I do like Paint It Black and When You Were Young but, like mentioned in the article, these aren't new to music games. I would feel a little short-changed knowing that I already owned those in GH before but can't use them.

Meh.

Gotta say, that song list (save When You Were Young) kinda sucks. I might cancel my pre-order.

More songs announced (and further confirming that this isn't a game for me):

Any non-English songs again?

Now all those "YOU SUCK!" signs are starting to make sense.

I still think them changing things up is nice, although the reaction from everyone makes it sound like they prefer what they've been used to with a huge library of songs.

That said, none of the songs mentioned so far entice me. I still feel kind of done with the music game genre and more plastic instruments, even if I can get this game for a discount.

WTF is this shit? Definitely cancelling my pre-order now.

If those were DLC I'd pick up a few, but not impressive so far. It is nice to see a few new names on the list, though.

Not the Manson song I'd choose, but KSE, Mastodon, Royal Blood, Deftones? That's pretty awesome to me... but it doesn't matter because I'll never buy this game.

More shrug-worthy on disc titles announced.

At this point I'm liking more of the GH track list than the RB list. Too bad I really don't have any interest in the game itself.

More songs announced:

To be fair, though, we only know something like 6 songs in Rock Band 4 vs. dozens for Guitar Hero Live.

Is there much/any crossover between these announced GH songs and the past releases & DLC? I'm confused by the seemingly "deep cut" nature of most of these when there will be no conflict in hitting the more popular titles of the bands.

It leads me to believe that, against all better judgement or intel, that Activision may still be trying to revive the back GH catalog for resell on the modern platform. Sure, you may have to buy again, but they might be working on offering $19.99 packs for GH1, GH2, GH:WT, etc.

Ain't nobody got time for 2 music games again - especially a reboot that changes the game-play and doesn't use anything from the previous games.

This. And I am not going to get into spending hundreds of dollars again on DLC.

Which is why Rock band is the clear choice for fans of these games.

Yep. Give me what I paid for and I am going casual this time.

Obviously. GH just seems to be making it clear they aren't willing to step on past DLC's toes just yet. They may be able to work out relicensing the tracks and clearing forward-ownership with MS and Sony once they get a satisfactory conversion routine for the old charts to the new button layout.

Despite not being part of Tracklist Tuesday, an additional thirty-two tracks have also been revealed for the game and they are as follows:

New Politics - "Harlem"
Bruno Mars - “The Lazy Song”

Band of Skulls - "Asleep at the Wheel"
American Authors - "Best Day of My Life"
Jake Bugg - "What Doesn’t Kill You"
Biffy Clyro - "Sounds Like Balloons"

Jesus Christ, aside a few tracks that's a shit list of songs.

When I think "Guitar Hero" I totally think of Bruno Mars.

Achievements are up: http://www.trueachievements.com/Guit...hievements.htm

The bulk of them appear to be related to the online portion of the game, unfortunately.

Also, there's a 2 point, 18 point, 19 point and a 24 point achievement, if you're the type who has OCD about your score ending in either 0 or 5.

And a 12-point one to bring it back to ending in a 0 or 5.

I don't mind these achievements. Much better than "finish everything on expert" or whatever. Allow me to get everything just by playing long enough, not by actual skill. I don't have time for that any more.

Stretch it out forever with DLC if you want (Harmonix), I'm gonna buy more and play more.
