Playstation & Wii users screwed with RBN?

[T-Hybrid]

Didn't a thread like this just get closed...oh yeah.

Listen, it's already been made clear what's happening.

1) MS and the XNA is the only stable set-up able to support this kind of community driven developement. Neither Sony or Nintendo have something like this available.

2) Because of this, the artists will be developing songs centered around the existing XNA platform, and therefore will be native to the 360 when they are complete.

3) Due to licensing fees, it would be impractical to demand artists to develope for all three consoles simultaneous. (HMX appears to be eating the costs involved with translating those songs that do cross over)

It has nothing to do with favorite consoles, and everything to do with MS already having the tools available to make this possible. If Sony or Nintendo can release something simliar to the XNA then I'm sure HMX would LOVE to try and get people developing for whichever consoles they're most familiar with.

Feel free to retort to my last reply T-Hybrid, I know you love being involved with all things heated and would love to see the amazing insight you have to offer.

Us PS3 users are always being screwed by Sony; nothing new here. I just hope we'll get RBN sometime in the future.

Stop making sense T-Hybrid, it confuses people.

It's not a new product, it's an addition to an established product where people are already invested into. Console sales are not involved at all and it's stupid to see such blantant trollery.

The big factor is obviously XNA, lol.

The songs will cost MONEY. The more user base a console has the more songs it will sell,...thus more MONEY will be made with that console than the other, less selling consoles.

Yeah, keep trying to troll that line.

Yeah, keep trying to troll that line.

Denouncing people that disagree with you as trolls doesn't really help things. If you see someone that you think is trolling you can report the post or put them on ignore.

Beyond that, the last thread about this was closed and redirected to the main thread to centralize discussion. You should know better.

Like I mean, why couldn't this be a PC program where then it's sent to Harmonix to get working on all consoles.

It's not about the means, it's about the poor distribution.

Well first of all that is simply unrealistic. We do not run the marketplaces for the three major consoles. We only submit the content. Infrastructure dictates how much content and what ways it can be processed.

Like I said this was the only feasible way to make this a reality, and we are working with everyone to try to make this have universal availability. If we could have found a way to allow it to be on all three systems concurrently and in a timely manner we absolutely would have. That said we are looking forward to continue working on this in the future so that it is a good process for all consoles.
