Do you think there will be Blitz DLC?

All that does is show RB3 DLC. They just cross linked the pages.

I think I know what you mean. But instead of having separate DLC for both titles and can be played on either, they will continue to release diverse DLC as they have been for the past 4 or 5 years. Lets face it, what other music games can you play Johnny Cash, Lady GaGa, Bruno Mars, Bee Gees, Coldplay and Iron Maiden in one session should you wish?

Exactly!

I don't think its viable though, and it will get confusing since both would be playable in either Blitz or RB3. If you want HMX to continue releasing a wide variety of DLC, then people need to buy it. If it doesn't sell well, then it may be encouraged not to return to that artist or any similar artist for that matter.

It was a fair question and definitely not a stupid one in any way.

They don't need to to anything like have separate DLC streams. They can just target some songs more towards Blitz by promoting them more in the Blitz store UI than the RB store UI. Or by putting some Blitz footage in the usual release trailers, using the ones that seem more Blitz-friendly.

If they show Blitz footage in the trailers, it would probably be because they have a new game they want to promote. We've already seen Blitz previews with Bang Camaro, Rock the Casbah, Never Gonna Give You Up, and Raining Blood, all of which predate Blitz by several months.

-There are pre Blitz songs that will be fun in Blitz but aren't fun in traditional RB
-There are pre Blitz songs that won't be fun in Blitz that are fun in traditional RB
-There are pre Blitz songs that will be fun in both
-There are pre Blitz songs that aren't fun in either
-There will be post Blitz songs that will be fun in Blitz but aren't fun in traditional RB
-There will be post Blitz songs that won't be fun in Blitz that are fun in traditional RB
-There will be post Blitz songs that will be fun in both
-There will be post Blitz songs that aren't fun in either

In other words, nothing will change. HMX may start factoring Blitz playability into future DLC to the extent that they started factoring in keys and harmonies after RB3 came along (and remember that there are plenty of pre RB3 songs with amazing keys and/or harmonies and plenty of post RB3 songs without any keys or harmonies.)

This. Considering the qualities and merits of each track are completely subjective, it's impossible to choose songs that are specifically for Blitz because some tracks may only have three instruments but be a blast on Blitz, whereas others may have more tracks but less dense note-wise. Some people will enjoy the lessened density, others will not.

Furthermore, since each track is algorithmically generated at loadtime, things may change if, for example, they decide to alter the algorithm after playtests show a few songs which are too tetchy or whatever. (Not likely to happen, but still.) Thus, songs that were horrible beforehand become excellent, and those that used to be great turn less great.

Just food for thought.

I do think it'd be kind of cool if they released some packs with obviously Frequency-inspired song choices, maybe even remixes.

I also wonder if RBN authors will choose to pursue more techno-ish songs to take advantage of the Blitz compatibility

If you're looking for songs in that genre (or other genres that might be extra fun in Blitz!), posting about your interest in the RBN forums might be helpful. I know the authors are always interested in suggestions.
