    Question PS3 2x Bass Pedal Interest?

    Many RBN metal songs are being released on Rock Band with two versions. There's the regular version (which isn't marked in any way) and the 2x Bass Pedal version.

    A 2x Bass Pedal version of a song is identical in all respects to the original version of the song except that the Expert Drum and Pro Drum tracks cannot be played on a standard Rock Band drum kit. They are created specifically for Expert Drum and Pro Drum players who have two bass pedals and can play nonstandard versions of the song.

    To date, we have not brought any 2x Bass Pedal RBN songs to PS3. Should we? This poll is specifically to help me evaluate player interest (and disinterest).

    I feel that Expert should be the full drum part. If I can't play it, then I'l just move down to Hard. Plus, I have fast feet.

    HMX folks always like to say that the forums represent less than 1% of the whole user base, so this poll won't be representative anyway.

    In my opinion you should just port over the best selling 2x bass bedal song (have no clue which specific one that is) and let all RB3 players on the PS3 vote with their wallet.

    They do, and it won't be, but it'll still be interesting to me to see what people have to say.

    I feel like there are probably plenty of great RBN songs that should be released on PS3 before a 2x Bass version of any song should. If there wasn't a 5 song a week limit, I could see this being a good option for popular songs. As it stands now, an announcement of an already available RBN song with 2x Bass would probably get a lot of "we already have that song" comments and in the end would only sell to people who play 2x Bass. Everyone that only sings or plays guitar would have already bought the song.

    I don't own a PS3 (I have a Wii) but I fully support this. I feel that seeing the PS3 gets a decent amount of tracks that they should get double bass versions too. To me, it seems pretty far. Plus it'll give quite a challenge. Man, Marianas Trench (2x Bass) isn't easy.....

    To be clear: 2x bass pedal versions are considered not physically possible for the vast majority of players with 1x bass pedal. Even the hardest songs on drums from HMX have not hit this level of kick pedal use.

    I think PS3 owners should be able to get access to these versions. I don't have one, but I voted yes anyways

    I understand that. It made me pretty dissapointed when I couldn't play the 2x parts I could play with one foot, such as Blue Monday and Beast and the Harlot, because they weren't charted

    OK! Just wanted to make sure we were on the same page.
