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

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair
    • If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
