Rock Band is t3h doomed! D:

Thats good for GH4 and all but lets not kid ourselves, the main GH game this year will be GH: Aerosmith. I can't wait for that.

Hahaha! Wow.

I GUESS I'm not surprised but I still kinda am!

Rawk never gonna die.

Also why is it not possible for Rock Band and Guitar Hero to co-exist?

birdman · 05-15-2008, 09:04 AM

Oh they most likely will. It's gonna be a constant one-upping by both sides to have the better music party game, and of course the competition will be in our favor. I'm just a bit surprised that GH went the exact path of Rock Band.

I'm not really.
I mean there are only so many guitar songs they could do.
And really drums are a huge part of a band too.

Surprised no vocals or was that information later added?

birdman · 05-15-2008, 09:10 AM

Yeah, they're adding vocals too. It's gonna be sketchy though, because Harmonix used their Karaoke Revolution stuff to make the vocal part of Rock Band, and last I checked Neversoft's never made a singing game.

Actually I wish one of them would die away soon, this reminds me fully of the Blu-Ray/HD-DVD war, we have to formats that are pretty much the exact same now and we're going to have to have two entire set ups to play each.

Like for people who have Rock band already, if they want the "full experience" of GH4 now they're gonna have to go buy a whole other set of drums and a mic. I know I'm gonna go to bird's house one day and see that he has: 2 Guitar Hero guitars, 1 GH drum kit, 1 GH mic, 2 Rock Band Guitars, 1 RB drum kit, and 1 RB mic. SO FUCKING UNNECESSARY.

So yeah, competition or not I hope one gets axed soon because this little pissing contest between Activision and Harmonix is lame as shit.

gekko · 05-15-2008, 12:19 PM

One get axed soon? Rock Band has sold great, and Guitar Hero III can't be stopped. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but GHIII is the only 3rd party Wii game to ever crack the top 5 of sales charts. In other words, it's the most successful 3rd party Wii game made, and that doesn't include the other 75 systems spanning across 2 galaxies and 17 planets that it sold on.

Aladuf · 05-15-2008, 12:33 PM

Yeah I'm not denying anything you're saying, I know the games are selling great. Last I remember hearing Rock Band has sold over a million and GH3 was somewhere over 5 million. But that aside, like I said, I hate the constant pissing contest between both companies they're like a couple of fucking 5 year olds bitching at each other.

Also, I think if GH4 has quality hardware then that'll be a big hit on Rock Band too. These things were coming broken out of the box, how is that excusable for a $170 game? birdman over here can't deny that either, 2 out of 3 instruments of his broke (the only one that didn't break was the mic :O) and the guitar broke in a very short amount of time iirc.

Yeah both my drums and guitar broke, but they replaced them quickly and free of charge even when I had had the game for 5 months and the damage to the drums was most likely my fault (or one of my roommates). Even though the hardware was a bit crappy initially, I can't really complain with customer service like that.

Also, am I the only one that could care less about Guitar Hero: Aerosmith? I never have really liked that band nor do I care to buy a game full of songs by them and bands they like.

Typhoid · 05-15-2008, 02:06 PM

Maybe you guys are being too rough with them?
I don't have any problems with my drums or guitar.
They are just pieces of plastic for a video game, after all.

No, you are most definetly in the majority of people who don't care about GH: Aerosmith. I can't wait for it to come out because I love Aerosmith to death.
