Sigh.
It was nice knowing you GH franchise.
"WHY ARE THESE DRUMS NOT COMPATABLE WITH THE ROCK BAND DRUMS?"
they want them green backs and god hates rock music(its in the bible)
I'll stick with audiosurf for all by music gameing needs.
since when did guitar hero 4 have vocals and drums now?
I'm not getting GH4 if I can't use the drums I have. Although the raised cymbals look nice, they are still using the crappy foot pedal. The structure itself also looks cheapy.
Goddammit. This price tag is going to suck. And might I add, power-glove, you have been made of so much fucking win recently.
I like those drums.
I might actually get Guitar Hero 4 now...considering I skipped on Rock Band due to the issues it was having with their instruments. Lets see how Activision's instruments hold up.
Seriously power-glove, uber kudos to you. You've been posting some really good stuff lately!
Also, while the drums look kind of cool I've already began looking down on the franchise once Neversoft and Activision got the rights. To me it just doesn't feel the same at all, and it almost feels like the quality isn't as good anymore. In regards to numerous things that I don't feel like getting into at the moment.
GH3 didn't feel the same right off the bat and it was kind of a shame. Once they announced Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, I was seriously like "uhh, wtf?"
They seriously need to work on the note pattern's too, the ones in GH3 felt like they were all over the place and in random spots frequently. Just looked and felt weird at times.
Fuck this.
They're so fucked.
but...I thought Guitar Hero was about Guitar. Damn you Activision. You really know how to mess up franchises.
Looks just like Drum Mania's kit.
But yeah, you can't really call it Guitar Hero anymore if it's not just about the Guitar's. Why not call it Rock Band Hero and be done with it?
The custom track feature is sort of cool, but I'm not sure exactly what that entails. It's going to be a copyright cluster-fuck, I'm willing to bet.
Guitar Hero has now jumped the shark... well done. Long live Rock Band!
I'm guessing the word guitar will be redefined upon this games release. Sooner or later the term "guitar" will describe a full group and / or band.
Rock Hero
Guitar Hero & Friends
i'll wait for Rock Band 2
Fuck.
Fuck fuck fuck.
I kind of like them. Only because of the high hats.
The drums look cool, but I'm fucking done with Guitar Hero and their bullshit.
AYYYYYYY!
Damn it. I want this game. But I don't want to want it. I'm not supporting Activision whoring out the game past its roots. I just know its going to fucking fail. But I want Rock Band to have create your own songs and drums that cool. My only consolation is that Activision will charge an arm, a leg, and the death of Christian Bale for these.
And where the hell did you find these?
I like how they used half of the drum design for the Rock Band drums and then added the symbols. Whatever.
Oh shit, I just realized another reason this will fail- 6 fucking buttons to maintain? Most people can't maintain 5 on Rock Band! Good luck guys.
GC, in the article they discuss how they plan to add open notes to the game which requires a strum with out any of the fret buttons pressed and the vocals in the game will scroll right to left.
I like the two flying cimbals. But those leg stands look ultra-shitty. I see those drums falling to thefloor every 3 songs. And the foot pedal not being docked somewhere=FAIL!
Not excited. The PS3 fiasco with compatibility made me not want to buy any more GH franchise games (that and wandering by the toy section at WalMart and seeing GH branded toys all over)
Powerglove: I meant six on the drum- 5 drum buttons, and a pedal?
GC, I am just giving you guys some additional info, that is all.
Oh don't get me wrong, this is fucking fantastic. You rock.
But seriously, where did this come from? Like, link to where it was posted.
I'll send a PM to you.
Not convinced yet... I'll have to try it first...
Are the two high hats both Yellow?
I'm actually liking the drum design, mostly because of the two high hats. I just will regret having to pay for this. :(
@Resting: I would imagine so. Unless they plan on throwing in another color, which I doubt.
WHY isn't this called "Band Hero"?
OR
Guitar Drum Bass Voice Hero
that thing is ugly as hell
Yeah, those cymbal pads totally won't break.
How NEVERSOFT is changing music games FOREVER
Anyone else find that phrase familiar?
Ehh, I don't know about this. I was really disappointed with GH3. I'll have to try it out before I decide if I want it or not.
Who knows, maybe this could be a good thing. Gives an even better reason for Rock Band 2 to come out. Fuck Neversoft, but hopefully this encourages a sequel to Rock Band
I like the electronic kit ill be getting this summer better than these drums...
That doesn't look as good as the Rock Band one.
If I can't buy a copy of GH4 and use my Rock Band set. I'm going to say NO.
And Rock Band 2 is sorta announcedish, more options but no more peripherals(Thank God!). Now, where the hell did I hear that...
@AngelsDontBurn: You just explained exactly how I feel about the Guitar Hero franchise ever since Activision/Neversoft took over. I LOVED the first two games, but the note charts in the third one were just absolutely ridiculous in places, and I stopped playing it less than a month after I bought it. I got Rock Band in mid-December, and I haven’t played my copy of GH III since.
These look cool, and I like that they added the cymbals in — but how can you not have the foot pedal locked to a center bar, like in the Rock Band drum set? Also, like Gynecologist Cobra, I don’t want to want this. I really don’t want to spend another $200 (or whatever this bundle is gonna cost) on fake plastic instruments, and if Activision is going to keep releasing songs in three-packs that cost $6.25, they can go to hell.
Also, power-glove, you are my hero.
I'm very mixed about this, for me It will depend on how the charts look for everything and the songs it has.
I actually just read the article, and it just seems like Activision/Neversoft are just making things up.
For instance, "The natural evolution of the game is to add more instruments. It's not like Harmonix even invented that. It's been in the arcades for years.
And yet, they think that they're changing the entire music gaming industry. I can't wait to see this all crumble.
It kind of sucks that they're essentially making us choose between GH and Rock Band. I haven't bought Rock Band yet and want to now, but now I'm faced with either committing to that or waiting for GH4 because the instruments are obviously going to be even less compatible than they are now. Heck, I'm still pissed that I can't use Rock Band Guitars for Guitar Hero (weren't Harmonix the ones preaching about compatibility?)
I'm definitely pretty skeptical about GH4. I've found Rock Band to be much more accessible than GH3 was, which just burned me by being difficult to the point of not being fun. If GH4 (or Aerosmith for that matter) are more like GH3 than the others then I'll definitely pass.
The Tracklist and will depend on me buying this...Also hoping they announce a Rock Band styled DLC...
OHH MISSASSIPEE QUEEEEN
IF YA KNOW WHAT I MEEEN!
Ug. Well I've already invested in Rock Band so I can't see myself buying another set of plastic instruments.
2 words:
FUCK NO
It hurts because they are the biggest whores in gaming and I dislike supporting them, but based on the features and the inclusion of The Eagles, I will most likely buy this Bullshit. I hate Activision, and that's saying something coming from me. I love greed and money, but they just go too far. They disgust me with their blatant rip-offs.
