I really want a Meat Loaf rock band game.

jcmoorehead · 22 Jul 2010, 19:19

Not really related to Meat being in the game but I guess it is a small glimmer of hope that if they add this they may add Meat but they have just announced for Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock that the entirety of Rush's 2112 will be in it. The entire 20+ Minute epic.

Look out for Rock Band 3 released later this year as it has pro mode which with the Fender controller is in fact real guitar playing and there is a keytar too. It sounds amazing. A Meaty song on there would be terrific.

jcmoorehead · 22 Jul 2010, 21:39

It's not a keytar, It's a keyboard attachment but I believe you can get some sort of attachment to allow it to act as a Keytar

dukesofhazard · 23 Jul 2010, 00:40

You can use it as both keytar & keyboard - i've seen it in action

Hi, this is my first thread so bear that in mind....
Anyways news was leaked yesterday that Paradise by the Dashboard Light will soon be released as a downloadable song for Rock Band 3 (music simulation game).
For those of you who haven't heard of it, it's a rhythm game for Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii, think sort of dance revolution style interface (hitting the colored notes in sequence) with karaoke elements and using plastic imitation instruments.
Speaking from experience the game is a heck of a lot of fun, perfect for parties. It's got over two thousand songs available in the Rock Band library (available either on disc or via downloads) from The Who to Green Day so there's songs catering for everyones tastes old and new.

The fact that Paradise will soon be available couldn't come at a better time for the game, the latest instalment, Rock Band 3 has introduced the use of a keyboard peripheral and the ability to use harmonies which is absolutely perfect for performing the song as a duet with two mics.

Its absolutely fabulous news that Meat is getting his first treatment to the Rock Band platform which will be sure to introduce a whole new generation to his music and hopefully lead to some more of the mighty Loaf's songs being made available.

Here's the leaked news: http://www.rockbandaide.com/10892/me...xt-week-rumor/

Or perhaps even Total Eclipse of THE Heart?

Beyond the valentine's pack (which I will probably get), You can definitely forget any Guitar Hero games/DLC and probably also any further Rock Band games to include Meat Loaf songs now. The Guitar Hero series has been canned completely. The music rhythm games are definitely dying and the era is over.
Rest in Peace. I thought it was all very awesome.

finally. Plat formers are coming back!

robgomm · 10 Feb 2011, 20:00

Don't know if it's of interest but Paradise is being made available on the 15th Feb for this game as it's valentines.

It's way past time Meat was on rockband. If it turns out to be a popular download maybe they will do some more.

Yeah the music genre is fading out now, replaced by the motion sensor activated games. People would rather spend their money on one peripheral motion sensor that can be used over multiple games than on one instrument controller that only works with a limited number of games.

Yeah, the next Guitar Hero has been cancelled and the series hasn't been canned completely but it's certainly not positive. DJ Hero has been delayed for a year though so I don't think the genre is going totally but I think it's a time of transition for it.

That said Rock Band is still going strong with it's Downloadable Content the the RBN.

Here's the charting, super fun to play!

jcmoorehead · 11 Feb 2011, 22:29

Just played through it myself on the Hard difficulty on guitar, was so much fun to play! However it's very very painful too

farmertom · 12 Feb 2011, 18:47

Looks like activision have totally pulled the plug on guitar hero and any further DLC for this game, so Meat wont be coming to this, they are halting DJ hero as the 2nd one hasnt sold very well at all so looks like Meat wont be on there either (tho i dont think he would ever be anyways!), so the only hope is rock band but its future must be doubtful with the pulling of the other two games!

On a side note we had a talk at uni from one of the people at freestyle games that makes DJ hero the other week, he said that the biggest cost they face is not production but licensing for the songs, I think that could be why meat asnt appeared before now coz his songs are well wrapped up in who owns what with Meat, Jim and different record companies so activision will have been staying well clear of more costs and problems with games that dont really make them money!

AndrewG · 13 Feb 2011, 02:03

I will probably get Rock Band 3 in a while and then download the pack. Annoyingly it's not compatible with RB2.

What I hate about those games is that you can't really block out certain songs (except for when you are choosing the setlist of course). I was happily playing some RB2 this evening when I was forced to play one of the most awful songs I've ever heard in musical existence: "Chop Suey" by System of a Down. Of course I failed this in Expert at the very last minute and got mad enough to almost chuck the plastic guitar through the window. I can understand some people might like that song (although maybe not

) but I think some of that stuff is such a specific taste that I honestly don't get why they include shit like that.

I think Band Hero came along too late (bought it a few weeks ago) but the song choices in that are much more generic and thus a bit less hectic therefore I think it would appeal to a wider audience instead of Chop Suey and some other mental rock stuff included in RB and GH over the years.

For those of you who have long awaited a Meat track on Rockband, I noticed that Paradise is now available as a downloadable track on Rockband 3. I have yet to purchase Rockband 3 but i suspect that I will very soon.

Take care, x...
