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 officially announced(yay! Compatible DLC and Instruments)
power-glove | 3:36 AM on 06.30.2008 10 comments


This is something that we saw coming a mile away. Rock Band 2 has been formally announced by HMX. IGN was able to get an interview with the Dan Teasdale of HMX which revealed two main sticking points to the game. First, Rock Band 1 DLC will be compatible with Rock Band 2 and vice versa. Secondly, your Rock Band 1 instruments will compatible with Rock Band 2.

Finally, my DLC purchases are justified but I now know that I may be purchasing another years worth of DLC. My wallet and hard drive are sobbing as we speaking.

Picture of the new Guitar:



From the interview:
IGN: Here are ten bands I want to see in RB2:
Agent Orange
The Beatles
Built to Spill
The Buzzcocks
Journey
Led Zeppelin
Modest Mouse
Pavement
The Replacements
Tool

Based on this list. How do you think I would rate RB2 on a scale of 0-10 (ten making me a happy reviewer and zero making suicidal).

Teasdale: Not only have you named some of my favorite bands, but you've also named some of the bands that are on the Rock Band 2 disc.

I wonder which bands are going to appear.

This game is due out in September on the 360 with no announced date for the PS3 version. Could this be a timed exclusive?

To answer the question of the poster below: GH:WT happened.

This could be the first song for Rock Band 2. It is Nirvana's Drain You. It is becoming likely that we will be seeing Nevermind Album DLC at around the release of this game.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Aw, snap! I just posted and saw that you beat me to it. I should know better than to expect I'd get to music-game news faster than you.

I wonder if they will release the songlist of the first RockBand as DLC for the second game. Swapping disc to play old songs would kind of suck. Though paying $2 for every song on the first disc would suck too...

Dang, guess me and the other importers (PStriple users) will have to wait a while for our copy then. Ah well im sure GH:IV will keep us entertained until then.

I am so unbelievably happy that Rock Band DLC will be compatible with Rock Band 2. But I am also unbelievably pissed that it’s coming to the 360 first and other platforms “later this year.” Fuck that. Fuck that in the ass.

The big question is: When they say September for the 360, do they mean worldwide, or just the US? Because I would love to have any iteration of Rock Band, being a citizen of the Rock Band-starved Australia.

Thank god RB1 DLC is compatible with RB2! I will be able to play NIN, QOTSA and Bowie after all!

Heading to Harmonix today (and next Monday) to do some focus group playtesting of RB2 :-D.

If I'm not NDA'ed I'll post up.

Hrmmm.... now I'm not sure if I should wait for RB2 to purchase the whole package or what. Maybe I can still scoop up a GHIII pack on the cheap, and then pick up the original as well...

Also, I know that Rock Band has the full package in quality and whatnot, but based on the list of bands released for World Tour, I might go for that instead.

Man I hope the PS3 version comes sharpish. I wonder what the new drums look like...
