just hope that the drum and everything will be compatible

wow sounds awsome

#1

Of course it will, this is Harmonix! the one who does care about more than money...

I might pick this is up when it finally hits

at #3 its EA also lol

@ 3 If they cared less about money than they would have just kept putting new tracks on the original and not bothered doing a sequel much like SONY is doing with singstar!!!! If RB and GH made just one game and all the songs as downloadable content I would definitely buy one of them but it's just a waste of money buying the sequels when there's only a small hand full of songs that you actually like on the list.

just releast the 1st one in europe on somethign other then the 360 ffs, how hard is it, releasing a new ne b4 we even get the 1st will bet lame :P

i never actually got the 1st one (friend of mine did but i never did)

this might actually make me get the 2nd one

all of the tracks from the 1st game & all of the tracks from the 2nd game

plus DLC from both games = WIN

#6 yeah youre probaly right... really didnt think my comment through, the money part was actually not the point, just that harmonix will definetly support the old controllers as well as 3rd party ones

unlock Guitar hero who releases new editions just to get your money.. RB2 is putting in user requested features.  Why don't you wait to see everything that they're adding before whining.

 

Whoa, you can play the songs from the original game (not DLC) in RB2, is that what you're telling me, Mr. Wales?

Harmonix knows how to create brand loyalty just like SONY.Backwards compatibility always kicks ass

Too bad I'm buying Guitar Hero 4 for the better drumset.

Unfortunately they goofed up on reported that.   There is no official word as of yet that you will be able to DL Rock Band 1 songs onto Rock Band 2 for free.   Just about everyone is hoping for it to happen, but we will have to wait till E3

 

As far as the set list rumors: http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/06/rumor-rock-band-2-setlist-leak-uncovered-by-two-sources/ 

I'm buying Rockband 2 for the better.... EVERYTHING.

 

They may be saying you candownload the on disk music form the first game into the second one. Because they keep saying the new game will have new features in regards to music so why not let you use those features with the old songs. As for Cross compatability with DLC that simply rocks regardless of anything else they do.

 they should put a co op battlemode for online. like guitar and drums vs another guitar and drums for a higher score cause thats would be awsome.

@6

I have a feeling they didn't want to, but GH:WT pressured them to make another one. 

@13

Too bad you haven't seen RB2's drums yet.  Don't come to any conclusions yet.

I'm getting GH4 simply for the new drumset, I need more difficulty and an extra pad may be just what I need, but now it looks as though I will be getting RB2 when it comes out as well, I am proud to support developers who are trying really hard to give the people what they want.

Them making another Rock Band this quickly is why I don't buy music games with the exception of DDR. They just came out with the first one not too long ago, and if I was a betting man 1 million dollars says that Rock Band 2 will have the same graphics as the first one with just different downloadable songs and a different modes that they could of done in the first one.

Well that sucks, what a plonker writing about a game he has never seen.

And, jeez, Rock Band 1 is only just out, and we're already talking abut Rock Band 2? The first ine had like, no good songs on it.

Ah, dammit. =/

Why cant they just keep patching the first RB and keep giving it more songs then make a #2? its basicly the samething... Their just taking our money away...
