Title: Rock Band Update - New Music Store (in-game!) and BWT updates
Post by: demi on March 20, 2008, 02:00:40 PM

The patch will also bring a revision to the game’s Band World Tour mode in the form of what Drake kept referring to as a raised "pop cap." What he was referring to are the number of fans that can be obtained on easier difficulty levels before hitting a ceiling. This allows players on Easy, Medium, and Hard difficulty settings to progress further and with more ease, opening up a wider range of venues, and allowing players on Hard to obtain the "One Million Fans" achievement.

YES.

Additionally, selecting each song will bring up its corresponding album’s artwork and – are you sitting down? -- you’ll also have ability to preview songs before you purchase them. No more hopping on iTunes or YouTube to jog your memory of a song, a small sample of the tune will be cached on your hard drive for easy reference.

I want a single player BWT mode. As often as I can get my wife and friends to play with me, I'd still love to be able to go through it on my own.

The only solution so far is to set up one instrument, and sing as well

HELLS YES.  The in-game music store was big on my wish list.  Now we just need them to implement solo career playlists! :P

ugh, yeah I just found em in the PSN content thread on GAF

glad I'm not in the country

in-game music store looks fucking hot--I thought we'd have to wait for Rock Band 2 to see it. otherr incremental improvements look good, too, inc. mic latency on PS3 (sometimes really notable)

Last couple of weeks have been blah.  Harmonix needs to hurry up and get a Queen Pack on there for I burn their building down. I'm not asking for much, just a 6-song pack with Fat Bottom Girls, Flash, Princes of the Universe, You're My Best Friend, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, and Tie Your Mother Down to get started with plz.

Next week's Boston Pack is hottnesssss

As for the music store, not all is perfect.  It doesn't detect that I've bought Paramore's song (I have, I'm even on the friggin' leaderboards for PS3 drums) and although you can buy through the music store interface, they seem to have neglected adding an option to actually do the (PS3-only) required install of the song without exiting the game back to the XMB.  Whoops.  Seems like something they will patch in, though.

The caching of DLC is nifty tho.

I'm buying Rock Band this summer. That settles it.

I swear, the best music game keeps getting fucking better. Harmonix is TOTALLY kicking Activision/Neversoft's ass on DLC as well.

I bought 1600 points today. I imagine I'm going to spend most of it on RB songs unless something good is coming out on XBLA this week.
