As if Rock Band hasn't already shaken up the industry enough already (are you sick of hearing about it yet?), there might be more on the way. Speaking with Reuters on the game's impending success and future, executive vice president of program enterprises at MTV Networks Music Group drops some hints.
"We're pretty optimistic about what the game is going to do," he tells them. "But our next big announcement, which is coming up fairly quickly, is a move to a whole other realm."
MTV and Harmonix have been very clear about Rock Band not being just a game, but aobut being a new platform in which people experience music. They've already revealed part of their long-term DLC plans for the title, and appear to be delivering on the promise of weekly content updates. But "a whole other realm"?
Our hearts (and wallets) may not be able to stand it.

Also, want keyboard/sequencing added to Rock Band
And she just ordered the lobster.
Cereally, I remember Harmonix saying they won't do any more of the music games or some such nonsense. Be interesting to see what they're big idea.
@BahamutZero: FUCK YES, GIMME ONLINE WORLD TOUR! There are no good drummers ANYWHERE around here.
Tired of Rock Band news
Keyboards would be awesome, and actually, like the drums, teach you something useful.
I can't see a realistic guitar tutor without actual strings
Cowbell Hero
Tuba Hero
30-piece orchestra Javanese Gamelan hero
cello hero?

You can just go to hell, sir.
Come on, online BWT!
Did you guys break the BBCode?
probably something community related, battle of the bands anyone?
Ooh, that's a great idea!
I'm perfectly fine with weekly updates and what not. Online BWT would be AMAZING, but that means you have to rely on others who may or may not be at the skill level you'd need them to be. It's a huge gamble.
