Holy freaking... Guitar Rising

Just... wow. Freaking awesome. While it doesn't as of yet have the polished look of a good game, I can't wait to see what they have in store. Just saw something mentioned about it in an article from the latest GDC going on right now. Looked it up... and wow.

So how exactly is it different to guitar hero other than the graphics look slightly different?? I hate it when games start copying each other.

Did you not look into it at all? You play with an actual guitar. It starts at the basics and basically teaches you how to play a guitar from the start. A guitar teaching 'game', in the spirit of guitar hero.

Ooo i see, so you can play it with a real guitar? So say the one i have i could use it on this? What system is this game comin out on? Probably not one i have.

They've already done things similar to this before, though they weren't packaged as "games." hopefully, this is a little more accessible.

Looks cool.

I only have an accoustic. Sucks.

Interesting concept though.

I dont wanna play with a real guitar. I want to press my colored buttons and be happy.

Bass?

God, even my Acoustic is electric. :D

I would be thrilled if they came out with Piano Rising. Use one of those keyboards that lights up the keys or something and also associated notes with them on a digital screen, yet also plugged into the TV so you could see it easier.

I don't wanna play any game with the word rising in it, unless it involves a shopping mall full of zombies..

Now..Guitar Dead Rising, that would be hot, you have to learn to play guitar while trying to look stylish and avoid hordes of Zombies at the same time, Id so buy that.

Crowd surfing on top of zombies.

While playing guitar.....That would be hotter then Guitar Rising....

What are you talking about? That is Guitar Rising.

Then, You sold me....I'm preordering 9 copies of it, I'm going to wear that game out.
