ROCK BAND 4 (PLAYSTATION 4 PS4)

Rock Band 4 is the fourth game in the Rock Band series released five years after the previous main title Rock Band 3. It continues the concept of previous games where players simulate playing music using peripherals designed as instruments for mimic the playing of lead guitar and bass. and drums, and sing the vocals of the songs. Unlike the contemporary Guitar Hero Live, it has backwards compatibility for instruments and content from previous games in the same console family. Wireless guitar and drum controllers from PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of previous rock bands can be used. For PS4 this is done using the existing USB dongle and for Xbox One with a new dongle included with the game. It is also sold as a Band-in-a-Box bundle with a wireless Fender Stratocaster guitar , a wireless drum kit and a USB microphone, or just the guitar. Two instruments introduced in Rock Band 3 are no longer supported: Pro Guitar and Keyboard. The new instruments are quite similar, but have been redesigned. As in the previous game, the drum kit can be expanded with three pads that act as symbols for use in Pro Drum mode. Songs purchased as downloadable content for previous versions of the game can be transferred within the same family of consoles for free, provided they have been transferred to support the features of the new version of the game.
