Posted June 23, 2007 I want GH2, but ill wait for rock band so i can get the drum version, hell yeyah! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2007 If Rock Band or GH3 has some amazing tracks i might get one of them, but i don´t really like the idea of buying another guitar a couple months later (GH3 has a new guitar ffs) just to get a new one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2007 I kinda agree with Bardy here. Guitar Hero is like every other rythm game, but the "romance" (for want of a better word) surrounding the guitar gives it extra sales. Most people playing know it's nothing like a real guitar. I'm terrible with a real guitar, yet can outplay my cousin who plays at a near proffessional level. But that doesn't make it a bad game. Being good at Dance Dance Revolution doesn't make you a good dancer. Being good at Donkey Konga doesn't make you good at drumming. etcetc... But I'm wondering, has anything been said about the Xplorer guitar being useable for Rock Band? I have no doubt RB will be better than GH3, but I ain't spending another £70 for another guitar for essentially a new song set, especially if I can't multiplayer with it. I'd rather just buy the game and use the Xplorer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2007 Rock Band guitar has 10 buttons and the Xplorer has 5 so i think we can pretty much rule out the possibility of using the Xplorer with RB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2007 Harmonix have said the GH2 guitar will work with Rock band. The other 5 buttons are used during whatever roack bands star power equivilant will be. Instead of the main 5 buttons. But as they're the same colours you would assume the system will ralise you have the Explorer and adjust itself accordingly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2007 They said it would work with Rock Band however you wouldn't be able to do everything in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2007 Well I got a promo copy of Dirt for £20 and I am enjoying it but I still think some of the cars are way too floaty. sometimes it feels like you're driving a fish across a lake of ice, the car just swings left and right as if it's trying to throw you out of it. And the braking time of 60-0 in one second is very silly! It is good they left out actual multi-player races over xbox live as it would be more like bumper cars. I think Rallisport 2 on xbox is better than this game you know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2007 I tried the DiRT demo after seeing it being praised highly by you lot Its actually quite difficult, and I do like my racing games, but I dont like this *sigh* Wheres burnout to sort the men from the boys? :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2007 Ohh pretty. Guitar for Rock Band. What is that game, someone elses attempt at a Guitar Hero or the next GH? Harmonix (the developers who made Guitar Hero) are now doing Rock Band whilst Activision bought the Guitar Hero name from Red Octane and are now making Guitar Hero 3 (and calling Rock Band a GH ripoff ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 23, 2007 Guitar Hero 3 looks like shit. They're fucked around with the timing, the multiplayer, the combo meter. Everything and now it looks daft. Then theres Rock Band, where basically, they're milking us dry for accessories and probably insane lag on the online play. Either way, we're fucked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2007 At least GH2 had some decent music, GH3 is full of utter crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 23, 2007 I have just finished playing the Overlord demo and im pretty impressed with it. Its like an evil version of Pikmin, with a visual style that mixes Oblivion and Kameo. Shame I have many games to play and The Darkness on the way or I would have picked this up. Also, I downloaded the Transformers The Game intro from marketplace (US one havent checked if its on the Euro one) and I really cant wait for that game, or the movie!
