That's pretty bad, when you're being out-innovated by Activision...

Guess it's too bad real instruments and musicians with all their tools came first, huh. I kid.
But in all seriousness, if I wanted to make music I'd do it the real way, with an instrument and/or a decent computer. Still, I can't play anything I make on a PC in Guitar Hero, of course there's always Frets on Fire...

Damn, while i would probably never have used it i was pretty much sure it would be in the game.
In that interview on IGN they Harmonix guy dropped hint after hint and gave a large explanation of how Harmonix wants to get the user created music "right".
Me and my friends joked about how it wouldn't be in the game even after all his wink wink nudge nudging. But i still expected it to be in there.

If they get good tunes to begin with and in the DLC, I am happy and don't care. I do hope they have Satriani and Zep though.

Its only going to be people creating retarded songs like TTFAF on GH:WT... either that or someone is going to recreate songs like Stairway or Freebird.

Create-a-track is a stupid feature. The majority of people playing this game don't have enough talent to write something as fun to play or as good as anything that is on the disk or available as DLC. Perhaps a small percent do, I know that I do, but this feature is far from a make or break feature for me. I think many kids will be disappointed that there is a huge difference between clicking a bunch of multi-colored buttons and being creative.

This doesn't bother me in the least. I'm not musically inclined enough to make anything worth hearing, so if I got GH4 I would just feel like it was a wasted feature.

Does anyone think create-a-track will actually be useful? It's something 1% of users will use (well), and will be a forgotten feature for almost all casual players.

I'm not the most creative guy in the world so this is no big loss for me.

All of these "Well, I suck at writing music so I don't care" comments are confusing. Aren't you people the least bit interested in trying music by users who don't suck?

what these games need is an "upload-a-track" feature. In which you upload any song and it simply works with the buttons all being placed in there for you automatically in tune with the music.
Its probably something thats easy to program/design but they would never do it because people would have no reason to ever buy dlc, as they could just play the songs for free. And there would be no reason to buy a game like rockband 2, when rock band one would basically have unlimited songs.

To me this sounds like something that would be difficult to get right. Sure you could just program something that will put notes on the chart that's sort of in sync with the music, but to get good quality charts out of it would be very difficult.

You are joking right? If you think nobody is going to buy Rock Band because it is missing "create-a-track" you are very naive. Even if 1% of GH:WT players know how to make tracks worth playing (and I doubt it will be that many), there are no vocals so it's gimped anyway.
And don't be mad that RB has Pixes DLC and about a hundred other songs to choose from. How many songs can you download off of any GH game? Are they going to be compatiable with GH:WT? Who is going to lose again?

I can honestly say I am neither a RB or GH fanboy and own both games. However I could genuinely care less about create a track not being in RB2. There is more than enough dlc, I think its more important for GH considering the slow release of dlc for their games. And you kinda make yourself sound like a fanboy more than anyone else has on these comments. And yeah, like Zoot Suit Jedi said, I will definately be enjoying the Pixies dlc.

It looks like a pain in the ass to create a song of your own anyways.
