I'm a big fan of Guitar Hero but does anyone else think these games are starting to get a bit ridiculous? That trailer was hilarious IMO. If you want a "band" experience why don't you start a real band. Guitar Hero was a fun rythym game but it's starting to go too far.

Yeah, because everyone knows how easy and cheap it is to start a band, much cheaper and easier than playing a rhythm game with friends.

I'm just getting the drums and the game, if this is cheaper than RB is here in Europe and it has proper functions on the Wii unlike RB then they could have an advantage over RB.

I'm still unsure. I liked GH3 but it was more a casual game for me, no really my everyday favorite. Now a full drums set for a casual game... It will depend on pricing and packaging for me because in Mx we have to pay a lot of taxes and overpriced games :-(

I'm hoping that they release the game in multiple bundles.

a) just the game

b) the game and the new guitar

c) the everything bundle

If you can get through the game fully functional with the Les Paul, I'll just get the game. If the new guitar does something unbelievably awesome that the Les Paul can't, I'd get the game and the guitar. I wouldn't buy the drums or the mic regardless.

sadly, according to Activision, the guitar will do just that *tries to console crying money* "its ok my compadres! Icarus wont throw you away like that"

I'm guessing by "make some competition," you mean completley rip the idea from Harmonix.

i hate to break it to you, harmonix wasn't the 1st people to think of having a drum sim in their game. obviously their have been games like drum mania (im thinking thats the title) that have came out. Trust me, I'm no fan of activision what so ever (I hate every one of them) but they weren't Ripping off harmonix for the drums. I actually do think these drums look much better than the 1's with rockband because red octane and neversoft make way better hardware than EA. However, they should name this game We're trying to compete with rockband , instead of guitar hero, because thats all this is becoming

im guessing by "completley rip the idea from Harmonix" you mean "completely rip the idea from Konami ruler of rhythm. Does anyone know what the song is in this video? Voice sounds like Kravitz guitars kinda sound like hendrix. I'll cry tears of joy if hendrix songs are avalible even more if Voodoo child is included with the game. So should i still get rock band for the 3-5 months b4 GH4 comes out?

This looks good.

And to the guy who said something about starting your own band, I am in my school band and I take private drum lessons, and I can say for real that GH is a heck of a lot diffrent then that. I play GH for a good game, not for my band ;),

i accually play real drums and ive played guitar hero and rock band... i guess guitar hero just has the drums coming because everyone seemed to like the guitar hero equipment better than the rock band stuff and most people liked guitar hero better. but really it is Guitar hero drums will probably just feel tacked on... if it aint broken then dont fix it.

What about singing?

I understand that, but these games are almost nothing like playing real instruments. For me, Guitar Hero always appealed to me because it was a really fun timing/rythym game with excellent music. This whole "band simulation" thing is getting a bit crazy though. Inviting your friends over to wail on some plastic instruments and pretend you are rock stars... I don't know... it just sounds a bit over the top to me, and that trailer didn't help.

You'd think Rock Band was already brutal enough on our wallets. How much is Guitar Hero going to cost now...?

I don't know about you guys, but I'm excited. I think I heard my wallet scream, but I don't mind, AS LONG AS we get DLC. No DLC = I'm not buying.

is this guitar hero or rock band ? I would just get rock band if I was interested. Guitar Hero knows that if they didnt step it up they were going down the drain, but there are too many of these games and I am not buying any more !!

Well, that's not going to happen unless we get a hard drive. Blame Nintendo for that one.

Don't expect the drums to be tacked on. And Guitar Hero was broke, because it was getting old fast and the whole series would have died without combating rock band. I mean, which would you choose: a game with a guitar, or a game with a guitar, drums AND a Microphone that can allow you to play with more people. They dug themselves a hole with GH3, and I did not really care for GH2 because the singing was horrible. So, before you say: if it aint broke dont fix it, maybe you should notice that it IS broke.

hahaha.. that trailer was soooooooo lame. an embarassment to GH players. The drum hardware looks cool though.

People were talking about "real" guitars and drums vs these...These virtual drums could possibly improve basic drumming skills, but playing guitar hero guitars will do next to nothing in improving abilities on an stringed guitar.

but yea.. bad trailer... they should have shown more footage of the drum set instead of the Hanna Montana crowd.

Do you think with the record and release your own songs option, there won't be any DLC? Also if I save money and don't have anything else to buy, would you think it would be a stupid move to buy this when I already have Rockband? I have a large room, and I'm a sucker for rhythm games.

Also, does anyone have any idea if a DDR game will be released any time soon?

EDIT: ^^ I mean a new DDR game that doesn't use the nunchuck and actually has techno/dance/electronic songs.

Yeah I Dont Think They Should Turn Guitar Hero Into a Full Band Game. I Mean, Its Called GUITAR HERO, Not BAND Hero. The Drums And Any Thing Else Wont Fit The Series, In My Opinion.

I have no problem with putting drums and a mic in. As long as the game's primary focus is on the guitar. I don't want them to sacrifice a song with good guitar to replace it with a song that has good drums and/or mic, but with a repetitive / boring guitar section. I hope i made sense.
