Weekly DLC Previews On the Harmonix Livestream!!!

[www1221]

I think Harmonix should fund a remake of Total Recall featuring all Harmonix employees(family and friends included). I vote Pope of Quaid.

If I happen to get Blitz'd, should I avoid operating heavy machinery?

Are there any songs that Harmonix has stayed away from for Rock Band DLC because the genre was too weird (dubstup, or Dance Central style tracks as an example) or didn't fit right with RB, or the chart on some instruments would be too 'boring', but are now being considered since Blitz deals with less notes per instrument to 'fill' the note quotient per instrument?

Hopefully that all made sense O_o

Yes I realize that getting a song 'for blitz' means it'll be in Rock Band 3 as well but I digress.

With this game having the feel of a racing game, is it ok to play Rock Band Blitz while drinking alcohic beverages? This question doesn't mean much to me as I am underage, but I am sure some of the older folks would like to know.

1. How did you settle on the powerups, and which one was the hardest to balance?
2. What's your absolute favorite background scenery piece that no one's going to notice?.
3. What was the last major design change that occurred before the game was finalized?
4. How many lines of code is the Blitzification algorithm?
5. In what ballpark would you estimate the highest possible Blitz score for a song like 2112 or Rime of the Ancient Mariner to be?
6. What do think is easier to gold star, a song with comparable note density on all instruments throughout that is really fast and hard to consistently hit notes, or an easier song that requires you to constantly be switching around to find the most points?
7. How does Blitzification handle vocals, which don't start out as even being notes in the same sense other instruments are?
8. What has surprised you the most from seeing other people outside of HMX playing Blitz?
9. How did you decide how to arrange the instrument tracks from left to right?
10. If you were to recommend one old DLC (or RBN) song that some people passed up because of boring or annoying traditional RB charts, but is way more enjoyable in Blitz, what would it be?

Why did you call it Rock Band Blitz?

fun thing about this question, just looking at a pre-song loading screen here, and it says:


"RB Blitz was originally titled "Rock Band Crazy Fun Time. What, That's a Good Freakin' Name. You Wanna Go dude?!" --- But then it was changed after Lead Designer Brian Chan sobered up for once"

[metalkorn]

or as it was affectionately known at the time as RB:CFTWTAGFNYWGD
