Guitar Hero Live
Seems kinda neat, they are changing quite a bit, which is a welcome change.

On one hand, the audacity of Activision the killer of the sub-genre is thick as tear gas tossed in a Rock Band 4 parade.
On the other hand, there's some fucking good ideas in there. Just different enough to be worth a look. The new guitar is interesting. |

Indeed. I was kinda stoked for RB too, even though I enjoyed Guitar Hero more. Hopefully they will bring something "fresh" too.

Using live-action shots of the crowd is a big mistake. Should have stayed with 3D models for the new perspective.

I'll bite - why is one over the other a mistake?

While they recorded enough footage (allegedly) to generate dynamic crowd reactions to your performance you can't possibly create an algorithm using live recorded footage - ALONG with recorded band play (for EVERY song!) to maintain visual sync with your gameplay. This has shown itself 20yrs ago with early Sega CD and certain arcade games. At the end of the day they're using movies that play on cue, and I doubt very much these DJ Hero guys figured out what nobody else ever can.
It's either gonna sync 'just well enough', or have jarring hiccups that will break the immersion. Also factor in multiplayer play which would have to remove a recorded band mate, I assume. Multiplayer wasn't even discussed. They could have used the great new perspective with 3D models (and crowd sounds) that will also animate on cue, rather than hoping to god they recorded enough to meet every possible permutation of play and performance. |

Looks interesting, haven't decided if I'll pick either games up though. Apparently Guitar Hero Live is going to JUST be guitar this time, which appeals to me as I always loved the early Guitar Hero games. But then Rock Band will allow me to use my previously bought DLC.
Tough choice. |

You understand you can simply play RB4 as strictly a guitar game.

Yeah, but always felt Rock Band restricted single instrument players, to really progress and get more fans you needed more instruments.
Does anyone remember the poster Lord of Darkness? Hasn't posted here for a number of years but I know him outside the world of TPWW. Anyway, he recorded a number of scenes as part of the live action crowd, pretty sweet. |

Unlike the previous time, Activision doesn't have plans to annualized the Guitar Hero series again. No plans on releasing a new game for next year.

Fuck yes, Gary Clark Jr.
When My Train Pulls In would have been better though, especially if it's just a guitar game. |

I YouTube these tracks as they're revealed and I gotta say this has a strong playlist, but only because some legendary tracks were already released via RB DLC.
