[Opio]

<3 the kinks

[flipp jackson]

this is probably going to be worse than rocks the 80's

[firmdragon]

this is probably going to be worse than rocks the 80's

probably. i really don't think the number of people that like both aerosmith and guitar hero is as much as people think

[Optimus Fag]

where are you guys ranked in GH3? im currently 31,593 :(

[Francis Wolcott]

the kinks used to open for aerosmith?

[the sick]

where are you guys ranked in GH3? im currently 31,593 :(

how do you check your rank?

and does it include scores on easy and medium? on which I would have zero

[gnutella]

probably. i really don't think the number of people that like both aerosmith and guitar hero is as much as people think
exactly. doesn't make sense

guitar hero metallica instant hit

[GRANOLEMAN]

guitar hero metallica instant hit

http://www.mackie.com/artists/articles/345/camp_chaos.jpg

[gnutella]

ha i almost forgot about that

[flipp jackson]

you've gotta admit, guitar hero metallica would be a massive hit

[GRANOLEMAN]

It would be, but Metallica would want so much money for a game based entirely on themselves that nobody would make any money off of it probably except for them.

[smile]

heard a rumor of a VAN HALEN gh...
i have no qualms with that.

[dalton]

yeah this game is going to be really dumb. Aerosmith are pretty gay and 99% of the bands they played with are shitty too.

[GRANOLEMAN]

I really like Aerosmith but I would have rather seen Rock Band put something like this out instead.

[dalton]

yeah, it really would be more fit rock rock band.

[fagwhathappened]

I think they'd have a better chance doing genre's instead of bands, or time periods as long as the song list didn't suck like 80's did.

[GRANOLEMAN]

I don't know what is worse actually, 80's or GH3.

[Blindreepr]

GH: Aerosmith seems like it would only be marketable to hardcore GH players or someone who has dreamt of being in a aerosmith cover band all their life and it went unfulfilled so now they have to settle for rocking out alone to those tunes.

Either way it's a pretty sad situation.

[dalton]

that extreme song on 80's was hot shit.

Guitar hero 4 is on the cover of the June issue of Game Informer

Guitar Hero 4 (PS3, 360, Wii, PS2)
- Create a song. Although these exclude vocals due to storage and possible copyright issues.
- You'll be able to name your song as well as creating album art. After you've done all that you can upload it to GH Tunes where anyone can download it.
- You'll be limited to 5 songs at first. But depending on the ratings you get you'll possibly be able to upload 10 or more.
- The song sharing mode will be in the Wii and PS2 versions also, but GI says it's unlikely that it'll be as robust as the PS3 and 360 versions.
- Drums, bass, vocals guitar
- Create a rocker
- Create a guitar and drums
- All songs will be master tracks
- They don't want to discuss specifics on track listing out of fear of being scooped by the competition. However they confirmed 4 bands: Van Halen, The Eagles, Linkin Park and Sublime.
- A new guitar designed by Red Octane that includes a new input mechanic that'll "impact the way you play GH in the future".
- GI saw see through notes while playing that Neversoft said was the new input mechanic and that they were trying to patent.

and the rest of the issue for shits and giggles/discussion
Prince of Persia (PS3, 360, PC)
- Inon Zur is the composer
- Combat is 1 on 1 now rather than having you face groups of circling enemies.
- 1 button will control your sword during combat, another for jumping and another for grabbing and manipulating things.

Resident Evil 5 (PS3, 360)
- The text is mostly just stuff Takeuchi talked about on the Famitsu DVD.
- A few new screens, one showing a chainsaw, an overhead shot of a female character that GI assumes is Claire, and a shot of Chris holding a blonde haired girl who they assume is Sherry.

Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (360)
- RARE says they didn't want to make a hi res version of the old Banjo platformer.
- You create vehicles with parts you find around the levels.
- GI says their first vehicles was a 4 wheeled kart with a spring attached to the bottom that allowed them to jump things. They later found a helicopter blade that allowed their kart to fly. Later they added balloons to the vehicle and put the blade on the back and created a hovercraft.
- RARE showed them a vehicle that was a monster truck that was able to detach its chasis to become a mini bike. When the bike ramped off a cliff it revealed collapsible glider wings and started flying.
- There will be 1,600 parts including weapons that you'll be able to attach to the vehicles.
- The town is called Showdown Town.
- GI says that despite the large focus on vehicles it still features platform elements from the previous games like traditional platforming, tight rope walking and jiggy piece collecting.
- Showdown Town is 16 times larger than anything RARE has created before.
- Every level has a different intro. Nutty Acres begins with a credits spoof of 80's soap opera's like Dallas.
- Note collecting is back and will act has currency that'll allow you to bu vehicle blueprints.
- RARE says there are 15 different challenges spread across 6 different levels. There will also be side missions.

Viva Pinata 2: Trouble in Paradise
- Improved interactivity between the pinata's and the environments.
- Pinata's will mimic each others action and follow the leader around the garden.
- They'll be adding toys for the pinatas to play with like musical instruments, spaced themed toys, and trains that the pinata's will ride around the garden.
- 30 new pinatas.
- 2 new sub areas called Pinarctic and Dessert that'll allow you to travel to new locations and lay traps for the pinatas.
- A photo mode will allow you to upload pictures to the website.
- A drop in and drop out co op mode.
- Improved UI.

[allison wonderland]

wow drums in guitar hero, so does that mean we will use rock band drums or are they making new drums

that would be a lot of fake drum sets in my living room ...

[chintzy]

the whole create a song thing is what interests me the most. it could be really cool or fucking awful.

what would be ideal is if you could link the 360/PS3 to your computer and generate note charts via a tab created in tabit/guitar pro etc etc.

[defhalotones]

heres my two cents..
fuck guitar hero (all of them). I hate the game, and i especially hate people who play it all the time. The time you invest in that fucking game, you could have started learning REAL guitar.

[the sick]

shut the fuck up already

jesus

Guitar Hero: Korn & Limp Bizkit Edition.

[GRANOLEMAN]

I knew it would only be a matter of time before they caved in to making a band style of game with vocals and drums. Now they better be compatible with Rock Band's stuff because I am not filling up my house with more fake instruments.

[flipp jackson]

i'll go on a smashing spree if they expect me to buy another drumset.

[Vega]

I played this 5 days ago
and once again confirmed that this is the worst game ever made

[flipp jackson]

i just read on another messageboard that apparently the 1up podcast was talking about this game and "they were talking about rumors that the "instruments" for Guitar Hero 4 were actually going to be attachments for the guitar--not full-sized instruments like Rock Band."

if that is true then no good

[8-Bit Artist]

[allison wonderland]

i like that it has cymbols or whatever

[Bobby Bluewater]

they should have made it compatible with both so you could at least replace your rock band kit with this..
nobody wants to have 2 fake drumsets in their living room

[gnutella]

i know. i feel bad enough with having one fake set. i store all of that shit in a closet though, but i don't think i have room for another (or if my wife would even let me have another one...)

[allison wonderland]

pathetic

[8-Bit Artist]

(or if my wife would even let me have another one...)

whats it like not having any testicles?

[Vega]

whats it like not having any testicles?

THIS IS COMING FROM A GUY WHO PLAYS GUITAR HERO
THEFUCKOUTTAHERE
YOU BOTH LACK TESTES

[gnutella]

sorry guys, i enjoy sex with my wife more than video games. you want me to leave the board now?

ps - i get the testicles back for the sex, after that, they go back in storage.

[8-Bit Artist]

THIS IS COMING FROM A GUY WHO PLAYS GUITAR HERO
THEFUCKOUTTAHERE
YOU BOTH LACK TESTES

great logic vega. very sound.

[theMAGNUM]

I know what the F? It's bad enough you'd have to have two plastic drums sets stored away but I'm sure they'd put a hefty price on this drumset too!

[allison wonderland]

sorry guys, i enjoy sex with my wife more than video games. you want me to leave the board now?


Cmon that argument is just as bad as the "you should be playing a real instrument you fag" one

Sent from my iPhone

[gnutella]

fuck you blake. go back to rubbing your foot on your mom's pussy

[Vega]

I BET BLAKE SUCKS HIS THUMB

[allison wonderland]

fuck you blake. go back to rubbing your foot on your mom's pussy


Hey dont say that its uncalled for

[gnutella]

haha true, sorry

[allison wonderland]

I BET BLAKE SUCKS HIS THUMB

i thought trashachusets posted this at first and i guess it made sense

but now i dont get it

[gnutella]

i'm not sure if i want to know why it would make sense if thrash posted it...

[Optimus Fag]

stockholm syndrome is fun

[csb]

http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee88/ImBillPardy/GH4.jpg?t=1210779912

[flipp jackson]

i'd think about this, but the guitar hero series need to figure out how to do DLC correctly

[the sick]

Muse DLC was worth it

looks like I'll be buying this now too

drum prototype is bulky but the cymbals look fun

[Optimus Fag]

now that is fucking badass.

[allison wonderland]

muse dlc?????

[the sick]

yeah gh3

[Optimus Fag]

yeah stockholm syndrome and exo-politics are fun as hell, super massive not so much cause i just hate that song

cant believe the def leppard pack didnt have lets get rocked. fucking LAME.

[simpleton]

heres my two cents..
fuck guitar hero (all of them). I hate the game, and i especially hate people who play it all the time. The time you invest in that fucking game, you could have started learning REAL guitar.

when i was a young lad i played the mario games. a lot. still do actually.
should i get off my ass and go save a real princess??

[Optimus Fag]

haha yeah exactly

all these fags bitching about it, how many other simulation games have you played, and do you go out and do them? race cars at high speed, play football, SHOOT CUNTS etc, why not go do that in real life? fuck off.

[allison wonderland]

Guitar Hero World Tour Video Debut

[chintzy]

there is absolutely no way im buying another fake drumset. hopefully the rock band one will work with this.

[csb]

there is absolutely no way im buying another fake drumset. hopefully the rock band one will work with this.

very doubtful. best thing about the trailer was lenny kravitz

[GRANOLEMAN]

there is absolutely no way im buying another fake drumset. hopefully the rock band one will work with this.

Why not man, this gives you the excuse to put in that fake studio you've been wanting to build.

[bigsnack]

Man the people in that debut were REALLY rocking out. I felt like I was at a huge rock concert just watching that.

[chintzy]

Why not man, this gives you the excuse to put in that fake studio you've been wanting to build.

fake wife, fake monster truck, and now a fake studio? come on. what do you take me for? some kind of faker?

or something.

[flipp jackson]

the drums do look like they are designed better than rock bands' at least.

[allison wonderland]

two fake drum sets YES

[GRANOLEMAN]

The upside of owning two fake drum kits is that you have enough to make a fake Neal Peart kit.

[flipp jackson]

that would be great if someone hacked the two sets apart, put them together into one super fake set

[unjust881]

that would be great if someone hacked the two sets apart, put them together into one super fake set

I can see the Utube videos now, I imagine the next installment will be Orchestra Hero or something comparable

[chintzy]

i just dont see why they wouldnt make the rock band drums compatible. i mean, its just a usb peripheral. i can understand why they wouldnt, but i know a lot of people wouldnt even bother with the drums if they didnt make it compatible. i know i wont.

[flipp jackson]

because the guitar hero drumset has 5 pads and the rock band drums have 4?

[chintzy]

well fuck em then.

[the sick]

$

[chintzy]

i also cant see how revolutionary this new gh guitar is going to be.

sure,i'll buy it but fuck the drums right up the pujols

[Rico Suave]

The Game Informer article shits all over Rock Band.

Almost annoying to read.

ACTIVISION UNVEILS GUITAR HERO® WORLD TOUR - THE DEFINITIVE ROCK & ROLL MUSIC VIDEOGAMING EXPERIENCE
New State of the Art Wireless Instruments

Innovative Music Studio Lets Players Compose, Record, Edit and Share Music

Biggest Selection of On-Disc Music with All Master Tracks

Robust New Eight-Player "Battle of the Bands" Mode

First Game Ever in the Guitar Hero® Franchise to Allow In-Game Downloadable Content on Wii

Santa Monica, CA - May 22, 2008 - When the house lights go down this fall, a new generation of axe shredders, drummers and fearless frontmen will come together and rock with Activision, Inc.'s (Nasdaq: ATVI) Guitar Hero® World Tour. The latest installment from the #1 best-selling video game franchise of 2007, Guitar Hero World Tour will transform music gaming by marrying Guitar Hero's® exhilarating guitar gameplay, with a cooperative band experience that combines the most advanced wireless instruments with revolutionary new online and offline gameplay modes. The game will feature a slick newly redesigned guitar, a genuine electronic drum kit and a microphone, as well as an innovative Music Studio music creator that lets players compose, record, edit and share their own rock and roll anthems, along with online Band Career and 8-player "Battle of the Bands."

Delivering the largest on-disc set list in a music-rhythm game to-date, Guitar Hero World Tour is comprised entirely of master recordings from some of the greatest classic and modern rock bands of all-time including Van Halen, Linkin Park, The Eagles, Sublime and many more. Additionally, the game will offer significantly more localized downloadable music than ever before on all of the next-generation consoles. Budding rock stars will also be given creative license to fully customize everything from their characters' appearance and instruments to their band's logo and album covers.

In addition to a newly designed more responsive guitar controller and microphone, Guitar Hero World Tour will deliver the most realistic drum experience ever in a video game with an authentic electronic drum kit. Featuring three drum pads, two raised cymbals and a bass kick pedal, the drum controller combines larger and quieter, velocity-sensitive drum heads with soft rubber construction to deliver authentic bounce back and is easy to set up, move, break down and store.

"Guitar Hero has set the standard for music-based gaming and with Guitar Hero World Tour and the game's groundbreaking Music Studio, we are once again delivering unprecedented innovation that has the potential to revolutionize consumer generated music, much in the same way that video sharing hubs have driven user generated video," said Dusty Welch, Head of Publishing for RedOctane. "With the introduction of our advanced high-quality new wireless instruments, in-depth customization options and advanced online functionality, the game enables music fans and gamers globally to share in the most social and expressive music experience ever."

Guitar Hero World Tour delivers more ways to play than ever before. Virtual musicians can live out their rock and roll fantasies by playing either a single instrument, or any combination of instruments, in addition to the full band experience. In addition to all of the online gameplay modes from Guitar Hero® III: Legends of Rock, Guitar Hero World Tour introduces Battle of the Bands mode which allows eight players to join online and challenge each other band-to-band to determine who is the best of the best. In the Band modes, up to four players can jam together, online or off, as they progress through the game, and in single-player Career Mode, players can jam on any of the instruments in branching venue progression enabling them to rock out in the order of their choice.

The game's innovative new Music Studio lets players express their musical creativity by giving them access to a full compliment of tools to create digital music from scratch, utilizing all of the instruments, and then play their compositions in the game. Music creators will also be able to share their recordings with their friends online through GHTunes™ where other gamers can download their unique compositions and play them.

Guitar Hero World Tour is being developed by Neversoft Entertainment for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. The Wii™ version is being developed by Vicarious Visions. The PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system version is being developed by Budcat. The game is not yet rated by the ESRB.

[allison wonderland]

i wanna see what the drum chart looks like in game

[flipp jackson]

i'll probably end up buying this

[the sick]

going to have to secure that pedal somehow

hope the cymbals can take a beating

[Optimus Fag]

fucking badass.

[LAUR N]

i will definitely buy this, cant wait.

[unjust881]

Kinda glad I held off on Rock Band now, so I can see which one I like better and not have to worry about multiple plastic drum sets

[csb]

Polish gaming site suggests, that Guitar Hero IV was renamed (to Guitar Hero World Tour) due to it's contraction - "G HIV".

[WifePunch]

Did anyone see this vid yet showing the behind the scenes for the drums?
Looks pretty sweet, but not sure how I feel about my house being filled with fake drum sets. I wonder what rock band 2 has in store?

From Kotaku.com

Guitar Hero: World Tour Priced; More Expensive than Rock Band

No official pricing info was included in the voluminous news release, but the Band Kit for Guitar Hero World Tour has been priced on Gamestop, which is (of course) also accepting pre-orders.

The PS3, Wii and 360 bundles will set you back $189.99. The PS2 bundle is 10 bones less, $179.99. Presumably these all include the game, guitar, drums and a mike. Gamestop just put the info up on its website, and Gaming Bits caught the scoop, noting that the bundle is $20 more than the Rock Band Special Edition bundle.

If you want to buy just the guitar and the game, you can get those for $99.99 and $59.99/$49.99 respectively. The release date is Oct. 27, 2008.

Presumably these all include the game, guitar, drums and a mike.

[csb]

Wedbush Morgan analyst -- no, not that one -- Edward Woo uncovered some interesting news after sifting through an Activision SEC filing this week. According to the filing (via Gamespot), the company plans to launch Guitar Hero: Metallica in Fiscal 2009, which for Activision is anytime between now and March 31, 2009.

No other details are known other than its existence. Will it be guitar-only or multi-instrumental à la the upcoming Guitar Hero World Tour? Regardless, we're guessing that long-awaited new single won't debut on Rock Band anymore.

[allison wonderland]

why cant they make a spinoff of a good band?

[the sick]

[Optimus Fag]

Man I don't know why they even bother with GH3 stuff anymore. OMG WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE MOST DLC EVAR!!!!

[csb]

from joystiq
That Xbox marketing survey just keeps on giving: a slide on Guitar Hero 4 presents a $180 pricetag for now-gen consoles, $170 for PS2 including all instruments. Just the software? They're asking $60 for 360 and PS3 versions, and $50 for their lower-def cousins. A handful of artists are also name-dropped - Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins, Korn, System of a Down, Ozzy Osbourne, Interpol, Muse ... "and dozens more" - but what we're really interested in is this bit about an "all new wireless guitar controller with the first-ever touch-sensitive neck slide." We snuck a peek at the brandless guitar in the game's trailer and, though touch-sensiitive reads to us like "no buttons" - a claim that's as worrisome as it is intriguing - it certainly appears to have buttons in the pic above.

Of course, pricing information is always subject to change (read: let's wait to see what Rock Band 2 costs) and this survey doesn't include the game's "World Tour" subtitle so we're not entirely sold on the veracity of this information. Again, all eyes towards E3 where all will be revealed (we assume).

[chintzy]

what the hell does "touch sensitive neck slide" mean?

Top Gun Theme Free on Guitar Hero III

To celebrate Fourth of July, and perhaps move a few more Guitar Hero IIIs, Activision is giving away the Top Gun Anthem song via the Playstation Store and Xbox Live starting this Thursday.

Anthem is the guitar-heavy song from Top Gun, not to be confused with Kenny Loggins's Danger Zone. Unfortunately the free DLC won't include a heavy metal fro or aluminum parachute pants.

Man I had no idea this video existed, holy shit is it awesome.

No that really doesn't look fun, it's not your computer. Looks like they are fucking up the charts yet again. Time will tell, but I'm not holding out much hope.

Activision: ‘Guitar Hero: World Tour’ Is Compatible With ‘Rock Band’ Instruments

At Activision’s unofficial E3 press conference Tuesday evening, one of the developers of this fall’s “Guitar Hero: World Tour” made a quick comment to the crowd about the new “GH” game being compatible with non-”GH” instruments.

Later, I asked for clarification.

Two Activision representatives confirmed that the age of cross-game instrument incompatibility is nearing its end.

They explained that the Xbox 360 version of “Guitar Hero: World Tour” will indeed be compatible with the instruments for the first “Rock Band.” The “GH” developers have, for obvious reasons, not been able to test their new game with the upcoming “Rock Band 2.” Other third-party guitar and drum controllers are expected to work with “GH: World Tour” as well.

Activision isn’t ready to address whether the instrument compatibility applies to Wii, PS2 and PS3 versions of “Guitar Hero” and “Rock Band.” But a rep told me that a recent auto-downloaded title update to the Xbox 360 version of “Guitar Hero: Aerosmith” should make that game compatible with non-”GH” guitars, including the “Rock Band” ones.

[LAUR N]

well hopefully the opposite works as well. RockBand's guitar sucks and i dont want to have to buy that set so i can play both.

[LAUR N]

oh ya and anyone here buy Aerosmith? I bought it about 2 days ago and it took me a whole day to beat hard (I didnt have to repeat one song, and I still haven't even beat hard on 3), the difficultly level has been lowered a lot, and I wasn't really feeling any of the songs.

[the sick]

Hot for Teacher sold me on this.

[321Drum!]

I don't know what you guys are talking about. The new drums look awesome and the charts are pretty spot on if you ask me. The Santeria chart looks fun as hell.

[Bobby Bluewater]

i wonder how rock band drums work with this if gh4 has 5 drums instead of rock band's 4?

[RagingT]

I think I heard something about the game recognizing automatically whether you have Rock Band drums plugged in, and it reduces the chart down to 4 pads instead of 5.

[flipp jackson]

there are a handful of songs on there that i wish that were on the rock band setlist (roland, one armed scissor, stinkfist) but a lot of the good ones on there are either already in rock band or are going to be in rock band 2, so no big deal.

on a whole though i'd say that rock band 2's setlist is looking better because while there is some really good stuff there, theres a whole lot of crap too

[milhouse]

Holy shit. That setlist rapes the rock band 2 setlist imo. I'm way more excited for gh4 than rb2.

[ceribrik]

yeah that setlist is sweet. I see myself playing everlong, one armed sissor, and stinkfist for days straight

[allison wonderland]

22 songs i want to play on that list

i think rock band had like 7

[WifePunch]

I aggree I feel like this is a better setlist than rockband 2. Tool, Slayer Metallica, Megadeth. I'm sold, I need to preorder this. It seems sorta weird that each tour only has 3 songs in them though.

I'll be getting both anyways

there are just as many good songs on that list as are on the guitar hero list. Also some of the bands that are on both setlists have better songs on the rock band 2 setlist (Rage Against the Machine, Beastie Boys)

Also it looks like 5 or six songs are also on rock band 2 and there are a few that are in the first rock band

A list of songs has been floating around online today, purportedly comprising the Guitar Hero: World Tour setlist. With songs from bands like Tool, Pink Floyd and Thin Lizzy, it looks like a music-game lover's dream. Well, the folks at Activision and Red Octane are pinching us all awake with the announcement that it's a fake. We spoke with a representative who confirmed that, while some of those songs are indeed in the game (Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher," for one), the bulk of it is wishful thinking and pure speculation.
And we were so looking forward to the boss battle with bassist Sting, too. Drat.

Now if they had some ZAO they might be onto something.

[WifePunch]

So I played Guitar Hero 4 today and it felt exactly the same as rock band. The new drum set is pretty cool, feels alot better than rock bands. The pads have really good bounce back, but seriously its exactly the same as rock band. I didn't see any of the music studio stuff, but I'm not sure if I would really spend that much time with it anyway.

Has anyone else tried it out yet?

[Rico Suave]

How are the drum charts?

Where did you play it?

[WifePunch]

Everyones gonna laugh but I got dragged to the Paramore show last night, and they had a Guitar Hero 4 booth setup. The drum charts for Misery Business were cake on hard but that's not really hard to play. Ajusting to using the cymbals for the yellow and orange was pretty easy.

I didn't get to try Everlong, but They had about 10 songs you could pick from.

I'm pretty sure I saw my friend's wife in that video, she works for Neversoft and got started in the motion capture aspect of it, don't know if she's still in that area/department though. But she's done a ton of work with musicians on both guitar hero 3, and the new one. Apparently when Slash came in for III he was just chain smoking nonstop and ashing his cigarettes on the floor or anywhere he pleased in their office.

From 1up.com

The morphine drip of information on Guitar Hero World Tour just keeps on trickling out. On Friday Activision revealed that The Police will be contributing both a song and a digital representation of frontman Sting to the game. Joining them will be progressive metal group Tool, who are providing the band simulator with a whopping three tracks plus a custom venue. The full list of newly added music looks something like this:
"Demolition Man" by The Police
"Parabola" by Tool
"Schism" by Tool
"Vicarious" by Tool

Parabola should be fun, should have picked better songs though than Schism and Vicarious.

Foreigner, Blind Melon, R.E.M. among Guitar Hero World Tour launch DLC

Perhaps driven mad with pleasure at the idea of how much money they'll be making with Guitar Hero World Tour, Activision will be heaping a dizzying amount new downloadable tracks on consumers in the game's first week of release ... as long as, you know, they pay for it.

First up is the Classic Rock Track Pack with "Rock and Roll Band" by Boston, "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner and "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield. That will be joined by Blind Melon's "No Rain" and (exclusive to 360 for two weeks) a trio of new R.E.M. tunes: "Horse to Water," "Man-Sized Wreath" and "Supernatural Superserious."

All of the packed tunes will be available separately and we still don't know how much any of this will cost us.

[Bobby Bluewater]

alright so i tried guitar hero 4 last night for about 30 minutes
it is to gh3 what rb2 is to rb, a decent upgrade

same art style as gh3. they added custom characters, for solo's they have semi-transparent "lines" that show you what direction the notes are heading which is weird as first. the timing window is about the same as gh3 if not a little more tighter. i personally like the timing window better than rock band 2 but charts like smashing pumpkins-today and bon jovi-living on a prayer are way more fun on rb2.

only got to try a handful of songs and they were pretty easy since i was only at the beginning of expert tour. the 311 tune is really fun to play, 'R.E.M - this goes out to the one i love' was decent but a lot of the songs feel like you have to play them as a band to get the full effect. 'linkin park-what ive done' was really boring. you sit out as guitar during the verses and play the same thing over and over on the chorus.

didnt get to try out the touchpad thinger on the guitar obviously, and didnt try out the music creation studio yet

im gonna play some more after work and post again

[LAUR N]

i probably shouldn't buy this any time soon considering i've still only played my rb2 twice since i've got it the day that it came out.

[dalb3]

Looks better than rb2

[the sick]

for solo's they have semi-transparent "lines" that show you what direction the notes are heading which is weird as first.

thats what the touch pad is for, to simulate slides instead of hammer ons and pull offs all the time

[flipp jackson]

touch pad sounds kind of gay

[Hephaestus]

Played a few hours worth tonight. Vocals are fucking hard as hell. I was getting 88% on Nirvana songs I know like the back of my hand...on Medium, and not a whole lot better on Easy either (I should note there is a beginner before both of those). Dicked around with the music creating thing and am really not impressed at all. It requires the motion sensor in the necks in order to change keys and considering you only have 5 frets, it's really hard to put a riff down. One that happens to go into another key is really out of the picture. I've heard you can somehow work MIDI sequencers into this game, and that honestly seems like the only way people are really going to be able to create decent songs that can be taken seriously.
The one thing that bothered me most though is that even with the numerous effects/amp combos, you can only use one sound setting for each instrument, per song. There is no putting down multiple tracks per instrument. You can punch in and out to record parts, but changing sounds will change it for everything you record with that one instrument for the entire song. Maybe I missed something, but I felt I played with this long enough to become pretty fluent with the "software" and interface, yet saw no workaround for this.

[flipp jackson]

i knew that the creation part would be halfassed

[Bobby Bluewater]

i downloaded a few tracks off of it..they're pretty dinky
the best one was a zelda cover and it was just alright

another thing i noticed today is that the bass is way harder this time around. you have open notes you strum without holding down any buttons
they come across your screen like kick drum lines and you're constantly taking your hand off the frets to strum without and then back to holding down notes
kinda cool to make it more interesting but weird

the sustain notes are weird too..you hold down green for a long note, then strum again for red (while holding green) to sustain both notes then soemtimes strum again (while holding red+green) to sustain the yellow

occasionally they're hammer-ons which is easier but its weird at first

[chintzy]

going to pick this up right now

[milhouse]

thought it wasn't out yet

[Hephaestus]

thought it wasn't out yet

It's not, but we've all got the hookup.

[chintzy]

so far so good, but yeah the song creator is cumbersome and pretty useless. meh

setlist is fun and the character customization is great

[Bobby Bluewater]

every song thats in both rock band 2 and guitar hero 4 that ive played thus far, is more fun on rock band

and lars (the fat metal guy) is skinny in this one!

[chintzy]

holy shit the tool level is incredible. distracting as fuck though. vicarious is awesome

some of these note charts on drums are insanity

[GRANOLEMAN]

holy shit the tool level is incredible. distracting as fuck though. vicarious is awesome

Is everything overcharted like in 3 where it was just a button mashing fest on Expert? I saw a couple videos of Hot For Teacher and it didn't even look like it would be fun to play.

[chintzy]

expert for guitar is alright in the lower tiers, once you get up further it does get pretty crazy.

medium on drums is as far as i can go and even then its tough. i watched my buddy, who is a drummer, play drums on expert and failed about 40% in each time

[flipp jackson]

i tried the drums at best buy today and they were hard as fuck compared to rock band's drum charts

[milhouse]

how are the drums for Guitar Hero compared to Rock Band? Should I buy them, or just get the guitar?

[flipp jackson]

i didn't like them as much, they are a little quieter, but are more bouncy and soft

the cymbals are also like 3 inches raised from the actual pads, i'd rather they all be on the same level or be a little more dramatic ala the rock band cymbal attachments/ion drumset

[milhouse]

how is the response on the drums flip? Does it miss notes or double hit notes like the original RB drumset?

[flipp jackson]

seemed to be a slight delay but that could've been because of the setup at the store.

it seemed like i could never hit the pads fast enough

could be different once it's set up at your house though. it's not something that i would hate it would just take some getting used to

[milhouse]

I've been debating with myself about if I should buy the whole set with the drums....or just get the game and the new guitar, and then buy the new rock band drums to use with both.

Does the Guitar Hero drums work with Rock Band 2?

[chintzy]

so ive been playing with my gh2 explorer this whole time, mainly because ive bonded with it and i wasnt a fan of the gh3 controller. anyways, i just played a few songs with the new guitar and holy feathery jesus, this is the best controller. the touchpad is amazing and being able to slap it, or use it to slide up and down in solos actually works quite well. the guitar is a bit heavier, longer and the whammy bar is about 2 inches longer. the star power button placed at the bridge is cool, not that i would use it, but i suppose for those who do, it will be much easier to reach than pressing the select button. oh and the strum bar has almost no "click" to it whatsoever.

man. this game.

[allison wonderland]

im not lovin it right off the bat. i only did two songs but they seemed really slow and hella boring on hard.

the new guitar is nice though. i hear almost 2 clicks though chintzy. i was getting mad at my sister because it sounded like she was tapping keys on my keyboard like an idiot but it was the sound of the strum going back into place or something. its a soft click when you strum but it coming back makes a weird click. ill probably get used to it, no biggie.

rock band 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ghwt

[flipp jackson]

harmonix >>>>>>> neversoft

[Bobby Bluewater]

Is everything overcharted like in 3 where it was just a button mashing fest on Expert? I saw a couple videos of Hot For Teacher and it didn't even look like it would be fun to play.
yeah its the same here
i just hate how the charts are so random, they always jump from one note to split chords to double notes to fuckin green-yellow-orange right in the middle of a riff or bridge

it throws you off because you dont expect it to be played like that, and they just do it to make the game more difficult as opposed to more fun
i can play on expert fine so its not like i just suck, i just dont feel like ever playing most of the songs more than a couple times cause it seems like a chore to play them

[chintzy]

playing bass with the touch pad is so funky

[GRANOLEMAN]

This game is rather meh.

[allison wonderland]

it is mehsome

[chintzy]

yeah, well it takes a lot to be impressed these days. but like saints row is to gta, this game gives you something else to do. its fun but not ground breaking.

better setlist than rb2

[allison wonderland]

it feels so cheap though, the graphics, menus, sliding table all looks shitty

[chintzy]

yeah the fucking name input system is messed. yellow to select a letter? what?

but hey, gh has never been known for their amazing graphics. hell i would play these games if it was just the scrolling fret board against a black screen.

[kilgore]

dumb question. Can the rock band instruments work with this?

[chintzy]

yeah, but i havent figured out how to activate star power with the rb drums. you're suppose to hit the cymbals on the gh kit, yellow and orange, which is a pad and the kick in the rb kit, no luck though

[sarcoptic]

Speaking on behalf of the PS3 all rock band instruments work in GHWT. The drum charts automatically adjust to the fact you are using RB drums. About time Sony laid the hammer down and make everyone play nice....
