There has been a lot of buzz surrounding the upcoming release of Guitar Hero : World Tour. Unfortunately for Activision, Harmonix will be releasing Rockband 2 first. Frankly, it is a whole big plate of awesome, and is full of WIN.
Harmonix made the [ announcement ], but didn’t give a ton of details.. So IGN went the next step and interviewed the lead developer [ Dan Teasdale ].
The highlights?
• DLC (Downloaded Content) will be transferrable from RB1 to RB2 and any new RB2 DLC will be backwards compatible to RB1. ROCK!
• New instruments will be quieter and more realistic, but old instruments will be usable.
• Band Tour will be improved. This is cool too me since the random set list often had unrealistic expectations based on how long and what level people where playing at. Enter Sandman in the 3rd set is just mean.. LOL
• Full Master recordings on the disk.
There is a ton more, so go read the article.
I am impressed at Harmonix. I was very vry excited for the GH4 release, and quite frankly, Activision really missed the boat focusing thier energy releasing Aerosmith and the stupid DS version of GH. They should have been pushing GH4 out for an early summer release because by the time Christmas rolls around RockBand 2 will already be p0wning GH4 before it is even released.
