Default Re: GHIII News - Death to Rock Band

First, EA has nothing to do with the game other than publishing. So I don't see what that honestly changes about the game itself, other than the fact content will be downloadable, and it will have the "EA, Challenge everything" logo on startup.

The main thing that bugs me about people trying to compare these, is that they're comparing them so basically.


Guitar Hero is about Guitars. (Gee, you think?)
It's nothing more, nothing less. It's DDR for the fingers.

Rock Band, is moreso the same, except not just based on a guitar, and a guitar alone.

Rock Band is not trying to be Guitar Hero. It's not a guitar simulation. It's a band simulation.

If you have Guitar Hero, you can get together with friends, and have gutar battles.

If you play Rock Band, you can get together with friends, and try and be a really crude DDR based band.

Guitar Hero is a good game, yes. It's fun, yes.

But Rock Band has such a good opportunity to be a good game, and people are shooting it down just because there is already a Guitar Hero game, and the two both include a guitar - so one must be ripping the others off, even though Rock band includes drums, and vocals - if you so desire.

Thank god people these days are willing to give something a chance, before discrediting it completely.

Publishers play a very significant role in game development. EA has the sole control to make or break this game.

Ah yes, but if you use the magic of sight and comprehension you would read:

Does anybody think it would be okay to get Guitar Hero III before I get Guitar Hero II? I'm just now getting into Guitar Hero, and I've played both part II and the 80's versions in Best Buy stores. I seem to be doing pretty good, even though I'm still waiting to master the medium difficulty level a bit more, before I move on to hard or expert. I figured that since I seem to be getting addicted to the game, I should probably invest in my own copies of Guitar Hero II and Rocks The 80's, instead of freeloading off of Best Buy for their demos.
