talk about complaining...
geez.
1. the classic rock people would be loving this setlist, even without acdc/led zep
2. lots of 80s cheese, so people would be happier there
3. they actually put some punk in this one
4. grunge/90s is well represented
5. metal selection is good. megadeth/system of a down/testament. i love metal, but metal should be more of a dlc thing, as it's not everyone's bag.
6. decent indie selection. modest mouse! interpol!
7. lacking 60s, but masters are tough
8. not much hair, thankfully, but it should be dlc as it's a niche thing, and not everyone would enjoy it
i don't see any unknown bands on that list, unless they announced other than the 60 songs listed in the discussion of the wiki article, care to enlighten me?

Sure, even if the rumors aren't true, there are going to be clunkers and winners for everyone. Great mainstream songs, appropriate with the 4 key parts, balanced tiering, cross-cutting sub-genres, etc mean that some folks will be less satisfied than others. Nature of the beast. I'm sure for many any discussion at E3 of upcoming DLC will also impact buying decisions.

07-06-2008, 03:52 PM
I agree with one thing, in that the song list will not affect whether I buy the game or not. I will buy Rock Band 2 no matter what.
That said, I want to know what songs are coming so I can get more excited!

07-06-2008, 04:47 PM
I'm not that fussed,but if it has any Rise Against songs on it (like 'Give It All' mentioned in one of the rumor setlist threads) then I will be mega happy. And if GH:WT has any RA songs than it will definatley be cluttering up my living room becuase I am so obsessed with them.

chico76
07-06-2008, 05:36 PM
I care because I'm still on the fence about RB2 or checking out GH4. For me, it's all about the song selection...
SOMEONE needs to include in their game:
Guns n Roses
Pearl Jam
Green Day
Nickelback
3 Doors Down
Tonic
Dave Matthews
Hootie & the Blowfish
Alanis Morissette
Sublime
Matchbox 20
Linkin Park
Sugar Ray
And that's just recent history! I'm also looking for:
The Beatles
Led Zeppelin
The Eagles
AC/DC
Pink Floyd
Queen
Elvis Presley
Santana
Van Halen
I mean, we have 3 songs from a band like The Mother Hips, but not even one song from ANY of the above listed bands?
Licensing issues aside, what is the problem with any of these companies putting out full-band rhythm games? If I had been in the position to release the first full-band rhythm game (especially in the USA), I would have gone to great lengths to get just about every one of these bands. Either on the game disc or for the first 2 months of DLC. We did get some good names there in the beginning, but the last few months have been completely up & down, almost as if they have no idea what direction they want to go at HMX. With a company like EA for financial backing, and MTV for music backing, why did things fall so short on the "most popular bands of all time"?
So, I care about what we get in RB2. It's going to be the make-or-break issue for me. Great song selection = definite buy. The additional features are fairly moot for me, as it seems to be of no use if you aren't enjoying the music with your friends.

....And man those bands suck chico, if this game were full of that pop rock crap I probably would have never even tried it. I think we have enough of that crap now with the cruefest pack, enough pop rock for 1 year, thanks.
Anyone else think "time is running out" was too much? "woah, yeah yeah" twice is the chorus, seriously? Then repeat something just as vague 10 times before it ends, wtf. Keep that **** on the radio, I hate songs THAT vague and unoriginal. Who listens to that? Besides mindless teens....

It's not about being a blind fanboy, dumbass, no one cares about the company. I can't stand people saying that. As I've already mentioned, I'm buying both too ONLY b/c these games are all I play, I'm a nut.
But Activision SUCKS at making these games, they aren't comparable to HMX. GH1 was 999999999999x better than gh3 and gha (not talking about song selection in which case activision wins, too bad it doesn't matter when you can't implement them into the game right), activision will never learn. I really can't wait to see how bad the drums are and how activision falls on their face again.

Exactly!! people buy and play these games to Rock out to popular bands and songs not to play a bunch of nobodys no one gives a damn about, stop being cheap HMX theres no excuse why we cant get good songs, sure you got some big bands but its always their lesser known songs.Would it hurt to start breaking out the popular songs and huge bands?

Reportedly $15M for the use of that song in a 30 second clip. It didn't require handing over extremely valuable masters. And there are quite a few other issues with Zeppelin and Page in particular. We're talking about a huge, huge difference. Look at how long it took them to get to iTunes, and that didn't even require mixing the masters.

You obviously do not understand the difference between a tv ad and a video game in terms of licencing.
I won't waste my time going into the intricacies and I'll leave up to you to find the MANY very well detailed explanation as to what goes into licensing tracks for this game. However, there is a HUGE difference between a tv ad and an interactive video game. Nevermind that there is a huge difference in profits between both HMX and Cadillac. What Cadillac can pay out for a song /= what HMX can.

Granted. However... why couldn't they just be involved in the process, such as the way The Who were involved? That would be a way to solve any "handing over the masters" issues...
I'm not sure I understand why, at this point, older bands especially aren't more willing to gain exposure to a new audience. Wasn't that a part of what Daltrey said when commenting on Rock Band? It's not like bands from the 70s are putting out new albums (other than greatest hits with the occasional new venture included)...

Some of the older bands still believe that their musical integrity is too good to be dragged down into a popular "kids game".
That's the essence of it.
The thing is that Led would have to WANT to be a part of the process, if they don't have the time/inclination there goes your participation and we're back at square 1.
Roger and Pete are involved because:
1) Pete plays the game with his son and loves it.
2) Roger follows along with Pete when it comes to things that involve publicity. Roger knows he's just the frontman and not the songwriter and driving force behind the band, and thus he follows the man who helps put food on his table. That's the way it's been since the early 60's when 2 events almost got him booted from the band:
a) He flushed Keiths drugs down the toilet and got into a physical altercation with Keith just after the release of the "My Generation" album. The band actually voted him booted from the group, but decided to reinstate him after the "My Generation" single became a hit.
b) He punched Pete in the face during an arguement and actually knocked him out after a concert. The band nearly booted him out again but The Who's managers saved his butt by smoothing everything over.
This isn't meant to be a put down of Roger, quite the opposite. The man is one of my idols. The thing is that he is very smart and knows that Pete will make the proper decisions.

I don't disagree at all. But Page's hang-ups are Page's hang-ups, out of the hands of both HMX and Activision. I can guarantee that the level of involvement The Who took was not to sit there while the masters were being mixed for the game. At this point, Page is so concerned about his (the band's) sound, that he'd probably have to have that level of involvement. Now if he hasn't bought into the process now, can you imagine how far off that is?
Either money isn't going to solve it, or the money required would probably simply be too punitive for either company to sniff a profit. It's not a matter of being cheap as people always love to toss around. There is a lot of heavy stuff at play that HMX can't reasonably be expected to cut through immediately.

There's lots of good reasons that Led hasnt allowed the use of their music in these games I'm sure, and one of the is definitely integrity. The music they made is their live's work and is a historic addition to the history of rock and roll. The music Zepplin made is priceless and maybe Page doesn't want it broken down into 5 different colors. Maybe he doesnt want new exposure, and lord knows that he doesnt want/need the extra money from a video game like this.
For me, he's showing a lot of what rock and roll should be about. Making great music and not worrying about money/exposure/fame. I think if he were to allow the use of the master's that some people would look at him like a corporate sellout, and better yet, if it is about money (thought it isn't) Zepplin's stock will keep rising until the bidding reaches a peak. The longer they hold out, the more these companies will offer.
High Demand = high price, its simple economics

you should care, because you get a full setlist of top-notch songs at a severely reduced price compared to DLC

As a singer, the song list is the *only* important aspect of the game.
It could be a black background with no graphics, as long as the songs kick complete and utter ass.
Agreed.
Also, if the leaked lists do turn out to be reliable I have to say that I'm more than a little disappointed. There's really no song listed that makes me say "Oh my god! I really am excited to see _________ in RB2!"

I ACTUALLY CARE ALOT. Because I dont want a bunch of crap on it like the gg&ht song and a few others i cant recall cause i dont play them anymore since i now sit at 214 songs.
Well....I guess I'll be the deliverer of bad news. There are going to be songs on the new game that your not crazy about. It is almost impossible to put an array of music covering 50+ years in a game and have any single person like all of the songs. Sorry.

I care about what songs are included. If Interpol and Jane's Addiction are on as rumored along with Foo Fighters Everlong and Soundgarden Spoonman, then I buy the bundle on day 1.
