Another 360/PS3 multiplat Sheep will pretend not to care about...

Harmonix takes the guitar Hero concept to the next level with ROCK BAND.

    I am undecided.

    As for that, isn't Harmonix making a Drum game for the Wii or something?

I hope this one has a better soundtrack than GH. I need some METAL!Choga

GH had a great song list. GH II on the other hand...

Pfft all GH had was one Pantera song and one Megadeth song. 

Remember, anything not on Nintendo that is being hyped is just graphics and thats it, no gameplay, dont you know, they can NEVER go together!Oemenia

You know, it's kind of strange, watching you talk to yourself.

Anyway, I predict MTV is going to bring a huge pile of suck to this game. If it actually has a good soundtrack, then I might just buy it.

Urgh, Metalcore nowadays disgusts me. So many generic acts around.Oemenia

Truth, I've almost completely lost faith in American Metal. Seems like all the quality metal comes from Europe now, Finnland mostly.

Yeah, I was speaking directly about the two bands mentioned. Maiden and 'Deth are what GH needs more of. I'm surprised Metallica never showed up

but even their original stuff never was THAT great, at least IMHO. yoshi_64

Well then we disagree with something. Kill 'em All, and Ride the Lightning  are masterpieces. Master of Puppets and ...and Justice for All are just classics.

That being said, Metallica is faaarr from being my favorite Metal band. 

http://wii.ign.com/articles/777/777553p1.html Rock Band on Wii? Harmonix CEO says "Absolutely."Weslii

Too bad Wii owners will have to wait longer. Rock Band has no release date on the Wii. 360/PS3 version will be out this christmas.

http://kotaku.com/gaming/wii/wii-rock-band-likely-248882.php

Just got off the phone with folks from Harmonix, EA, MTV, Rhino and Universal, lots of interesting Rock Band tid-bits came out of the call, but I wanted to throw this one thing up quickly, if for no other reason than to put Wii owner's minds at ease.



The Wii was conspicuously absent from the Rock Band announcement this morning and during the call Alex Rigopulos addressed the concern that Nintendo gamers may not be getting their band on.

Absolutely, we will at some time bring Rock Band to every console of significance and in doing so we will customize and tailor the play experience to take into account the weakness of the console and the strengths of the consoles," he said. "I think (the Wii) is something that holds enormous potential for music games."



While that's not 100 percent, it sure sounds like they plan on a Wii Rock Band down the line. I think the reason it wasn't announced is because they're going to want to totally revamp it for the Wii and making the game for the PS3 and 360 is similar enough that that isn't an issue.



Stick around for a full story on the nearly hour-long press conference. Brian Crecente



 

[QUOTE="yoshi_64"]Did they not also display interest in GH for Wii and DS? It may not be announced outright now, but I've heard the CEO said it's something they are looking into, and witht he success of the Wii right now appealing to the mainstream audience, do you really think they would pass up the opportunity to do this? Highly It's intruguing, and I a owner of a Wii and 360 will look into regardless, but don't count the "sheep" out yet, cause it's possible this can happen as well. Besides, the nunchuk would be perfect for drum sticks already, not needing one to add in a peripheral which iwll likely be added to up the others and up the cost.

Wow...that would ruin the game. The whole point of guitar hero is to play with the SG controller. Ya know...actual guitar shaped peripheral.

Theoretically, the nunchuck and Wiimote alone could serve as a guitar, with the nunchuck's analog stick being the strumming....thing... and the whammy bar (twirl it instead of flick it for the whammy effect), and the Wiimote's buttons being the fret keys. Just plug it into a plastic frame.magus-21

Why not just use the GH guitar? I can;t imagine anything else satisfying your lust for innovation and immersion short of an actual guitar. 

Harmonix takes the guitar Hero concept to the next level with ROCK BAND.
