If you were hoping to continue rocking out to Green Day with DLC, you’re going to be disappointed. It was just announced that there will be no additional DLC whatsoever for Green Day: Rock Band.
Harmonix explains why there won’t be any Green Day DLC but there was for The Beatles:
“One of the reasons we could do open-ended DLC for The Beatles is that it’s all tiny clips, and we could just reconfigure them for different songs as needed — and dreamscape backgrounds similarly had that.
With this, we’re really creating sculpted experiences for every single song; there’s an animation that plays all the way through, pretty much. That’s something that’s not really practical to do open-ended. So we decided we were going to make DLC just about finishing 21st Century Breakdown, using the DLC that was already out.
That created a great three-album game, and also let us give each of those [six DLC tracks] unique assets, more than we could easily pack into a DLC pack. Those songs have their own video-wall assets, their own [motion capture].”
Bummer.
