Random Rock Band Questions Answered

Gamers have tons of random questions about even the most awesome of games like Harmonix’s Rock Band. Thankfully, MTV’s Multiplayer blog had the same itch, too, and had the chance to talk to the studio about the game. They query the studio on major issues such as the exclusion of online mode in Band World Tour mode, as well as various other topics. Here’s a bit:

Multiplayer: Why can’t you have one avatar play multiple instruments?

Teasdale: A lot of this falls into how we create and track progress with our characters in “Rock Band” - allowing your drummer’s progress to affect your guitar profile starts getting messy when you’re worried about stuff like difficulty curves, and having drummers wear clothes that might be too bulky for someone sitting behind a big drum kit and animating wildly is a problem too. We do hear that people want to be able to have their character play all instruments, and surmounting these hurdles is something we’re looking into.

And yes, we all want Led Zeppelin tracks. Thank you MTV for asking.
