Every time they release a song from Blitz it reminds me that I still need to get Blitz. Then again, I'm beyond far behind on RB DLC |

Whelp, next week sees the rerelease of three Blitz singles. No new songs for those of us who bought Blitz. DLC for 1/8 Foster the People – "Pumped Up Kicks" Foo Fighters – "These Days" Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera – "Moves Like Jagger" Also, Foster the People 01 will be released, containing "Pumped Up Kicks", "Helena Beat", and "Don't Stop (Color on the Walls)", the last two of which were released as singles earlier last year. I'd have to say the streak is over. 5 years of new weekly releases is still amazing, so as long as Harmonix comes back with new new content next week, I'll be happy. Meanwhile "Great Balls of Fire" by Jerry Lee Lewis is being released on the RBN. I'll pick that one up. EDIT: Official word from HMXHenry says that this trend will continue for the next few weeks. He said that they're going to alternate between a week of new songs and a week of Blitz songs until all the songs are released. He also made mention of a couple new IPs for the year. One is definitely a new Dance Central title, but perhaps a new Rock Band title too? While there was no hint at a new Rock Band title, there was no outright denial of one too. Who knows. |

It appears things are worse than what I originally thought. From what I can infer from HMXHenry's posts on the forums, the future of Rock Band is... uncertain at best. The new DLC will now be released on a bi-weekly schedule, with off weeks containing Blitz songs. HMXHenry tells us that they have 3 months of DLC ready, but every time in the past he's brought that up, he always said 6 months. Those new IPs Harmonix are working on? None of them are Rock Band titles or plastic instrument related. What's more is that HMXHenry, for the first time since I can remember, isn't debunking any talks about Rock Band's imminent demise. Here's some quotes from HMXHenry.
Discussion threads on RB Forums: http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=233219 http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=233202 http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=233240 So, what I can infer from this is that DLC is very likely to end sometime this year. RBN support will continue for 360, but the PS3 is unknown. There are no plans for a Rock Band title and no plans for anything to attract interest in RB again. Guys, I think this is it. We all knew it would happen someday, and I think it's finally happening. I wish it weren't, but everything is telling me otherwise. It's been a fun ride. While I would definitely like a few more years of Rock Band, all good things must come to an end. I wouldn't be the person I am today without Rock Band, and I will be alongside it to the very end. |

Wow, the end of Rock Band. I remember when GH ended almost 2 years ago and now RB will soon follow it seems. Honestly, this won't hit me as hard as the demise of GH did since I've moved on to Rocksmith, which oddly enough has moved from bi-weekly to weekly DLC, and playing other games. RB definitely had a good run and will be missed. Vaya con Dios, plastic instrument music games. |

An end of an era... I don't think there will be any more plastic instrument games in the future ever. I think the popularity of this has really come to a pretty big decline, which is sad. I still have loads of Guitar Hero games for the Wii...maybe I should revisit that stuff? Hmm... |

I shouldn't be too surprised. There isn't much interest or competition in the genre anymore. Also, the DLC has consistently been three songs a week for months now. I almost wonder if that was intentional to stave off having to make an announcement like this. And of course I'd have to assume DLC isn't as profitable anymore, so almost every week has to be popular stuff just so Harmonix can make something off of it. I'll still have the game and all, and I'll probably still play it from time to time. I've spent too much money *not* to, and I still enjoy singing and playing the other instruments when I can/feel up to it. Even so, it hasn't been the same since Rock Band 3's release (IMO), and there isn't a whole lot they can do to "shake things up" and re-ignite interest in this type of game. These games have been a huge part of my gaming "career" (hate to use that word, but it's accurate), but I can't say I'll miss DLC all that much. I haven't enjoyed most of it since RB3 came out, which likely has something to do with it. |

DLC for 11/15 • Rick Springfield – “Jessie’s Girl” O X • Rick Springfield – “I’ve Done Everything For You” X • Rick Springfield – “Don’t Talk to Strangers” O This is the last artist from Blitz to have a pack, according to Harmonix. Disappointed it wasn't Kelly Clarkson or Barenaked Ladies. OH WELL. I only really wanted "Jessie's Girl" from him, and I already got that from Blitz, so I may or may not pick up either of the others. |

DLC for 1/29 Aerosmith – “Walk This Way” Aerosmith – “Sweet Emotion” X Aerosmith – “Back in the Saddle” Aerosmith – “Dream On (Live)” X O Aerosmith – “Legendary Child” Aerosmith – “Lover Alot” COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED. I guess that means the exclusivity license is now up. That could mean that Metallica is coming later in the year. I will be picking up the pack. The first four are all fantastic, and "Legendary Child" isn't that bad either. Pretty amazing get from Harmonix. |
