Here's What You Can Expect in Rocksmith's 2014 Edition

The last one had major lag that made it unplayable, I hope they fixed that.

OMG OCTOBER. I was expecting this for next year, but apparently sports videogames have educated other franchises to put the next year as title!

Sounds great to me, the sooner the better. :D

Wow, am I the only one that thought this was an advert for Apple product when it started playing?

Rocksmith 1 is directly responsible for me buying a fucking Gibson Les Paul Standard today (because it made me start playing guitar again when it came out on PC), so this better be fucking awesome.

Yay, no menus! I liked rocksmith but those menus kept me from playing as often. Is the cable the same no matter what platform? So I could use the one from the 360 version on PC?

@spoogemcduck: yes

As someone who bought the original and had problems with it... this is seriously amazing. They fixed nearly everything wrong with it. Now here's hoping the song selection is even greater and more awesome!

@scaramoosh: The lag was probably introduced by you're setup; there's a reason Rocksmith tells you to use analog audio out.

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking, thank you.

@schrodingers: So... No USB headset then?

I actually really liked the original Rocksmith, got a lot better at playing the bass thanks to it. This looks like a great update, I'm definitely getting it.

@lego_my_eggo: Yeah I know what you mean. Personally I wish they would let you select something on screen by playing a note or a chord or something, but the game is still awesome regardless lol

This is my most highly anticipated game, even more so than GTA 5. I loved the original and learned a lot, but the menus drove me mad, as did the way they executed riff repeater and other learning tools. I can't wait for this game -- I'd easily pay $200 to own it.

This game is THE MOST FUN I've had playing video games ever, as someone who started playing guitar in response to how much fun Guitar Hero was. Every change he talks about is a big deal. Note detection, no loading screens, custom-set difficulty, built-in riff repeater, even the master mode (which was a meh feature to me) sounds intriguing with the way it's done.

I pre-ordered it. And I know where my next 300-odd hours of gameplay are going once this is out.
