An email hit my inbox this evening informing me that the newRockBand.comcommunity site was live, and that a slew of new features were available to me. Well, at the time of this writing, that’s a total lie — the site is still displaying a “Coming Soon” message, but we have no doubt it’ll be up and running shortly.
What can we expect? From the “liar liar, pants on fire” e-mail:
Link your RockBand.com account to your Xbox Live gamertag or Playstation Network id to share your characters, bands, and high scores with your friends.
Compare your high scores with the Rock Band community on the brand new Leaderboards!
Make friends, write a blog, and post your pictures on your own personal RockBand.com page!
Last but not least, the community forums that you’ve come to know and love return in all of their glory, with all of your posts intact!
Sounds like a pretty hefty set of much-needed new features; I particularly like the fact that we’ll finally be able to share characters and bands with our friends. I look forward to being able to show the world the Topher Cantler-designed “Unicorn Death Foetus” logo.
What features are you most looking forward to, and are there any particularly embarassing created rockers you’d like to delete before your secret is out?
