[Multi] The ROCK BAND thread - 17/08 DLC: The Black Keys, Neon Trees (post #3662) - Page 35

It's not that simple - I think it gives them out based on how many plays it expects over a day, although it may then dish out lots at the end of the day if there have been fewer plays than predicted.

The guy selling you codes has sent me a few as a thankyou. Had 3 losses last night out of 4.

I got 20 from your guy Tom (thanks very much btw) and another 50 from ebay. I got the bug.

68 registered and I got 42 wins. Works out at 44p a track so pretty chuffed

It seems that a leaked track list isn’t all the news Rock Band fans are enjoying today. In fact, EA Mobile just revealed some rather interesting information on its Twitter account: Rock Band is going mobile.

Now, according to EA Mobile's, the information and images provided aren't for an iPhone version of the game, as most probably suspected. Clearly, this begs the question: What platform is Rock Band Mobile coming out on?

Well, the latest EA Mobile post confirms, "Rock Band Mobile is launching 9/16 on Verizon. Unfortunately, I'm unable to comment on any other platforms at this time."

So there you have it. Although, it would be mighty impressive if EA decided to not release the game for the iPhone, so. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. In the meantime, here's the first batch of info:

Yeah, without all that, it just hammers home the fact that all your doing is playing a, slightly dull, rhythm game. The PSP version was crap from the demo I played.

Tom Whitaker · 03-09-2009, 08:05

Any word of HMX involvement in this?

Drysolder · 03-09-2009, 08:10

Still don't have full internet at home back yet, but looking at the Supersonic video on youtube, it looks horrible.

Why they couldn't use the album version is beyond me...

the psp version is ace, as are amplitude and frequency so nerrr

although i sort of agree it might not work well on an iphone as it has no propper buttons.

I coudn't get on with it at all

I can't *do* these games unless I can leap around with the guitar or do drum poses. (you know, holding sticks in the air, tapping them together, twirling them, and standing up and pointing them at the 'audience' during bits with no drums etcetcetc).

cool, how does that work? is it like ouendan or something? the only experience i have of games on an iphone is when a friend tried to get me to play streetfighter using on screen buttons which was quite bad.

KRW - yeah fair enough the guitar/drum peripherals do make it more fun, i still really like the versions without though

Tom Whitaker · 03-09-2009, 10:50

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does al that

I'm working through my codes and picked up 'Street of Dreams' and 'Riad n the Bedouins' yesterday. 'Street of Dreams' is really pleasant to play, somewhat softer than the others but it's got a really good solo and seems to be very FCable (I aced the solo but made a few mistakes elsewhere). 'Riad n the Bedouins' is the complete opposite, never lets up, very fast in tempo and pretty tough in places. Not sure I'd recommend it.

I also have 'Better' which is excellent. the 2nd solo is really satisfying.
