Talk:Rock Band 2

Okay... we now have a confirmation that there WILL be a second Rock Band.

Should we start to at least sculpt this into a legitimate Wiki page? Razer922 (talk) 08:07, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

"Drain You", by Nirvana

While it can be told by the lyrics of the gameplay screenshot, I don't believe this is in anyway a confirmation of the song being a track in the game. Also, I do not believe a single song, even the first confirmed, to be relevant to the article.Phoenixmuffin (talk) 10:44, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

North American vs United States

The release dates for Rock Band in the US and Canada were not the same. Given that prior, I believe it is presumptuous to say September 2008 is the North American release date for the Xbox 360 edition of Rock Band 2 and that September is probably exclusive to the United States.Phoenixmuffin (talk) 11:33, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

200 songs in the game?

From this page:

Teasdale suggests that between existing dowloadable content and on-disk songs, there will be over 200 songs available for Rock Band 2, 120 of them in the game disc itself.

I read the article on IGN and this doesn't seem to be the case. Teasdale says that there currently ARE 200 songs available for Rock Band, which is true. Here's the quote:

"Rock Band 2 has the strongest playlist we've ever assembled, and I think fans will be blown away not just at the spread, but also at the caliber of acts we've attracted.

We also have over 200 songs available right now, between our on-disc content and DLC. If you want more classic rock, I highly recommend downloading the Boston and Grateful Dead six-packs that we released."

From what I can see, there's no mention of how many songs are on the disc specifically anywhere in the article. Someone pulled the 80 songs thing out of nowhere, apparently. --Jheimendinger (talk) 07:51, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

I don't know where that 120 number came from, I'll take it out. --MASEM 13:36, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

The "80 songs" information comes from this article. - The second edition will feature a playlist of over 80 songs — all master recordings — which will include more female-fronted bands and artists who have never contributed tunes to a music game. -- TRTX ^{T / C} 16:22, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

New IGN article

I'm not sure if anyone's added this article yet, but there's lots of good stuff in it:

Yup, that article's in here (not that URL, but the same write up from US IGN) --MASEM 13:37, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

RB2 "Leak" on X-Play

I wouldn't call it a leak since it appaers to be from coverage of the follow up, but here we go: RB2 Songs + DLC. We've used Xplay as a source before, I'll see if I can find it on G4's site anywhere. -- TRTX ^{T / C} 00:47, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I removed the song listing. Kotaku.com also listed a screenshot, but the tracks aren't set in stone. I suppose if someone wanted to start a 'rumored' set list that would be different (my opinion), but I'd rather not get my hopes up with songs that may not be on the disc but appear a DLC, or even worse, don't make the cut at all. Teancum (talk) 12:59, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I think we are going to need to add it; anon IPs will continue to add it judging by the DLC track list leak until it is mentioned. While Kotaku is not be considered 100% reliable, all they are doing here is reiterating information from a forum post that is definitely from the X-Play gaming update show, however, I can find no picture of that screen in the online versions of the Gaming Update for either 6/30 and 7/1 shows from G4's site (not aware how G-4 operates, I dunno if they do multiple GUs through the day and only post one to the site, or if they had to edit that out at some point). But I think it needs to be there with qualification just to avoid editing nightmares. --MASEM 13:33, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I'll check G4's site occasionally to see if that ever gets put up. I know they had a story on Still Alive a while back that they put up there. So if we're lucky that'll happen and then we'll have our official source. -- TRTX ^{T / C} 13:38, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for putting them in the "Unconfirmed" section. That seems fair and aughta make everyone happy. Teancum (talk) 14:34, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Second Batch of Leaked Songs

Someone at scorehero.com claims to have played new songs on Rock Band 2 according to G$ here is the link http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/686712/More_Rock_Band_2_Tracks_Leak.html?utm_source=g4tv&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=TheFeed

The Soundtrack should be a separate article from the Rock Band 2 information.
