Rocksmith discussion thread - New real guitar game.

[Doom878]

Good survey

I hadn't heard about this game. Interesting that someone thinks that it's worth making another RS-like-any-real-guitar game.

article says it's been 2 1/2-3 years in the making. likely they didn't know about rocksmith til everyone else did. it's gotta be frustrating to see your game basically get ninja'd 6 months in advance.

I thought the whole Joystiq kerfluffle was from the original RS review where the reviewer couldn't figure out his setup and noted the lack of things like tuning tutorials, which RS actually has though buried in the videos sections. A call to confirm facts with the developer would've worked both of those issues out. With the new Joystiq deal the "using online tabs" thing has no merit in my eyes because I've looked up a bunch of RS songs to play on my own time and the tabs online are usually different from what RS does, something else that a quick investigation would find out.

As with any videogame, if it's good I'll get it. If not, I won't. I do have a friend who is amazing on real guitar who can't grasp neither RB3 pro or RS because of the vertically scrolling notes, so Bandfuse (BF?) may be good for him.

Re: survey: "And do you already own these instruments?" My face: >|O
That's a good face, by the way. RS2 with bass and drums pls.

Nice, thorough survey, and I'm certainly curious about where Rocksmith is going. I still give the edge to Rock Band 3, but a little healthy competition never hurt anyone, especially among games that teach real instrument playing.

Going back to my comments on the online tabs, I suggested Ubisoft might get in trouble if they really did use tabs available online without the permission of the tab makers. I emphasize "if." If they didn't, and I'm willing to believe they didn't, then they have nothing to worry about.

Very good survey. Well thought out and many choices. Hard to just pick top 3 on some of those, I hope everyone doesn't pick impossible to get artists for their DLC dream list
Good idea (incentive - prize) to get lots of responses back and hope it helps them make RS2 even better

This is way off-topic but this guy has serious mental issues

he's probably someone's alternate account that has a personal vendetta against me, you may know him on the FB page as "Bob Sullivan"

If it walks like a troll, and quacks like a troll...

Yu must be new here if you have not encountered the trollicious mr batz on this forum before. Look up his posts here. I particularly liked the one where he claimed that his guitars were worth more than my house and cars put together!

[tnevaker]

oh geez, is that the same he-who-must-not-be-named* who used to post here. that guy was a true idiot, and always making stuff up in his posts. i'm still waiting for the proof that the squier's electronics were manufactured by madcatz.


* i don't want to say his name, lest he reappear here again, like voldemort or the boogey man.

also, i don't go to ubi's forums.... but do they really censor the word "butt"? even when it's part of a bigger word like "buttons"? the same company that doesn't censor "****" in their DLC is afraid of people saying "butt" on their forums. that's almost as funny as that guy's posts.
