As Rocksmith newbie I have already received the 2014er version with cable for the PS3 yesterday and a mega price! The cable itself is high-quality and well known, more than just a phone cable, because it feeds analog signals to digital via USB to the console. However, since you can make anything on the computer, for example, also for home recording, this hardware is for all musicians (or those who want to be) absolutely recommendable. The first version of this guitar learning game that time I had not put on me because I was partially negative reviews and song selection have deterred and think now to be operated clearly better with the new version. Ubisoft has gain experience and user feedback can implement. And this is indeed what seems so far to be the case. I have for the time being chosen not only recommended HDMI cabling with me and can not detect any strong latencies in my device Kombi. The initial set-up and recognition of my guitar was very fluid, also a first update has already been pre-recorded. A costly long installation eliminates the way. The possibilities of the program / game are incredible, the song selection good and the first of them really good times. I'm actually a trained bass player and the guitar no longer beginners. Nevertheless, I started on the 6 strings as a beginner, which is not wrong. Rocksmith will automatically detect how safe you approach a song and you automatically to play more. There are tons of lessons (for beginners and semi-professionals), the partially very nice explain everything in video and introduce them to the techniques. I've got for a night but can not sift through everything by far. There is furthermore another Jammingmode of him shall be accompanied dynamically from a band Arcade games to exercise the Erlenten in another, entertaining context and a sound library, where you from several effects, amps, stacks, boxes ... his guitar - / can customize Bass Sound. The (colored) markings and instructions are advantageously chosen and now everything seems very fluid. Also I want to mention that you can probably use the songs of the first version in the new Rocksmith further here; I myself am but deliberately choose my individual songs and / or bundles in the store.
This should only be a first impression here. I will complete this review in due course.
