Since Jonah Falcon is in London this week, there is no proper episode this week. However, that’s not to say we’re leaving you high and dry, as a new Outtakes episode is here for your listening pleasure, highlighted by Paul’s bile, Paul’s love of Shrinkydinks, and a long conversation between Jordan Lund and Jonah about Rob Liefeld’s Charlie Sheen-like departure from DC Comics.
See you next week when we have a normal episode.
Rock Band 2: Backwards Compatible DLC TooRock Band 2: Backwards Compatible DLC Too
Harmonix, MTV Games and Electronic Arts has announced their next block buster killer app: Rock Band 2. First, the most important feature is backwards compatible downloadable content. They’ve surpassed 15-million paid downloads, we want our content and we want to keep all the awesome songs for future games, else we might as well stop purchasing now, right?
The question remains, will we want to upgrade our instruments? They’re saying we’ll have “more variety of instrument choices than ever before with new and improved drum and guitar peripherals, enhanced functionality and innovative new designs – all fully compatible with the original Rock Band instruments.” Will the enhanced instruments really want to make us go out and buy them?
If these new instruments are highly desirable or add any new features to the game (or make newer features ‘easier’) then we may be persuaded to look into new hardware…yet with Guitar Hero World Tour we’re already pressured into considering another drum unit.
So confusing, but yet so much desired. I guess that’s the love hate relationship of a gamer with a passion and a, slight, addiction!
