For the uninitiated, the Rock Band franchise is a series of music video games that allow gamers to simulate the performance of rock songs by playing with controllers that are modelled after musical instruments. You have to memorize every part of the song, in order to play it flawlessly.
Players who are performing great will have an increasing difficulty in the Brutal mode as the Brutal Bar goes up along their performance. The idea is that the better you play, the less you’ll see of the notes.
Nonetheless, as cited by Game Rant, the upcoming update for “Rockband 4” will also include improvements, bug fixes and tweaks to the existing features of the game, such as in-game notifications, Activity Feed, and Taunt System in its Score Challenge features.
