Rock Band in 2013 and beyond

[Foos036]

With 2013 only a month away, I'm a little surprised that I haven't seen anything posted on here about what may happen with Rock Band after the calendar year ends.

Five straight years of DLC is extremely impressive, and I'm proud to say that I've spent ridiculous amounts of money on the franchise since day 1. That being said, I'm curious to see what people on here think about DLC continuing over the next year.

I know a lot of people (on here, and everywhere else) have proclaimed Rock Band to be dead multiple times, such as when GH died, when Harmonix became independent, when they put 1,000+ songs on sale, when Blitz came out (no instruments wat?!) and when Green Day songs came out as DLC (which I found to be the most hilarious reason of all to proclaim the end is nigh,) but they've kept on pushing out new content, which is damn impressive. So what do you guys think about 2013? Do they go on for another year, or is the end upon us?

I -- and a lot of others as well -- really don't expect a new core RB title to come out until the next generation hits. As far as DLC, I personally feel that they'll keep going, especially if they're still making a profit, which they appear to be doing.

Your thoughts, please.

I predict in 2013, that Harmonix will announce the 4th, and final game in the Rock Band series, to be released in Spring 2014. And that the fans will get to choose what song they want to see in the game.

They are already doing that :/ Though it's not satisfying everyone -_- Still everyone is getting a little something from their taste of music.

I think RB4 should be like exportable to consoles -_- The wii to wiiu transfer is just ridiculous :/ Which is I'm sticking with dlc being on the wii rather waste effort getting all on the wiiu -_-

Much preferable to "Discuss." Thank you =)

Basically it's gonna continue like this until it doesn't anymore. I don't see HMX making any big changes. As long as RB DLC is even close to profitable, it'll continue. They've got the DC hog to ride high on (until they don't anymore, but that day's not in sight either).

Is it pretty much universally agreed upon that the world will see a fourth DC game before a fourth RB game?

I know it's true, but it hurts my heart.

Even though I totally love Dance Central, that game is nifty!

Well yes, but only because there's never ever ever (x Taylor Swift) going to be a fourth RB game. At the very least, not on the current gen, but I don't see why they'd do it for the eighth gen either.

A Rock Band game for the launch of next gen console would do well because getting in at the launch is good for sales which is why Ubisoft releases a bunch of games for every single console launch

What do you base that on?

Recognizable title to pick up for when you purchase a new system.
