damnnn... i would love 2 get 1 of this set when it comes out but i would hate 2 flush all the cash it will costs.
btw, they should change the name ler. why is it called guitar hero when it consists of guitar,drums, bass and mic? should called it band hero or gig hero or theonlywayyoucanplaymusicalinstruments hero.

Whoops! Wrong link!
It's from here:
http://www.guitarheronews.com/Sorry sorry.......
But the cool parts, as quoted from that site:
QUOTE
Multiple Instruments!
Guitar Hero 4 is taking an obvious step it needs to take at this point in the series by adding more instruments to the game in order to compete with Rock Band. It is said that the game will feature The Guitar (of course), Bass guitar, Drums, and Microphone. I mean we all knew it had to happen and was going to, but I am definitely excited to play Guitar Hero with multiple instruments. Everyone knows how incredibly fun the drums are on Rock band.
Confirmed Bands for Guitar Hero 4!
There is also information about bands that will be featured in the new game and although there has only been a couple of bands mentioned that will be in the game, the list is looking damn good.
Confirmed so far:
* Van Halen
* The Eagles
* Linkin Park
* Sublime
I mean 3 of the 4 just mentioned are just awesome. I am not sure, but I would imagine The Eagles would be bringing Hotel California to the game which is a great song. Van Halen is just sweet and have a bunch of good songs. And Sublime is amazing also. I hope they get Santeria from Sublime. I personally don’t like Linkin Park very much, but who knows, maybe playing their songs will be sweet. It looks like Activision is listening to the fans becuase I have seen tons of requests for those bands to be included in the game.
Create A Song Feature!
I was personally not expecting this one. Apparently you will now be able to create your own songs to play!!!!! I guess they also saw all the modding and hacking that has been going on with the previous Guitar Hero Games and they decided to make it a feature. I think you can only modify the songs that are already on the game unfortunately. It would be sweet to be able to do your own songs somehow. The only thing that you can’t mess with is the songs vocals due to possible storage and copyright issues. And once you are all done making your new song all sweet, you will then be able to upload your songs so that other Guitar Hero Players can download and play your masterpieces.
Guitar Hero 4 will be released for PS3. XBOX 360, Wii, and PS2 and is due to be released Fall 2008.
- Create a song. Although these exclude vocals due to storage and possible copyright issues.
- You'll be able to name your song as well as creating album art. After you've done all that you can upload it to GH Tunes where anyone can download it.
- You'll be limited to 5 songs at first. But depending on the ratings you get you'll possibly be able to upload 10 or more.
- The song sharing mode will be in the Wii and PS2 versions also, but GI says it's unlikely that it'll be as robust as the PS3 and 360 versions.
- Drums, bass, vocals guitar
- Create a rocker
- Create a guitar and drums
- All songs will be master tracks
- They don't want to discuss specifics on track listing out of fear of being scooped by the competition. However they confirmed 4 bands: Van Halen, The Eagles, Linkin Park and Sublime.
- A new guitar designed by Red Octane that includes a new input mechanic that'll "impact the way you play GH in the future".
- GI saw see through notes while playing that Neversoft said was the new input mechanic and that they were trying to patent.
Sounds super SWEET!!!!!!!!

Read through some parts of the posted article and yes it is fantastic that they are taking this direction. The drums look good but the pedal still looks flimsy.
And completely wireless too! woohoo!
My only problem with it? At least acknowledge Rock Band got it right. They were being so defensive that it sounded borderline sour grapes to me.
blacktrix
May 18 2008, 07:22 PM
I just hope the guitar parts are still awesome, otherwise, they should call it Band Hero or something....
I love that Guitar Hero 3 is completely separate experience from Rock Band, ie: Killer Guitar parts that seems to be lacking in Rock Band. But then again, Rock Band is a great party game..... So you can say GH3 is for the competitive people, while Rock Band is more of a group Co-op game.
But the more I read the article, the more I think that Guitar Hero 3 will be the last true competitive Guitar Hero game.......

Oh well, here's to the future!

I'm very disappointed that Gibson is NOT going to have their guitars in the game. Part of the reason why I love the game was because I REALLY love Gibson guitars.
And it's more sad that NO OTHER COMPANY is picking up the slack..... Not ESP, not Ibanez, not Schecter.......... very very very sad indeed.

Accidental star power is the answer. But, I wanna see how gameplay has evolved even though we have a good way of saying that having new instruments changes the way we play.
I rather the tile become Guitar Hero: The Band.

Heck, I'm having troubles with playing it on a real guitar...... I doubt it'll be much easier in GH.
Sometimes it's easier to play songs on a real guitar because of what musicians call "muscle memory", in which we automatically play the notes due to constant practicing.
Guitar Hero is a little different in the sense that we have only 5 buttons where the notes is not fixed to it. If you find the time to memorize, you're memorizing the patterns, rather then the notes.
So to sum it up, it's easier to memorize real guitar parts then it is to memorize Guitar Hero parts.
At least, to me it works that way.

As long as Activision doesn't blueballs Asian gamers like what EA did with Rock Band, one unit of GH4 is almost certain to end up in my room.
Ohhh, IGN has a trailer for the new drumset. Chad Smith, Stewart Copeland and Travis Barker gave thumbs up to it.

The game will land here on early November 2008, according to my

Two bundle will be available: the Complete Bundle (NOT this
Deluxe Bundle mind you) and Guitar Bundle.
I don't have anymore story beyond that...
Oh yah, I always forget to ask you blacktrix...where can we get the custom faceplate?

Oct 9 2008, 04:39 PM
oh i think you can get custom faceplates just about anywhere on the internet.
there's one place that can even let you make one from a picture you have.
i think blacktrix's one(the one i saw at the gamer's hideout thing) was from red octane's website.they've got some crap ones that you'll learn to adore.
blacktrix
Oct 9 2008, 06:35 PM
I actually made my own

Found a shop in Sungai Wang that can make custom stickers.
So I gave him my design, printed it out, and then cut it to match the LP's faceplate and whacked it on. Had to very patiently put it on, because of all the air bubbles.......
