Short time lurker, long time GH Player here. :D

Did a little searching around but didn't see anything, was curious

It appears that guitars will be chosen based on each players preference much like in the GH games, the Run to the Hills Video leads me to believe this anyway.

What about the in-game drum kits? Will the drummer of the band get to choose the look of his set? Or will they just change depending on venue?

Sh...


Pretty sure each instrument (Drum,bass,guitar,microphone) in game is customizable to the way you want it to be. From what I know about the drums they seem to have the band logo printed on the bass. Hopefully you can switch it up anyway you want to. But also guitars are customizable, I think you're able to change everything about the guitar to fit your personality.

Instruments can be purchased at the Rock Shop much like in GH. Custom logos, paint jobs, etc are possible.

can you design your own logo from scratch using some kind of editor?

if you watch the video peview here (http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/897/897524/vids_1.html) he briefly mentions that creating the band logo is similar to the decal editor in forza motorsports. So basicly there will be several shapes that you will be able to size and stretch. You can then place them down layer after layer until you get the desired logo.

It may be a little complicated to use but if you look at some of the custom paint jobs out there for forza 2 (like here (http://www.ndrifters.net/forum/index.php?topic=64.0)... yes those are custom images. none of the "pictures" you see on the cars come in the game. its just hundreds of layers of basic shapes and lines. you can see on the gears of war one where it says 967/1000. thats the number of layers it took to make that) you will see that with some time and a lot of effort you can make amazing looking stuff. I assume RB's logo editor wont be as powerful but it should do for making band logos.

Im sure there the will be a bunch of generic logo as well like the anarchy symbols and what not.

here's another curiosity in my head.
Are the songs completly choreographed? Another words will every time I play a certain song will I see the same camaera angles? Will the singer ALWAYS perform the same animations of his set style at verse A?

Or is there a bit of randomness to it?

No. It's basically like GH where the camera angles are for the most part random and the animations and movements of the characters have been broadened since GH (for example they can actually move around now not just stand in one spot and beeline to another spot).

Info on logo creation can be found here (http://community.rockband.com/index.php?do=/public/user/blogs/view/name_spraynwipe/id_551/).

I wonder how much Tommy Lee's revolving drum cage will cost... :)
