The eponymous side is Rivals mode which has players forming crews of up to 10 members in pursuit of besting other crews. Rivals is broken into two distinct halves. Anyone can appreciate Rivals because Rock Band 4 is at the core of it, but the majority of the benefits go to those who care about jockeying for position on leaderboards.
#ROCK BAND 4 RIVALS BAND IN A BOX FULL#
The undertone of the entire add-on is a relatively aggressive one, the kind that appeals to gold star and full combo chasers. Since the competitive players are the ones who are most likely to keep investing in Rock Band, Harmonix smartly tailored the majority of Rivals to them. (Although, it is worth noting that there are between 10 and 12 songs offered to those who pre-order.) Rather than bolstering Rock Band‘s song library, Rivals bolsters its features. This is different than how Harmonix usually entices customers, though. MSRP: $29.99 ( $59.99 ( Rock Band 4 and Rivals), $89.99 (guitar bundle), $199.99 (band kit)īecause continual free quality of life improvements don’t pay the bills, we have Rock Band Rivals - the first paid expansion to Rock Band 4 in what will probably be an annual cadence of major add-ons. Publisher: Harmonix (with distribution by PDP) This is undoubtedly a better product than when it originally released. But, Harmonix put that platform mantra to good use and has significantly evolved Rock Band 4 over the past year. Sure, the songs are the same and it’s still four fake instruments trying to mimic real-life musical talent. The Rock Band 4 that people own in October 2016 isn’t the same game that shipped in September 2015.
Rock Band 4 is a platform now, not a sequel that’s meant to lead to yet another sequel. Ever since the announcement of Rock Band 4, Harmonix has held steady in its assertion that we shouldn’t expect Rock Band 5 in a few years’ time.
