Guest Stefkov Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Go over to Kotaku and there's a bit of stuff on Rock Band. 3 or 4 multiplayer looks amazing. It won't come with it's own guitar would it? I still want to get GHII
gmac Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 It does have it's own guitar, however they have said you can use the GHII guitar with it

Fresh Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Scared then I'll play you tomorrow sometime if that's ok? 3-0. I hope your not going to prove to be another walkover.
AshMat Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 I cannae wait! I'll probably end up using my own drum sticks though, unless the ones shipped are the same size as the ones i like playing with. Also, the neck frest on the guitar sounds quite clever, the finger-tappin thing. And hitting the mic on your hand t do the tambourine, they've really gone into depth with this.
Charlie Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 I hope they release 3 different versions of it and all the equipment seperately too. The Drum version Guitar version Microphone version I would get the drum version as I already have the GH2 guitar. Hopefully the microphone won't be too much by itself or you can just use a normal USB one (or the XBL one?)
AshMat Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 I think they already said they're releasing them separately, i hope anyway. I'm getting the drum version because i'm a drummer, i reckon, from the looks of it, it'll really help. I reckon it's the on that will actually help you learn that isntrument (that is if you've not palyed it befre).
Gizmo Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 I'm worried about the space for a drum kit. I Play my games sitting on my bed, looking at a TV not 1 metre from me, with no floor space between. Will probably just get the guitar version.
AshMat Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Game's up now. Erm.. yeah, join. GEARS OF WAAAAAAAAAAR
Tellyn Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 I've opted for Picross and Puzzle League with Gentleben tonight.
arnold Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3160812 Niiiicee...Hope it's world wide and not US only *Gets ready to call at somepoint*
AshMat Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Yeah but they can afford it, and yeah, it better be worldwide.
Hero-of-Time Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 That is great news Arnold, thanks for the heads up. It has also been confirmed that this is GLOBAL, so the likes of me and Caboose/Chuck/Rob who just had to pay to get ours fixed will get a refund within the next 12 weeks.
Guest Stefkov Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Some great news. I've not had any problems with mine, apart from a few days ago, some hardware failure, but it was only one quarter of the ring. Works fine now though. Good to hear that I have another year and a bit on my warranty now.
Fresh Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 I had 3/4 of the ring once... 360 was working fine 2 minutes later.
Guest Stefkov Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 I have 790 points (fucking swine off 800) and I want a new arcade game....Geometry wars or something else...? Geometry wars it is then
arnold Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 That is great news Arnold, thanks for the heads up. It has also been confirmed that this is GLOBAL, so the likes of me and Caboose/Chuck/Rob who just had to pay to get ours fixed will get a refund within the next 12 weeks. I'm glad as well, I've had mine inactive for about a month now, not been able to pay for the repair what with no job, but I have jsut started work this week so I could after the month but to know i've got an extended Warranty to play with, I'm gonna have to phone them up at the weekend and get things sroted. One thing i ahve jsut thought about though, now they announce ity...it's gonan take a loooong time to get it back, I'm guessing everyone will take advantage of this so they'll have a lot of back logged 360's to go through. Still awsome news though and if you've not got Gwars already get it, bloody amazing game
Guest Stefkov Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 I just want to say that the Pacifist achievement was the most fun I've had in a while. Only took me a few attempts.
