Rocksmith 2014 Edition - E3 2013 Floor Report 

Man I've been playing guitar for like 13 years now and I would buy this game soley for the back tracking band. That Shit is awesome. Throw on some head phones and you have a full band at your disposal. That's completely bad ass

This looks fantastic. The guy presenting the game to us does a really great job, too. Earning that paycheque

Look out drummers, it's Virtual DrumBot, and you thought drum machines were scary

This game is such an awesome idea. That AI drums thing is pretty awesome too.

i need this in my life

Just brought it yesterday , benn playing for a long time Gotta try out the jam part tonight for sure , looks amazing!!!!

This looks amazing! Especially the ability to show me the available notes to hit to stay in key.

This game is SWEEEEEET! I learned to play bass in just 3 hours using it. Now make one for the drums!!

You won't regret it. I had played for about 4 years when I picked it up last year, and it still helped me a good bit. And it's really fun at that.

I already know how to play guitar for 10 years now but i still love this program

the "bum note" obviously can be played to create suspense, which can be satisfyingly resolved by playing the "right note"

he called them scales in the rest of the video plus he said this was just a part of the game that means there is a lot more to the game than just teaching u scales which is amazing and showing u how to improvise

I plugged this into the speaker output of my 100w tube head and played some death. The console burst into flames, is this normal?

this was easily the high light of E3 yet so many people blew it off

This guy really loves what he's doing

This game is literally the future. It is definitely an upcoming musicians next best tool for a band experience.

All I want to hear is "We fixed the sound lag"

Gotta love the Ghostbusters themesong in the background 10 secs in

This looks great, I knew hanging on for the sequel would be worth it

bought this game day one, and the difference between rocksmith and rocksmith 2014 are great. My main gripe with the first one was load times. It took forever to load songs, change amps, look through chord books, practice sessions, and just anything that had you change menus. Rocksmith 2014 can get you in and out of menus and options in mere seconds and drum session is pretty damn cool. I already bought the import key.

OH MY GOD!!!!! I can't wait to have an A.I. drummer! As a working musician I use the original rocksmith as a practice tool to hone my playing. Personally this is the only game I support for people learning guitar because it does a great job at teaching the basics and improving movement as well as not forcing you to look at your fretboard.

I love Rocksmith, this just seems outrageous. Please just take my money right now!

This makes me want to play the crap out of the original rocksmith!!! I'm beyond excited for this!!!! AND, it's still coming to the 360!

I hope that it can generate songs of your choosing in a couple minutes. NEXT GEN

I played this, session mode is as awesome as they're cracking it up to be. If you play the guitar/bass, you're off your rockers if you don't get this!

Jeez... I knew they were going to make a "Rocksmith 2" but...I didn't know they were going to put something as awesome as this in it.... will certainly get it when it comes out!

As someone who plays guitar...that's actually really cool.

The fretboard can be flipped if you want it to. It's an option in the menus.

Paul pitches this so well. I will be doing the improvising part for days. I love amp mode (freestyle) mode in the current version.

I play guitar myself and I find this game to be really helpful(I just wish I knew about it sooner) since its so hard to find others at my pace, like if i'm trying to start a band. Just like that guy said "This AI wont be late or not show up at all" and that aspect with the teaching experience is what catches me

This looks incredible - a huge improvement on the first game. Really excited about the potential of 'session mode'. It looks like it could even help you test out new songs and how they sound... :)

It actually does help with drums (Mostly rockband 3 one) I'm a drummer and I truly believe Rock band 3 is the best for learning drums.

They should also add a few features which I just thought up:- - To be able to play 7-12 string songs (If you own guitars such as) - Metronome (he mentioned ''clickin'', if you're a guitarist you know how important that is) - Online duelling AND team duelling (Idea from @Metalshredder6). For example for TD, they should have two guitars and one bassist per band (Vocals possibly? I'm new to the game), and have a similar band and those two bands can duel. - Vocal lessons - Split screen - Tournaments

If you've played Rocksmith before "Nick" is the guy that performs the song "Space Ostrich" (it's a bonus song))

you know what i want? improv mode, during a song all the rythem and verse stuff is there but for the leads you dont have to play the notes on the sceen and shred whatever you want and not lose the song

I wish this rocksmith had a difficulty setting just so you can play with friends and other people without changeing your progress in the game. It also helps because you dont know how well your friend plays so it would be a great feature to have. :)

"Yeah Nick, play a bum note"...Nick still sounds awesome :/

Been playing guitar for a good 6 years now and I like to think I am reasonably high ability but I'm sure this game can teach me more

Too bad for you. I went from being a newb at rock band, to regularly gold-starring song on expert in a matter of months. A couple of years later, I got Rocksmith. I started liking how I got better BY PLAYING THE SONGS I LOVED! EVERYTHING I had learned, meant nothing. Seriously. Now, after a mere 40 hours playing Rocksmith, I can play along with many songs, and scoring very high percentages and scores! If you want to check, look at some of the videos on my channel.

Yes, like Rocksmith 1, if your bass is electric, you can play this.

i just saw this on steam, my god is the dream of any guitar player D:

the bold guy explain it very well, cool guy

This dude is so energetic

You have different effects and pedals and a lot more IN game, just like the original Rocksmith. It has lot's of virtual hardware components, like pedals and amps, all inside the game, so no need for a amp. This game is totally worth it, and I already pre-ordered it.

I can't wait for this it will be amazing and help my guitar playing so much

Gonna miss you guitar hero

This is actually pretty kickass, I totally know what I'm doing with my money this October!

Best virtual way to learn drums that is.

I have to agree with you. Also try learning classical music first, before you go for electric. The amount of stuff you will learn is incredible.

"oh he wants to play chill ill play chill to" unlike every real drummer everywhere

This game is AWESOME!

R.I.P. Guitar Hero!

that's awesome, this game (I find it hard calling that) was a great experience. The 2014 edition is gonna blow me away :P

i cant imagine it will be brilliant

Looks awesome seems they really made Rocksmith so much better but I really hope that the songs from the first Rocksmith will transfer over not just the DLC.

Most of these are online so some features for offline are also listed, but more focusing on offline, there should be a feature where you can SAVE songs which you had just made like the feature they was just using. You should have the freedom to press record at ANY point and then the game should also record everynote and drum pattern played. Once done, you should be able to have a archive to songs you have recorded and sample songs which you can edit such as: Tunings, Key/time, patterns and bars.

Yes, if your acoustic has a pickup and accepts a 3.5" input jack, then you can play.

Oh my god. 1: Nick's a badass. 2: I want this session mode so badly I blindly bought the game already.

i've been meaning to pick up rocksmith for a while now, might as well pick this up when it comes out. Looks like a hoot!

So basically... This game got 1000x better. What about "different" scales? Could there be a harmonic minor if i'm feeling Yngwie? Or maybe another thing where you can sort of make an outline of a song? Say if you wanted to do a modulation to a different key, or play a quick diminished run? All in all.... This A.I. musician thing... Genius. Pure awesomeness. I can now just jam when I want to jam. So psyched.

this guy is selling this game pretty well

yeah the thing is that this was just a preview, but from what i got in the video he sais that youll be able to play with "your favourite bands like:aerosmith etc." wich im taking as youll be able to play it like the last game(like guitar hero) with a real guitar/bass but youll be able to do this "jam session" aswell, wich i am really amezed by, and im eager to try it myself!

I don't know about the base songs in the game, but if you purchased DLC then yes you will be able to! =)

Rocksmith 2014 is already out and is available for consoles...

If this game has Crazy train, Mr Crowley, and Hot for teacher on it song list it will be a must buy on my list!

I don't think so. I practice alone and I would much rather have some sort of backing music that played with me. If I don't have people to play with, then this is a fantastic substitute. As a guitar player, this is a massively helpful tool. I wouldn't stay inside all day with it.

I miss you GUITAR HERO...

so far it has Slayer, Iron Maiden, and White Zombie

you get an adapter lead with the game (if u don't already have one ) when u buy it ask for the lead pack rocksmith

I HERE YOU BRO!

I feel a bit silly, but it gave me goosebumps.

oh man, this is dream

Wow that's a really cool feature. Most interesting!

that's not their problem, it's yours. Set up your audio properly,check your intonation. However, it has been stated the latency has been reduced with the new game.

it only makes it unplayable if you cant jam with the music you should know when to change chords and notes by listening to the song btw that improvise thing they have on this looks class

The retail hard copy of the game comes with a "pure tone" amp lead - usb. So, you could plug it directly into your pc. I would advise something like a Yamaha THR10 usb/b - a (And of course you need an electric guitar)

yeah I just found them after I posted the last reply.. haha. Will try it out later. Thanks for offering some help though :)

they should add a diffrent way to read the chart so you read it like you read "real tabs"

Top of my Christmas list! lol Looks awesome!

you can get the game and the cord separate, so if you already have a guitar, its a lot cheaper.

rocksmith 2014 has metal songs and band presets and instruments

I'm not sure what you mean but all songs from Rocksmith will be able to be imported to Rocksmith 2014.

You can play rocksmith on any electric guitar

This looks very good.

NEED...THAT...GAME

I understand why. The biggest thing people on the PC complain about is the latency issue. Can you imagine that times two?

I know. my point is that it's not wrong, just transitioning into a mode that wasn't shown. I really hope the game doesn't box you into one particular mode and force you to only play that. instructing players to transition b/w modes like if they're playing a scale in Ionian mode then if they play a flat 7th by "mistake" the game could then switch them over to the Mixolydian scale since it's a major scale with a flat 7th real bands switch modes on the fly like that. jam mode needs to do this too

Rocksmith 2014: Includes Real Tone Cable PC dose, if you see the game for like £29 - £30 its the game only I paid £40 with the cable from the old play.com web site

yo, robot jams. That's pretty cool.

First song you have to play is Necrophagist - Fermented Offal Discharge, if you don't beat it you can't play the game. Would love if they done something like that.

Just make it so I can get from the 'display lag correction' screen to test-playing a song in less than 45 seconds without having to check tuning again and again and I'll pay double!

This is next level

I'm SOOOO PSYCHED! I have Rocksmith for PC, and this game is unbelievable already. I learned to play bass in a matter of weeks. And now being able to play with an AI band? So sick...

I had a great time with Guitar hero ! it was and is a great game

Rocksmith has made me a better guitar player. Plus it is fun. This 'game' makes me pickup my guitar much more frequently. But Rocksmith is not the end all be all in guitar training. It is just another tool to help you become a better musician, especially for beginners. It helps keep you motivated. You should at least try it before you decide.

PC. dvi connected monitor (low latency monitor), direct audio connection to my speakers, which is what the website recommends for latency, but it still doesnt get rid of it completely.

I guess that is pretty hard to do, if the total latency is more than 40ms there is a noticable delay in the music when playing online, which means you must be very close to each other geographically. But it would be awesome :)

Billy Gibbons was right: the pentatonic scales makes any guitarist seem good.

This is gonna be awesome! I know what I'm getting.

thank God!! this sounds like its a GREAT come back because the time & some of everything was getting on my nerves with the old 1
