Update:


Some owners of previous Guitar Hero games will be disappointed to hear that the songs and peripherals they already own do not work with Guitar Hero Live.

Not that I expected that from Activision, but yeah, that's a huge strike against it.

 

[Lashley]

No backwards compatibility, no thanks.

I'll stick with Rockband 4.

 

[StanleyStutters]

Guitar looks nice, not sure about it literally being live action. Seems a little odd to me.

 

[vareon]

Hey, if this has 360 degree video + morpheus/oculus support it would be cool.

 

[Impeccable]

No backwards compatability?

Harmonix continues to prove they are gods.

 

[CloudWolf]

The lineup so far

The Black Keys
The Blitz Kids
Ed Sheeran
Fall Out Boy
Gary Clark, Jr.
Green Day
The Killers
The Lumineers
My Chemical Romance
Pierce the Veil
The Rolling Stones
Skrillex
The War on Drugs

Oh boy...

At least The War on Drugs, Gary Clark, Jr. and The Black Keys are good. And I'm not entirely sure what Skrillex is doing in a 'guitar only' game.

Can anyone really be surprised by this? Activision dropped GH4/5 like a hot potato while Harmonix supported RB3 for years.

 

[Matush]

Finally FMV games are back!

It looks ok I guess.

 

[FHIZ]

The FMV looks really lame and cheesy. Reminds me of a Kidz Bob commercial, only with adults.

 

[kulapik]

I like the GHTV concept but I'm a bit confused by it. Does that mean that you can't choose the song you're playing? That way there would be a much broader selection of songs, but I don't know...

 

[Weetrick]

Game looks weird but I like the new fretboard layout.

 

[Xater]

This looks bad.

Who thought having a note highway in front of FMV was a good idea? This will get old so fast. The presentation also just looks cheap as hell.

Well, ok then.

 

[Shift Breaker]

The Black Keys
The Blitz Kids
Ed Sheeran
Fall Out Boy
Gary Clark, Jr.
Green Day
The Killers
The Lumineers
My Chemical Romance
Pierce the Veil
The Rolling Stones
Skrillex
The War on Drugs

Skrillex? Really?

More Rolling Stones is always good though, and I can't complain too much about some of the others but I already get the feeling that the soundtrack is going to be as schizophrenic as Warriors of Rock's was.

 

[MattyG]

Skrillex? Really?

Jesus why?

 

[Scrawnton]

Skrillex? Really?

I'm out.

 

[Tuffty]

Sounds interesting. Who's in the lineup?

Ed Sheeran
Fall Out Boy
My Chemical Romance
Skrillex

Well so much for that.

 

[Xater]

Oh god that lineup of bands. So bad. Please save us Harmonix.

 

[schlongdog]

I'm confused, how does the new layout not make it extremely easy??

 

[OnionPowder]

SEGA CD Redeemed

 

[mintyice]

Did they really add a bloody screen effect to Guitar Hero? Do you have to take cover to recover star power?

 

[quesalupa]

Looks pretty cool but I'll be sticking with Rock Band.

Almost sounds like its going to be first person.

Skrillex?

The PS2 versions of Rock Band were almost entirely FMV

 

[JonathanEx]

It's ambitious, it's different. Video's risky and limiting in many ways, but bold in others. I genuinely can't guess what I'll make of the final game.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I'm a sucker for FMV so I'm pretty intrigued.

 

[Mask]

This just reeks of "Us too!". It was Activision that caused the Music game crash last time with fifty different GH games each year, so not confident they'll actually make something decent.

That three button thing is probably gonna throw a lot of people too. How is that better than the Pro guitar thing RB was doing?

 

[Keyser Soze]

 

[robot]

The whole FMV thing looks pretty interesting. Sounds like you can also play with music videos in the BG according to the PR.

 

[OnionPowder]

Are there even hammer-ons/pull-offs? Seems like the bands so far they're going for a mostly chord heavy setlist. Plus the guitar design itself lends it self to complexity through chords.

Thank god for Rock Band

Nope.

 

[Deleted member 57681]

Fucking ew.

 

[_Ryo_]

Eh. I'm not feeling this at all.

 

[Xater]

So outside of the campaign you get just music videos in the background. That sounds bad.

 

[Lady Siara]

That gameplay reveal reminds me of when DDR used to put music videos in.

Doesn't look like it's for me so far.

 

[Forsythia]

They're not really going for FMV with the crowds, right? And if they do, I sure hope some hot chicks take off their tops.

Spoiler

Of course this won't happen.

The setlist sucks so far.

 

[Majine]

Haha everyones faces when you're doing badly is great.

 

[kirby_fox]

GHTV is an interesting concept, really depends on how much content is created, how much stays and how much is free. If it's a weekly thing where new music rotates in and out, but you have the option of buying your fave song on there- it'd be neat.

Not interested though. GH used to be a good college party game to break out, but having been out of college since the last games there's not much a reason to jump back in. Same with RB.

 

[FyreWulff]

Are there even hammer-ons/pull-offs? Seems like the bands so far they're going for a mostly chord heavy setlist. Plus the guitar design itself lends it self to complexity through chords.

Well they sort of put themselves in a corner by prioritizing chord shapes over note progression.

I have to give them props for supporting Wii U with this release. Maybe it'll get Harmonix to release RB4 Wii U.

 

[Yurikerr]

Hahahahahah, Skrillex?!?!

Seriously?!?!!

This must be a joke

 

[Moosehole]

Guitar Hero for Sega CD?

 

[Blablurn]

Sounds alright to me.

Its not like they will go all risky for a genre that is dead.

 

[LiamR]

"Why would they come to our concert just to boo us?"

 

[blame space]

man i wanted to play as the stones when the hell's angels started stabbing people.

 

[MattyG]

I hope they have cinematic pre-show anxiety clips before every song.

 

[killercow]

Well I guess Guitar Hero Live is also coming to iOS/Android:
