Owners of the new instruments are lucky to receive firmware updates for their instruments by connecting their instruments to a PC. The drums are plagued with even more issues than the other instruments since bass drum kicks seem to drop randomly and the calibration feels worse on a drum kit.
I’m an expert player and typically play on pro drums with the cymbal add-ons and playing on expert is near impossible.
I’m even using the same television as before! However, in Rock Band 4 I ran the in-game calibration tool maybe 10+ times and still have not gotten it to the point where the game can be played seriously. I played just about every plastic instrument rhythm game last generation (even Rock Revolution…) and never had calibration issues. First off, the calibration settings are near impossible to get right. Since DLC sticks with the same family of consoles, the PS4 version was out of the question for me.Īfter spending (and live streaming) over 3 hours of gameplay Friday night, I am disappointed to say that the game has some pretty nasty issues. I own many Xbox 360 legacy instruments and downloadable content from the previous Rock Band games, so naturally the legacy adapter and sticking to the Xbox One version was important to me. Regardless, I was excited to spend the weekend playing the game. I was able to receive my Xbox One game + legacy adapter bundle on Friday by having the game overnight shipped to me via Amazon, paying much more for the game than I anticipated. Instrument bundles were also scarce and hard to get a hold of. Playstation 4 owners who want to play with legacy instruments (without the need of additional hardware) were fine, but Xbox One users who need the game’s legacy adapter in order to use legacy Xbox 360 instruments were hosed since retailers seemed to not even receive any copies of the game packaged with the adapter let alone standalone adapters as well. Now I say “released” in quotes because the release was plagued with shipping issues that made the game seem as if it didn’t quite release at all. Last Tuesday, Rock Band 4 “released” for Xbox One and Playstation 4. Harmonix’s return to the plastic instrument genre on new-gen consoles comes with some pretty nasty hiccups.
