Dark Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I was reading my August 2010 Nintendo Power (oh stfu up, I am not a fanboy), and something surprised me. I won't quote it directly, but while they were talking about Rock Band 3, they said that a new "two-octave piano instrument" will be included. I suggested that when I first got Guitar Hero: World Tour. And I suggested a two- to three-octave portable keyboard. And now Rock Band is stealing my idea. I'm fucking pissed. Anyways, discuss Rock Band 3 (coming out holiday season 2010), and this new kick-ass piano instrument. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necro Pheonix Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Really? That's awesome, makes me wonder what songs they'll use to implement it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I'd totally want that song in Rock Band 3. But it's not really geared towards "pop" music, so most likely not. D': Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necro Pheonix Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 That would be awesome, and Rock Band is not generally geared towards "pop". The first had Enter Sandman and Run to the Hill, the second had Ace of Spades. Those werent exactly "pop". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeralSnake Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 It's not a keyboard, it's a KEYTAR, you fools! Yes, it is a real instrument. But all jokes aside, I think I'll just stick to my plastic drum set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Frostpaw Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Tell me I don't havce to buy the whole fuxin' set for the keyboard. Id' rather just buy the keyboard, and the disk, as I own all of the other instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazer Yoshi Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Rock Band 3 looks good. However, this one better have more metal. Judas Priest, Megadeth, Old Man's Child... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliminateHRN Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 My sister wants this game just for the keyboard. She loves keyboard/piano. I'll wait to see what songs are on there. Hopefully, good songs. Maybe more 3 Doors Down or Fall Out Boy. I would also like to see Atreyu in this game. And, of course, good keyboard/piano songs.

Judas Priest, Megadeth, Old Man's Child...[/quote'] Most metal songs don't have piano tracks, and the ones that do don't necessarily have good ones. I want to see more variety. Like, non-shitty pop music? Add some rock and metal, with like half a country song and you have a game. It's an 83-song set list, but I don't want 40 of those songs being from one genre. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mehmani Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 The plastic guitars can still be difficult to play even if you already play guitar, as can the drums. The piano will be too easy for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The piano will be too easy for me.[/quote'] That'd because a guitar utilizes six strings and a bunch of places to strike a note, and drums have more cymbals than Guitar Hero and Rock Band drums. But yeah, Rock Band 3 has a pro mode where you can buy a plastic real guitar (six-stringed and all that good stuff) and actually learn to play the guitar using a video game. Same for bass, same for drums, same for vocals (still not really, since the vocal detection system sucks), and now even for the piano, although it's two-octaved only. But yeah, the second I get that game, I'm going to try the most difficult song on Expert on piano and see how I fare. ^_____^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My and my piano teacher pretty much choose a bunch of video game music or classical music and I learn it. Which sucks because they are of such varying difficulties.

D': You're teacher is cool with you learning VGM? My Jazz teacher laughed when he found my Ducktales - The Moon sheet music. My teacher and I transcribe Jazz solos by ear together and then learn them. The best way to learn how to improvise is by learning how others do it.
