Green Day Rock Band

Grrr, my correction senses are tingling

Lookout! Does not own ANY Green Day rights. Green Day took them back in 05 after being stiffed on royalty fees. The problem is it was recorded on an inferior media, most likely cassettes, which degrade after time. It's now been 20 years...they are most definitely not mixing quality.

Distribution rights and Music rights are 2 completely different things. What reprise acquired was the distribution rights. SInce Reprise are now the ones distributing the albums, they get paid by the retailers for the albums and then they give lookout their cut for the music rights and guaranteeing Green Day their cut of the deal which was NOT happening through the prior engagement.

And besides, if it was JUST the masters being unusable, Harmonix would have said so (like they did with the Beatles. They said the masters were flat out unusable, until Apple Corp. went back and did the expensive and time consuming process of digitally isolating each individual instrument, which is why it took 3 years for the Beatles deal to fall into place) instead of using the blanket statement of "we couldn't get access to the master recordings"

beatles rock band was a flop compared to their other games because that was focused more for the hardcore beatles fan.

*facepalm*

You know what I'm not even gonna bother, maybe if ignore all the morons who think the Beatles was a flop compared to RB and RB2, they'll all just disappear

Love the Longview video. There's meant to be an arrow pointing up above the "Stupid" on Billie's shirt though. Seriously, they've copied every other exact detail of the shirt so how did they manage to miss the arrow?! And he used to wear trousers about 6 inches too short for him......not long perfectly fitting bootcut trousers :P

I like the crazy faces they put in, they did a lot of Billie's mannerisms really well. They're not often enough or extreme enough though :lol:. And not nearly enough crazy faces/movements from Mike and Tre. Mike barely even moves.

So yeah it's cool and it captures the band well, but kind of like a really calmed down version. Not that I'll be looking at anything but the fret board thing when I'm actually playing the game!

they have caveman hands. Caveman hands! Is it like that in all of the Rock Band games or did they just decide to give Billie and Mike hands the size of a dinner plate for the hell of it?

sorry, I just notice it SO MUCH in every single picture and video :lol:

oh and for the rest I agree with Hermoine, they captured the band well. But I can't get over those damned hands! xD

I would be willing to financially support that with an increased cost in the game.

If they left in "masturbation" I really doubt there will be much censored in this game except for the obvious four letter worlds, thank goodness. :thumbsup:

Still can't believe the DLC thing.

He is probably talking about RB2 not GD RB

Oh man, thanks a lot for the link!!

"So, we’re going to have more stuff going through the pipeline later, like the old records once we get them on digital and get the stems. Hopefully, we’ll come up with some new looks."

What do you think, does Tré mean just new songs with that "new looks", or is it like, new venues and character outfits? :) This interview was a great little sneak peek!

Posted

^ I hope he means new avenues and outfits as well.

that'd be the most obvious thing to do with older songs

Harmonix wouldnt have done this, its all about money in the gaming world, to make more games

thats why they didnt release a special edition with instruments. beatles rock band was a flop compared to their other games because that was focused more for the hardcore beatles fan. this game is focused on the average fans, with the three most popular albums. trust me, i wanted all the albums too, but the costs of licensing fees and the cost of all the songs, art work and all that crap would have been substantial

Yes, i realise this. But i don't think you understood that it was only me imagining a perfect game.

Still, i think that if you are gonna make a game based on a bands career, you gotta do it right, and not just what seems enough to satisfy the average player.

That interview is awesome :lol: And it's got some nice info, too.

Thanks for posting!

Has this interview with Tre been posted? Really interesting, according to this, we will eventually see the old albums, they just have to convert the old tapes to digital.

Thanks a lot for posting, there's hope for the older albums! :woot: Great interview btw. *fingers crossed for Going to Pasalacqua and Christie Road.. And Paper Lanterns and At The Library and.. All of them.*

"I don’t know if you’re old enough to remember but MTV used to be a music channel! [Laughs]" So true xD

Thats great news, so its now my understanding that there WILL be DLC??

No one can say anything until we know the game sells well, if not it will be regular Rock Band DLC. But if the guys at Harmonix wanted to make it happen they could. No one can really say anything about it yet. I couldn't care even if they said they aren't planning to make any, its never to late to start, and I can see it happening if there is the demand for it.

It's starting to be a rare thing, to see games these days that don't get any DLC, Especially music games! its one of those things that are really big now, and I know for a fact its possible.

I mean, really... the game hasn't even been released yet. No one can say "yes there will be" or "No there won't be". It is a possibility, and that's all anyone can really say at the moment.

Since no one has pointed it out yet I'd just like to say...ONE MONTH UNTIL RELEASE! To break that down, that means.

31 days till release

OR

744 hours

OR

44,640 minutes

OR

2,678,400 seconds

Thats pretty damn close guys...

Thank you! :D

well then, my math is out the window, thanks. :rolleyes:

So what's everyone think of the Basket Case trailer?

I just saw it and am actually not as impressed. It didn't seem to have the same kind of energy as the Longview one...like it was hollowed out. It could just be the fact I'm drinking soda though and lots of it. If I could change one thing it would be the lack of facial expressions, though they are a bit better then most games out there.

I can't believe its already almost here! :blink:

I love the way the vocals sound in Basket Case
