Quote from My Favourite Bits:
Lead developer Alan Flores states in a GameSpot interview that there will be "over 70 songs"

One - Metallica

An original song composed and performed by Slash of Velvet Revolver and Guns N' Roses

An original song composed and performed by Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave

"We've got a lot of songs and artists still that we would love to have. In particular, we've been trying to get Metallica, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin. So hopefully sometime in the near future, my wish and everybody's wish will come true and we can get some of their music in the game

Co-op Career
IGN announced that the game will include a 2-player co-op mode, like Guitar Hero II, however it will be a Career-style gameplay, therefore allowing two players to play through 6 of the 8 sets with different encores to unlock. However there will not be any boss battles in this mode. As in Guitar Hero II, one player will play bass guitar/rhythm guitar and one player will play lead guitar

According to my superleet inside knowledge (EBgames's website), It should be in aus on 7th of November, which is 4 weeks boys and girls. can i get a **** yeah!

:(

where is that at mr smarty pants? I do realise its being released in the US around that date.

two streets up from work ;)

:|

I'll kill people to play this in two weeks.

Dammit man why do you live in perth. Curse you!

wikipedia puts the release date at october 28 for america... i should probably call them and confirm :)

Well, if they are getting it in store on the 22nd, its a possibilty, that wiki date has been there for ages...

Store.... yeah, thats what it is :P

As far as I know 7th of November is a solid date for GH3 and I am pretty sure something like this will have a strict street date. Our dates (EB) got pushed back a week in the computer not long ago. That said it could change still if something happens higher-up...
At this point in time I'm willing to call bullshits :P

pala always gets everything early :P its not the roughest.

Sounds good for the lan pala?

not too loud i hope... don't want the neighborhood to to hear the constant sounds of Fail when you miss a note :P

i'm two songs away from clocking gh2 on expert, and i've five starred 95% of hard, there aren't gonna be that many fail notes :P

ive only got 1 song left on each of the 3 games, Cowboys from hell, Jordan, and Extreme.

i just couldnt take anymore, extreme i could probably do, but jordan and cowboys from hell are seriously retarded.

Hopefully my Warfdale's are up for the pounding they will get when my copy arrives :D

um...eeek

love dragonforce.

You know whats really scarey if you havent seen that before, but they didnt even include the solo. so if you think thats hard, wait untill you see the whole thing. :)

So kane, whats the latest? When can i expect my copy to arrive? :P

oh and where did you get your Klipsch's from? saw the note on facebook :P I've wanted to get some of them but had to import them which would make it rediculously expencive.

they lied to me :'( i got the klipsch's from harvey norman, which made them ridiculously expensive anyway :)

wow harvey norman...they must be getting more mainstream, woohoo!

haha you got swindled, oh well, only another week to go anyway :)

only ended up getting a 5.1 setup. couldn't for the life of me figure out where i was going to put the extra two speakers :)

7.1 is a bit too much anyway don't you think? As long as your rears are good and loud it would be a similar effect...better off spending more on your reciever/amp.

anyway, put up some pics and stuff, sounds nice :)

got the onkyo tx-sr605 receiver, full hdmi switching/decoding. mmm.

Got mine on pre-order... w00t! wireless guitar! no more ripping cord outta the 360 for those 'jump off the lounge' moments :D

Pre-ordered mine yesterday too, 7th november :(

god dammit im itching for this game, so many awesome songs i want to play. still undecided on wether to play it on hard and just finish it, or play it on expert for a bit of a challenge, but there are 70 songs :( so it'll take ages on hard then i will have to do them all again on expert...but no doubt in the world One will be the Freebird, so it'll be last. and i want to play it.

man i could pick up the stupid game today, but for some unexplainable reason THEIR BUNDLES HAVENT ARRIVED YET argh. i want wireless.

Quote:
47. One (by Metallica)

MUST HAVE NOW!!!!!

you will see me at EB tomorrow thats a proven FACT!

.. it's not proven until tomorrow ;P

it better ****ing be there. or i will go postal.

picked it up for xbox360 this morning. apparently there are issues with the ps3 version, otherwise i would have got that one.

apparently, stock only arrived this morning as well, i had to wait for them to unpack friggen boxes. ugh.

What issues? incombatability or old guitars or something?

GameSpy noted numerous technical issues with the PlayStation 3 version, noting controller issues ("...[the included USB dongle] functions on 2.4 Ghz wireless, rather than the console's built-in Bluetooth. You won't be able to use the PlayStation button to turn on your console; instead, you'll either use a Sixaxis or physically turn it on... Just like the Sixaxis, the Les Pauls will power down after a period of disuse") and the online matchmaking ("Online multiplayer for PS3 is fairly incompetent in presentation... As of the time we're reviewing this, the PS3 Quick Match option is completely broken.")[35]

(from wikipedia)

meh, can work around that, nothing to important.

It arrived and im stuck already.
2nd tier boss battle on hard :(

Mediums too ****en easy, i can get 3-4 stars on Hard, but the boss battle is ****en killing me. Turned it off out of frustration.

The guitar is way better than GH1+2.
The buttons are closer together and they're smoother to press.

wuss, its a boss for a reason fag :P

**** you you jobless **** for playing it already.

Yeah but it's not a hard boss, its like an Ultra boss.
If i can pass the songs on Hard and get nowhere near the boss on the same setting, then I cant play the rest of hte music on Hard. Doesn't make sense :/

Jealous :p

Quote from paladin;328521:

yeah i know i'm itching to play it.

lenko is weaksauce. i just ripped tom morellos face off (first attempt) and five starred his encore (on hard)

yeah, but he didn't play it much to be fair, didnt make the time to learn expert, so he is doing ok for hard :P

i wanna play it :(

i just had a go at the first two tiers during lunch. obviously passed them :P 1 x 3 stars, couple of 5 and the rest 4 i think. loving the new guitar, so much better than the old.

yeah, i heard the new hammer ons and pull offs are stupidly easy?

they're a lot easier yes. although, i'm finding them harder to actually spot on the screen than they were.

Dragonforce gave me Arthritis :(

**** man, i can't even do through the fire and the flames on hard, let alone expert, that song is ****ing retarded.

man this game is so awesome, can't wait to get to all the good songs in the lower tiers :D

finished up to the final tier, failed the first song on it and went to bed (first song i failed, sigh)

its actually pretty hard on expert, mostly because our green button seems ****ed, it doesnt recognise me pushing it sometimes, and the boss battles have been pretty hard. slash was ****ing hard, after i beat him i went on to fail Welcome the jungle, ragequit and went to bed :P

seriously. awesome. game.

tier 7 is horrible. crap music and annoying to play :P except the encore, that was cool.

With all GH games the second last tier is always the hardest or most ****y, like Crossroads or Physcobilly freakout etc.

tired to do one twice, failed :( i keep using the ****ing star power too early because its so sensitive, i like to keep my guitar elevated but i cant anymore :/

heh same. its used almost the instant i get it

oh, tried Raining blood on expert.

lol. just lol.

-

finally beat that ****er lou on hard. stupid random crap.

I wonder how long until everyone realises they are just playing DDR on a guitar instead of a dance mat.

except without looking like as much of a retard.

guitar hero >>>>>>>>>>>>> DDR

who cares DDR and guitar hero are awesome :D

yer half right.

Looking like an idiot is one of the reasons WHY DDR is cool :p

Does anybody here have DDR metal mat besides me?

Quote from Chycophy;330683:

No but Im looking around for one if you have you'd like to recommend - I really like the arcade ones feel...not a big fan of the thing flat ones.

you all hate ddr because you're all white boys :D

asian power!!!

Quiet Im white and dont suck at it :p

i hate DDR because the music is homosexual and it really doesnt look like you're actually dancing.

it looks like you're jumping up and down. which is stupid.

Playing an awesome song by metallica on a guitar that takes some serious practice (well the song one doesnt but anyway) does definately NOT equal jumping around like girls listening to HAPPYFUNPANDADANCE music.

But i give up on passing GH3 on expert. Raining blood and cliffs of dover are just too ****ing hard. like, stupidly difficult.

and forget ever passing the intro in Dragonforce.
