GDC: Rock Band 3 Getting Ready To Rock This Holiday Season

Are you ready to rock? Well, if you're not, you've got until the end of the year to get yourself sufficiently ready to rock once again as Harmonix has announced that Rock Band 3 will be out in time for the 'Holiday Season'.

Here's the latest Rock Band Facebook post fresh from GDC: "Harmonix is developing Rock Band 3 for worldwide release this holiday season! The game, which will be published by MTV Games and distributed by Electronic Arts, will innovate and revolutionize the music genre once again, just as Harmonix did with the original Rock Band, Rock Band 2 and The Beatles: Rock Band. Stay tuned for more details!"

And that's all we know for now, folks! Stay tuned for the usual drip feed of tracks and new features in due course.

How about you all speculate as to what tracks will feature in Rock Band 3 and which ones you'd like to see?

Rock Band 3 to have vocal harmonies, Harmonix (accidentally) confirms

At Harmonix's PAX East 2010 panel, five Rock Band designers answered questions from the audience for "An Awkward Hour" with one major stipulation: No questions about Rock Band 3. However, when an audience member inquired whether Green Day: Rock Band songs would still have harmonies when imported into RB2, Harmonix Project Lead Chris Foster began listing off the games with harmony support. "We've said Rock Band 3 would have harmonies already, right?" Foster asked his fellow panelists, who responded with a booming, "No!"

Foster clammed up without revealing more details about Rock Band 3's harmonies (or even answering the attendee's original question), only mentioning, "It's been nice working at Harmonix." (We think he was joking about that last part.)

Rock Band 3 primed for launch



Rock Band 3, the big time successor to the game that sparked a virtual music revolution, is due to get detailed this month, with a full-on launch due at gaming megashow E3 in June.

The latest instalment in the rocking franchise will be shown off to gaming bigwigs on 20 May in Los Angeles. There are promises of more realistic looks, with one insider saying the title will change the way the world looks at music games.

For now, details of setlists and new instruments remain under wraps. But rest assured this will be out and ready for the Christmas party season, letting you rock out in front of the telly while pretending you're actually kicking it at Wembley in front of 80,000 adoring fans.

Rock Band 3 To Tickle the Ivories

There's a Green Day: Rock Band demo up on the Xbox Live Marketplace, which in itself is very nice and all that, but once you've finished with the demo you'll see an image that shows the Rock Band guitar, drum, bass and microphone icons, which have now been joined by a piano one too.

You might notice that there's also a big '3', suggesting that Rock Band 3 will be adding keyboards and pianos to its arsenal. There are three microphones in the icon too, meaning that harmonies will be returning from The Beatles: Rock Band.

So, ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony and you'll be able to sing in harmony too?! That's a lot of harmony.

What can we expect to see in Rock Band 3's tracklist then? Stevie Wonder? Billy Joel? Or god forbid...Elton John? Jerry Lee Lewis will undoubtedly be in there somewhere. Perhaps we'll get to play some hideous 80s' synth music. That would be amazing.

No doubt all will be revealed in the coming months.
