This game blew me away. The fact that I can do other stuff with my guitar rather than play the tab my guitar teacher gives me. The Guitarcade is genius, the song selection is very diverse, and most importantly, it picks up notes really well. I didn't expect much from this game, but it's hell of a lot more satisfying learning the guitar rather than getting a killstreak in Call of Duty.

[@veziop]

3:54 haha cracked me up

[@TheGreatsagegoku]

i was really won over when he said"rocksmith 2014 kick the SHIT out of rocksmith 1" idk why

[@DLTA64]

What you said is VERY true. I started the guitar with Rocksmith, absolutely NO experience before that, 2 monts later I was doing much better than I expected. This "game" is just truly amazing.

[@MrCaptainInternet]

Thanks mate, I'm so picking up a guitar and rocksmith 2014 :D Pretty excited after seeing the videos lol

[@maryem513]

this seems to be a great learning tool,i have read a few reviews now and almost all ,like 99% of the feedback is nothing but great things being said about this software ,i can't wait to get my hands on a copy of this and give it a go

[@badmilk1735]

Anyone considering buying this "game" do it. I don't think of this as a game. Ive had this for two months and the level of improvement is unreal. I would never have played guitar looking at a book or dvd for 4 hours a day. Its really one of the best things Ive ever bought. Everyone at rocksmith thanks so much!

[@tiequanedraalexander]

I have been watching videos of rocksmith for the ps3 and I have to say 99% of are awesome, I can't wait to get one case I a dean bass guitar for a long time haven't lessons on it because of money issues and since I wanted lessons so bad I looked up rocksmith and I was hooked.

[@ziuber18]

This is going to be my game of the year. Definitely most anticipated one.

[@mynameisawesomeman]

sweeeeet didn't even know this was in the works... definitely grabbing it

[@MichaelDoesLife]

Wow. It looks the the entire Rocksmith team busted their asses off to ensure that this game is miles ahead of its predecessor. The new improvements and additions are unbelievable. I simply can't wait to get rockin' come this October.

[@williamthorsen6811]

I am so so so so so ready for this

[@joshxms2260]

I've ordered it from Amazon, I can't wait!

[@mcedwar1]

Wow. I already pre-ordered it for the new songs, jam session mode, cool practice device, but improving the UI, menus, and no load times? Yes! Pretty excited!

[@187not7]

Just bought this online wating for it to get here exited to learn

[@Hotspace5170]

Wow.... Well I know I will be doing after work & days when the weather sucks... Playing Rocksmith 2014 on my ps3. thanks for posting this.

[@RicardoArredondo]

Mine i as Steam Pre-ordered and i am ready to rock!

[@chekeichan]

I am so hyped for this.

[@amphobius]

I was originally excited for this for the fact it has War Ensemble by Slayer. Now I'm excited that it's a solid game and moreover an extremely solid learning tool. I'll definitely be picking this up.

[@forestR1]

Holy shit, no more loading? THANKYOU!!! backwards compatible with DLC and cable? THANKYOU!!! Everything about this is good.

[@dsc_dsc]

ty man, thats awesome!

[@pedrompso]

Can i use any guitar or does it need to be a specific one or only guitars from brands like gibson or epiphone?cause i have a guitar just for learning that i don't even know it's brand it onl says SX on the guitar

[@notanoperafloozy]

Gosh... You guys keep making me more and more impatient for this to be released. My favourite part was "Rocksmith 2014 kicks the sh[bleeeep] out of Rocksmith 1". Bahaha! Keepin' it classy. :)

[@Lontavius1986]

Getting it!

[@RicardoR5]

i'm hyped for GTAV, but i'm crying inside for getting my hands on rocksmith 2014, best game ever ! rocksmith one allowed me to finally learn guitar i loved it and play it almost every days

[@zbuk78]

the cable is included in the set, although You may buy game without cable if You've got one form first edition. effects and amps are in game and they are automatically loaded for the song, and if You manage to gain enough points, it's unlocked for free play. other thing You can unlock are hidden songs.

[@OldDudePlays_72]

I really can't say enough about this game this game has really improved my muscle memory so much. I really don't like it a game, I look at it as a learning took. I highly recommend this product

[@toymachinesh]

They will but they are still working out licensing on a few songs. There was a joystiq article on it.

[@1983electric]

Bravo

[@SFenton24]

Me too. I'm excited for GTAV. I'm max HYPE for RS2014.

[@borocamo]

Did they give a lag fix option on this one cause I dontblike hearing my notes a second after I play them

[@TheMisterPip]

Well thats fantastic to know. I have a perfect experience with my xbox.

[@tylervandall]

It does look better than the first one! Though I would like to hear about them adding more dropped tuning songs, lower than drop d anyway. I play/write in drop c mostly.

[@samtroth5216]

best part hands down

[@asylumxtc]

Looks amazing! I have Rocksmith and a bunch of DLC on the PS3 now, but I'd love to try 2014 on the XBox with Kinect. Any way to move my DLC over?

[@andrewhayes4914]

I see this software is compatible with the PC, so I take it it comes with a cable to plug your guitar in to your pc !!! what about all the effects are they included in the software the same as pod farm and other modelling amps? or do you use peddles to crate your tone ???

[@daveyoung4826]

Rocksmith 2014 looks amazing! I hope there is a setting to turn notes on so I can learn the fretboard and not just see colored bars.

[@eddiesebastian6138]

My concern is will Rocksmith 14 be compatible with the new XboX One next generation console?

[@sowelFB]

will the UK get this one the same time as everyone else?

[@lkjafiowoijaoijdsijf]

Where is that Guitarcade video shown at the end? Can't seem to find it.

[@duscodick]

What happened to Rocksmiths 2 through 2013? They only made 1 and 2014.

[@TheKarmasonicOne]

Can't wait to get this. If you want RS1 catalog, will there be a huge charge?

[@richardrushton1394]

Will this work with any guitar?

[@ElioKuma]

Will my songs from Steam's Rocksmith 1 (non DLC) be available on the 2014v.?

[@EdDrow]

For the Context, I can play my old dlc songs with the new functions on 2014?

[@dsc_dsc]

i only wanna know if sweep picking will be in!

[@toymachinesh]

Yes

[@alangolbourn6810]

Will @Rockmith2014 be releasing anything new in the future?

[@RicardoR5]

Thats all you need MrCaptainInternet, and of course a console or pc to run the game, you just plug the 3.5 jack of the cable to the guitar or bass, and the usb of the cable to the console, and voila ready to play, its just great and super addictive, i enjoy so much this game, and the new 2014 edition seems even better, i love it

[@Fidhife]

you are likely using HDMI for your sound, when i switched my sound to the audio cables, like it says every time you start the game, and in the manual, there was no latency. it was a huge difference, too, I had at least 1 second lag or more when using HDMI (you can still use it for video, just use the red/white cables for sound)

[@twiggysteve1980]

Comes out friday in the uk

[@rschwanz]

The latency even between your guitar and speakers is such a huge factor, I can't imagine how this game could ever work over the internet. This isn't button mashing, where a hundred milliseconds can be dealt with, this is live music.

[@kallilalli6589]

! question can pc players use there mic to control Rocksmith 2014 and never need to touch there keyboard again ?

[@Cadiuro]

Well, you convinced me.

[@rayhl69]

in previous music games there was a utility to install the songs from other version to harddrive. Since the format is slightly different you would have to download the Rocksmith 1 songs after proving you own the game

[@zoloradomester]

Please make the backgound (and other graphical) effects scaleable.

[@sizemic1]

Yes it will. It was mentioned in a different video.

[@zonavelhalpma]

discout for old costumers ?

[@scaupp]

I was seriously hoping for optional tab versus the flying notes, looks like I don't get that. This is still gonna be a massive improvement and a day one purchase for sure.

[@ForgotMahName]

Any guitar as long as it has a quarter inch audio jack..

[@OkayNo34]

Amazon Uk lists the release date as October 25th , so its at least the same month , if not the same day

[@RicardoR5]

I know right? so fucking hyped to play it :D

[@beenay18]

It should have a guitar tabulator mode too in addition to highway mode. fast licks with lots of notes are impossible to see in highway mode.

[@Paulie8K]

Between GTA 5 and Rocksmith 2014, I would like to wish a farewell to my friends and family till about Christmas.

[@toymachinesh]

Good

[@TMS5100]

guitar tab mode please!

[@MrJohbje02]

Do you have to buy all the songs or do you get some playlists/songs with the game?

[@carltonhanks6679]

There are around 50 songs in the game, then you can buy extra songs.

[@youscootyou]

can you completely turn off master mode? I hated having to do songs in MM when I didnt want to

[@dannyboy785]

Probably the minigames. Like the first one had zombies that you shoot when you get a chord right.

[@Heinousness]

how about a better cable? or ability to use professional audio interfaces?

[@philippebouchard9565]

...and fix that damn latency !

[@Marcel_be]

from the guitarcade games, probably

[@lekoto2011]

It wil be translate to portuguese? Legend or all in one translate?

[@dannyboy785]

Where was that promised???? Can you explain how the ps3/xbox is supposed to retain the games from the RS1 disc? DLC songs are on your hard drive, none of RS1's songs are.

[@XeniKobalt]

Everything looks incredible. I'm just hoping they did something about the stability issues on the last game...

[@IBH94]

why not make a wii u version with a tablet sinti?

[@MrCubanSpy]

The Guitarcade - minigames where you practice by killing ducks and blowing up spaceships

[@pemainpesmalaya6023]

All I want to hear is there's no delay between when I picking the string & the sound come out from the game. Sorry, English is not my mother tongue.

[@Ovalghost28]

When I want good arcade style fun thats easy to pick up and rock out with I play rockband. When I want to improve my actual guitar skill and play songs I wouldnt otherwise want to learn I play rocksmith, great game.

[@toymachinesh]

Probably upload it next week

[@TimHeinz-htimba]

I've never owned a copy of Rocksmith 1 and I just recently bought Rocksmith 2014. My question is, are the DLCs from Rocksmith 1 available for purchase and download for the 2014 edition or will I have to purchase a copy of Rocksmith 1?

[@TheLivingVermin]

P.S. If you run the pc version you can use a steering wheel with pedals to control the game.

[@Gabivador]

Yep, the game is coming out WORLDWIDE on 22nd of october

[@rayhl69]

they had that in the last one because one of the mini games you shoot zombies

[@gigioasb]

Me too, for the record, the GTA games never liked to me. With the first Rocksmith I lost my fear to take a guitar and play; maybe I'm not a good guitar player, but is a great step forward.

[@heythereskinwalker]

I'm so excited I'm more excited for this than GTA5! ;P

[@lucas.n]

it would be great if Non Stop Mode was grouped by tunning :(

[@TheLivingVermin]

I hope they cover intonation of the guitar.

[@BMRazor80]

guitarcade minigames like dawn of the chordead etc

[@ham4fun]

how can i get different songs on the game for Xbox360 if i dont have Xboxlive?

[@hackfraud7842]

you need xbox live or at least internet connection and buy xbox points on a video game store

[@BrutalOppressor]

Connect your Xbox to the internet and make a free silver account. Then you can purchase the DLC. I recommend buying a prepaid Xbox money card so you don't have to put your credit card info on your account. Microsoft always seems to screw you over if you have you card on there.

[@ham4fun]

yeah i got the Xboxlive like a month ago. just havent got the new music yet. been playin other games lately

[@Pr0v0kat0r777]

Please rocksmith guys! make a tabulature view option!!! Thumbs up for them to see this!!! This is really what rocksmith lacks!

[@malibeliubat2]

any guitar!

[@Delaypat]

Probably asked, but will bass be included, or is it another dlc?

[@JakeSeattleX19]

Multiplayer on songs could be done, just not live. It would have to be played solo on both sides then recombined for post play. like what you already see after playing a song in rs.

[@toymachinesh]

3:55 all you need to hear

[@Zieekel]

Methinks that's about the Guitarcade

[@ultimatum1895]

hopefully it registers power chords properly in this one, there are some songs i damn near pop the strings from how hard i have to strum to get the fucking notes to register and as a small, little detail of a want, i hope there are more varieties of guitar,damn near all the guitars in 1 were the same bodies of Les Pauls, Super400's and Flying V's GAAAAAAAAAAAH I CANT WAIT FOR IT!!

[@andrew1735]

you can always just get the PC version like me. There's tons of custom songs and im pretty sure they would have almost everything you want

[@MetroidTixer]

Dude, you are shooting colorful ducks!

[@DOCMETAL665]

hopefully theres a mosh pit for the metal tracks.

[@MrCaptainInternet]

Do you need anything other than game, cable and an electric guitar, to play this game? I'm new
