...huh. Okay? quote:Previously, Thresher admitted, fans meant very little. Their capital carried little weight. In Rock Band 4, “you accumulate fans per geographic location across the world, and fans gain you access to new opportunities that unlock special, cool – we’re still working on it – but special Easter Eggs and that kind of thing. So, if you have fans in a certain region, you might be able to have a cool metal gig, you might have a big set list, you might see avenues you haven’t seen before.” Well, I mean, if they let you dud out your chracter in freeplay however you like then okay but hm. Anyway, "salted meats" means 'Hamdix' is back, and it's funny again!

I wonder if they actually have metrics to say that people like the "story mode" aspects. Everyone I know hated it because it means you can't necessarily play the songs you want* or dress up your paper doll how you'd like without doing "chores" to unlock. *I think they got rid of unlocking songs for RB3 at least.

Yeah there was no song locking, thank God (unlike GH6/GHWOR which hid 2112 and the Zomg Uber Hard Tier songs behind progress) but goddamn it I like playing dress-up more or less uninhibited! RB2 had a cash system for like 99% of the items in the game, so outside of some hidden items like the Bo Diddley rectangle guitar (which didn't even show up in the shop until you unlocked it) it was all at your disposal. RB3 on the other hand locked a lot behind in-game accomplishments, even from Pro instruments and equipment. The worst though was that a basic jacket-and-tie combo required you to save other band members 50 times in a game with No-Fail mode. They took away the "Add Art" function off a lot of costume options, too, which was a double bummer... mostly because it seemed like it was almost at random which allowed for it and which didn't. It was kinda weird all around. These are all the most minuscule of gripes but it meant I couldn't recreate my old look and I still get a little huffy about it. And no I'm not going to grind out fake band member saves because I still have some dignity standards. I still managed to make a few decent characters; I guess they really prioritized the faces and body types more, which hey, fair enough. The facial hair in RB3 was all chunky-looking and strange, too.

It was kinda weird all around. Most of the items that had art support in RB2 still support it in RB3 but the "add art" button was hidden because either a bug or laziness. You can trick art onto un-artable clothing by putting it on something supported and then switching shirts I think.

The story mode in RB2 and RB3 was great fun for me, until you got to the part where it was 'play these boring gigs to progress'. At least it wasn't like RB1. I was pretty excited for Tribute until I realized I already own that song on RB since loving 2009.

If you check the replies on twitter to the setlist reveals the excited ones are mostly young girls or scene kids. Which is good because that's a pretty huge market for Activision to tap into.

Not saying it doesn't have good music, I'm sure they picked the right songs for their market, but 20 years from now I'm not sure of how many of the songs released we will easily remember, something that can't be said for plenty of Band Hero songs.

But that's true of any music game. Kids these days have no clue who Radiohead and Smashing Pumpkins are, let alone Strokes, Molly Hatchet etc. We are all just out of touch old men looking for comfort songs. It's partly why Rock Band 3 sold so bad. They tried to cater to nostalgia. Who the hell under the age of 25 knows or cares about Huey Lewis? Actually I can't even remember what was on RB3s set list except that and antibodies. Alas, we are not the market. Edit; J Giels band and Chicago

Marketing is one thing and it's ok to sell products based on the lowest common denominator. But knowledge is different, you can't say that it's nostalgic or comforting to read books published before you were born. Actually, if you only know art, pop or classic, from after you were born, you (not "you", "you" as in the one who does this) live in a pit of ignorance. I can see people not knowing older movies because a movie takes dedicated time to watch, but reading books or listening to 4 minute songs is not that time consuming and if you don't know what's been released before you were born, shame on you.  Again, not a marketing thing, that's a different matter. But knowing your musical, literary, movie, etc. history is not lame, it's good, it's how it should be. I grew up in the 80s and started listening to anything before then, starting from the 50s, while I obviously absorbed Madonna, Culture Club, Phil Collins, etc. via radio and MTV (yes, they used to show music videos).

Abu Dave is your average sort-of-vitriolic Something Awful Goon Poster, if he makes a post with WACKY WILD AND CRAZY (read: inflammatory) claims, you're probably better off ignoring him. Then again, controversy gets people to post at all, so...  My opinion: RB4 will probably try and cater to many demographics, just like RB1-3 did. The RB3 disc did skew a little more toward indie, '80s stuff, and classic rock, but it had Tokio Hotel, Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot, and Paramore, too. If they land a few 2015 radio hits they'll be fine.

Also these dumb kids are not even that likely to research the setlist of a music game before they buy it. I doubt that old songs really deterred kids from buying RB3. There were a lot of factors involved. I haven't used any next-gen consoles yet, so I'm not familiar with the shop interfaces, but they need to make buying content as easy as possible for these new games to succeed. Kids gotta be buying DLC like it's iTunes or IAP in a bad mobile game. Like so easy that they buy poo poo on accident sometimes. Really it's messed up if like Candy Crush can make a ton of money and Rock Band can't. Again I have no experience with new consoles so I hope the infrastructure makes this feasible.

The RB3 setlist wasn't hampered by tasteless song selection, it was hampered by indirectly tasteless song selection because a majority of the on-disc songs had to have keys.
