Obviously it's still really early, but I'm not digging the look of the in-game notes and fret board. Using FP for a music game is very interesting, though, and the controller looks pretty different and exciting to try out. But that artists list, sheesh

Yeah, I kind of hate the live action thing. Looks really weird.

Not having backwards compatibility is pretty fucking risky!
It's about to Get Real(TM)

Such a great idea. I remember all the popular fun songs were the ones about chords instead of note progression ಠ_ಠ

Good thing it's coming out on iOS

The big and glaring problem that could arise from it basically being FMV is how much the pre-song and during song stuff repeats. If it keeps doing the same skits or movements for every song what is the point?
I'm surprised at some of the negativity over "first-person" Guitar Hero. I think the idea is pretty awesome and hope that the live stuff is well implemented. It plays to one of the feelings a lot of people want out of a game like this. You get the feeling your rocking out in a show in front of thousands of fans. Whether or not it'll work in practice is another thing all together, but this looks promising. The music video stuff sounds good too.
I'm fine with it going in this direction, though I'm more worried about band customization when it comes to a lot of live action performances instead of just animated characters.

Can we take dick pics as pete wentz backstage for the groupies?
Verge article states they filmed each show two times. So you have a good and a bad version. There will not be any variation.

What's going to suck more: my lack of skill or seeing the same lame FMV crowds over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over?

Hmm...
Will be sticking with Rock Band if I partake in this revival at all.

This is why they shouldn't have done fmv... It'll be repetitive and come off as amateurish and just down right cheesy.

When can we get Plumbers Don't Wear Ties DLC?

It'll be at a goodwill near you in about 7 months after release.
Yeah wait, I'm confused. It's a video, so the audience/musicians can't react to how well/poorly you're playing, right? Why did it seem like they started acting differently when he started playing poorly? Does it have 2 video tracks it skips between?

Huh. So the new note implementation sounds pretty cool, but the live action stuff sounds terrible to me. Kind of reminds me of those Sega CD FMV games. I'm also curious how many variations there could be. They would need one for each song right? Or else stuff isn't going to sync that well. They'd also need different versions for female sung songs. It just seems like that's a lot of work to put in to every song. I don't know.

Sounds like they just made this so next year they can put out another one with backwards compatibility and song importing and say "Hey, we're listening to you guys!"

Is it confirmed to be an FMV background, or is that simply being used for illustrative purposes in the trailer, a la CG renders?
Cross column notes are a thing, judging by the "what note is being held" ui
Pretty good guessing on my part :lol

And the UI would be similar to this
Don't forget the "Trashing your hotel room" and "Playing a show drunk/high" mini games.
It's in the game.
It has multiple video tracks, in a video I watched there is a one/two seconds transition and it could happen very often if you don't play well...

Dear Freestyle Games,
Who brings a cardboard sign that says "YOU SUCK" on it to a concert they bought a ticket for to see a band they like?

Why are people surprised about no BC when the controller layout is fundamentally different. Previous games in the series had a linear 5 button layout,this one is 6 buttons throughout 2 rows. Why risk people having a bad experience jerry rigging in old controllers that would diminish, if not completely break, the game they're trying to make?

And the cartoony models werent that already?
So many people have decided they hate this game already. At least its trying something new instead of rehashing the same shit.
New note charts andayout look cool. More chord based.

Against it: Artist list and FMV
For it: I'm more likely to play Guitar Hero more than twice a year (like I do with Rock Band)
New controller looks interesting
For all the love of Rock Band, and it is a cool franchise, it is a really good party game. For those 363 days a year when there's not a party at my place where people want to play all the instruments, it lays collecting dust as the individual parts weren't that interesting to play on your own.

This also throws the whole "building a band" with custom outfits, instruments and what not over board, no? We always kinda enjoyed that.

This is actually the part I like the least, though I will at least give Activision/FreeStyle kudos for trying a wildly different presentation style. The FMV part is fine, but my god have we really not updated the "rock concert trope" bible in two decades or has rock music really remained absolutely still this whole time? Bunch of walking rock dude stereotypes hanging backstage with groupies and getting read for the BIG SHOW. Feels totally ridiculous and cringe-inducing.
I probably shouldn't have expected any different, though, based on the partial artist list released so far.
