That backstage stuff looks cheesy as f***.
Plus I guess this rules out any sort of potential for backwards compatibility when it comes to the older guitar controllers?

I'm still sticking with Rock Band. I'm leaning more towards it as well, this looks gimmicky as hell.

I'll give them credit for trying something entirely new with the guitar controller (2 rows of 3 fret buttons each. which is a little more "real guitar"-like) instead of just copying Rock Band again. Might be awkward for people used to old GH/Rock Band to introduce that element of moving up and down the neck of the guitar for different frets as opposed to left and right, but it's different.
The whole "Sega CD-era FMV, now in HD!" element (as my friend coined), though. That looks weird.

I'm down. I used to get every GH and RB game that came out, so I'll probably be getting this day one.

And I think that's why this is going to be a hard sale. I know a ton of people who are getting Rock Band 4 over this mainly because they don't have to drop another $50 for a new controller and can just use their old ones. I will give Guitar Hero credit for trying something new, out of the box, and something that will make them stand out from Rock Band. But it might be too new to the point that dedicated GH fans are going to be turned off by this. I could see this being big or a major flop.

Theres a reason its always Carry on my wayward son when its show on tv not some killers song or whatever. tracks so far are terrible

Theres a reason its always Carry on my wayward son when its show on tv not some killers song or whatever. tracks so far are terrible Both of you have valid points though In Hawks defense, after the success of the Rock Band series, people are looking for more accessible songs, which is why a good portion of casual players choose to play No Doubt or Blink 182 because of what they know. Unfortunately we live in a society where now it's best to go with what the person is comfortable with, as opposed to the original guitar hero crowds that actually loved discovering new music, myself included. Plus Rock Band knew the success of Expansion Packs, such as Country Metal Classic Rock and even Lego Rock Band amongst band games such as Green Day and AC/DC, along with GH Metallica and Van Halen In Evils defense it definitely is true as well because unless the pop songs were well formed, playing them on guitar were completely disasterous, for example Band Hero and any Lady Gaga song on Rock Band. The only excuse I can think of at the moment is A) the new controller needs to be used to, so no true shredding or solo confusion, and B) With both games being away for approximately 4/5 years, you need to ease your audience back in.

Also in an interview, they say they're going for Blue Album era Weezer, though since we've had My Name is Jonas, Buddy Holly, and Say it Ain't So, not sure what to put in
I will say though, with the new frets, i wouldn't complain with My Name is Jonas being in front of a live crowd AND with the infamous fInger traveling of the Guitar POs/HOs

I was hyped for Rock Band returning, even did their survey and what not. Was looking forward to it, and now I see Guitar Hero is coming back. That's going to splinter the fanbase, should be interesting. Rock Band was working on importing your current song catalog over, so that'll be cool.

Eh, bit too pop-y for my liking. Seems Band Hero is leaking over.
