Rock Band Blitz – Rumors and Facts

[dmbdaw]

Has there been any mention regarding the playlist reveal, such as a timeline?

Not until HMX leaks it like they did w/ RB3.

Remember this?

Harmonix functions like that jerky ex you can't get out of your head. Just as soon as you think you're over them or never going to see them again, they stop by and buy you flowers in the form of your favorite song or information on their next game.

Hahahah that was classic. It was like he didn't even know it was happening..... Especially the guy on the right, he had no idea

Guys, chill. I've kind of reschinded my super pre-emptive strike and am now cautiously optimistic, though still quite cautious.

Hey, that's all we ask.

Several people stopped by the booth at PAX with skeptical attitudes and told us they were pleasantly surprised. And there will be a free demo! So try the game, and don't buy it if you don't like it. But don't write it off just because there are two gems per lane. Trust me, there's a LOT going on while you play a song.

Due to my amazing short-term memory and random remembering of things, here is a bit of info that my brain just spat out.

In the livestream it was mentioned that (to paraphrase) "The lighting cues are read in and used to alter the colours of the graphics on the sides of the screen". I think it was Nord who said this.

Yup, that's right. The streetlights along the side of the road and the world lighting change colors to match the venue lighting. Not exactly, because full strobe would probably be a LEETLE to intense, but we tried to capture the general feelings of the venue presets as you play through the city.

Also we use the song sections and practice sections to create the checkpoints, so they are at musically relevant points.

Except for RBN 1.0 songs. >_>

So the demo will be on both consoles right?

Don't even get me started. The Pro drum gems in Blitz suck!

[Lowlander2]

Hey, maybe Cookie Monster and Fat Kid will look good in this game.

That's one of the things that has me most excited. I have a few songs from rbn1.0 that have great drums and boring everything else so I never play them anymore because they don't have prodrums.
