The entire idea of having a guitar game revolve around the notion that your opponent has to fail, rather than you having to actually play well, is retarded. The auto-lose sequence at the end of the songs is one of the worst design decisions I have ever seen in my 27 years of video gaming.TheGreatDave said:I'd probably tone the items down, and just make it so the only items are things like Amp Overload, or removing the sound from the game. Keep it somewhat logical; like the guy pulled your amp chord or something. Then have the game have you play a bunch of solos one after another, and keep the way you die the same. And make the boss not invincible without attack.
Ignoring your... let's just say flawed opinion, they also made the best Tony Hawk game and the best Spiderman game. And I'm having a hard time thinking of a single Neversoft "addition" to the game that wasn't in line with their Tony Hawk behavior: boss battles, ridiculous money requirements, the awful character designs/downgrades, the tawdry stage designs, etc. Everything they've added to TH since 4 has ultimately served as a downgrade, and I just see them repeating the trend with GH.Well, they made the best Guitar Hero game, so I'll give them some credit

flipping_heck said:Banjo 3 doesn't sound appealing to me, im fine with vehicles sections in the game but having to collect 1600 pieces to have everythign accessible is quite a joke imo. And the platforming sections, i hope to god it stays very true to original's roots, but the inclusion of this collect-a-thon vehicle thing kind of ruins it. Well let's see
Yeah those descriptions of platforming with a vehicle sure do sound like not platforming.Nicktals said:Sales - 1.
Based on every description it sounds like this is now a vehicle/physics puzzle game. I want a platformer.

and Banjo gummi ship! yay!

Day 1
TheGreatDave said:EA don't own the IP or anything though. I think they're distributors, not "publishers". MTV Games could, I think, just go over to Ubisoft and ask them if they wanted to distribute the game for them.
EA clearly manufacture the instruments though, which is presumably one of the things that made them an attractive partner. And the instruments so dodgy.
- The next Nintendo and MS systems would arrive in 2010. Sony's would arrive in 2012
This. I have been wondering for a few years now why the hell i hated Warrior within so much while i loved SOT.squicken said:ugh. the 1 v1 combat in PoP does not sound good. what was wrong with combat in SoT? why did they have to go and add shitty combos to the next 2 games? PoP doesn't need to be GoW or NG or DMC. let it be a fun platformer/puzzle game with some light combat.

So you really don't see anything derivative about GHIV adding drums and vocals?TheGreatDave said:You make it sound like Harmonix were the first people to use plastic instruments.
Sharp said:So you really don't see anything derivative about GHIV adding drums and vocals?
Really?
They'd already done base and guitar, which made sense because they both used the same instrument. But you're kidding yourself if you think GHIV would have done this it weren't for Rock Band. Otherwise a company like Konami, which had actually made rhythm games around all kinds of different instruments, would have done it a long time ago.TheGreatDave said:Oh sure, but I also think it's a logical step that somebody other than Harmonix would have headed in. To make it sound like they're stealing some groundbreaking idea is kinda doing Harmonix a big service.

360 purchase imminent.SolidSnakex said:Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (360)
- RARE says they didn't want to make a hi res version of the old Banjo platformer.
- You create vehicles with parts you find around the levels.
- GI says their first vehicles was a 4 wheeled kart with a spring attached to the bottom that allowed them to jump things. They later found a helicopter blade that allowed their kart to fly. Later they added balloons to the vehicle and put the blade on the back and created a hovercraft.
- RARE showed them a vehicle that was a monster truck that was able to detach its chasis to become a mini bike. When the bike ramped off a cliff it revealed collapsible glider wings and started flying.
- There will be 1,600 parts including weapons that you'll be able to attach to the vehicles.
- The town is called Showdown Town.
- GI says that despite the large focus on vehicles it still features platform elements from the previous games like traditional platforming, tight rope walking and jiggy piece collecting.
- Showdown Town is 16 times larger than anything RARE has created before.
- Every level has a different intro. Nutty Acres begins with a credits spoof of 80's soap opera's like Dallas.
- Note collecting is back and will act has currency that'll allow you to bu vehicle blueprints.
- RARE says there are 15 different challenges spread across 6 different levels. There will also be side missions.
Viva Pinata 2: Trouble in Paradise
- Improved interactivity between the pinata's and the environments.
- Pinata's will mimic each others action and follow the leader around the garden.
- They'll be adding toys for the pinatas to play with like musical instruments, spaced themed toys, and trains that the pinata's will ride around the garden.
- 30 new pinatas.
- 2 new sub areas called Pinarctic and Dessert that'll allow you to travel to new locations and lay traps for the pinatas.
- A photo mode will allow you to upload pictures to the website.
- A drop in and drop out co op mode.
- Improved UI.
I can't fathom how they expect to pull this off without people posting copyrighted content. There will be about 500 Stairway to Heavens posted Day 1.- Create a song. Although these exclude vocals due to storage and possible copyright issues.
- You'll be able to name your song as well as creating album art. After you've done all that you can upload it to GH Tunes where anyone can download it.

Maybe that will encourage Led Zeppelin to step up their game and deliver the GH game everyone really wants.Rhindle said:I can't fathom how they expect to pull this off without people posting copyrighted content. There will be about 500 Stairway to Heavens posted Day 1.
The bolded is precisely why they've taken the combat in a different direction to the SoT games - direct quote from the developers (from the EDGE preview in the latest issue:ugh. the 1 v1 combat in PoP does not sound good. what was wrong with combat in SoT? why did they have to go and add shitty combos to the next 2 games? PoP doesn't need to be GoW or NG or DMC. let it be a fun platformer/puzzle game with some light combat.
"Early on we were faced with a decision about what to do with combat. POP eventually moved towards a pretty cool system, then God Of War came along and, basically, just kicked our ass. We could go head to head with God Of War or Ninja Gaiden, or strike out on our own path."
gketter said:No interest in GH4. Its Rockband + "create a song" except me and my friends won't create any songs, so there's no point. I'm done rebuying instruments, and there's something really "me too" about what Neversoft is doing. Its not entirely their fault, but i'll follow Harmonix, and i just respect more what they're up to.
