Argh. Why don't they just release a frickin' PC port of the game so we don't have to worry about all this? Does Hmx not see they're leaving money on the table while we're dicking around with FoF?

I'd love to know if they're still reluctant to do a PC version, or if they've loosened up on that front. I know it will never be a priority for them, but it'd be nice to know if they're open to the...

Great site. Gotta wonder how long it will stay open, though. ;)

I dunno. I was just guessing that Hmx would prefer to develop such a high-profile title in-house.

My point is that it's not like there's a single team that must be allocated to one project at a...

I think you're right. I think the Wii takes precedence over everything else for Hmx right now. There's certainly much more revenue to be had with a Wii version than a PC version.

But I wonder if...

I agree I'd rather see improvements to the existing game before they start to tackle a sequel. And, of course, they should make sure that all hardware is durable enough to stand up to heavy use.
...

Thanks. Those are all good points - much better than the "PC display" reason by itself.

And you're quite right - I'm sure EA has, or eventually will, review the viability of a PC port. Given...

I 100% agree that the lion's share of money made off this game will come from consoles, but is a PC version really that big of an investment with that little profit potential? The existing...

I guess I don't find that "tech support" argument persuasive. Under that line of reasoning, if support for PC is so onerous, why would <i>any</i> game developer <i>ever</i> make a PC game? Why not...

Yeah, I suppose it would depend on how long and how frequent those brass or keyboard fills are. If they're too much, then you have four people sitting around doing nothing for several measures.

Funny you should mention ska as I was just wondering if/when they would add some No Doubt. I know that ND is more ska-punk than true ska, but the band fits in with RB's MTV-ish line-up. Maybe...

Very nice. Do you have any screenshots with the three of you playing together?

I don't think anyone doubts that a PC monitor would suffice for solo play. But since Hmx has positioned RB as...

Yeah, I'm not sure how you draw that conclusion. Why does crappy coding/porting by Aspyr mean that a PC version of RB would just not work?

True, many companies treat their PC ports as sloppy...

Ultratrace - I understand how the game is geared, and I agree that when dealing with 3-4 players, a PC monitor probably would get a bit crowded.

But whether or not Hmx <i>wants</i> RB to always be...

It's been a few months now, and I was wondering if anyone at Hmx (or someone keyed in to Hmx's goings-on) knows if they've changed their stance on a PC version of the game.

IIRC, the whole thing...

It's been said before and I'll say it again - PC version.

But it rarely works properly.

I think walmart.com had the weight at 25 lbs., and dimensions something like 12" x 16" x 30".

Yes, those too.

I was going to suggest "When Love Comes to Town" just for the picking, but that might be too bluesy for "Rock Band". Plus, even though I know the higher fret buttons are...
