Rock Band 3 Confirmed For Holidays

News | May 21, 2010 8:49 am
By Xitl
Apparently the third one is to hit shelves by holiday 2010, last 2 were great, what does everyone think, going to be be good or bad

Source



After devoting last year's installment of the Rock Band franchise entirely to The Beatles, Harmonix and MTV Games are getting back to their roots. The pair announced via Facebook today that Rock Band 3 is set for release this holiday season. Electronic Arts will once again be handling distribution duties.


EA, MTV Games, and Harmonix are ready for an encore.
The Facebook status update promises that Rock Band 3 "will innovate and revolutionize the music genre once again," but provides no other details. Platforms, new features, song lists, and other details will be revealed at a later date.

While it will have been two years since Rock Band 2 hit shelves, the rhythm franchise has not been inactive. In addition to the Beatles game and weekly updates to the downloadable catalog of songs, last year saw the series try to broaden its appeal with Lego Rock Band, and this year will see punk act Green Day receive its own dedicated game. Harmonix also just launched the Rock Band Network, a separate (and more open-ended) online storefront that allows all manner of independent artists (and some of their studio counterparts) to make their songs downloadable, provided they take care of the developmental heavy lifting.

i guess i'll be looking forward to this. i was going to buy Rock Band 2 but since 3 is just around the corner (sorta), i might as well hold off for that. hopefully my Rock Band 1 drums and Guitar Hero 3 guitar works on it so i can buy just the game only >_>

Seriously though, how many bundles do they think they'll sell? You'd think that most people who play these games that already paid for a bundle aren't gonna shell out for another one. I never got a bundle cause I only play guitar/bass so I'll only be buying the disc.

well, the game is coming out during the holiday season so there will probably be a bunch of parents buying the bundles for the children not knowing that the RB2 bundle they bought the past holiday is essentially the same thing. that's probably where most of the bundle sales will be coming from.

Super excited for this. I'm a huge rhythm game fan, and Rock Band 2 was fantastic. As long as they don't change much Rock Band 3 will be great.

Unless The Game has a New drumset, I probably won't buy the Bundle, just the game

I will DEFINITELY Be Getting this

I might ask for it for Christmas, along with some other rhythm games I don't have yet (GH5, GH:VH, GH:Aerosmith, GH:SH, RB: Beatles + GD), but I probably won't buy anything myself until it's cheaper, as I'm more looking to collect them now. I used to be huge into Guitar Hero and what not, then I just got tired of it. Which is unfortunate, because I'm not as good anymore, either. :(

Hell, who knows if I'll even buy them. GH5 got down to $12.xx on Amazon, and I still didn't bite!

Guitar Hero Aerosmith has some seriously easy achievements in it though. And for the price it's at right now it's worth picking up
