About Me


Yo East Coast, where you at?

Hello, fellow D-toiders, my name is Andrew and I reside in New York City. It has been such an amazing experience being a part of this wonderful community. From my activities as a host of the Friday Night Fight events to becoming one of the community members responsible for handling the Destructoid NY group, coordinating East Coast meetups to helping the PAX meetup group, I have loved every minute of my time spent with this community.

Please hang out with other Dtoid members whether it would on the main site chat to your local Dtoid group. It can be life changing, trust me on that.

Rock Band 2 Info and Rumors
power-glove | 2:11 PM on 07.01.2008 20 comments


There was a lot of Rock Band news yesterday, so I figured that I would share with everyone what info I was able to gather from yesterday that may have been missed.

-There will be no music creator in RB2.
-There is possibility that we may see other genres of music in the future.
-There is a good chance that we will see online BWT in RB2.
-We will be getting Rolling Stones DLC in the future.
-HMX may be looking into the idea of teaching users how to play Rock Band songs on real instruments.
-Drain You by Nirvana was shown in the first song picture from IGN.
-RB 2 has 80+ songs that will be all master tracks
-There is a special mode for those who sing and play guitar simultaneously.
-There will be customizable instrument peripherals.
-There is a rumor that customs may make an appearance in the game. "New exciting ways to play your music library"
-Your guitarist can be left-handed.
-The Replacements may be heading to Rock Band 2.
From Pitchfork:
"...I was talking to Darren about Guitar Hero and Rock Band; we turned it down before because I thought it was stupid. I was watching my son do it - him and his buddies all play it - and I figured, "Why not? What the hell? So, they want 'Kids Don't Follow'...let'em have it". "
and here is the IGN wish list in which some of these bands were confirmed to be in
Agent Orange
The Beatles
Built to Spill
The Buzzcocks
Journey
Led Zeppelin
Modest Mouse
Pavement
The Replacements (we have a match)
Tool.
Just for the record, most of this information come from the IGN and AP articles.
One more thing, there is rumored feature that I heard about, but I would rather not talk about it. It may impress you and it may not but it could be provide some major lulz.

The fact that Drain You is mentioned in the same breath as RB2 seriously lets me down. I thought we would have Nevermind by now. Oh well...Yea RB2...I guess

Journey! WOO.

Anyways: CUSTOMIZABLE BAND IN SINGLE PLAYER! I hate using randoms every time I just want to play normally

MR W, it may not be a song on the main setlist of RB2.

Buzzcocks/Zeppelin/Modest Mouse = Gimme Gimme Yeah!

I really hope they find a way to include a music creator though. I REALLY don't want to buy GH4.

"There is a good chance that we will see online BWT in RB2"

If it's not, then fuck RB2. I can't believe they missed such a glaring oversight the first time around. BWT is awesome for everyone that has their friends in the same state(or country), but it was severely frustrating for everyone else.

no way Tool agrees to be in Rock Band. right? no WAY... (though it would be super-cool)

That' true, PG. I just want my damn Nevermind, man. Oh well, with The Who pack coming soon that leaves Nirvana and Metallica as the only promised DLC that we havent got yet. Correct me if I am wrong, Oh Mighty Rock Band Sage.

There will be a music creator. GH:WT has one, and HMX has been hinting at it since the first game released.

"Guitar Hero World Tour" — the fourth iteration of the franchise that started the music-game trend — will be released in October and will feature a "Rock Band"-like assemblage of peripheral instruments for the first time, as well as the ability make instrumental music, a feature Rigopulos said won't be found on "Rock Band 2."

No, there won't be.
