Casual overkill :p

[morficus]

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:

[popisdead uk]

Has anybody got any pictures of the dash and avatar stuff they are bringing to us? I missed the beginning of the show.

[Smigit]

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!

[Vortex566]

This is a fail so far for me. To me it seems like it's casual heavy!

Theres some pictures a couple pages back

RB2, please announce a track creator (lol fat chance)

Announced for this September

[gigapixels Veteran]

: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.

This song is complete fail.

I can't believe they choose this, and let the whole thing play :laugh:

go back to page 3 or 4

there are some shots of them there

[gigapixels Veteran]

Alright, RB2 news, this is what I've been waiting for.

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...

[what]

GH4: Over 85 songs

RB2: 84 songs

:laugh:

[magik]

RB2 Setlist was shown... tell me somebody screen-grabbed that?! :)

[CY:G]

Wow, so underwhelming, i think its over... SquareEnix Guy goes

[Brad.]

Rockband 2 :|

Omg.. that massive disk-set list

[Ayepecks]

Wow, they're closing with Square Enix? I mean, it's big for some of you here, but they didn't announce crap for games.

What a disappointment :(

[what]

RB2 Setlist was shown... tell me somebody screen-grabbed that?! :)

[CY:G]

Yeah 2007 was way too much, like one of the best E3 ever, of course 2008 feels underwhelming

[Ayepecks]

Still, I expected at least one or two big game announcements.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

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

lol I was hoping for something a lil more readable, but thanks! :)
