UK, May 23, 2007 - Activision has rocked our world by officially announcing that Guitar Hero III will feature wireless guitars, an online multiplayer mode and original artists recordings when the game is released this Autumn.
Guitar Hero III will be available on PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii and will feature an abundance of new modes, including a multiplayer action-inspired battle mode, boss battles, unlockable content and authentic rock venues.
More importantly, wannabe rock gods can get their fingers in a twist with the all-new wireless guitar controllers, with the Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 getting the Gibson Les Paul and PS2 the proud recipient of a Gibson Kramer. What's more, the guitars will have removable faceplates that allow fans to personalise their guitars, plus they'll include a new button colour design for "an even greater authentic feel and rock experience".
In addition Guitar Hero III will include an expanded online multiplayer in which axe-shredders worldwide can compete in head-to-head battles to prove they're the ultimate rock legend. As for the tracks you'll be rocking along to, Activision has revealed that GHIII features more master recordings than ever before, with the first tracks announced as follows:
Paint It Black - The Rolling Stones
Cherub Rock - Smashing Pumpkins
Sabotage - Beastie Boys
The Metal - Tenacious D
My Name is Jonas - Weezer
Knights of Cydonia - Muse
Rock And Roll All Nite - Kiss
School's Out - Alice Cooper
Slow Ride - Fog Hat
Cult of Personality - Living Colour
Barracuda - Heart
Dusty Welch, head of publishing at RedOctane, said: "The development team at Neversoft has been exceptional and we've been able to incorporate a host of fresh new online and multiplayer game play modes, along with exciting content into this version of Guitar Hero that our fans have been asking for. Also, many of the top bands and songs we've tried to get in the past are now on board."
YESSSSSS!!!!! WEEZER AND MUSE...FINALLY...FINALLY :hyper:OMG!OMG! GET READYYYY!!!!

well the fact that gh2 is using usb plug is even better. if uve got some games on the pc, the buttons can be programmed to play those games. (ive tried it on "frets on fire") or "free version of guitar hero"
Barracuda is cool...riffs are just perfect here Paint it black.... NAM... not to mention that it was used for PS2's Twisted metal black game too.... Knights...Imagine how long u'll be playin that song???
Rumor has it that there will be a song from slipknot, marilyn and another goth band... rock on!!!
I tried out the GH3 demo......... GH2 players will need a HARD time to relearn...... the controls are abit off....... Hopefully it's fixed in the final version.
Should be able to, as the developers state that the GH guitars WILL work with Rock Band. Also, if you've seen the early videos on Youtube, they are all using the current GH2 guitars....... which means shouldn't be a problem with GH3.
But what I suspect, is that you'll need Live to update your machine because of the new wireless guitars.
Tour groups are the Guitar Hero equivalent of clans. This is where you and your friends can get together and communicate in a private forum, keep watch on each other's performances, and pool together groupies to compare with other groups.
Eh no one notice there's a demo available for dlod? It's available at fileshack of all places. You just need to dload the iso n then burn to cdr or dvdr, then go to the Demo section of the Dashboard to launch the game.
Songs available in the demo: 1. Hit Me With Your Best Shot - Pat Benatar 2. Lay Down - Priestess 3. Even Flow - Pearl Jam 4. Rock You Like A Hurricane - Scorpions 5. The Metal - Tenacious D
Thanks for the link, downloaded and tried it yesterday, quite the chunted, too bad only four songs and then you get kicked out of the demo and need to restart. I like the fact that they indicate which notes you can do a pull off/hammer on so you don't have to figure to much when you can do it. Can't wait for the full version to be released.
I tried out the GH3 demo......... GH2 players will need a HARD time to relearn...... the controls are abit off....... Hopefully it's fixed in the final version.
Agree on that. Tried at GH today. control ada lari sikit. I tot the guitar rosak or something
hahah.. yeah.. can come out like er.. what was it it... level up diffuculty, then overlord the amps... then make the whammy bar... is it unusable or something.. I forgot already.
I believe I'm a decent medium difficulty career player, 5 stared all songs in GH2. With Through the Fire and Flames, I can't even finish the song on medium. Crazy@$$ song
this is my first time playing guitar hero , and i just played the guitar hero 3 demo. what was funny was first i found medium pretty difficult. then after a while i tried hard and it was quite more challenging than medium. then after one day i played expert n hit 90% on a song on my 2nd try! XD but its an easy song "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" haha.. i think i might consider gettin this game.
HOLY COW THIS GAME ROCKS! .. literally. playin it on the xbox live is superb. played a few games and theres no lag at all. but kinda hate the ranked match... all those stupid tards are so rude. im a good boy. i never swear or cuss.

yeah rite daat day play halo wit me u swering because u kept missing wit ur sniper lol
i just thought of something keep the GH3 controller for those of u who bought it, then use it for rockband, after u get 100% for the song u beat on rockband in expert smash the guitar hero 3 contoller to show how much we love activsion lol( P.s this just a joke if u take this seriously go pus t on youtube show to activison lol)
ifrit.. dont spam here. it wont increase your post count.
I haven't finished the hard career yet, but it i find that the keys are now much more geared towards the guitar, i.e. lots of repeated notes. its much harder with a controller though to keep combos going.
lol... i need to finish hard career. but for some reason it wont let me enter the tutorial mode to complete for achievement
Ok, I'm playing the game on hard and I've reached Knights of Cydonia which I cannot for the life of me beat. Is there some way to tap faster? I'm playing with a controller, btw. There has to be another method to get those notes that are stuck extremely closely together cus my fingers just can't tap that fast.

So frustrating!
dude, invest in a guitar controller. it's worth the fun!
Yeah I tried it at Gamers Hideout the other day but I'm not sure if it's worth it. It's fun but probably not worth 300 Ringgus. I could buy PES and Assassin's Creed with 300 Rings. Heh.
I love this GH3 !!! after Black sabbath Paranoid, iron maiden the number of the beast, metallica one... now mastering santana BLACK MAGIC WOMEN... man,.. this song realy layan weeei!!

i dont know how to play a real guitar but i am all addicted to GH2 and it's only GH2 not yet GH3 so it's really worth it lah. maybe just do what like i did lah... when GH2 released that time it was rm350 cant afford it so wait couple of months till last month when no more ppl playing then buy used GH2 rm200... so same goes to GH3 lah hehehe have to wait till no more ppl playing it then only buy lah

Consider me a convert too. Had my first taste of GH, never touched GH ever before. Played the GH3 demo last nite and found it unexpectedly addictive ..... even without the guitar.
I thought there are 5 buttons on the guitar controller?
How do you use the 5th button if you use a regular controller?
The orange button on the guitar is the 'A' button for the controller.. But using the controller damn susah at first.. my fingers habis tersimpul trying to follow the buttons..
wei my hands aching la today ... last nite too much hero-ing on guitar.
played my first online game with mymistaman. thanks man. it was really fun. i screwed up on the second game cos i was focussing on your side of the screen and looking at the meters. hahaha .....
i haven't had this much fun on the 360 in a long while .... truly fun experience. now whole morning in meetings also my head is playing Hit Me With Your Best Shot!

Amacam penangan black magic women last night mistaman.. damm syok la that song play with the guitar.. (but if you're playing as the bassist.. my god!
everyday after work just ON my 360 , level Up the volume and hit black magic women.. suddenly everything seems relax.. and the feeling..
this game is totally awesome!!
ala bro..... layan gile la black magic woman..I will practice summore now akakakkakak..
Played the demo. Dont have the game yet. Bt the game is AWESOME, WICKED!
Pearl Jam - Even Flow ; is electrifying. Pat Benatar - Hit me with ur best shot is relaxing. Scorpion-rock u like a hurricane is some good music. Tenacious D-The metal is nice.
omg deitylord , i get that too! the screen like twirls a bit and after like 10 seconds its ok . it goes all weird, i think its my eyes as well, cant b my screen thats the problem, i might not get this game because of that..
anybody tried co-op career already ? Just read the manual and it says "watch out for songs that are not available on the single player career mode" or something like that.
So what i want to ask is what songs do they put in the coop career ? IINM paint it black is not available when i played coop with mayat the other day
In case anyone missed it, there is a free download pack for the Battle songs. 3 songs in total.
@ liang - SG and MY prices i don't know la, but in HK i bought the bundle for HK$730 (~RM316). One of the best buys this year for me. Now daughter fighting for 360 with me. Oh wait .... make that the worst buy!

Whoa... i just beat this guy, JoneAtron2388 and after the match he sent a voice msg threatening me that he'll file a complaint against me coz i was cheating . sore loser
I'm looking for Hard players to challenge..... getting quite good on most of the Hard songs (beaten alot of people on Through the fire and the flames....... easily my favorite song) and would like a challenge. I'm by no means an expert, but a challenging game to me is more fun.
Just add my nick, BlackTriX and see if I'm playing GH3.

Hi there everyone - just wondering anyone interested in a copy of new, sealed Xbox Guitar Hero 3 for RM95. PM if interested or have any queries. Thanks!
I dunno..... Sure, Harrison is an AMAZING guitarist which lots of feel..... but I can't imagine soloing to their songs.... It's mostly 3-4 chord progressions and not really suited for the Guitar Hero mythos.
HOWEVER...... if it's for Rock Band, it's an EXCELLENT add-on. They are fun songs to play and can be great with a bunch of friends.
Aerosmith WOULD be fun, because their songs are very guitar-centric and Joe Perry is just WICKED on the guitar. Fits too, because he's a Gibson player as well.
guitar hero games should make tribute to real guitar hero like satriani,vai,malmsteen,marty fretman, jon petrucci,or at least jimmy hendrix ok laa.. or make DLC .. and aggree with blacktrix .. the beatles songs is great to play in RoCKBand game...
Is it possible to get the Gibson GH3 controller separately from the game? I am still playing GH2 and still loving it. The tracks in GH3 doesnt really suit my love so i actually skipped that game.
i just bought a GH wireless guitar from a shop in Sunway Pyramid. The thing is, the receiver that came with the guitar wont connect the guitar to the console any idea on why this is happening ? maybe i'm doing something wrong or its hardware malfunction ?? thanks in advance
well i actually bought the guitar only which is the xplorer. and it comes with some receiver thing that im supposed to plug into the xbox360. is there such a thing as a wireless xplorer ?
well. the receiver is supposed to be connected to the usb pod in the xbox360. and then the wireless xplorer is supposed to connect to it but it doesnt work. anyone ever encounter this before ? :S:S
nvm its alright, i'm taking it back to the shop tomorrow to get it changed. but if anyone did encounter this problem before and fixed it, help would be appreciated

oh, THen do you know where to get a wired or wireless guitar? Prefer some better quality one.
I think the wired guitar (xplorer) from GH2 bundle is almost impossible to be purchase anywhere in retail outlet now bro, wireless guitar you can consider getting GH3 bundle (Les Paul) or wait for the GH-Aerosmith bundle....both are good value for $ considering the good quality of the guitar and a copy of the game included... I personally will never suggest anything NOT frm Neversoft & Activision...those 3rd party controller can really spoil the game and gets you really frustrated...

i bet got few people saying "Siapa orang gila ni?? Main Je dengan mainan tu"...I have heard it several times by old fogies while playing my portable games
i'm a new gh3 fan here. but my older bro got the "chipped" version of xbox. I can't download songs. I really want to play foo fighters on it. love them.
The DLC – aptly titled "The Virtuoso Pack" – has yet to be priced, but three song GH3 sets have historically cost 500 MS points (or $6.25 from the PlayStation Store). Here are the specific tracks, complete with video links for your memory-jogging pleasure:
* "Surfing with the Alien" by Joe Satriani * "For the Love of God" by Steve Vai * "Soothsayer" by Buckethead
OMG FREAKIN' G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STEVE VAI!!!!!!! THE SATCH! BUCKETHEAD!!!!!!!!

hey guys,dragonforce dlc pack.ttfaf was a nightmare,see how you guys like playing heroes of our time,revolution deathsquad and operation ground and pound! this is gonna be really fun.i only just 4-starred ttfaf,gotta beat these ones.
Wait lah..... the new controller looks to be better AND get the cool new touchpad functions....... THEN can pick up GH3 for cheap
i guess so... but damn... GH:WT is gonna be, what? RM800+ that's almost like buying a new console. of course i'll probably enjoy the heck out of it, but still...
just buy the game and the guitar controller first then. If you really enjoy it, buy the drums and mic later. The new guitar controller is really awesome.
We can start pre-ordering already. I pre-ordered mine last week. According to Jason, the bundle may cost less than the old RB bundle. Somewhere between RM650 to RM700. He told me that quite some time ago though, hope nothing's changed...

BTW, Any news when we can pre-order it Djinn????
still, it's gonna be WAAAYY cheaper if you buy all the instruments in a bundle.

you can always use rock band drums.... just to say,activision is not releasing stand-alone drums or microphone. the only packages are:
Full Bundle Guitar Bundle Standalone Game Trogdor Bundle(it comes with me:a fully functional pet that you can feed and bathe!)
i gets the rock band drums,though that might disqualify in rankings,because of the subtraction of one drum note
Added on October 5, 2008, 10:59 pmoh guys something's wrong with my les paul controller. red fret button seems to be dying.it will go on and off when it likes,so when it completely dies i break the controller and blow the fret board's connector,then put it back.
also,the strum bar seems to be double-strumming,which is irritating when i try to fc anything(minus freaking 2 notes for welcome to the jungle,and 1 note for 3's and 7's!!) i'd fix that,but it uses freaking torx screws,and i'm too lazy to go to a hardware store.
buy me nao pls kthxbai
