Rock Band 2 Trailer – Foo FightersRock Band 2 Trailer – Foo Fighters
If you’re a rock band fan, you’ll want to checkout their new hype wagon trailer. Nothing new here, really, looks like they’ve added some “70’s style” effects to the character animations on certain areas. The Rock Band 2 title seems to adopt much from its original game in terms of graphics, rendering and overall design.
Notice the fret board looks the same, they’re sticking with the “square” pattern matching boxes for playing specific notes/beats. Some folks prefer the Guitar Hero “circle” patterns but so be it, they’re sticking with their current design. Hopefully, they’ll glow the hammer-ons or make them a bit more apprant because many Guitar Hero folks have a steep learning curve with the smaller notes for hammer-ons.

We’re lucky to have a lot of talented friends in the game industry and today we’re lucky to be able to share a new video show from Jerry Bonner. I asked if we could show off their new show, Game Time, and get a little audience response from the show and its content. Personally, I think it makes a great addition to the game industry and New Media in general, teaches something to people while entertaining at the same time.
So, here is the pilot, Episode 1: Solid Steve vs. The M-Rated Games:
