New Guitar Hero 3 songs announced

If rock band guitars are compatible with Guitar Hero, I'm definitely buying GH3 alone, and buy two rock band guitars. They are much better IMO.
 
Cult of Personality, Evenflow, Welcome to the Jungle, Paint it Black, and Rock You Like a Hurricane could make me buy the game. The battle mode and boss battle nonsense is optional, right?
 
I hope the Dragonforce song will be in it's own secret section, something like "DRAGONFORCE, LOL".
Not because it's hard, because I ****ing hate Dragonforce.

Best GH tracklist ever.
 
I hope some of the haters can look at this now and, like, temper themselves a little. If the ScoreHero people are down with GH3 I'm sure I'll have no complaints.

I'm not really sure why so many people seem to want there to be one good game and one sucky game -- I'm pretty excited that it sounds like Guitar Hero 3 and Rock Band are both going to be awesome. :D

It is in bonus tracks so no worries about having to play it (for people who don't want to) game looks good so far.
 
Some of the quotes from the Scorehero players on the first page of that thread are insane.

There were good improvements to the interface from GH2 (something I was going to bring up regardless). For instance, the career screen was tabbed, so you don't have to scroll through a billion songs to get to DLC--just hit a button to switch tabs.

This is clearly a game made by GH fans for die-hard GH fans, but will retain much appeal to the casual player.

The new controller was hands down the best controller I have ever used. Any problems you may have had with the Xplorer are taken care of, and even after only playing for about 5 hours, I find myself wanting to switch back to the new controller as I play on my SG. The feel of the buttons and strum bar is wonderful, the whammy activates properly, and we have gotten our beloved select button back.

The new hammer on system, while it is a change, I loved it. As a guitar player, it gave the charts a much more realistic feel. Battle mode turned out to be a lot of fun, and will be great for partying situations.

Everyone has already talked about the godly wireless controller of godly. However they forgot to mention that it feels about 2x as heavy as the SG, which is a wonderful thing.

Everyone else has touched on the mechanics of the game, so I will focus mainly on the graphics and such.

The characters are amazing this time around. Not only do their animations look more realistic, but they are much more customizable this time around. I wont go into detail exactly just yet, but each character on average has 2-3 outfit styles with each style having 3-4 colour sets that affected the entire look of the character. So yes, there really is a Pandora style option in the characters

The in-game guitars are absolutely incredible. There are a LOT more non-standard guitars this time around. All are incredibly detailed and all awesome. For each character setup I was using I was finding a special guitar that looked just right for that specific outfit.

Each venue was amazingly well done. Lots of attention to details this time around. The effects and stage animations kept stealing my attention from the note charts, enough to fail a couple of easier charts XD

Baiscally this was an incredibly amazing experience. I went in somewhat skeptical because neversoft was an unknown entity (to me) and i havent been happy with some of the recent choices for the franchise and i had nagging worries that the franchise might be about to go downhill. And i left with all those doubts blown out of water and replaced with incredible confidence in Neversoft both from seeing the quality of theiractual product and how carefully and well they lsitened to use, and just from hanging out and talking to them personally.

Opeth on GHIII ftw. Actually, save it for Rock Band :D Martin Lopez on drums and actual good basslines! Although they'd need a double bass pedal.

The number one GHII player in the world [on 360, at least] says he wants Opeth, too. Whoever compiles the tracklist: LISTEN! Opeth >>>>>> Dragonforce

White Cluster on expert....Broken fingers confirmed

Son of a bitch... Rock Band better get Hallowed Be Thy
Name.

"Woe to you of Earth and Sea..." ;)

Anything with Maiden in it is a guaranteed buy, even though Beast isn't one of my favorite tracks I'd still take it over Wrathchild.

What I wouldn't give to be able to play the (bass) solo from Powerslave, though. Or Hallowed by thy Name.

You know what would be killer, is playing the live version of Aces High with Churchill's intro. Oh God, yes.

Oh, and the Dragonforce song? I sense a lot of demand for replacement guitars about a week after the game comes out. :lol :lol

I wish we had an answer about the compatibility of the Rock Band guitar with the GH games. Although who am I kidding, I'll buy the full GH3 kit and worry about that crap a month later. :D

Maybe they can throw some Manowar in there to round it out.
 
Challenge-wise, Dragonforce is a nice fit for Guitar Hero. They play fast, but they're incredibly repetitive, so if Neversoft does the chart right all you have to do is memorize the same few patterns. Unfortunately, this doesn't sound very fun. At all. Seven minutes of the same shit over and over again. They could have done a lot better for power/speed metal choices.
 
I'll be buying Guitar Hero 3 without the guitar. The songs are awesome and I'm totally looking forward to them, but I don't need another guitar and I really just look at this as Guitar Hero 2007, since there's no real addition to the core gameplay. Online should be fun too.

And I don't mean more Dragonforce. Ugh.

While I disagree on the Dragonforce (they make me smile with their power metally goodness) I sure would like to see some Hate Eternal or Cannibal Corpse (Bloodthirst or Kill) tracks on this, man that would be brutal. One can only hope.
 
GAF Guitar Hero threads always have the worst suggestions for Guitar Hero. DragonForce is perfect for the game, and I don't see how anyone can think otherwise. If you just want to listen to some catchy tunes, turn on your stereo. Some of us like gameplay with our video games.

unknown, but given how third party controllers were treated for the Guitar Hero II release, I wouldn't bet on it.

If Activision knew what was good for them they would allow the Rockband guitars to work. There really can not be much money in making and selling guitar controllers. The guitars are the razers and downloadable songs are the blades

GAF Guitar Hero threads consist of people suggesting songs with long stretches without guitar because they like the song, people yelling "MORE METAL" when the only complaint the vast majority of people outside GAF have about Guitar Hero have is that there's too much metal, people complaining that they haven't heard of any of the songs when either a) the problem is their limited taste or b) they have heard them and don't remember, people suggesting 20+ minute long songs for no apparant reason, and people trying to request multiple songs by the same artist be in the game.

I think Neversoft / Harmonix / any other company should probably just tell the fans to stuff it, hire qualified employees with a good and diverse background in music, make the selections themselves, and present the finished product to the public.

I've played the Frets of Fire version of Through the Fire and Flames, and it's a very fun song, and not repetitive.

that's the only part that I have issue with and that's because there are supposed to be two Velvet Revolver songs in GH3.
On May 13th, 2007, Duff McKagen announced that possibly 2 songs from Libertad ("She Builds Quick Machines" and either "Let It Roll" or "Get Out The Door") will be playable on the upcoming videogame Guitar Hero III.

everything else you said: yeah, pretty much. But I'd like to add that I don't like seeing "master tracks" in the game as much as most people. I think somone else said it best: it's supposed to be a game about being in a rock cover band so covers aren't that bad of a thing to have.
Metal Injection revealed that Slash will be a playable character in the game. Slash did motion capture with RedOctane to record his movements for the game, and by beating him in a one-on-one competition (playing an original composition of his[18] ), he will be unlocked as a playable character. Beating him in this challenge will result in the player and Slash playing the master track of "Welcome to the Jungle" as an encore song.[19]

haven't seen this before. interesting...I guess this means no WttJ in Rock Band.

Considering Guitar Hero started because Red Octane wanted a game to sell guitars for, I disagree.

The only other game they had published had been In the Groove, for the sole purpose of selling more dance mats.

I think that's a stupid decision on the part of Neversoft. Companies have <x> amount of budget to license songs (and similarly, only so much space on the disc and on the song roster), and putting two songs on by the same band lowers the spectrum of music you're experiencing.

They might justify it by arguing that the Slash/VR crosspromotion enabled them to waive licensing fees... to that, I'd say give Slash and VR the boot and let others in.

Both songs are from the new album, so I'm guessing the record companies probably PAID to get those songs in there, rather then the other way around.

As GH/Rockband becomes more popular, I imagine this type of arrangement will become the norm more often than not. If not PAID to get in there, then definitely waiving or drastically reducing licensing fees for the exposure.

Two songs from the same artist breaks the Guitar Hero pattern. It will not happen. If slash is correct and they do have two songs it would either be 1 song on disc and 1 DL or both DL. Not both on disc.

And you're basing this on... absolutely nothing? Because IGN, Gamespot, etc all say 2 Velvet Revolver songs.

Different developers, remember?

If by nothing you mean logic then yes nothing.

I will paypal you $100 if you can find 1 official activision or redoctane announcement that states velvelt revolver is in the main setlist or the bonus setlist of GH3. Any other source is just rumor. Slash stated he is in the game with 2 songs nothing more. I listed logical theories. You ignored them.

Different developers is meaningless. Neversoft has stated over and over they aim to keep it is close to the previous games as possible. Having two songs from one band in main/bonus setlist is not logical.

Your logic is "cause they didn't do it before". I'm basing it on what's been reported.

And although no GH game had two bands the same, they have had two songs with the same lead singer in GH1 (Ironman and Bark At The Moon).

It might not be logical, but considering the announced song is the crappy new one, I'm using my logic to say that the record company pushed for it. And if they did that, I wouldn't put it passed them to push for two.

C'mon, Ironman and Bark at the Moon is quite a stretch for being the same artist. I'd be shocked if GH3 comes out and there are 2 songs by VR in the main setlist. DLC or 1 song in the bonuses makes more sense than 2 songs in campaign mode. It could happen, but highly unlikely going by previous trends.
