PS4, XO: Rock Band 4

I still play Rock Band 3 on my PS3. Looks I'll be upgrading systems later this year. No more piano and pro guitar though.

Rock Band 4 Officially Announced

Who ever would’ve guessed?

After much teasing, and multiple surveys, it’s finally official. Rock Band 4 is coming to the Xbox One, and Playstation 4 this year. Not much has been announced yet, but there are a couple of important details:

DLC Carrying Forward: Yes. While they don’t seem to be guaranteeing all of the DLC will transfer, the recently launched page indicates there will be 2,000+ songs available, and that any previously purchased DLC will be available to re-download on the same console family (PS3 will transfer to PS4, and 360 will transfer to Xbox One).

Hardware: There will be new hardware available from MadCatz for the Xbox One, and Playstation 4, including a special Penny Arcade themed guitar that attendees of PAX East this weekend will be able to pre-order. However, Harmonix, and MadCatz are working with Sony, and Microsoft in an attempt to ensure compatibility of old hardware as well.

Keys & Pro Guitar: There will be no support for Pro Guitar, or Keys in Rock Band 4. Pro Drums will continue to be supported.

If I had the room for it I might have considered picking it up. But as it stands I will have to pass. Its gotten good reviews.

drums are my favorite..but I dont even have room for guitars. My wife would kill me (even though she would play it, too, one in a blue moon).

I gave all my old rock band stuff to goodwill.

Drums are my favorite too. I have my fake kit, fake guitar, and real guitar out on display but let's see what my gf says when we move in together next year

Got this on Friday. It's pretty barebones if you've played the others. Luckily Harmonix will patch this game accordingly over time. There's already one due in 2 months but it still won't have online gameplay. The new instruments feel great. The guitar is so nice and comfy on the frets. I still get arthritis after a while but I couldn't stop playing. The drums aren't too different because I'm using my old RB3 cymbals and aftermarket pedal. When the new cymbals come out I'll check them out.
