RB2 & GHWT Drum Compatibility...

[schmiggy_jk]

Didn't Microsoft and Sony insist that Harmonix and Activision play nice this time around and all their first party peripherals work together?

Is there a coming patch, like soon, to get the GHWT drums working with Rock Band 2? Because right they don't work at all (On the PS3 version, 360 seems to be okay).

Any info guys? I just bought RB2, just the game disc, with the expectations that it would work at it doesnt. Not too happy at this point as it is a sale that wouldn't have occurred had I known they werent working.

I want answers on this topic, too, because I bought the WT band set and just the RB2 disc for PS3. I don't WANT to buy more instruments, and I shouldn't have to. This is especially frustrating because I saw the article about Sony and cross compatibility, and they very clearly stated the GH: WT instruments would work with RB2 and vice versa. If they hadn't made that announcement, I probably wouldn't be so upset, because I would've known from the beginning that I needed to buy another drum set. But it's not cool for Sony to say that it WILL work, only for that to end up not being correct, without any kind of warning. That's crap; if a patch isn't released to fix this (and preferably sooner rather than later, so I can start playing ASAP), that's pretty damn dirty on Sony or Harmonix, or whoever's part.

I'm in the same boat. I got GH:WT home today and RB2 won't recognize my GHWT drum peripheral as anything other than a microphone. I plugged a mic in to see if that would set things straight but then RB2 just registered two microphones. Considering the announcements that were made regarding cross-game compatibility, I'm really hoping that a patch will be issued for this soon.

Edit: Forgot to mention, these problems are with PS3 as other users have mentioned.

I have the same issue for my PS3. Is this only a problem in the PS3 version, or can anyone confirm this issue exists with the X360?

Works fine on the 360. Yet again HMX gives PS3 users the shaft.

I'm sure that there's a patch in the works.

And what about RB1 on XBOX360? do the GHWT drums work with it as well?

my ps3 is doing the same thing. It is thinking the drums are a microphone. this is such a pain in the ass.

although i don't say harmonix has been the kindest to ps3 owners,
i would definitely blame activision in any sort of case like this.

rockband guitars worked for guitar hero 3 one day,
then after a title update from activision they didn't.



i just want to know rockband2 hardware will play guitar hero world tour.

Awesome, All I wanted to do today was play RB2 with my GH4 drums. Yet I guess I have to sing with the drumset, since it only comes up as a mic.
