spawn622 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Harmonix and Mad Catz are bringing Rock Band 4 to Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Details: It will be on PS4 and Xbox OneHarmonix intends it to be fully backwards-compatible with ALL plastic instruments you may have already bought back in the mid-late '00s, and is working with Microsoft and Sony to make this a realityAll the DLC you bought for last-gen versions of Rock Band will be carried over (again, depending on the platform holders' co-operation)There will be new instruments to buy if you want to buy them, and people who pre-order them will get exclusive coloursThe new controllers will be largely similar in size and shape to the old ones, as Harmonix still has a relationship with Fender, but they will be identical in functionality: no new bells and whistlesIt's no longer being published by EA – instead, Harmonix is partnering with Mad Catz both to manufacture the new instruments and to distribute the boxed gameRock Band 4 is intended to be a platform that lasts for years rather than the first step in another sequence of yearly releases. It will be continuously updated with new songs, modes, and anything else the community wantsIt will be out during summerThis is great news. Only problem is, I don't own an Xbox One and all my Rock Band songs are on my Xbox 360. Guess I'll be buying an Xbox One this summer. Guess it was inevitable anyway.

PeeKnuckle Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just got an email about this from MadCatz. Looks like they're making controllers (instrument). Glad to see Rock Band putting out another game. I know a handful of people who are super happy today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spawn622 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Mad Catz is actually going to distribute the physical copies of the game with Harmonix, as well as make the instruments. Pretty great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kira Onime Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I kinda wish I owned Rock Band back when it was popular and this new release looks cool but I just don't see myself getting a "next gen" console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dateranoth Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 That reminds me. I think I have a plastic band worth of instruments stashed in the house somewhere. Have to admit, it was a fun time at parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
