IGN: At E3 2010, Harmonix revealed that they would be bringing the music game genre to a whole new level with the addition of Pro Mode, a new gameplay component that would not only allow you to emulate real musicians, but help you on your way to becoming one. The concept brings together software implementation and radical new hardware design, which involves creating new control schemes via wholly new instrument controllers that mimic their real-life counterparts but also produce functional in-game results.
To assist them in creating these controller solutions, MTV Games and Harmonix teamed up with Mad Catz to design and produce the new Wireless Keyboard Controller and Fender Mustang Pro Guitar Controller, as well as implementing a few notable tweaks to the Rock Band Microphone and Wireless Drum Kit. IGN was given an opportunity to take an extended look at the new hardware and how they performed in a real-life gameplay environment
Dave writes: "Hopefully time will be kind to Rock Band 3. It’s the equivalent of a Blade Runner or Van Gogh, unappreciated and undersold in its own time, but something that has undeniable quality. We may never see another Rock Band, no encore to this great series, but in Rock Band 3 and Rock Band 4, we got some pretty awesome final tracks."
This week Omari (@OmariAkil) from @bgbrothas makers of #RapGodz joins Mike (@AssaultSuit) and Aaron (@Ind1fference) to talk about: Rap Godz and the Sonic the Hedgehog movie in addition to a plethora of board games and video games.
Joe Y writes: With server closures, glitches, and broken patches, many games have unobtainable achievements and trophies. Here are the top 10 you can't 100% anymore.
"It sounds simple enough, but due to the expiration of licenses, one of the four songs, Promised Land by Vesuvius, is no longer available to download. If you previously had it downloaded, it will *not* be taken away, so you'll still be able to grab this one."
Well damn it. I really dig that song from The Rocker and I did not know it was in RB3. I stopped playing after RB2.
Online achievement/trophies are dumb. I’m not sure why they still include them. I recall the modern warfare games were applauded for not including them.
Unless the game is an online only game because what choice is there at that point.
Half of these are false .. The Evolve one can still unlocked... Ghostbusters is only unachievable on PS3 its still online on 360.. Destiny 2 one is only unobtainable for a while as said by bungie... GTAV one can still be unlocked too in a private game. And the Black Ops 3 one can still be unlocked using a few different methods. Guy who wrote this is clueless.
When a games server goes offline then they should allow users to create their own p2p servers to keep these games active. They should also unlock or delete the trophies from any list to those who havent got them.
I can think of a few honorable mentions. there is one for smartglass seeing as smartglass is now defunct. there is also ones for 1v100 and dorito crash course 2 since both of those games are also defunct.
Damn I was not into buying new equipment after the GHWT bandset I bought but seeing this sick guitar that AT LAST looks as my real ones, 6 steel snares, 17 frets and 102 positions to put the fingers on... Hell yes!
Good to see that kids will be more educated towards a real instrument this way also. For the keyboard I'll just want the announced Midi connector that connects my Line 6 KB37 to the 360/RB3. Hawt!
You may as well just learn to play an instrument.
I'm more interested in the Fender Squire Strat
Im tired of these games lol
how do u play regular guitar in the game though? i never knew. theres no colored buttons or a strum bar or anything. so how do u play like in rock band 2?
