QuoteQ: When is RB4 coming out?!
A: Rock Band will be out this year. Stay tuned for more specifics in the coming months.

Q: What consoles is RB4 coming out for?
A: Rock Band 4 will be released for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Q: Why not Wii / Wii U / PC?
A: Due to shifting production priorities and capabilities of the studio, we don’t currently have plans to release RB4 on the Wii / Wii U / PC simultaneously with Xbox One and PS4. While we genuinely appreciate the support of Wii Rock band users over the years, and the increased interest from PC gamers, the truth is that we had to prioritize opportunities on other platforms with historically larger RB audiences.

Q: Will my old DLC work on the next gen console of the same type, i.e. PS3 -> PS4?
A: Yes! Content purchased from the store or exported from a disc will transfer over to the new generation of consoles at not addition cost as we make that content available.

Q: Will my old DLC work if I bought a different next gen console, i.e. Xbox 360 -> PS4?
A: Cross platform DLC compatibility is not entirely within our control, as DLC ownership is managed by the 1st parties.

Q: Will my old hardware work?
A: We’re already working closely with Mad Catz, Sony, and Microsoft on solutions for letting you use legacy hardware on new consoles. This is a challenge on both the software side and hardware side, but something we’d love to happen. We’ll have more information on this in the coming months.

Q: Will you be making new hardware?
A: Yes we will! You can preorder a new PAX East exclusive guitar if you come by the Harmonix booth! We’re working with Mad Catz, who has a lot of history with RB gear, and we’re excited to get more instruments back into the world.

Q: Will there be any new instruments, i.e. a tuba, accordion, mouth harp, etc?
A: We’re concentrating on the core band that people are most familiar with (guitar, bass, drums, and mic) rather than expanding on the types of playable instruments in RB4.

Q: What will the new Rock Band cost?
A: Sorry, but we’re not talking about pricing at this time.

Q: What instruments will be playable? Wiill RB4 have Pro guitar and keys?
A: Rock Band 4 will focus on the core experience and the roots of the franchise â€" guitar, bass, drums, and vocals. There will be no Pro Guitar or key support in Rock Band 4. We will continue to support “Pro” mode for Drums.

Q: What are the new features?
A: We’re not quite ready to reveal the evolutionary features of Rock Band 4, but we’re excited to show you in the coming months how we’re expanding the core gameplay you love.

Q: Will you be bringing back [Random Feature X]?
A: We’re not quite ready to reveal the feature set of Rock Band 4 yet, but keep posted for more info!

Q: Will you have songs by [Random Band X]?
A: We’re not talking about the disc soundtrack just yet, but you can bet it’ll be awesome. Over 2000 songs spanning over 500 artists already exist in Rock Band catalog and we’re committed to expanding that and supporting the game post-launch with DLC, and we’re always looking for new bands and sounds, so keep the suggestions coming! Let us know what you want at RockBand.com/request

Q: When will you have more news about RB4?
A: Soon! Keep posted to our social channels and the Harmonix forums for updates.

Q: When can I preorder RB4?
A: You can sign up for preorder notifications right now at RockBand.com/preorder!

my main problem will be that i want to get a ps4, but all my previous RB stuff was on 360.

I suppose I can keep my 360 stuff around ( i would anyway) and just kinda start with a clean slate on ps4

yeah. best case scenario is that they find a way to transfer dlc from microsoft to sony, but I'd still have to buy new instruments.
hopefully ps3 peripherals are supported so it at least might cost less

I also have this issue but I have enough rock band dlc to keep me loyal... Like... way too much.

sucks though because I hate the xbone and want to play persona 5 on ps4

Post by: Mando Pandango on October 02, 2015, 09:56:27 AM
This game is gonna rock casual party socks, but just so you know the competitive guys are PISSED about some stuff

-No practice mode
-no ION drum support
-no online co-op (or competitive, but neither did RB3)
-no detailed results screen (no note streak shown means FCs need videos to be officially verified)

-no overdrive button on PS4 guitars

The last one is the biggest because it can't just be patched and it basically means guitarists on PS4 aren't going to be competitively viable

The rest will probably get patched in eventually but JFC Harmonix

still need practice mode, but this is looking good

Also, harmonix flew out a top-tier drummer to Boston for live feedback to try to get everything working properly at all skill levels. Read about it here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Rockband/comments/3t2mrk/my_day_at_the_harmonix_studio/

Quote from: IBitePrettyHardHarmonix flew me up to Boston for the day to help diagnose the drum issues and playtest some new features. I had already been helping Harmonix for some time, testing and providing feedback online, but they had some new stuff to show me and wanted to give me a chance to work alongside their technicians. Sweet! They kept me very busy, bouncing from one department to another for 7 hours straightdrum testing, showing me how stuff works, playtesting new features, playing new DLC, more drum testing, and all while getting my feedback on everything. It didnt feel like workI was giddy as a schoolgirl!
I signed an NDA, so much of what Im going to say will be vague. I can give you a few morsels of information though and tell you what it was like. And yes, there was cake.
First, I got to meet the crew and they were all really cool. (no Boston accents though, what a disappointment) I started by giving the team lots of feedback regarding the direction of the game, features that need to be added, potential UI adjustments, bug reports, lots of drum related stuff, etcI didnt hold back and they were very receptive. It was a lot easier to say all this to their face than I expected.
They gave me a tour of the place, and I had tons of nerdy questions and they answered pretty much all of them. The architecture of Rock Band is incredibly complex. Some of our discussions led down a rabbit hole and made my head explode. Ive taken game design/programming courses in school so I thought I knew how complex game development was, but this Holy Shit. Adding even the smallest features can be a huge undertaking. Thinking about it makes my head hurt so instead of explaining it, this picture should give you a good idea. Needless to say, I have a whole new appreciation for everything they do.
The majority of my time was spent testing the drums for the hardware/engineering guys, trying to determine why the drums feel off. They used some fancy telemetry to analyze my drumming in-game, it was pretty neat. We concluded that the internal timings of the drums needed adjustmentbasically the drum kit is slightly out of sync with itself, and it wasnt something that could be fixed with the calibration options. I dont know the timeline for the update or whether itll happen before the Dec 8th updatebut rest assured, its getting fixed!
We also concluded the calibration options for RB4 work slightly different than in RB3. The team is debating whether to make the minor change or keep it the way it is. Neither way is wrong, its just a matter of what causes the least confusion.
The overall latency of the instruments is a different story however. I had a very insightful conversation with their engineering guru about this. Its incredibly complex, but I think I can sum it up by saying the PS4 and Xbox One each have their own separate issues in their architectureand the end result is about the same amount of latency on each. HMX can only tweak a small part of the data train before the rest is out of their hands and handled by the consoles. Yes I know, Im having trouble wrapping my head around the idea that the newer consoles are slower than the old ones. Im going to talk with the engineer about it a little more just in case theres some undiscovered solution.
Regarding the pads dropping notes after the most recent firmware updateI have not had this issue myself, my RB4 pads worked fine for me after the firmware update. So because of that I really couldnt approach HMX about it. I have seen some mention on other threads that it might be an issue with either Bluetooth or the firmware update software making you think you updated but you didnt. Dont quote me on that, but its worth checking out.
I told them about the drum scoring glitch. (that easily gets you an extra 15-20k points on average) I strongly encouraged them to reset the leaderboards once its fixednobody wants to see 98% scores that are 20k higher than anyone with an FC. They havent made a decision but it looks like they wanted to hear from the community first. I told them you would all agree!
As for Ion/ekit compatibility on Xbox One, I learned about the technical hurdles surrounding it and I can say flat outgetting wired controllers to work is totally out of their hands. However, I do have some ideas on what we can do and Ill make another post about it soon.
Regarding the December update, I saw a new game mode (that I got to playtest) and several new features and enhancements. I gave them plenty of feedback on what I liked or didnt like, it was fun! The only thing I can say is that the game mode is something that hasnt been seen before in a RB game. There are a few other features in particular that are decidedly very small, but they have me very excited. They might not be a big deal to some people, but for competitive players they will be!
They have changed the note highway to be less transparent, so notes should be easier to see. Im guessing itll be on the Dec update.
They also showed me some awesome songs that havent been announced yet. I got to sightread them right in front of the guys who charted the songs, how cool is that? Can't say what they are, but theyre very challenging and a lot of people will like them. In my book, its easily the best DLC since RB4 launched.
Everyone I worked with at Harmonix was awesome, not a bad one in the bunch. They all have a good sense of humor toowhile I was playing the new songs, HMXThrasher said itd be cool to see you and Billtvshow play these songs together on Twitch! I immediately spun the drum throne around to all the HMX employees who were watching behind me and said That would be cool! If only there wasI dunnoa system or mechanism that allowed me to do thatyou know, like over the internet. I was greatly outnumbered so I'm glad they laughed.
By the way, did you know TSA agents are huge fans of Rock Band? They were super excited to see every piece of RB equipment I had in my bags.

I haven't seen the songs from that pack, but I haven't looked in a while.
Eventually, everything should be available.

also, now that i think about it, those songs were not available as seperate DL's in the store, but you should be able to get them once they figure out how to access on-disc transfers from the first 3 games like they said they are

RB4 PC funding failed miserably, who would have thought.


like honestly, did they really think they would get anywhere near 1.5 million on a poorly advertised, 3rd party hosted funding campaign with shitty rewards for an 1-2 year post-launch pc-port of arguably the worst rock band game?
