About Me


Yo East Coast, where you at?

Hello, fellow D-toiders, my name is Andrew and I reside in New York City. It has been such an amazing experience being a part of this wonderful community. From my activities as a host of the Friday Night Fight events to becoming one of the community members responsible for handling the Destructoid NY group, coordinating East Coast meetups to helping the PAX meetup group, I have loved every minute of my time spent with this community.

Please hang out with other Dtoid members whether it would on the main site chat to your local Dtoid group. It can be life changing, trust me on that.

Guitar Hero On Tour for the DS- You have to see this.
power-glove | 12:10 PM on 03.19.2008 20 comments



That is the first picture of the first portable console version of Guitar Hero from an IGN preview. This game requires the use of only 4 fret buttons ,instead of the usual 5 buttons, with something called the "Guitar Grip", which happens to plus in the DS's GBA slot. The player is required to use the stylus to strum a guitar picture on the bottom screen. To activate the series's famous Star Power mechanic, you are required to use the DS's microphone.
This title will use 20 licensed songs from groups like No Doubt, OK GO, and Nirvana. This game will feature two new characters and local multiplayer which will include the infamous battle mode. in this version of battle mode, you will have to do thing like blow away pyrotechnics with the microphone or force fans to your opponents forcing them them to sign autographs, I am not kidding
There is currently no price point and the game will be rated E10. The developer behind this product is Vicarious Visions
Below is the first video of the title:

This is one title that I have no interest in. The game is going to be really awkward to play and I wonder how the sound quality is going to be.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I believe "Do not want" sums up my feelings on this game. It looks awkward, and having only four buttons will REALLY make the game simpler. Besides, 20 songs? That's it?

Meh.

How the fuck are you supposed to watch the screen with the notes on it while reaching across it to strum (which I'm sure will have contact issues in the heat of shredding)? That shit is just plain fugly.

Wait, you can't look at one screen for notes while strumming on a screen right next to it?

They hold it like a camcorder. Very awkward indeed.

I won't buy it but at least they don't have the EVIL orange button on it.

IGN has another shot of the device that shows it off...sort of.

So I strum with my right and use that the guitar on the other side with my left?

But I'm not a lefty.

This thing just looks akward.

Why the hell would you want to be blasting music out of my DS and screaming into a microphone in public? I'm sure the other people on the subway would just love you for that. I can flail like a tard in my own home thankyoumuch.

Also, I'm going to take that video as evidence that youth abstinence programs are working... too well.

@Kyousuke Nanbu
Left-handed guitar players strum with their left hand and tab with their right. So this setup is actually correct for you.

And guitar hero continues to spiral down the toilet bowl of mediocrity. Will it ever die?

Well that's pretty innovative. Hopefully they'll still have a lefty option.

I wanna try this before I make a judgement call on it. But it looks like theres a part in the game where you have to blow on the mic to "put out the flames" on your guitar. Thats just overused and stupid.

The concept is cool but I can't judge the execution yet.

How awfully awkward.

Plus, 20 songs (most likely of a bad sound quality) and only 4 fret buttons = Not even worth looking at.

looks difficult.... but i may check it out as long as they don't throw a 50 dollar price tag on it. that would be unforgivable.
