Guitar Hero 3

[The GIGGAS]

Re: Guitar Hero 3

I figured as much since, like the other guy said, they're not even on Itunes. It's all just wishful thinking. It's such an easy game to add more content for. Rockband is blowing them away.

I wouldn't say any game is an easy game to add content for. I mean, it's relatively simpler than other games, but those 4 guitar charts and 4 bass charts don't pop up out of nowhere... Plus using master tracks and getting them to be synched...

Absolutely right about how much work goes into making these songs BUT, when you have a rival company putting out new songs every week, Activision looks bad.

Oh, we're definitely in agreement there.

Plus Harmonix does have to do more work, with 4 instruments and 4 difficulty levels... they're effectively coming up with 16 charts per song, yet still putting out more songs every week.

Perhaps they had these finished already, maybe they're working on them right now? Doesn't matter, Activision is looking really bad. GH3 isn't as fun as Rock Band is, and the songs they share are done better by Harmonix.

I was thinking the same thing in that maybe Harmonix had some of these songs already finished and are just pumping them out.

Like you said, either way, Harmonix is looking really good. What does Activision do now? Come out with a Rock Band like game and look like copycats.

I don't think they're that upset though, the GH franchise still prints money (not close to the Wii and DS though) for Activision, and we're going to see a lot of milking of that franchise.

I also think EA will milk the Rock Band franchise too, these companies are making WAY too much money on these franchises to give up because they look bad.

Although now that GH has competition from Rock Band (very very good competition), GH's sales might decline somewhat. But how many people are going to get both games?

Now Activision has sent over a press release announcing that sometime this month there will be new songs for the game available via download, including a song pack featuring tracks from Warner/Reprise artists Linkin Park (No More Sorrow), Mastadon (Sleeping Giant) and The Used (Pretty Handsome Awkward). Individual songs from European bands like Extremoduro (So Payaso), Trust (Antisocial) and Die Fantastischen Vier (Ernten Was Wir Säen). A free song download by Steve Ouimette of the classic Christmas tune We Three Kings will also be released.

LOL! They should have kept this press release unreleased is all I'm going to say.

I like Mastadon.

Re: Guitar Hero 3

I like Mastadon.

Yeah, that Mastadon song is pretty good. I'm actually looking forward to We 3 Kings too.

Have to play co-op career.

Re: Guitar Hero 3

Just use the cheat codes to unlock all the songs. That's what I did... I don't have a person to play co-op with. GH3 was quite stupidly designed when it comes to the co-op thing. I can't just play co-op in quick play like I could with 2 because apparently you have to unlock the mode by beating Co-Op Career... Which I don't really have the ability to do. I hate when games do that. Give me the ****ing features from the go - I shouldn't have to unlock stuff just to play a game the way it's meant to be played (like quick play songs and what not).
