Rock Band 3 to include keyboards, "pro" mode

***CaptHayfever*** · 06-13-2010, 12:46 AM

Rock Band 3 will teach you how to play keyboards, guitar - Plugged In - Yahoo! Games

Keyboard: 25 keys, grouped together into the usual 5 colors for easy & medium settings, but hard & expert modes will require more precision. The board is also MIDI functional to play outside of the game.

Pro mode: You're basically really playing the song at this point. New guitar controllers will also be made available, one with actual strings, both with a full fretboard.

Video in the link.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I'm pretty psyched about the "real guitar" thing they're talking about. Makes me want to drop a thousand dollars for a PS3/360 and Rock Band 3 with full instruments.

Now watch as guitarist still fail at their own songs.

I want the keyboard. Now.

also the soundtrack. Jane's Addiction, Queen, Metric, Jimi Hendrix, The Cure, Phoenix, Rilo Kiley, Dio, The White Stripes, and Huey Lewis? Sign me up.

Still want. Apparently every instrument gets a pro mode: drums get three more cymbals.

***CaptHayfever*** · 06-22-2010, 11:42 AM

^Are they raised cymbals? Please tell me they're raised cymbals.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Guitar Hero 4 had those. They'd better have those.

Exactly. The GH drumkit is better than the RB drumkit for that very reason.

I didnt like the kickpedal on the GH drums though. For some reason, it was just extremely difficult for me to use. Also, after more than 2 minutes of playing the GH WT guitar, my entire left arm (strumming arm) would cramp up really badly, whereas i felt fine when using the GH3 guitar.
