Rock Band Blitz Reveal: First Impressions Poll

[Cipher_Peon]

I'm assuming you're talking about Jessie's Girl!
Yeah, I first heard it on Guitar Hero On Tour, which was my very first music game which I'm very fond of.

Ahh, that makes a little more sense, then.

I watched the full song play through as well. This looks like a cool time waster, Bejewelled type game. Much better suited to a portable or Facebook type situation. I can't see myself spending a lot of time with it at home when I have meaty games and Rock band 3 itself vying for my attention.

Am liking the setlist though so they'll get my money. I'm hoping for a new Rock Band title though. RB3 never matched up to RB2 for me, and on my PS3 it still kicks out randomly and takes forever to load.

Especially if any of the songs happen to have Pro upgrades.

Wait, what? People, PLEASE don't get your hopes up for pro guitar/bass. These songs are coming out for a game where you play on two freaking buttons. It's amazing enough that HMX is packing the 5-button charts in there. If any of the songs in RBB come with pro guitar/bass, I'll eat my hat.

I think it's a smart move to make the songs exportable. There will probably be a decent chunk of people who buy the game just to do that and never even play Blitz.

*raises hand* They had me at Jessie's Girl and Metal Health.

I could see myself firing it up to play while I ride the exercise bike, like I used to do with Hexic, but that's about it (and I certainly wouldn't be buying it for the gameplay).

While I doubt any of the songs as they are bought with the game will have pro upgrades, I think you have a misconception of how this will work. They aren't releasing this as a game with fully packed charts hidden inside just in case someone wants to play it on RB3..... They're releasing what would be upcoming DLC as a set of 25 songs that will already be included in the game. These songs will almost definitely be released as DLC at some point, in which case, it'd be ridiculous to assume that none of them will have pro upgrades.

At least I have a source for my "misconception". Does your statement have any source besides your posterior?

On the official announcement listed on RockBand.com, @SteveMightSay was quick to point out to me that the part that said “all of the tracks that come with Rock Band Blitz are immediately playable in Rock Band 3 at no extra charge…” While we still don’t have pricing details, XBLA pricing tops out at $19.99, so even if the title is priced at the maximum level allowed, even if the gameplay does nothing for you, you’re looking at a 25-pack for Rock Band 3 for a substantial discount.

That sure doesn't sound like "almost definitely be released as DLC at some point" to me. In fact, it sounds exactly like they are releasing this as a game with fully packed charts hidden inside just in case someone wants to play it on RB3.

Just like all the LEGO and Green Day songs were released as DLC?

The most is 1600 MSP, which is $20. After that, you have to use a credit card.

Noooo. Any dollar value you find on the Marketplace can be paid for with Points.

And Games on Demand are disc titles that were later released on said service.

I think the two Resident Evil HD Remakes are just on GoD and had no disc release.
