Zygo Ape Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Oh amazing, i reckon ill cream myself when i get my hands on this, oh jesus i want it so bad. White Guitar for us? Score. I havnt been following this game religiously so does anybody have any word on LIVE support?
That Guy Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I need it and I need it now. Hopefully this will be added to the growing number of Awesome 360 games.
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Still no fucking release date for it.
Zygo Ape Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Still no fucking release date for it. Cant be far off though can it? March latest i reckon
Nintendork Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 MTV acquisition for the win. Probably wont get a Wii version though, even if it sells XX million units. MTV's main aim is to use it's industry contacts to get the songs (new and old) and extend that product to the teenage market that watch MTV. Wii owners aren't in the teenage demographic (in the long run) unfortunately.
Owario Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Oh man, I can't wait for this. Freeeeeeeeeee Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiird
solitanze Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Encouraging. Hopefully we'll see more Sony games lose their exclusivity to the likes of Microsoft and Nintendo.
KKOB Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 i have GH and GH II for PS2 . . . Why do i need it for 360 when its basicly a port with a bit of extra content?
Garden_Pigeon Posted January 7, 2007 Author Posted January 7, 2007 Cool, I never noticed on the box it says downloadable content. If they make constant new songs, it would last real long.
Guest Stefkov Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Cool, I never noticed on the box it says downloadable content. If they make constant new songs, it would last real long. I hope they dont make people pay for the other songs. That sould suck. I may get this. Just for something to pass the time.
Nintendork Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 i have GH and GH II for PS2 . . . Why do i need it for 360 when its basicly a port with a bit of extra content? G@mer points. 360 is just trying to diversify itself a bit as quickly as possible. It's in danger of being known as FPS/racer/sports console.
Eddage Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 May have to pick this one up, should be a goof larf!
Domstercool Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Awesome game. Got them both for the PS2. It really depends on the soundtrack update and download content for me to get it again. Probably wait till it comes cheap.
Owen Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I'm now pleased i didn't buy Guitar Hero 2 for the PS2 like i was going too! Like the fact we can download mores songs etc...that means it would never end! Do you think someone would bring out a adaptor so that PS2 guitars can work on the 360?
1UP Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I'm now pleased i didn't buy Guitar Hero 2 for the PS2 like i was going too! Like the fact we can download mores songs etc...that means it would never end! Do you think someone would bring out a adaptor so that PS2 guitars can work on the 360? well theres already an adapter for the 360 to use a mouse and keyboard + ps2 controller. the mouse and kb is crap, but the ps2 thing is good. But its really expensive, $80
Meik Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I already own the PS2 version of GH1 but i'll be looking to buy this for the online options. If the co-op mode is online, that will seal the deal.
Charlie Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 When does the song list usually get announced? I'm really interested in this and I've never played it before on the PS2. Do we know how much it'll cost?
Guest Stefkov Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 That would be pretty funky, to play against someone online. I can see now, some random people with the vision camer wil lbe dressing up and posing with the guitar for some competition, or just for their own gamerpicture. How much is it on PS2 anyway? I think we could see it for £50 over here. Maybe £55.
Meik Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 When does the song list usually get announced? I'm really interested in this and I've never played it before on the PS2. Do we know how much it'll cost? PS2 version with guitar is £40 on Gameplay, i'd expect it to be £50.
AshMat Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 When i finally get a '360 i will definitely get this.
Ramar Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 When does the song list usually get announced? I'm really interested in this and I've never played it before on the PS2. Do we know how much it'll cost? Similar thing to what I would've posted. When I hear more on the songs and Live content then I'll make a decision.
rokhed00 Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I'm really having a hard time seeing the appeal of GH, sure it's got a cool controller and a decent soundtrack, but when it comes down to it it's just another rythmn game. Doubt I'll be getting this, especially not at the rumoured price of £80.
Domstercool Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 It would be funny seeing you with the guitar. Since the strap isn't the longest in the world, you'd look like a beatle guitarist.
Ramar Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Played Guitar Hero 1 and 2 at a friends flat today, must admit its a lot of fun. This now seems like a sound purchase for me.
