OH SHIIIIIIIIIIIT

[donkeybeatz]

Rock Band 3 revealed!
Some tidbits from the video:

• There's now a Pro mode (I guess something similar to Guitar Hero's "Expert+" difficulty. EDIT: OK nevermind. It's NOT like that at all).
• Keytar! It also has a touch strip. The model they have is only a prototype though.
• Animation looks damn nice. I can see the improvements over RB2.
• UI looks fairly the same.

EDIT: Here's a bit more on gameplay features and the like:

• Players can jump in or out of songs without interrupting a song already in progress. They can also change instruments or difficulty settings during a song without pausing. (Like the recent Guitar Heroes)
• Rock Band Pro. This new music learning mode lets players develop real-world music-playing fundamentals for keyboards, guitars and drums. More realistic music notations replace the standard color-coded notes during gameplay. For guitar, numbers flow down the screen along six guitar strings, telling you where to place your hands on the neck and when to strum.
• For drums, three new cymbals are added to the standard four drum pads, and you are forced to play the correct cymbal at the right time.
