Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles in which Shirley Manson, the lead singer of Garbage who is featured in both those pics, was canceled as it was an excellent show. Just like Firefly was back in it's day.

Okay set list, features are meh. This one waits for a price drop, I could spend on RB DLC instead and get the same number of new tracks - all of which I'd want.

And the genius of Harmonix's plan pays off right about now.

Dunno if this has been mentioned yet, but apparently custom tracks will have more natural sounding guitar sounds, and songs can be made up to 10 minutes in length.

Mind you with the 3min cap I just stare at the screen thinking of a song to create or cover, but at least I don't have to worry about wrapping things up by 2min57secs. That got old quick. My 'writer's block' will still be there but 10min is boss. Shit, 5min would have made my day.

Guitar Hero 5 allows song imports from previous games, features playable Johnny Cash

by Griffin McElroy { 5 hours ago }

We've been blown away by the effort Activision and Neversoft have put into making Guitar Hero 5 actually worth playing -- but their most recent move may be their wisest yet. A recent IGN preview of the title revealed the game will allow players to import "some" of the tracks from World Tour and Smash Hits into GH5 (and Band Hero) for a small fee. In addition, 125 of World Tour's 128 DLC tracks will automatically work in the two upcoming rhythm titles. Of all the features to borrow from Rock Band 2, the removal of bothersome disc-swapping is one of the best.

For those who aren't particularly thrilled by this piece of news, try this one on for size: Johnny Cash will be a playable character in Guitar Hero 5. There's a video of the black-suited man performing "Ring of Fire" after the jump. We suggest checking it out -- but only if you like things that are completely badass.

I think he meant how much the "some" tracks will end up being. Not cost but number.

Remember, RB was all but three, for example. This was ambiguous for a long time, however. They fed us over time, including the majority of tracks, and then "almost all" before we finally got a real number.

with this, I wonder what we get. A handful of tracks? Most? If it's most, I'll love them forever (Especially if I can select what I import).

More on Guitar Hero 5 song import, DLC support (Band Hero will do it, too)

by Randy Nelson { 3 hours ago }

Yes, Guitar Hero 5 is getting all modern-like and letting those who buy it -- and own other GH games -- access all those songs they already bought (on disc or in DLC form) without firing up another title. GH5 and the upcoming Band Hero will work with songs from the Guitar Hero World Tour and Guitar Hero Smash Hits game discs, along with GHWT DLC -- even on Wii.

PS3 and Xbox 360 owners who own GHWT will be able to download a free update from within GH5 that enables DLC backwards-compatibility (for 152 of 158 available tracks) and adds new GH5-specific features to their existing DLC. In order to rip the tracks from GHWT and SH discs will need to purchase what Activision says will be a "nominal re-licensing fee" and have the unique 20-digit code on the back of the games' manuals. As with Rock Band 2, all songs from the discs will be ripped to the systems' hard disks, but unwanted tracks can be individually deleted.

The process will be similar on Wii, with a couple noteworthy differences. First, DLC must be re-downloaded (to add new GH5 features, plus they'll sound better) either en mass or track-by-track to the Wii's internal memory or (thankfully) SD card. There'll also be an individual song copy option for importing disc-based songs from GHWT. Now to find out what those six DLC tracks that aren't supported are ...

Activision clarifies Guitar Hero 5 song importing process

by Randy Nelson { 1 hour ago }
Activision's announcement that songs from Guitar Hero World Tour and Smash Hits can be "imported" into Guitar Hero 5 (and Band Hero) had everyone thinking back to Rock Band 2's ability to rip songs right off the original Rock Band disc. As it turns out, in this case you won't need a disc at all.

We followed up with the publisher to find out exactly how the process works, as it had been referred to as both "importing" and "downloading" on an initial info sheet. The short answer: you'll be downloading new versions of your old songs. "Within the Guitar Hero 5 song import menu, gamers will key in their unique ID from the manual of the previous game, pay a small re-licensing fee and then be given access to download the available songs (like DLC) in a big batch," we were told this morning. That's for PS3 and 360; with the Wii version, the songs can be downloaded on a track-by-track basis.

"This is done to bring these songs up to date with enhanced Guitar Hero 5 features like band moments, expert+ drumming (new for World Tour songs) and the new vocal star power. The game reacts to these songs as though they were DLC and are available in the same play modes," Activision explained.

So, you just need the manual (and a decent internet connection). Unfortunately, this means that some second-hand copies of GHWT and Smash Hits can't be used for the process, as they'll either be missing the original game manual, or their previous owner already redeemed the 20-digit code. "These codes can be used only once," a PR rep revealed. "However, once you have downloaded the content, you are free to re-download it at anytime at no extra cost, if you need to make more hard drive or SD [card] space."

Buy Guitar Hero 5, get advanced copy of GH: Van Halen free

3 hours ago - 12:55 PM on 08.11.2009, Nick Chester 24 comments


Guitar Hero
Activision really wants you to buy Guitar Hero 5, and it wants to give you Guitar Hero: Van Halen... for free. Before it's even on store shelves.
The publisher has announced a ridiculous offer -- buy specially-marked copies of Guitar Hero 5 in September, and it'll send you an advanced copy of Guitar Hero: Van Halen. The catch here is that this is a mail-in offer, and you'll have to wait up to six weeks to receive your copy of Guitar Hero: Van Halen. But considering that game isn't set to hit shelves until December 22, you should quiet your whining.
There's no doubt that this is a fantastic deal, but it does call into question the quality of Guitar Hero: Van Halen. Not only have Activision been quiet on the game for long after its official announcement prior to E3, but now they're giving it away for free. This should be interesting.



OK, that's a good deal

Cool, I'll just tear the codes off the manuals of World Tour and Smash Hits and trade the games in for a copy of GH 5 that has the deal for GH: Van Halen.

You don't have to pre order to get Van Halen do you? I'm sure any proof of purchase would suffice.
