-The game will feature some, but not all, of the functionality from Rock Band and Rock Band 2. All four instruments (guitar, bass, drums, mic) are used, you can through all 18 songs on your own or in a group, there are score duels and tug of war. However, there's no online capability. If you want to play with your friends, you have to be in the same room. In addition, there's no character creator. I would assume there are set characters you can choose from instead.
-All 19 tracks can be transferred onto a PS3 or 360 hard drive free of charge in order to import them into Rock Band or Rock Band 2. Then they show up like any other downloaded tracks and can be played with all of the game's modes, online or offline.
But this can only be done once per disc. That's MTVs way of preventing someone from sharing a disc with friends, or re-selling it, and essentially engaging in piracy. Seems reasonable to me. Given that songs cost $2 to download online, 18 tracks for $40 is just slightly more than it would cost to buy them online. Not the best deal ever, but not a rip-off either.
-DeGooyer says that AC/DC members chose to put the Live at Donington songs in the game and that MTV enthusiastically agreed. To us it hung together more than cherry picking master recordings, he said. It really is an experience. You put the disc in and you play through a live set.
-No specific word on whether there will be more expansion tracks along these lines. But launching a game like this in concert with an album as part of a big retail promotion fits in with MTV's strategy of integrating Rock Band into the overall music business so that a videogame component becomes a natural part of any product launch or marketing push.
This is a huge statement about our platform and how meaningful it has become, DeGooyer commented We want to be an authentic component of the music business. If a band is trying to get something done, if they've got a great new record or are going on tour, we'd love to be working with them. It could be a DLC pack or something more like this, which is all the bells and whistles.
