Rock Band Moving Pictures DLC stalled due to 'technical difficulty'

by Ross Miller { Aug 26th 2008 at 11:11PM }

Bad news, everyone! This week's Rock Band DLC offering -- Rush's Moving Pictures album -- didn't come out today as planned. In a post on the forums, Harmonix's Sean Baptiste said, "There is a technical difficulty that is being worked out. I'll alert you when it is all clear." We wonder if that has anything to do with figuring out how to tell singers they can't wail on "YYZ." It's okay, please stop crying.

No timeline has been given, although at this point it seems more likely the Xbox 360 content will be released alongside PlayStation 3's content this week. That is, assuming they fix the problem by Thursday.

The awesomeness of this DLC will red-ring the 360 and make the HDD melt through the PS3.

That must be the problem.

And the Wii? HA go play Wii Music chump.

It was so awesome that it preemptively red ringed my system two days ago. Sent it in for repairs today, and now have to wait 3 weeks for the turn around. I just bought Pixies Doolittle, so maybe the combined awesome of having that with the potential awesome of Rush sent my Xbox into disrepair.

Not cool, I've been waiting all day to play YYZ. Goddamn it, time for another blunt to pass the time.

Guitar Hero 2...?

Maybe it's just that Rush's music is too technical? It certainly blows away the rest of... well, everything.

They can't figure out how to fit a Neal Peart drum line onto 4 drums.

After I blitz YYZ on vocals, I'll have to wait until they bring out Frankenstein by Edgar Winter Group to showcase my vocal talents once more!

zeldadude @ Aug 27th 2008 12:49AM

Apparently YYZ has some problems and hence why they couldn't release it in time.
Let's hope they can before this week.

Yeah. I had a feeling this whole "block it for vocalists" thing would lead to problems. I can understand locking it out in solo vocals, but why block a band from playing it simply because they've got a singer? Just do what was done in Foreplay/Long Time (or GG&HT) and have a "seperate" version for vocalists that doesn't exist.

Then have a full band version with percussion notes or something. Even if at that point there's a chance somebody could get the 100% vocals 'Chieve without having to sing.
