Why Dameon Angell believes Rock Band will Fail

I'm gonna have to aggree... at college no one's gonna be like "let's get shitty and play steel battalion"

Also, that game you listed above is more of a solo heavy gamer type while as Rock Band is more of a social lighthearted game. Rock Band will reach more people than that game because more people from varied backgrounds would rather play a rockstar simulation than a mechwarrior type of interactive game.

Like I said in the other thread, just go in with 3 or 4 friends and it's not so bad.

MechWarrior wasn't as popular as Guitar Hero so the comparison is flawed. Rock Band will definitely be better than Steel Battalion. Hell, even Guitar Hero was better than Steel Battalion. The learning curve for this game is almost non-existent compared to that mech simulator shit device. With the success of the Wii and the previous Guitar Hero games, it proves that we want social/casual games. If anything, Rock Band will fail because people won't want to shell out the money not because it's a bad game.
