The PS3 RBN 2.0 Songs Request Thread

[DemonUnicorns]

Should go without saying...

Death of the Cool – “Everything I Hate About Myself”

[regomar]

Nevermore - The Obsidian Conspiracy

I want Nevermore so badly!

Halcyon Way as well is very good!

[SirDavidTLynch]

This guy knows what he's talking about!

That being said, I doubt they'll listen anymore. I think they've decided not to period.

They're listening, and even experimented in releasing a batch of double bass songs a while back, which sold very well. The problem is that they can only do five songs a week, and they'd rather use that space for five different songs.

Protip: I Like Trains sold too much to not go onto PS3 in three weeks time.

This song isn't eligible to come out on PS3 because it hasn't been released on Xbox yet.

Did you possibly mean "Estranger"? If so, it came out to PS3 in January 2012.

I just want it, whenever it's released (though I did think it did get released a few weeks back). I am very greatful for getting "estranger" early this year.

Ok, so here's a little update for my list.

Defenetly thanks about Anarchy Club's Collide, great guitar track tied with old GH nostalgia.

I'd like to say thanks for the I, Omega song as well. The closest we'll ever get to Protest The Hero, so defenetly cool. Sounds and looks amazing.

On my Top 5:
Josh Blackburn - I'm Dirt
Within The Ruins - Controller
Nevermore - The Obsidian Conspiracy
Spires - The Infinite Descent
Wolfcrusher - Skeletonizer

No changes here.

Honorable Mentions

Kylesa - Tired Climb
Edenshade - Another Purity Falling
Ultra Saturday - Little Sister
The Irresponsible - Pretty Boy
Halcyon Way (everything/anything)
Devin Townsend (everything/anything))
Daas Bosh - Eternal Divine Angel Death (RB3 version)
Dirge Within - Absolution
Ghost Brigade - Clawmaster
Ghost Brigade - Into the Black Light
Joan Of Arc - Say Sayonara (any version)

HM new (old) entries:

Conflicted - Victor (ia) (I almost forgot about this one. I used to request it every week!)

The Burial - Pearls; The Frailty Of Matters (a great guitar track with multiple solos and a lot of variety, and an almost impossible drum track filled with fast blast beats)

Er. What? I listen all the time.

Hello Harmonix. I'm a PRO Drummer, and I'm a little tired of the small diversity of songs on PS3. I have over 600 songs on my RB3 library and counting. But what would really be great was if you could add more songs in general. Just more variety, and YES! PLEASE MORE 2x Bass Pedal, my favorites bands are "Metal" just like "Attack Attack!", "Asking Alexandria" etc.
It would be great to keep enjoying my favorite game with my favorite songs with a little more challenge, and along with my other PSN drummer friends, I beg for this request to be considered and listened to.
Thank you.

Hi! Glad you're enjoying the game; sorry you're disappointed in the variety. However, if you list some specific songs that were released on Xbox that you'd like to see on PS3, we're certainly listening.

There was a period of time when we routinely ported 4 and 5 metal songs a week to PS3. Due to the intense objection from the PS3 audience, we cut back to a standard 1/week with occasional exceptions.

The reason why we only release 5 RBN songs each week on PS3 when we release so many more songs on Xbox is that the RBN is founded on Microsoft's technology. When an RBN song is approved through the Xbox peer review system, it's free and clear to enter the store. By contrast, releasing an RBN song on PS3 requires significant development, production, and QA support from both Harmonix and Sony. It's a much more time-intensive proposal, and RBN songs have a limited market compared to Harmonix-authored DLC. As a result, we choose our songs carefully and try to pick songs that will find a solid audience on PS3.

As far as the 2x bass pedal songs go - based on our prior experiment, we don't perceive that the demand for 2x bass pedal on PS3 is strong enough to justify swapping out a "new song" for a 2x bass pedal version of an old song. If we had the resources and opportunity to release more songs on a routine basis, it would be another matter entirely, but under these circumstances, we don't feel it's the best way to serve our PS3 audience.

Thanks!
