Rock Band 2 To Allow Playing Of Rock Band DLC?
Gaming site Next-Gen sat down with Rob Kay, design director for Harmonix, and he hinted at some plans for the upcoming Rock Band 2.
When asked whether or not the current Rock Band’s DLC content “make it harder to justify new retail versions”, Kay responded in a way that suggests that the DLC’s you’ve already purchased would work in upcoming sequels.
We don’t want you to buy a piece of music in Rock Band and then find a year down the line it doesn’t work any more because people have moved on to something else.
While Kay is not making an all out statement saying that DLC songs purchased for Rock Band will be available to use if you purchase Rock Band 2, it would be a shame it they weren’t available after making such a statement.
Kay also indicated that there may be the option for user-generated content in Rock Band 2, mentioning that “it’s definitely part of Harmonix’s future” and “that’s a long-term goal” but that they are “devoting time to figuring it out.”
Harmonix has been looking into user-generated content for a while now. With Activision announcing that Guitar Hero World Tour would have the ability for user-generated content, Harmonix will probably realize that Rock Band 2 will require it to stay competitive.
