Clarity on Rock Band 3 (Or The Lack Thereof)

I hope they wait a while for Rock Band 3. Their weekly stream of DLC will keep fans pleased and revenues flowing. Don't bother with RB3 until it can provide significant changes.

How do I play guitar now, Jeff?

Maybe legos gone the wholehog and just bought harmonix

This just in....Alex Rigopulous has moved to Activision to work on Guitar Hero: World Tour 2

Good, I'm pretty done with buying more music game related shenanigans that aren't DLC, between the horrible misstep that was buying GHWT full kit with faulty drums and squeeky guitar and the fact that I never play it anymore since i got RB2, and buying an ION kit and a rock pedal and oh god someone make it all stop!

Madness.

He didn't stabb a guy in Vegas? I thought that was had to be true.

Good for Harmonix. Too bad that cash cow Guitar Hero is no where near the idea of stopping annual games. Oh right Activision is milking it dry, I forgot.

Maybe now they'll add something. Good thing it is more than one year apart.

I personally wouldn't trust Geoff Keighley's twitter or Geoff Keighley in general.

"Etc, etc, etc" that means a "King and I" edition of Rock Band.  You heard it here first.

I think this is a good move. Meanwhile, Neversoft and Activision will continue to milk the GH series as much as they can.

I will be fine waiting for another Rock Band as long as the DLC content is great. Roy Orbision is great, now we need some Pink Floyd and CHUCK BERRY! Don't ignore your roots!

Bravo to all respective players (Harmonix, MTV Games, ERTS, etc., etc., etc.) for showing no sign (so far) of putting all its efforts into the Beatles game and, more importantly, daring to separate itself from the new evil publishing empire, i.e. Activision.  Judging by the fixes made in RB2 over RB, I say the sudden turnaround is highly justifiable, and now, like others are saying, the game can survive via DLC another 18 months EASILY.  I would not be surprised if this announced game plan is the result of the idea that the economic hardships from 2008 will more greatly influence what holiday shoppers will do for 2009.

Lets just hope Harmonix dosen't like the single-band game, and starts releasing "Rock Band: Metallica" or some such nonsence......

When I read the headline, i thought that they meant they were going to feature the Jimmy Eat World album called "Clarity" on Rock Band 3. Silly me.

Considering the fact that stores and people's houses are full with either Rock Band or Guitar Hero games and peripherals, it's no stretch to say that this particular market is saturated. I think Harmonix is doing the right thing here. Looking forward to the DLC though.

OH MY GOD ROCK BAND 3 HAS BEEN CANCELED!

Hopefully we won't be hearing any more 20 minute discussions on Rock Band on the bombcasts in 2009, those were always the most boring part.

Good thing you cleared that up, I seriously could see Alex stabbing someone from Neversoft over Gutair Hero, that guys gangsta!

this type of news is way too predictable...
