Rock Band 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

Re: Rock Band 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

Nah, just the five buttons. I know with the new freestyle you'll be promted to use the buttons on the bottom of the neck of the RB4 controller. Just wondering if we can still use it with just five buttons.

I think they've said it'll work, it just won't prompt you for any use of the lower fret buttons.

Anyone that is getting the game feel free to add me on PSN. Same name as my OS name. Would really like to play online with some other players. Just let me know in the request that you are from OS

No online band play at launch. Sorry, pal.

Re: Rock Band 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

Just submitted my video for the Rock Band Road Crew.

https://rockband.com/roadcrew

It's basically a street team type of thing where they want you to post to social media and talk about RB to promote it. They're picking up to 500 people, and those who get picked will get a full band box before release. Doing the social posting earns "points" to redeem on their site for a variety of rewards. I'm open to social marketing if I can get a free band bundle out of it.

The video has to be between one minute and 3:30, tell why you'd be a good pick for the program, show some footage of you and friends playing, and contain the phrase "impressive solo" somewhere in it. Check more details on the terms page of the link above.

Submissions in by next Sunday. Winners informed on the 18th.

Thanks for the reply. Think I may just buy the guitar bundle. Played rb3 for the first time in almost a year and I think it maybe time to retire my guitar hero world tour guitar. And get something more updated.

I know what you're saying. I'm still on a RB1 guitar myself. The tilt doesn't work and I have to keep throwing a rubber band on to hold the whammy bar in check, but the buttons still work.

Was planning on getting the guitar bundle too, but some financial stuff came up recently that killed my gaming budget so I honestly don't even know if I'd be getting RB4 right now unless I get accepted for their Road Crew program. I am pretty confident though. Not that my video was that good, but I don't know that 500 people are going to record a video to send so I might get in by default, lol. Obviously it's easy as hell to record yourself nowadays, but I saw a lot of comments across different places where people were put off by having to do "work".

Re: Rock Band 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

So I was going to buy the bundle with the new guitar but I know my wife will say I'm cheating because I use the new guitar and she has to use the old one, so I figure I'll buy her a new one too....however I cannot find any options to buy either one game with two guitars or a standalone new guitar, wtf?

This is Xbox One

Re: Rock Band 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

I asked them on Twitter and then found another twitter response to the same question.

This is going to make reused old instruments popular for a bit I think, I wanted a second guitar too.

Re: Rock Band 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

Got accepted to the Road Crew mentioned on the last page. Not sure when I'll get the game (just sometime before launch), but obviously I'll answer any questions when that day comes.

Re: Rock Band 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

can't wait for this game. it says in the rockband 4 faq that the cymbal kit will be available at launch but i'm still waiting for a place i can order it from to hopefully get it as soon as possible.

Re: Rock Band 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

I'll backtrack from my previous statement of answering ANY question, haha. I'll answer as many as I can. Like, if there are any questions about potential scoring differences I wouldn't be able to answer those well because I play more for the songs than the scores.

But as this is Harmonix's street team marketing thing, I'm planning on posting pics or quick videos of stuff. As long as people don't mind me taking a night or so to get a feel for the menus things should be good.

My plan assuming I got in this was going to be some character creation stuff for anyone interested, just because that hasn't been touched on too much. Then probably some freestyle solo stuff to show off some cool sounds. Might stream thru PS4 if my upload speed is decent. It's been crappy for SharePlay lately, but I've never streamed thru PS4 so I don't know the minimums or anything. I'll look into it.

People could probably check out Rock Band's forums when the bundles start coming in too. I'm sure a ton of people are going to be streaming and posting stuff.

can you see if the freestyle solo will work with last gen guitar hero guitars? That would be great if you can.

Re: Rock Band 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

If I can get my hands on one to test it out, sure. Got rid of mine at a yard sale last year but I'll hit up some friends and see if they've got anything laying around.

This is from Harmonix's FAQ though. Might have what you're looking for?

Q: I have a guitar that only has 5 buttons on it but I’m REALLY excited to try out those Freestyle Guitar Solos. How is this going to affect my gameplay when I play Rock Band 4?

A: Fear not, rockers! Rock Band 4 will support 5-button guitars, including Freestyle Guitar Solo functionality! Because these guitars do not operate with solo buttons, the types of sounds you can create will be limited. However, the game will be able to fully recognize the guitar’s limitations and will never give you unachievable prompts during the Freestyle Guitar Solo sections. You will be scored in the same manner as those who are able to use a 10-button guitar for Freestyle Guitar Solos. Simply put, you will be able to play Freestyle Guitar Solos to the full extent that it can be played on the 5 main buttons of the guitar.
