[Y2Kev]

Oh. Ok. Shocked!

 

[Evlar]

Good news for everyone who owns a console.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Smart move.

 

[rollingstart]

I do wonder if people will pass on GH3 for Rock Band, it will be interesting to see what sells more

 

[jet1911]

I'm not surprised but it's still an awesome news.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Wii!

Hmm wii and ps3 tilt the axe to activate the select button thing? (never played this game)

 

[Community Forum]

Things will be interesting with this and Rock Band.

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

I hope the 360 guitar works with the PS3. I don't see a good reason why not. Although Bluetooth wireless would be nice................................when it's 100% reliable on PS3.

 

[soco]

let there be much rejoicing and merriment!

 

[VOOK]

At least the Wii one will be wireless or hopefully it can use one of the other ones, having a seperate controller for each console might blow

 

[Zombie James]

It'd be sweet if they could incorporate the iToy and Vision cameras and do a YouTube sort of thing, that'd kick major ass.

 

[schuelma]

Beat me to it..was going to post it but it seemed too good to be true. :lol :lol

 

[SouthernDragon]

Wii!

Awesome! I've heard so much about this game, now I get a chance to play it!

 

[Emowii]

But this game won't be developed by Harmonix. I hope it doesn't get screwed up. :/

 

[Mrbob]

I'll be sticking with Xbox 360 version since I have Guitar Hero 2. Hopefully they sell the game only.

Might as well call this Guitar Hero 2007 if it is going to be released on a yearly basis.

Me too, Emowii, mii too.

 

[schuelma]

Probably "meh" news for 360 and PS3 fans, but awesome news for Wii owners such as myself.

 

[Ril]

I don't have the link, but Cassamassina just said on his blog that Guitar Hero TWO is also in the works for Wii. Hopefully that'll come out sometime this summer. Rock on!

 

[B-Ri]

DLC for 360 and PS3 version? Sorry wii, i have to make the decision between those two.

I'm pretty sure the wii can have DLC as well.




Also this is a bit overkill. Number three this holiday, number four next, and then Activision is once again on the slippery slope of fast-declining sales. I wish franchises didn't get milked THIS badly.

 

[purg3]

Expected, but still looking forward to it. Hmm, this or Rock Band; which one will get my monies?

 

[Zoe]

They better make an adapter for the wireless PS2 controller now :|

 

[Evlar]

I wonder how they're going to implement this. Will it be the first stand-alone peripheral for the Wii, or will the Remote attach to it somehow? It makes a lot more sense cost-wise to just use the Bluetooth functions of the Remote.

 

[Tornado Condor]

2 games too late

 

[Zombie James]

GH2 in the summer and GH3 in the fall? What's the point? They'd be better off just focusing on GH3 instead of a port.

 

[sc0la]

If the controller does not slot into the guitar on the neck between the keys and the body then its fission mailed Activision

 

[jet1911]

Expected, but still looking forward to it. Hmm, this or Rock Band; which one will get my monies?

It'll depends on the tracklist for me.

 

[Gigglepoo]

You have to love Neversoft.

Now they have two franchises which receive yearly updates. Honestly, I thought the Guitar Hero franchise would become seasonal. There's still time!

 

[schuelma]

Yeah..I read Matt's quote and it seemed to me he was just going off of what the execs had leaked about GH coming to Wii- wouldn't surprise me at all if its GH 3 and not GH 2.

 

[Ril]

I'm hoping for a rectangular indentation on the back of the guitar that you can slide the Wiimote sideways into. Wireless FTW.

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

Since I have a Wii, I might look into this...as long as they don't do some dumb shit with waggle.

 

[Tiduz]

Dillema.
Just bought GH2 on 360, but its not my 360.... its my brothers. i have Gh1 on ps2.... now i want GH3 on ps3 :lol then ill have 3 GH controllers..... this is getting a bit crazy aint it. (i want gh3 on ps3 because of hdtv, gh1 on ps2 looks like a pos on my hdtv).

 

[B-Ri]

I'm pretty sure the wii can have DLC as well.

i really doubt it. Limitations with the Wii and system memory, 512 mb flash wont cut it, not everyones got 1 gig sticks, and no usb hdd (yet although rumored)

Do you have 12 dollars, cause if you do you could get one of those 1 gig sticks!

Damn well they better get that wii harddrive out fast.

by then nyko will have the usb converters for ps2->ps3, so im sure we could use those.

 

[Cory_t_]

I'll probably get both this AND Rock Band. I'm anxious to see how the drums will be handled in rock band. They have to be pretty big, and it'll be totally ****ed if there are only two.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

GH2 in the summer and GH3 in the fall? What's the point? They'd be better off just focusing on GH3 instead of a port.

Each game will have about 50 unique songs, that's the point. The different versions of Guitar Hero are like the different versions of DDR, it's actually worth it to pick up more than one if you've burned out all the songs on one edition. Since they sell the disk standalone as well, you can buy whatever version you prefer first and then buy the other(s) when they drop in price.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Any chance they will just let you download the new tracks using Guitar Hero 2 X360? Or do they really expect people to shell out $60 every year?

 

[PkunkFury]

Since I have a Wii, I might look into this...as long as they don't do some dumb shit with waggle.

They might make you waggle the Guitar to activate Star Power, that would really suck


And they need some form of solution for all of the incompatible Guitars everyone will end up with. Is it possible they could make the PS3 and Wii guitars talk to both systems, since they are both bluetooth? And has a good solution come out for playing with the PS2 guitars on the PS3 yet? I'm thinking I should sell my PS2 Guitars while I can...

That's the whole idea. Red Octane wants to sell you the same expensive accessory multiple times.

The Band:
Jim: Guitar
James: Bass
Steve: Vocals
Matt: ...bongos?

Spoiler

Rock Band Wii with DK Bongo Support! Make it happen!

It's Activision, so expect the worst.

 

[Random 42]

Maybe if Rock Band impliments a guitar gameplay as deep as GH outside the other 3 types, and likewise for the other types. But implimenting all may result in less polish on each?

 

[Tiduz]

Good point, ill probably get the convertor, unless the new ps3 guitar has some OMFG feature on it (effect pedals), only time will tell.

i think it's safe to assume this will never happen.

I have five guitar controllers, two wired for the PS2, two wireless for the PS2 (btw, the PS2 isn't even mine, it's my brothers) and one wired for the 360. When I get my 360 back from being repaired, I'll probably spring for another 360 controller.

This game has owned my soul...
