They said they're willing to offer patches for their instruments in GH but Activision actively went out and blocked the GH3 patch for the PS3. Plus I'm expecting RB2 to be far better than GH:WT. I don't know how much freedom the song creation system is going to have in GH so that could be a wild card but otherwise I can't see how RB would be inferior to GH. Harmonix are proven developers with a music background (Bonus songs from GH1 and rumored in RB2 are songs that the Harmonix guys made) who have put out several quality music rhythm games. Neversoft on the other hand has a reputation for taking over another franchise (Tony Hawk) and running it into the ground slowly. I understand Wii-only owners are upset with them and I agree there's no good excuse for not having online play in RBWii after GH3 had it. The only think I can think of is that once they realized with the state of Nintendo's storage solution that they couldn't do DLC, they figured they'd port the PS2 version instead of the HD version and didn't bother adding online play late into the game since the Wii SKU was already several months late. That's just lazy and uncalled for. But i'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. If GH:WT DLC actually works well for the Wii I definitely think Harmonix would offer it for RB2 as well. Why wouldn't they want to offer it? They make a killing off of it and if possible they are going to throw it on every console. |
They never took over it theyve been with it since the beginning. (Tony Hawk)
They shouldve never released Rock Band for Wii if it was gonna be so gimped. It was a BS cash-in.
GH:WT is gonna kick RB 2 ass on all consoles. RB2 will be more or less Rock Band 1.1 theyre not doing much different.
GH:WT ftw!
