Guitar Hero: The One and Only Thread
Continuing from http://forum.dvdtalk.com/video-game-...-part-3-a.html
Let's use this for any and all GH news unless there's a stand-alone game that necessitates it's own thread (DJ Hero, GH: Zeppelin, etc). In the waning weeks before the GH5 pre-emptive-Beatles launch, we have the rumored setlist: Spoiler:
As well as the leaked achievements: Spoiler:

Re: Guitar Hero: The One and Only Thread
Thanks Pinata - you the hombre.

Re: Guitar Hero: The One and Only Thread
I really like the set list, but I probably won't be getting it if you can't import songs from World Tour and Metallica. I've got around 250 - 300 songs in my Rock Band library. I can have a dozen guys over, all picking songs and trading instruments and everyone's having a blast. I pop in a Guitar Hero game and the room gets bored with it way quicker. I wish Activision would get on the boat with bringing everything you've bought into the same library. Oh well. I'll pick it up when it hits $15 at Target Clearance, just for a handful of songs I'd enjoy playing alone.

Re: Guitar Hero: The One and Only Thread
I like the bands... but not the songs so much.
|
Re: Guitar Hero: The One and Only Thread
Shocked to see Elliott Smith in there.I love him but wouldnt have thought of his music for a GH game.
Great to see Sonic Youth's Incinerate and Jeff Beck's Scatterbrain in there. |
Re: Guitar Hero: The One and Only Thread
Souns good.
And the new guitar looks really great too. |
Re: Guitar Hero: The One and Only Thread
I love the bands...and GH is nowhere near as terrible as Rock Band in this regard...but quite a few of the song choices are just headscratching and bordering on terrible. They need to use itunes/album sales as the gauge and work there way down...not a few people trying to show how creative and eclectic they are by picking random songs from amazing artists.

Re: Guitar Hero: The One and Only Thread
I'll give them some alt-rock cred for including The Duke Spirit, Vampire Weekend, My Morning Jacket, Sunny Day Real Estate and Band of Horses... but, as mentioned, those big name acts got some crappy ass titles.
Blur - Song 2, though. Wooo hooo. |

This. Alot of those selections are ones that I would've chose to not put on the game if I was making that list. Queen, KISS, Deep Purple, and Motley Crue are the big standouts for me that get a thumbs down, and I love all 4 of those bands.
Are bands holding out their best songs to see if they can get a GH or RB title dedicated to them? |
Re: Guitar Hero: The One and Only Thread
Hopefully we don't see any more dedicated games unless they're someone worth dedicating. The one's announced/released, in my opinion, are worthy:
Aerosmith: Sure, but done poorly AC/DC: Big library, great songs, but why live tracks? Metallica: Good stuff, especially with the DM download (But not exactly my cup o' tea) Van Halen: Yeah, big library & awesome guitarist, but pick the right songs Beatles: While I'm a semi-fan of the Beatles, THIS is what a dedicated game should be. I'm an 80's guy, so my opinion is biased, but even still... KISS: Big library, but GH/RB worthy? I don't think so, and they're my fave band. Deep Purple: Not enough 'hits', too much keyboard. Motley Crue: It'd be nice, but I don't see it happening. Bon Jovi: Enough hits, big library, but they'd fuck it up Aerosmith style. Rolling Stones: Bring it on! (and I'm not a huge fan) Jimi Hendrix: Not enough 'hits' for a complete game. Led Zeppelin: :bow: |

Re: Guitar Hero: The One and Only Thread
That doesn't really make sense when contrasted with the GH artist standalone games, though-all of which have featured an assortment of tracks from various albums, rather than songs taken from a greatest hits package. I would have very much preferred the same approach for the AC/DC release. I'd have to guess it may have been a money thing.

Re: Guitar Hero: The One and Only Thread
I'm a big Police/Sting fan and they chose.... Demolition Man???
WTF were they thinking? |
Re: Guitar Hero: The One and Only Thread
I thought the Police song was "So Lonely?"

Re: Guitar Hero: The One and Only Thread
Ahh. My bad-I haven't even seen anyone talk about WT in ages, so I guess it slipped my mind.

Re: Guitar Hero: The One and Only Thread
More tracks confirmed, with one (in my opinion) MAJOR difference:
Attack! Attack! UK - "You And Me" Bon Jovi - "You Give Love A Bad Name" Darker My Love - "Blue Day" The Duke Spirit - "Send A Little Love Token" Elton John - "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)" Face To Face - "Disconnected" Garbage - "Only Happy When It Rains" Kaiser Chiefs - "Never Miss A Beat" Kiss - "Shout It Out Loud" Love and Rockets - "Mirror People" My Morning Jacket - "One Big Holiday" Nirvana - "Lithium (Live)" The Police - "So Lonely" Rammstein – "Du Hast" The Rolling Stones - "Sympathy For The Devil" Sonic Youth - "Incinerate" Screaming Trees - "Nearly Lost You" Sublime - "What I Got" The Sword - "Maiden, Mother & Crone" Thin Lizzy - "Jailbreak" Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - "American Girl" The White Stripes - "Blue Orchid" |

Here is the official RedOctane GH5 drumset reveal. Hmm and just a day after the Logitech kit was. http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/16/re...-hero-5-drums/ |
Re: Guitar Hero: The One and Only Thread
It looks, um, sturdy, but it's more cartooney than the in-game characters.
|
Re: Guitar Hero: The One and Only Thread
I wonder about that rumored setlist.....
I had been curious why Smells like Teen Spirit hasn't been available yet. |
