Lips is the first game that lets you sing from your own songs. You'll be able to plug in your Zune! Also, your iPod. "Lips breaks new ground by being the first game to let you sing from your own music collection. Lips features wireless, motion sensitive mikes." Now Duffy is singing her own track.

:o

freaking AWESOME!

great for a karaoke game :yes:

WOOO THE ORIGINAL BANJO ON ARCADE!!!!!!!!

Nevermind, i think he was talking about Viva Pinata :(

I interpreted it at Banjo. Would Viva even fall in the size limits of Arcade? Don't see why they would anyway if it's still in retail. I hope it's Banjo anyway.

I wonder how lyrics will work?

Import from txt document or have to input yourself?

Doesn't that effectively destroy DLC? :/ Well I guess the HD videos won't play with a custom song obviously!

Same here... i might have to watch the Keynote again to confirm, im really hoping is Banjo... with updated graphics...

:o really?

track creation means everything to me :p

even if RB2 has more DLC than GH4... you could just CREATE your own tracks and easily surpass the RB2 DLC

this all depends one how the implement this 'track creation' system. But I'm optimistic :yes:

Track creation doesn't do anything for you? Wow, I'm surprised. I think that's the biggest thing in the Rhytm Music games since Rock Band :p

I'd personally rather play the songs I know and love than create my own. It's a cool feature, but it won't make GH4 better than RB2 for me.

What are you talking about? Do you know what that track creator is? The idea (at least on paper) is that you import your songs, any song and add notes to it where you see fit. Essentially, they are the songs that you know and love...

I'm not sure how well it will work out since in RB/GH the tracks are split up (Bass, Drums, Guitar, Vocals) as separate audio. So I'm not sure how you'd implement that in the game, but it may be fun, who knows...

Okay, sorry guys I stopped with the updates, but it just starting getting super casual heavy.

MS obviously is going for the kill here, and they just might have achieved their goal.

Rockband 2 :|

Omg.. that massive disk-set list

Yea, and 20 free bonus tracks to boot!

11:50 am PT: Shane: "Last holiday, we had another great experience: Rock Band. We're thrilled that Rock Band 2 will premiere exclusively on Xbox 360." "It's a real pleasure to be here to talk about Rock Band 2, which is debuting in September. The single most important aspect to the game: the music. The soundtrack includes 84 songs, every single one a master recording. It's the most compelling of all our games.

11:51 am PT: Shackler's Revenge -- from Chinese Democracy! Bob Dylan's "Tangled Up in Blue" ACDC appears exclusively in Rock Band 2, "the single most requested band" -- "Let there be Rock" is their contribution

11:53 am PT: Metallica, Pearl Jam, Devo, Jane's Addiction Modest Mouse, Interpol, they're all here. There will be 20 bonus tracks, available for free download this Fall. All downloaded tracks are forward compatible with Rock Band 2, and the original tracks from RB1 will be able to be imported into the game

    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
    • Depends on what you need. Might be a bit clearer on what you plan to do with it. Sort of a waste if you get the newest and greatest, but don't know how to use it.
