Blitzed right pass me
On (or before) August 28,Rock Band Blitzwill be leaving digital marketplaces for good Harmonix announced today. While not specifically mentioned, this is probably due to music licenses expiring.Blitzlaunched five years ago and record companies love to be greedy and not sign life long contracts.
If you’re wondering about the songs that were exclusive toBlitz, then you don’t really have anything to fear. The entire soundtrack was eventually released as standalone DLC for use inRock Band 3and4, though obviously grabbingBlitzfor export would be cheaper than buying 25 songs. I guess use this as your final chance to potentially get some songs on the cheap.
While I was intrigued by the idea ofBlitzfor allowing gameplay without instruments, the track list basically did nothing for me. I wasn’t keen on how a couple of songs fromRock Band 2that didn’t import out were included and the only other song I cared about was Iron Maiden’s “The Wicker Man.” You could use your previous DLC, though, so I should have just bought the damn game.
Also, Harmonix does mention that the title will not be getting backwards compatibility support on Xbox One. If you were planning on nabbing the game to try on your newer hardware, then put that thought out of your mind. Seems like a real shame, since most people never even knew this existed.
