Rock Band 2: Details Finally Announced

So just a month or two after Activision dropped the bomb on us for GH4 World Tour, people were waiting around for Harmonix to rebuttal. Well they have, and they're keeping things hush hush in an interview with IGN.

While little details were given, based on a few, here are some conclusions I am theorizing...

- RB2 will put more emphasis on the peripherals. I'm assuming that controllers will be more customizable both in real world, and in game. Possibly choosing what drum pad represents what, What symbols you have, what kind of amp you're using, more effects, etc.

- Song list is being extremely hyped. They're promosing for a "who's who of music game song lists"

- Even more in depth tour modes. Including a single player tour mode im sure, as well as an online tour mode.

I think one of the coolest things is how the downloadable content is being carried over. Rock Band is my favorite music game, and has completely obliterated their competition in my book. While GH has some strengths over RB, Rock Band was the first to add multi peripherals, a solo section on their guitar, editable charachters, and in depth story type mode, and best of all, their DLC works the way it should. Instead, GH franchise gives us crap like GH: Aerosmith, where we have to pay $60 for an entire catalog of songs we could have gotten for $12 at Rock Band.
