Posted June 18, 2007 This has the potential to be such a massive seller on the Wii! which will have an even bigger user base by the time of its release. System seller aswell. Yeah defo...It will be cheaper because the Wiimote has the bluetooth transmitter in it so it won't need any of that just some for it to slot and plug in, whereas the other versions will need a transmitter in there.

Posted June 19, 2007 Don't really know where to post this, but - Rock Band!!! http://www.arrogantics.com/2007/06/16/game-informer-scans-show-details-on-new-harmonix-project-rock-band/ Check out the scans of the prototype drum kits and guitars. Looks like it will overshadow Guitar Hero 3 in my opinion although they'll probably both sell awesomely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, Rock Band is the true successor of GH3. (The Developers of GH1/2 are making Rock Band, not GH3) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 19, 2007 the guitar looks great but expensive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 19, 2007 Well, Rock Band is the true successor of GH3. (The Developers of GH1/2 are making Rock Band, not GH3) True dat! GH3 is being made by Neversoft instead of Harmonix, and Harmonix are making rock band. As it says in teh article. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 19, 2007 Rock Band Guitar looks Sweet, can't wait to get my hands on it, can't wait for it all, not sure how i'll fair with the 10 Frets but who cares it's all fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 19, 2007 I'm really hoping Rock Band comes out on Wii as well, and I hope Neversoft won't screw up Guitar Hero. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2007 How the hell are you supposed to play the drums with that thing?! One pedal, four toms. Ergo, lacking: cymbals, another bass-drum pedal, and the hi-hat pedal. Not for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 20, 2007 One: Fool, read the article, fool. Read it man And the comments remain :p It seems to me that the panels are contextually related to the music (ie, green is now the ride, now a tom, now a china,...), which is just plain bollocks in my opinion. Conversely, I've got no problem with the guitar being simplified to its GH1/2 state, as I think that that instrument is a lot more "logically simplifyable."

Posted June 20, 2007 Sorry about that man... Any new info about that other game we were talking of? :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2007 now i really do want them to change the button on the controller so it looks like a pick up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2007 Okay, here's the Wii Les Paul controller, as seen on IGN: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2007 I don't see how that design will work. The Remote just won't fit in like that securely... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2007 ^Very True. May keep falling out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2007 I think the plug would keep it in place guys, but I don't see how the controller would fit in there whilst plugging in the bottom of it, it looks to snug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2007 I don't want my Wii remote to be scratched! Don't see much point of having it in there really. The pointer won't work as it is being blocked by the shell and I doubt we will need to press any of the Wii remote's button. Maybe it's there to register movement when we shake the guitar or swing it to the left or right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2007 I think it's so the guitar can be wireless. It can use the power from the Wiimote, same as the classic controller, but without the need for a wire. Possibly use the motion sensors for when you have to tilt upwards to go into power mode or whatever its called. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2007 Yeah, thats why the Wii version is supposedly going to be cheaper - no need for the motion sensors or wireless stuff, because the wiimote just clicks in and does all that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a waste !! The motion sensing capabilities could have taken videogame fret-wanking to a whole new level... Imagine playing Heatseeker by AC/DC and getting bonus points for mimicking Angus Youngs trademark stage stomp ! Unlock bonus levels by pulling off the perfect Status Quo rocking movement ! Invalidate your home insurance by smashing the controller over the furniture to The Who ! Missed opportunity is what I say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 15, 2007 I just looked at the Rock Band lineup compared to the Guitar Hero lineup: The Who "Won't Get Fooled Again"Mountain "Mississippi Queen" David Bowie "Suffragette City" Black Sabbath "Paranoid" Blue Oyster Cult "Don't Fear the Reaper" The Ramones "Rockaway Beach" Rush "Tom Sawyer" Bon Jovi "Wanted Dead or Alive" Nirvana "In Bloom" Stone Temple Pilots "Vasoline" Weezer "Say It Ain't So" Foo Fighters "Learn to Fly" Metallica "Enter Sandman" The Hives "Main Offender" The Strokes "Reptilia" Queens of the Stone Age "Go With the Flow" Plus more Metallica songs later The GH3 lineup SUCKS compared to that. Who? Sabbath? Blue Oyster Cult? Bon Jovi? Nirvana? Metallica? Foo Fighters? There's barely anything in the current GH3 lineup fit to lick the boots of some of those songs. And I guess they've been signed as 'exclusive' to Rock Band now. No Metallica songs at all? Crap I'm a sad panda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
