No6 said:Aside from the music mixer (which I consider broken due to the vocals) and instruments (I'll probably buy a GHWT guitar but would prefer to get the cymbal expansion for RB if it translates into a near-identical GHWT setup), what exactly is unique about GHWT? The tracklist, if true, makes it seem like the "band" game will be just a standard progression like in GH3/RB, rather than the BWT mode. The character creator probably won't be significantly different between the two, although I would expect RB2 to be more feature loaded simply due to expanding on RB1.
Oh wait, I forgot boss battles, which by the sounds of it have been changed in GHWT to basically like playing online with people.
There's lots of little things. There are very clear differences in the way songs are charted in GH compared to Rock Band. The timing windows, the way star power works, the kind of songs you get given to play. The style in which you get rankings. When I play Guitar Hero III it feels very different to Rock Band. It's my hope that GH:WT will feel different to Rock Band 2. I'm a fan of the genre rather than just a game, and I like to see unique features. The perfect example is online multiplayer: I want 8 player online in GH:WT. But I want the Daily Challenges in Rock Band. Little things like this add up. And especially with the new guitar I think playing in GH:WT is going to feel different to playing guitar in RB.
