This has to be the most idotic idea I have ever seen.
To I really even need to sate the obvious here?
Whats the point of playing a REAL guitar to a video game???
WHO MADE THIS IDEA, DAMN!
I have a shitty electric guitar in my home. I may try this when it comes out.
Also, I seriously doubt they can make software thats intelligent enough to read a MONO signal coming from a normal 1/4th cable lined into a computer, that just does not work, for one reason, Latency.
It would have to be some form of MIDI pickups on the duitar, and even at that those are pretty damn picky if you are not a really clean guitar player.
weedgan, you clearly have had your brain replaced with foreskin or something of a similar low IQ constitution - this allows a simple and satifying introduction into harder levels of playing guitar. The main wall for me when I used to play guitar was that I wanted to play metallica but I didn't have the technical ablity - this way, you can hear the song in it's entirity even if you are only playing a third of the notes. Genie arse IMO.
I don't know enough about cables and data and all that doo dah to give a fair response to your last comment - but the fact that they won awards for the software at GDC 07 I think would suggest they may have the ability to do this properly.
@double2
There are things that have been around for decades called *gasp* tab books and instructional videos, they are are very good teaching tool, and you don't have to hack a game that is going to play the song back WRONG and teach it too you wrong also.
Is there anybody that just sits down and read the learn stuff anymore?
And I see they use an USB interface, but still, theres latency issues, its just unavoidable.
fair points weedgan, if possibly a little closed minded. I think it could open up *real* guitar playing to many people who find guitar hero a natural and easy way to learn patterns and songs. Meh, who am I to say...
So instead of a tab book or instructional book, this is an instructional game. The idea is the same, technical issues aside, isn't it?
@weedgan: yeah...no one uses pc for recording...oh wait every studio in the country does. They also use Pro-Tools which reads the mono signal and converts it into data the pc can recognise. Seriously what they are trying to achieve is not impossible its barely even hard if you know how to program music sequencing programs
Yeah,it looks cool to me too!
