Rock Band 2 Announced...Already..

[Neil]

Rockband 2 has been announced for a September release.

The sequel to the popular "Rockband" game will be hitting the 360 first, with the 'other' platforms getting a release later in the year.

Rockband 1 downloadable content will be compatible with the new game, along with the peripherals. However, "upgraded" instruments will also be available upon release.

DLC aside, along with all of the available tacks from Rockband 1, Rockband 2 should have over 300 songs available to play straight off the bat. You can also expect major improvements to online functionality and a more "party friendly" set-up.

In an interview with IGN, Lead Designer Dan Teasdale had this to say:

"We've taken almost everything people have asked for in Rock Band and added it to Rock Band 2, as well as including some "first time ever" features."

Rockband 2 should debut at E3 this coming July.

What the hell are they thinking >.< It's only just come out in the UK and they're releasing a new one, luckily people can still use the Rock band 1 instruments and DLC but it seems so pointless to be honest =/

Omg, thats so sad!
Harmonix are pathetic and money hungry, im disgusted tbh.
More money to waste and people aren't going to settle with the first game are they? obviously gonan want the next one. I can't believe they are going to release 2 games in the same year. Wow, i was looking forward to the wait:rolleyes:

[Kardan]

It's not 2 games in a year; the game was released last year in the US... And the UK will probably have to wait another 6 months after the US date once again...

I'll be buying it anyway

I'm a bit like.. :@ but really it has been a year for the US (apart from the wii version which came out last weekend there..). I'll just get the game.


ALL THE DLC IS CROSS-GAME COMPATIBLE.

Which is brilliant news

God's sake, there's still people saving for the first one, now they're flinging another Rock Band of equal price? :S
