Quoth the Rock Band site: "Use our tools to author playable tracks. Upload and submit your tracks for review by the Rock Band Creators community. Approved tracks become available in the Rock Band Store and on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, and you get a cut of every purchase." So far the creation process sounds a touch complicated, but it's such a good step in the right direction — a lack of creativity was always the one element of Rock Band (and Guitar Hero) that didn't quite jive with the whole musician theme.
What do you think, PopWatchers? Are DIY Rock Band tracks going to be the new hotness, or are you content to play your same old jams?
why the f uck are you going to mention XBOX marketplace without giving a shoutout to PSN…PLAYSTATION STORE TOO WERE NOT SECOND CLASS CITIZENS…EW MARGARET LYONS = XBOX BIASED WTF BOYCOTT CAPS!
guess they figured rock band 2 was such a flop that this would be better than a rock band 3?
I agree w/ Jose… Not very professional of you! Microsoft probably pay you to mention XBOX!
-TL
They mention Xbox because that is the only place to get these tracks. The system relies on Microsoft’s XNA language to work. So at least when this launches it is 360 only.
The idea is great, and a long time coming. We’ll see how the execution goes – that sounds like the hard part.
Let’s see them deal with copyright issues of songs, and whether you sell your rights to the music to Microsoft by putting it up.
what about rock band for the wii? i’d really like there to be more song options for the wii version.
Guitar Hero World Tour already has this feature.
Does Guitar Hero World Tour give the people a cut of the money from downloads?
Guitar Hero World Tour doesn’t charge you to download user created content.
