Well, it hasn't even been formally announced yet, but apparently one song is already in.

![]() I hope its not PS3+ Also that song sounds like it is going to be on the bonus tracks, sounds like a decent challenge. I really need more Metallica, and for christs sake I need Megadeth. |

I can't understand why the would make another GH. With Rock Band you can do EVERYTHING you can do in GH, right? If so why make another? Isn't just going to be inferior to Rock Band? Why not move the focus entierly to Rockband? Furthermore once you have downloadable content why do you need a new disk at all? It's just new track, just charge a good some for em and you'll probably make MORE money. Whatever I guess.

A) It's 2 different companies who make Rock Band and GH
B) GH is geared more towards hardcore players, RB is more of a party game C) Because people will buy new disks |

and to the point of RB being more of party game you can play single player if you so choose with the same level of difficulty, can you not?

Harmonix made the first 2 GH games (Well, Rock The 80s as well). But they were bought by MTV, and made Rock Band. GH's publisher, Red Octane, which still owned the GH license, gave Neversoft the development duties on GH3.
So, GH1, 2, and Rock The 80s were published by Red Octane and developed by Harmonix. Rock Band was published by MTV Games and developed by Harmonix, and GH3 was published by Red Octane and developed by Neversoft. Different companies. And what I mean by party game is that Rock Band is much easier, and thus more suited as a party game for people to pick up and play. GH3 is WAY harder. |

I didn't know any of that.
I still stand by the fact that I think they stand to make more money by going to strictly to down loadable content. Cutting out the cost of disks alone would save a bundle. Factor in charging by a song by song basis and you have a much more productive structure. |

If GH continues it's trend of crappy songs, I won't care. I'm sorry, but IMO, the tracklist in 3 was awful.

Dunno if I'd actually get this, unless the tracklist really appealed to me. I'm getting abit burned out of the series.
Oh and if Dance Magic Dance gets in, Magic Baby has got to aswell

GH3 has a great list, I'm more interested in what features they're gonna add. GH3 and RB aren't the same kind of game, but there's no denying a sense of rivalry between the two. I'm wondering if RB's gameplay will have Neversoft add some new gameplay types like the better-than-I-thought Battle Mode.

What i'd really like is some sort of master disc with the previous games on it, the first GH i own is for the Wii, therefore I am missing out.

They just need better songlists and note charts that are fun to play.

Exactly. I don't mind if the charts are challenging, but make sure they're fun too. Some of the note charts in 3 are like "Ugh, I don't like the song, and the chart is a pain in the ass... Why would I ever play this again?"

If the notechart is fun, I will play it, even if it's hard, and even if I'm not big on the song. GH3 felt like a chore a lot of the time, which is why I've barely touched it since Rock Band came out. I'm not trying to directly compare them, since Rock Band's supposed to be more accessible, but still.... |

To GH3's credit, the last two dlc packs have had really fun notecharts imo. Maybe not at harmonix's level yet, but it looks like neversoft is getting better.

excluding linkin park, but that has more to do with the fact that they chose linkin park. Not the best band for guitar hero.

Im sure the dudes at RedOctane, and Activision had this planned all alone
Lead Designer: How about a 50000 Note song, that is brutally difficult, and almost impossible to perfect. Cronie: Well to drive people insane we need a annoying band to take the song from All:.............DRAGONFORCE and violen! |

Why So Curious?
Posts: 3,408

Somehow, I still see them considering a country edition of GH, seeing as how we're seeing alot of this "rock country" crossover stuff going on. I would be kind of curious of that, actually. Could get some new fans if they do that ("yeah, man. Some moonshine, a CD of Bush's best speeches, and some Guitar Hero! WHAT A LIFE I HAVE!!"....no, that was not something I would say).
But I just got into the series, so I'm one of those people that will be really awaiting a new full GH game, whatever it is. Really, the only thing that Activision did wrong is that they should change the star meter graphic back to what it was (I played GH3 before the original one, and the originals star power bar was way more telling of how much you had compared to 3's light bulb thing). 3 was very challenging, but maybe more challenging than it had to be. Outside of those three things, they didn't do that bad of a job (Activision has a reputation to uphold, IMO, since they have a HUGE history going back to the 2600. Hopefully that's not lost on them now). The "practice" mode was an excellent idea, though, since it could be just one part that fucks everything up for you. Hopefully they keep that in (makes it look more realistic, too). A feature I would like to see is something that Rock Band did, where at certain points, you can "switch up" the notes to make it sound more interesting, or a "big finish" where you could just go wild with the note playing, but you would have to strum a certain note at the end to get the biggest points out of it (or make a new "live band" mode that will allow you to do stuff like that). Also, why is the "tuning up the guitar tutorial" even IN the game if you never have to do it (I never seen any difference)? Either require it or take it out of the tutorial altogether. One song I can see them adding: Aerosmith's Dream On. Want to play that one. |

^+1 on Comfortably Numb. Be even cooler if they could have the live version with the extended outro. Maybe even put Stairway on there.

Got something else that I think they could add to it.
We all know of the five star reviews being the best you can do, but what if you could get something extra special as a bonus for getting a 100% note hit rate (as in, if you can hit EVERY SINGLE NOTE in the note chart in a particular song). Like a free unlockable or something like that in Career. I'm sure there's been a few people that have been able to hit every note in a song (I have on occasion). Since it's VERY hard to keep up a streak for so long, they should give a special reward for doing something like that. |
