If RB4 came out for Orbis/720/wii U...

[Pitch-Black]

Personally, I'd like to see a RB 4 on this generation of console, but whatevs. In order for a next RB to even be necessary it would have to offer something you can't already do in 3. What would that be? They may have actually done too good of a job with RB 3. At any rate, I agree with those that say ADVERTISE! Seriously. It is a shame how many people I've come across who a.) don't even know RB 3 even exists, b.) are completely unaware of pro even if they DO know RB 3 exists, or c.) think RB was axed right along with GH. Every single game store attendant I've spoken with (RE: lots) claims RB is no longer being made, is done, is no longer being supported; is essentially completely dead. What reason do they or the gamers who shop there have to think otherwise? Nothing on the shelves, no signs, nothing. Out of sight out of mind.

Totally agree! Also, the animations should be more like RB2 where the characters are more lively and full of energy.

Am i the only one who never watches the animations?

yes?

[Dangimarocker]

yes?

Doubt it, thinking there's a lot worse happening than a characters animation glitches.

A little bit doom and gloomy, no? It's not dead yet :P

Where did you buy yours? I managed to get mine at the Oxford Street HMV, and they still had a fair amount of RB3 stuff left. Not a lot of beatles/green day/others in sight.

I meant as in back then, it saw so many bad events happening such as HMX getting sold (bad because it meant RB3 was rushed), the end of GH, etc. Currently I think Blitz has gained enough interest for RB4 to work well with the new consoles provided HMX advertises enough (like they've done with DC).

As for where I bought it, GAME Oxford Street as I prefer their reward card system.

I figured that was what you meant.

I didn't even know GAME were selling RB stuff. I've never seen those games in store. I struggled getting Rocksmith from them on release day. HMV came through again.

My local HMV didn't have a single copy of Rocksmith at all (I was on a weekend away in London when RB3 came out).

- more hip-hop and pop to entice people who buy RB simply for it's ground-breaking vocals mode (far superior to the SD flakiness of SingStar). I don't care about the hip-hop-haters: the Snoop Dogg and Gorillaz tracks are popular and fun on karaoke, plus the newly remixed band parts make the old Snoop tracks feel fresh.

I would say maybe one or two Hip-Hop/Rap tracks on disc at most. The reason being is that Rock Band is more than a singing game. With the instrumentation added to the Snoop Dogg tracks, most rap would be dull on instruments, and realistically the costs for an artist to rerecord a song is still rather expensive, especially if it's specifically to get a guitar solo in there.

I get that you want the "Ultimate Rock Band." I understand. I too would like most of this. But let's be realistic, this is a lot to ask for. Say you're the head of Harmonix, and you had to choose between focusing all of your money on a series that is really selling well (Dance Central) or a series that is still doing decent, but isn't selling what it used to five years ago (Rock Band). Which would you choose to dump money for features and special artists into? Keep in mind that it isn't just sales and money, but also the jobs of your employees, the cost of hiring more workers, the difficulty of finding workers who'd want to work on Rock Band instead of, say, Call of Duty or Halo, and the personal interest of certain bands (Charlie Daniels is still pissed at Guitar Hero and will most likely not want anything to do with another video game, for example). There's more to it than "Let's make the best game EVAH!"

P.S. The genres in Rock Band now are off, so in Rock Band 4 the artist genre will be their actually genre. (Example: Lamb of God on Rock Band now is metal on RB4 it would be Death Metal)

Would like to make a correction: Lamb of God is not death metal. They are groove metal.
