Rock Band Blitz – Rumors and Facts

[SirDavidTLynch]

I think pop artists like Lady Gaga would be more likely to show up in something like this than a plastic guitar-based disc. Repetitive synth lines and drum machine beats would be more interesting switching back and forth between the parts, and playing keyboard parts on "guitar" isn't as jarring when you're just pressing buttons on a regular controller. "Poker Face" and "Just Dance" may have been boring in Rock Band 1/2/3 (aside from vocals), but I look forward to playing them in Blitz.

I feel like maybe we'll be getting lots of those "hey why wasn't that in 'X' three-pack?" songs, like Hip to Be Square, Who Can it Be Now?, and You Make My Dreams Come True. I'd pay fifteen for those three songs alone.

And "Time of the Season", "Party in the USA", "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?"...

"Have You Ever Seen the Rain?"...

Derpy, derpy, derp

Derpy, derpy, derp

The point! You got it!

"Party in the U.S.A." and "Time of the Season" aren't already in RB, so I don't know where you're going with that..

So they say it's just 1600 for the songs if that's all you're into, but I'm going bet there'll be a small export fee on top of that.

And I do mean small, or Minecraft XBLA comes first.

The point is everyone knew they were being saved for RB3 when they weren't released and now everyone knows those songs will be in RB4 or RBB. So including Have You Ever is mocking reference to the failed RB3 logic.

Oh okay. I get that.

I don't believe pricing has been announced yet - at least I haven't seen it anywhere.

I also haven't heard anything about an export. I believe the words used by the dev in the G4 interview were "they're instantly playable in Rock Band 3."

No price yet but highest XBLA can go is $20 (or 1600 MSP). I still think it will be $15 (or 1200 MSP). Most XBLA games are.

Yeah, so I just figured the download is the Blitz shell and then the 25-pack of 'disc' songs as RB3-style files.
