Green Day Not 2010's Only Rock Band Game
by Chris Faylor, Jan 21, 2010 8:30pm PST
Following criticism that Green Day: Rock Band's main act isn't of the same caliber as that of last year's The Beatles: Rock Band, series publisher MTV had admitted that the dedicated Green Day project is "of course not going to be our only [Rock Band] game this year."
The tidbit emerged while MTV Games senior VP Paul DeGooyer was chatting with Newsarama, as noticed by Destructoid.
Though MTV Games, which owns Rock Band and Guitar Hero series creator Harmonix, has previously mentioned Rock Band 3, DeGooyer teased that it hasn't announced "any formal plans for a sequel game... yet," adding that while downloadable content serves to deliver new songs, it's easier to deliver "major upgrades" on a physical disc.
As for Green Day: Rock Band, the latest in the multi-instrument music game franchise hits PlayStaiton 3, Xbox 360 and Wii at some unspecified point in 2010, with PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 buyers able to export its various songs into Rock Band 1 and 2.

Green day is not pretentious at all. They aren't trying to be something huge, it just happened. While they do have serious topic songs, they still have dick-around, have fun psuedo-punk (pop-punk thing) songs. They are hitting the mark they have set for themselves and so what if they have bought in (sold out?) a bit commercially? I don't think they had any principles to compromise. For comparison, when was the last time you heard one of Green Days old songs on the radio? For me, yesterday.
So judging Green Day as what it is (NOT THE NEXT ZEP OR FLOYD, and not even trying to be), they are quite good. Top of their "genre" I would say, with success on a similar level as Zep and Floyd, not matter how much you want to admit it.
The Future was right, you are being just as pretentious as linkin park by assuming that YOU are the ultimate judge of what music is good. You have your opinion on the band, but it doesnt match the reality. I would say your opinion of linkin park does match the reality, and I LIKE linkin parks early stuff. But I am honest, objective, and realistic. For example, I think Hank Williams is the most god awful noise ever, I don't even want to acknowledge it as music, and I am a musician so that says a bit more than someone who just listens to music.
But because I am a musician, I have to admit when reality doesn't match my opinion. Hank Williams, as much as I loathe and detest even a SECOND of his "music", does not suck and is in fact quite good AS WHAT IT IS. More than quite good, Hank Williams music is the cream of the crop for that kind of music.
So shut up with your pretentious bigotry.
