Dyson Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 When you get the golden border on the side of the track you're in a special overdrive section which counts for double - sort of like a unison bonus, except it's solo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddage Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 When you get the golden border on the side of the track you're in a special overdrive section which counts for double - sort of like a unison bonus, except it's solo Ah right, had noticed the golden border, but I though it was for all overdrive sections. Just attempted Free Bird and as expected got my arse kicked, don't think I'll ever be able to do that on guitar. Although I 5 starred it on expert bass with ease so at least I can say I've done it on expert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnieboy Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 God i hated those streakmania challenges, Here I Go Again gave me the most trouble for that for some reason, (i play hard difficulty). I completed the game today and i also noticed a lot of tweaks and changes to the gameplay. The overdrive meter glows differently or at least i think it does and that instant overdrive you get happens when the fret board around the white notes is a yellowy colour. No idea why they added that but more overdrive = win. Oh and i went for it and played Free Bird and it seemed to match the difficulty of guitar hero 2, perhaps a tiny bit easier and instead of the pause before the guitar part kicks in you have some notes. Still has the awesome factor though, love playing that song! Again though this is hard difficulty, but i imagine it to be truly challenging once again on expert. Edit: missed seeing the last 2 posts so if the post seems a bit odd, yeah oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramar Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Ah shit nuggets, apparently Viacom wants to sell Harmonix. God knows what that'll mean to the team, IP and future DLC content. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 Have been spluttering out my thoughts on this for hours through various means. It's not necessarily a bad thing, though it does mean that they'd lose their ties with MTV and therefore a big portion of the music industry, which is a shame. More thoughts to come.

Ramar Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I really don't know where I stand on it, it could work out for the better, because I do feel viacom and EA haven't really helped the launch of RB3. But on the flipside should Activision feel the need to acquire them it could go tits up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 Yeah, that's what I'm dreading the most. I'd hate for Activision to acquire Harmonix. I suppose we could potentially see Zenimax pick them up? They've been making a lot of purchases recently. I'd be happy if they went to EA, though.

Noodleman Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 They've announced that whatever happens they will still support the DLC and the Rock Band and Dance Central brands. So really it's all good, hopefully they sign with somebody who realises Europe exists in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzybee Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Not to sound dumb, but what is the rock band network?! It's not in the wii version now and just wondered what it was before making any purchasing decisions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Not to sound dumb, but what is the rock band network?! It's not in the wii version now and just wondered what it was before making any purchasing decisions! It's not actually anything that great, it's just users creating their own RB tracks or something to that effect, but it's limited like the XNA as in I think you have to pay for it... there are a good few RBN songs but honestly I've never bothered to download any. Anyway, Pretty Hate Pack 01 is gonna be availabel today! It contains - as you may have guessed - four tracks from Pretty Hate Machine by Nine Inch Nails it's their first album and it's still considered to be their best and the track selection is excellent... Terrible Lie Head Like a Hole Sanctified The Only Time Also being that the pack has '01' on the end it suggests that we may get more from that album which would be awesome, either way though I'm happy, more NIN hells yeah!

Dyson Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 I think you've got the wrong idea there about the Rock Band Network, SCG. Basically, it allows anyone to put music up there on the service for download to receive a 40 (or 60, can't remember) percent cut from the sales. The tracks are all masters, no midi stuff ala GH. It means that smaller bands that wouldn't have the marketing power to get their songs on Rock Band can get their stuff on there with no costs. Even those bands that don't have the skills to do so can get an authoring company to get their songs on there. All the songs are peer reviewed through XNA before they're allowed for sale so there won't be any charting errors or absolute crap getting through. It's great. I have 3 songs from the RBN - Midnight Ride from Left4Dead 2, Even Rats (because it was on GH1 - awesome track) and...something else I've forgotton . I'm eagerly awaiting its return to RB3 as there are gonna be some Super Meat Boy and VVVVVV game tracks up there. But yeah, it's been removed from the Wii due to lack of implementation and support on the console. Since it runs through XNA it's essentially the Xbox 360's baby.

Cookyman Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 ISince it runs through XNA it's essentially the Xbox 360's baby. It's the PS3's retarded inbred sibling too - we do have it too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyson Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Wow.. great price! They're still £70 everywhere else. I'm gutted as I finally saved the money for one of the fully stringer Squier guitars only to discover they're not in production anymore. I was trying to decide if I wanted one and decided to go for it only to discover this news. I AM NOT HAPPY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
