New title from hmx confirmed: Rock Band Blitz

[bonethug0108]

First person shooter.

You blast evil gems with a guitar.

I just think its a big mistake for the next Rock Band to be on the current gen hardware when the next gen more capable hardware is on the horizon. It also depends how much the next gen consoles bring to the table and if consumers are willing to make the transition quickly. I know if RB4 came out as a launch title for the next xbox with all previously offered content transferable that would be a great selling point.

"Design history of a title on public display for the first time."

That does NOT say the game is on display for the first time. It says that it's the first time the are putting the design history of a title on public display.

This could be the new title they are announcing or it could be for anything they've done prior.

You forgot the end of the sentence, "at the Harmonix booth." That completely changes the meaning of the sentence. Now it's saying, "we have this completely new game on display at our booth, and during this panel we're gonna go through it's design process with you." Once again, I have no idea how you interpreted that the way you did because it DOES say the game is on display to the public for the first time, at their booth.

And BTW, why does the English language have to be so difficult?

Why the **** would they wait at least another 2 years when it's been 2 already?

You need to get over your little annoyance with the song limit. They aren't going to wait just because a tiny minority might be upset.

Then you can be happy with your rb5 on the 720/ps4/etc.

No, no it doesn't magically say that. It says:

"...a synopsis of the design history of A title on public display for the very first time at the Harmonix booth."

It does not say "of the new title" anywhere in there. I'm not saying it won't be, but you are jumping to conclusions.

Edit:
Btw, I added emphasis to the important part of how I came to my conclusion. English doesn't have to be that difficult.

I think being on the current gen hardware is not a bad thing. But, I think that RB4 will need to be able to be played with both any real guitar and any real bass to be relevant. Our current pro-mode pales in comparison to Rocksmith (guitar wise) and I really have fallen in love with being able to use my own real instruments.

However, not sure where such a big change would leave us as far as all the DLC and prior disk songs. Perhaps a legacy specific mode and the real instruments for RB4 and future DLC?

Anyway, that's my personal wish for RB4...drums (since I already use a totally different edrum kit with my Ion drum brain) and keys can remain as they are, with the ability to use any real guitar and bass.

Unless it's RB4 I don't care.

Edit: Also, rip off Rocksmith.

Once your at the 2952 limit and loading new songs into the library the game would give you an option to unload previously found songs in the library to make room for new content and thus making them greyed out and not selectable.

Again, no. If the songs aren't loaded, HOW WOULD THEY SHOW UP. They would have to be loaded to show up. You know what happens when you hit 2,952 now? The rest of the songs aren't loaded. So they don't show up. Because they're not loaded. If they could gray them out, why did they possibly choose NOT to do that, and have it, say, be possible for you to select a song with yellow and pick 'Remove Song From System Cache' and then go to a grayed-out song(the magic one that loaded without being loaded) and pick 'Add Song To System Cache'?

Right, which is why I suggested my solution of a completely separate music manager menu that loads nothing but the names of the songs on your drive.

Yes it does, it says the title they're talking about is going to be shown to the public to the first time at their booth, which implies that it's new since it's the FIRST TIME IT'S BEING SHOWN.

Basically, the way you're interpreting it would be saying that the design history for whatever game it is is being shown at the booth. That doesn't make any sense. The sentence begins with, "The panel will include...". As in, they're talking about the design history during the panel, not at their booth. So why would they even have the part mentioning their booth at all?

Now do you understand why what you're saying doesn't make sense?
