Waiting on my band pic...which consists of 2 of us :D
 
Ok, for anyone that has an Ion drum rocker.

There's actually an alternative to purchasing the DM5 drum brain module ($350), 3rd cymbal+hi-hat control, and another pedal in order to turn your kit into a real e-kit.
There's something called a Roadie Pro Upgrade kit, and it only costs $200+shipping and it includes all of the above.
Seems like a good deal, but I think I'm going to wait for some reviews.

This background is not very good.

That is freakin' awesome!

My main guy from RB1, as accurately recreated as possibly in RB2.

EDIT: And yes, Scott Ian (Anthrax) was a partial influence.
 
How long are those figures taking to generate for you?

Also, are guitarists stuck with the Fender Strat, or can you have any kind of guitar that's in the game?

It took about 45 minutes, but that was earlier tonight.

And that guitar is my custom strat in-game (note the decal), so I'm sure others are possible.

Me in RB form, the Zakk Wylde isn't coming through in the render.

Corey Matthews, the first man I had to hire into my band The Exits.

The Joker

My friend, the ironic Indian.

My photos are coming through slowly. They should put them out in larger sizes, so we can make them into wallpapers like with the Halo 3 screenshots.
 
God bless, I made a picture a couple of hours ago and there still isn't shit showing up on my profile. This better be a product of the site being in the ealry stages of its life and the server getting it's initial slamming.

Also, is there an option to put just your band logo on a tshirt? I don't really care to put my characters on there. Just my band logo.

EDIT: Here is my drummer. I play drums the most so i have probably spent the most time crafting him. The bandanna is a recent addition that looks much better in the game than on the figure I think.

70 bucks for a custom figurine doesn't sound too bad, considering the level of detailed work they have to do.
I just did one and it took just a few seconds.

I don't think I'd pay for it, but it's not unreasonable.
 
Well, minus the lack of Offspring, the two songs I got this morning (Bad to the Bone and Push It) are really cool. Both have a lot of whack-ass cords in them, but you get used to it as the songs go along.
 
Nice sig, X.:lol:[quote name='Trakan']Anyone else getting an error code while trying to download the new songs?[/quote]Marketplace wouldn't let me grab any of the Offspring songs or the Static-X song. :cry:
 
[quote name='JohnnyFoxDarko']I have the Joker too.

That's one of the better ones I've seen.



Along those lines, does anyone know of a website that has guidelines to creating a rocker (CAR?)


I remember when I was into the WWF (WWE now) and bought wrestling games that there were a ton of sites devoted to CAW's (Create a wrestler) and that was a pretty popular thing with those games.
 
I was wondering the same thing. It would be cool to see a bunch of actual bands re-created, along with a bunch of non-music related "CAR"s (like a Justice League band or something) and a section for original characters.
 
That's a shame that the Offspring songs are taking so long to show up - I was really looking forward to waking up and playing them all morning.

[quote name='tiredfornow']Nice sig, X.:lol:[/quote]Thank you, kind sir. :cool:

Ha, i did the same thing but wth the red & yellow version. Unfortunately I just overhauled the character again to something totally different so I don't have any pictures of it.

This "merchandise" idea is one of the coolest tie-ins I've seen any game company do, ever. As long as the figurines are not terrible quality I'll probably give in and buy one.
 
[quote name='DestroVega']how are you guys making these crazy characters... not in-game right?[/quote]
Of course, in-game. The Rock Band site allows you to upload a picture of your character and change the background/pose/etc.

Mr. Feeny, Me, and Corey. A bunch of photos I took last night still haven't shown up. This thing must relaly be backed up.[/quote]


How'd you get the logo in the corner? Is that just automatic?
 
[quote name='Tha Xecutioner']Of course, in-game. The Rock Band site allows you to upload a picture of your character and change the background/pose/etc.[/quote]

I haven't really played around with the characters models too much in game... so you're saying there is a way to make a character look like the Joker in your band in the game? that's wild, I will have to start playing around with it more if that's the case.

You can customize with face paint, makeup, tattoos, and even some clothing items allow you to add designs.
 
Hm.

I think I'm going to grab Stop, Cream and Bastards Rise, and Nearly Lost You, as well as the Offspring pack. I'm not sure about Bad to the Bone and Push It since they both seem really repetitive.
 
Looking through the store...

$29 - Shirt
$14 - Poster
$5 - Sticker
$3 - Keychain
$2 - Button
$4 - Bumper sticker

Actually decent prices, not sure about shipping though.
 
Wow, I never realized that those songs by Offspring, were by the Offspring. Haha, downloaded all 3 of those. Bad to the Bone is going to be a kickass party song. :) Especially with the Rock ending haha. Anyone else noticed that all of these, or maybe most songs had the crowd singing along again?

I noticed that the crowd was singing in Self Esteem, but that's because it's kick ass and everybody always sings to that song. Also, I just bought 1600 points, so I grabbed the Offspring pack, Toxicity, BYOB and Under the Bridge.

EDIT: What 20 songs do you get if you buy RB2? I'm still using a downloaded copy, as I'm waiting for the bundle to release. I just want to know if it's worth it to get the bundle new, or buy everything separate but used. (Obviously, if it's bought used, you can't get the 20 songs again.)

Nice. Wish they'd take the time to put that in more often.
