GH WT and SH both import into Band Hero as long as they are part of the original export and pass the ratings test.

They said they are still working on release more of the songs from WT and SH via import, but I don't have my hopes up at this point.

Metallica has never been mentioned...but with the code on the back of the manual, it is always an option down the road.

I have import codes for SH and WT for 360. If interested, pm me.

I wonder if they are going to charge more and you need the code again for SH and WT? Or will they just update what you already downloaded so that you just have to download it again to get the expanded songs.

They have stated that when (or if) they update again, all you will need to do is pay another small license fee. XBOX Live will already recognize the code from the first import and it won't have to be imported again. The license fees have actually been very reasonable so I really hope they finish licensing the rest and put them up for importing.

I really would like to see the ability to import from GH:M and GH:V. The GH5 engine is so much better, it sucks having to use the old one.

*Laughs*

Somebody get Courtney on suicide watch.

God, that is just wrong.

No on can argue that she realized that's what she was giving them permission to do. They need to redo that with a 360 Avatar dressed like The Joker next to him n

So is YMCA available in Gui

Activision already got it pulled from YouTube.

I'm not sure if you quit typing this sentence because you realized the answer or not....but if you didn't, yes, you can get YMCA in GH5 by doing the Band Hero import of songs from that title.....

No, it's in command-line only.

lol nerd typo humor

Brett Ratner is featured on the Guitar Hero homepage in a video.


Brett. Fucking. Ratner.


I love Rock Band more and more each day.

I realize most of you have long finished GH5, but I just finished GH5 the other night and wanted to complain too. lol

I don't know what it is about this game, but it's just not a lot of fun to play. It has a few really good songs too, but just so much stuff I really don't ever want to play again. And why don't they let you use the drums to scroll up and down a list? I HAVE THE STICKS IN MY HANDS DAMMIT! The interface is just not great over all really.

The charting is more difficult than RB2 (at least to me) and I actually like this. But ultimately it just doesn't sound that good. I assume this is because one of the star power benefits is making the music sound better, but that's just kind of nuts to me. I mean I guess if you're 5 starring on expert all the time then you'll spend a lot of time in star power, but when you're learning, or trying to move up...not so much.

I don't like the cartoonish look of the avatars either, and the character creator is way too complicated to bother with.

I did like GH Van Halen (would have liked some Sammy Haggar stuff though) because I liked a lot of the songs AND the music sounded good all the time.

I still plan to get World Tour because I really want to learn to play Hotel California on the drums and sing at the same time. One of my favorite songs. (I'm sure the guitar is fun too, but I don't think I'll ever learn how to do HOPOs lol.) Hopefully WT will be more fun than 5 was.

FWIW, GH:WT is what made me give up on the Guitar Hero series for good. YMMV.

i quit typing it to make fun of Pinata's post right above mine.

lol

Well, for $100 I got GH5, Van Halen and a guitar I like better than the one that came with RB2, so not a total loss. Also, Do You Feel Like I Do.

GH:WT is bloody awful. Might be worth it to export to GH5, which has an infinitely better engine (although worse sound, for some reason).

Ha! Joke's on you! I didn't quit typing, I fat-fingered my double-space on the iPhone to put a period so you got space-n.

Dumbass!

I doubt it's been officially announced but the inevitable Guitar Hero 6 is on the way. Found this tidbit amidst a ton of new Tesla announcements:

This is one of those tracks I've wanted since I got into the games, so it being in GH6 taints it a little, but still exciting. Of course, bands have usually been proven to be wrong, so maybe we'll see it sooner via DLC.

And since it's for a good cause(and semi related), Frank Hannon of Tesla recorded a tribute song for firefighters (9/11/wildfire tribute). You can listen to it free or buy the single by donating six or more bucks. It's a pretty solid tune.

Activision has said they want to "cut back" on the 'Hero' titles for 2010. I guess they see that the well is starting to dry up for them. It has been said they only want to produce three titles next year (Guitar Hero 6, Band Hero 2, and DJ Hero 2), and focus more on DLC. Harmonix have a huge head-start if Activision just now are going to start focusing on DLC (which I guess means more than 3 songs a week). I don't see many gamers being swayed by this, so it would probably be mostly GH-diehards.

It's funny how in 2008 when the rhythm game genre looked like there was no end in sight, Activision said they wanted to "double SKUs for 2009 and triple them in 2010" or something to that effect. Now they're wanting to drop down to 3 titles (which is probably a good thing). I guess now they can focus their efforts on more Call of Dutys.

Sounds good to me. Hopefully, we will see more polished GH games now.

I LOVED Tesla back in the day. Tried listening to them recently. The singer sounds just like Eric Cartman. WTF happened??

BOO Tesla. BOO!

I'm not a musician, but AS a musician, just what is so appealing about GH at this point?

RB has an entire network in the works where you can promote and author your own professional music. Something a professional musician would be clamoring over I would think instead of being pimped by Activision.

I really don't get it. I love Tesla, but I don't get these decisions at all any more.

I kind of figured this craze would settle down at some point. I don't think they're just a fad that will go away completely, but they probably weren't destined to continue having the level of success they had the past couple of years. They'll still have a following, but it may not be to the point where everybody is playing them.
