Rock Band Blitz – Rumors and Facts

[jeronemitchell]

Yeah, considering the six months includes finding and delivering masters, in-house work like charting and mixing, and putting them on the schedule.

Also, you're making the assumption they're possible to reacquire.

Yup, that is a huge assumption. It's a combo of Blasteroids' "They don't bother with 'Stay Tuned' unless there's reason to stay tuned" and "Man, I /REALLY/ want 'Give It Away' and 'Spoonman' back!".

On the Recommended tab screenshot on this page there's a image of QotSA's Songs for the Deaf album cover. Does this mean that exports can be recommended or are we getting more QotSA DLC before RBB is released (only songs from that album on RB are No One Knows on RB3 (confirmed that those tracks aren't importing onto Blitz) and Go With the Flow on RB1)?

Weird. You're right, how can they recommend you a song that is from an export. This should make Riles squeal if true.


Also not sure if its worth putting here but... Henry pretty much confirmed that Hey, Soul Sister by Train isn't on Blitz in the DLC discussion thread.

I could already imagine an entire category dedicated to things that aren't going to be on Blitz.

Isn't the recommendations thing supposed to also recommend songs for you to play that you already own?

I think the song recommendation feature in Blitz is there to recommend songs for you to play, and not necessarily songs for you to buy, since a lot of people are going to be going into it with a huge back library of songs to begin with. I don't totally know that that's what they're going for but that was my interpretation.

Edit: I got ninja'd. Probably because I took the time to look up which song was on Songs For The Deaf

These screenshots and trailers were pulled from developers kits that have access to every song we've ever released, including RB3 disc songs, songs that didn't export and songs that have been pulled from the library. Chalk it up to bad luck that that particular image popped up. I'll flag to the Media team to make sure that they're more mindful of image capture on dev kits.

The Recommendations screen will point to all sorts of different things, including songs that you can buy, songs that you own but haven't played, songs where friends have beaten your high score, etc. Multi purpose recommendations!

Yep, you can cross that one song off the list of all possible known songs that could be candidates for Blitz.

Well one down, 100 million more to go.

What about songs that are unknown?!? :O

Speaking of Songs for the Deaf. Why does Skullcrusher Mountain have the Thing-A-Week 2 album art?
