13-12-2009 1:49pm#1Just been announced by Harmonix.LOS ANGELES / NEW YORK – Dec. 12, 2009 – Multi-platinum selling and Grammy® Award winning group Green Day, along with Harmonix, the leading developer of music-based games, MTV Games, a part of Viacom’s MTV Networks (NYSE: VIA, VIA.B), and Warner Bros./Reprise Records today announced at the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards that they are collaborating on the standalone title Green Day: Rock Band™.
“We’ve worked with the Rock Band team in the past year to enable our fans to play tracks from 21st Century Breakdown, and we’re excited to now be working on a game, spanning our entire career,” said Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong. “We want people to fire this up, choose their favorite Green Day tracks, and play along with us as Rock Band avatars so they can feel what it's like to perform on stage as Green Day."
The game is an extension and expression of Green Day’s most-defining albums and key moments throughout their career to date. It will feature likenesses of Green Day members Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool, as well as select venues and art specific to the band's history. The title will be available globally in 2010 for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Wii™ system from Nintendo. In addition, the track list will be fully exportable, giving players the opportunity to play the songs in Rock Band™ and Rock Band 2™ on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation3.
"Green Day's music and explosive live performances transcend age barriers," says Tom Whalley, Chairman/CEO, Warner Bros. Records. "By partnering with the band and Harmonix, Warner Bros./Reprise is thrilled to help create a Rock Band experience devoted exclusively to their impressive catalog. This game will appeal to fans of all ages, including those who love their recent best-selling albums and those who've loved Green Day throughout their long, incredible career."
“It's very exciting to work closely with Green Day to create an experience that captures the incomparable sound, look and feel of the band,” said Paul DeGooyer, SVP of Electronic Games and Music for MTV Networks Music Group. “'Green Day: Rock Band' is yet another example of how music fans can connect with some of the greatest music ever recorded via the Rock Band platform.”
“This game will feel like a natural extension of Green Day and their music that will deepen the fans’ connection to the band and their history,” said Alex Rigopulos, CEO and co-founder of Harmonix Music Systems. “Fans will be able to enjoy some of the greatest songs from the Green Day catalogue in this standalone game or via Rock Band due to full export capability. We are thrilled to work with Green Day to revisit key moments from their career, including their likenesses, content and imagery, through our innovative form of musical interaction.”
This latest Rock Band title aims to encapsulate the spirit and energy of a band that has sold more than 50 million records worldwide and been hailed as one of the best live acts touring today. Green Day has won critical acclaim and numerous accolades, including Grammy Awards for Best Alternative Album for Dookie, Best Rock Album for American Idiot and Record of the Year for their smash hit "Boulevard of Broken Dreams." Earlier this year, Green Day released their eighth studio album, 21st Century Breakdown, on Warner Music Group’s Reprise Records. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, as well as on the Rock, Active Rock and Alternative charts, fueled by the alternative radio No. 1 single “Know Your Enemy.”
In addition to the game announcement, Green Day will bring three more tracks from 21st Century Breakdown to the Rock Band Music Store as downloadable content on Tuesday, December 15th. The three pack of songs will include, "Christian's Inferno," "Last of the American Girls," and "¡Viva La Gloria!," all from 21st Century Breakdown. These songs, as well as Green Day tracks previously released on the Rock Band platform, will be supported in Green Day: Rock Band.
Can't wait
EDIT: I'm not actually sure when this was announced, so this might not actually be news to you guys, but it's the first I've heard of it

It's been common knowledge for a few month but theres the official confirmation there.
Not sure how I feel about this one, I do like old pre-american idiot greenday.
But a 40+ song game?
Looks like RB3 is as far away as ever
at least this offers export unlike the beatles.
Edit here is a video i found http://www.gametrailers.com/video/green-day-spike-tv/59819
Q rant: so we have this , pearl jam and the who next year then RB3 at the end of the year, possibly a lego RB 2?????
Looks like the temptation to follow GH was too much for them, the games will surely be good but too much of a good thing?
WOnder if we are getting full on games like the beatles or a 20 song track pack of these?0 -

Their game is published by EA. At what point did they *not* sell out0 -

How will this offer any kind of challenge? It's all chords isn't it?
Many round these parts thought the same about the Beatles, including me.
I'm happy to say we were proved wrong on that one, they managed to make even the easy beatles songs interesting to play, so I have no doubt they will do it with green day too.0 -

Ya! I play drums by default and the drumming in Blink is always frantic, interesting and lots of fun to play definitely get amped up by playing their songs on drums (even if the newest DLC has two slow songs...) 0 -

Sure it will, hell's I even used my explorer form GH2 on beatles
The only thing I found though it was a bitch to sync wireless controllers with it, unless you have a rare in these parts RB2 wireless guitar with it's auto calibration wizardry, so when I had friends playing with me on RB using wireless instruments it was a right pain to get it 100%
Then I got a RB beatles guitar at xmas and auto synced it and now the other GH wireless instruments work perfectly
Not impossible to sync GH guitars just a pain of trial and error for a few minutes till you get it right, after that its cool for cats and many (not me) prefer GH guitars.0 -
