Wow..that's pretty unfortunate for the people that do play RB on Wii.

Trroy5603d ago (Edited 5603d ago )

Harsh. No Wii love.

Redempteur5603d ago

Well that was to be expected ...

The demande for RBN on wii is simply not there

Beatles rock band sold more on wii than it did on 360 or ps3

Redempteur5603d ago

Beatles is nothing on the Rock band Network that is dedicated to bring more indies titles to the game . i dunno how indies music relate to the estimated target audiance Rock band Has on wii

danielle0075603d ago

That's a retail release. Rock Band Network is made of song downloads only. Wii gamers apparently aren't the type to unload $$ to download more songs.

Dsnyder5603d ago (Edited 5603d ago )

Thats pretty irrelevant. Install base means nothing if the gamers are not loyal. Wii gamers are causal gamers who probably dont even know what DLC is and probably dont play online. That is the problem with Wii. Its install base is pretty uninformed and it is not loyal to its games. That is why you dont see people lining up at midnight to buy the newest game like you do with the Hardcore HD gamers (eg COD, Halo GTA etc). This is why the 3rd party stands no chance on the wii. The 90% casual audience probably doesnt even know it exists and the 10% hardcore retro fans just want the newest Zelda game. Nintendo may be able to sell the razors but it has a much harder time selling the blades and those blads are just flocking to the HD razors now because that is where the money is for them.

Looking Back to 2010 and Rock Band 3 - the First Death of Rock Band

Dave writes: "Hopefully time will be kind to Rock Band 3. It’s the equivalent of a Blade Runner or Van Gogh, unappreciated and undersold in its own time, but something that has undeniable quality. We may never see another Rock Band, no encore to this great series, but in Rock Band 3 and Rock Band 4, we got some pretty awesome final tracks."

"It sounds simple enough, but due to the expiration of licenses, one of the four songs, Promised Land by Vesuvius, is no longer available to download. If you previously had it downloaded, it will *not* be taken away, so you'll still be able to grab this one."

Well damn it. I really dig that song from The Rocker and I did not know it was in RB3. I stopped playing after RB2.

franwex2727d ago

Online achievement/trophies are dumb. I’m not sure why they still include them. I recall the modern warfare games were applauded for not including them.
Unless the game is an online only game because what choice is there at that point.

Skankinruby2727d ago

Uhm trophies are fantastic, they give you real reason to keep playing a game after you beat it

Christopher2727d ago

If you need trophies to keep playing a game after you beat it, then is the game worth playing any further? It's imaginary points, not better gaming. Good games will be replayed regardless of imaginary points.

Skankinruby2727d ago

@Christopher
That logic makes zero sense. It's most definitely 'worth playing further' as you go and do things you clearly didn't do the first time....hence why do didn't get the TROPHY. It's not about better/worse gaming, it's about a replay of a game feeling fresh and not redundant.

***It's most definitely 'worth playing further' as you go and do things you clearly didn't do the first time....hence why do didn't get the TROPHY.***

If you need a trophy to do something and not the fact that you enjoy it, is the game actually worth playing? Seriously, how is that a foreign concept? How is that nonsensical? I guess it's nonsense to someone who plays for trophies, but that's about all you're playing for when you promote the reason for doing more to just get trophies and not because you enjoy it.

In fairness sony did have that gold trophy auction for all those commercial props.

Would have loved to have enough trophies for that.

Pretty ignorant statement to have... there are lots of fun achievements/trophies to be had playing online... I've never played through the single-player campaign in any COD... but had lots of fun playing online... Companies have to be sure to cater to all gamers when it comes to achievements/trophies... a good mix is never a bad thing...

franwex2726d ago

...except if you want to play a game online a couple of years later and not being able to, hence from getting all the trophies.
I’m not obsessed with getting every achievement/trophy but if I like the game I may try to. I’m simply being punished for not discovering the game earlier.

agnosticgamer2726d ago

Most games... minus complete failures last much...much longer online than I believe you are giving credit for...

OneEyedSteve2727d ago (Edited 2727d ago )

Half of these are false .. The Evolve one can still unlocked... Ghostbusters is only unachievable on PS3 its still online on 360.. Destiny 2 one is only unobtainable for a while as said by bungie... GTAV one can still be unlocked too in a private game. And the Black Ops 3 one can still be unlocked using a few different methods. Guy who wrote this is clueless.

Majors2727d ago

When a games server goes offline then they should allow users to create their own p2p servers to keep these games active. They should also unlock or delete the trophies from any list to those who havent got them.

darthv722727d ago

I can think of a few honorable mentions. there is one for smartglass seeing as smartglass is now defunct. there is also ones for 1v100 and dorito crash course 2 since both of those games are also defunct.
