Long story short:
  • Full band set up like Rock Band, Guitar, Bass, Vocal, Drums
  • Character creation/customization inspired by THPS and Tiger Woods.
  • Create-a-song mode and "Freestyle" mode where you can play your own tunes to songs already in the game.
  • Drum controller has 6 buttons, 3 toms, 2 cymbals, and the bass pedal.
  • Activate drum Star Power by hitting both cymbals at once to begin a drum fill.
  • No more licensed guitars, but you can make your own custom guitar now.
  • Your custom character can freely switch between all 4 instruments
  • Full bass career mode
  • Nooby "strum only" Rhythm guitar mode for little kids or old people who want to join in the fun but suck.
  • You can earn cash playing online (Online career mode confirmed?)
  • Van Halen, The Eagles, Linkin Park, and Sublime confirmed on the songlist (and Dream Theater?)
  • Going for a wider variety of music, not mainly sticking to metal like the previous GHs.
  • Every song is a master track, no covers.

Creating your own tracks sounds nice but... I'm not sure if I want to shell out another $180+ for another game package. I doubt the Rock Band peripherals will be compatible with GHIV. And I already have a bunch of shit in my room.

PICK IT UP! beigelaugh.gif The freestyle and creation stuff sounds pretty cool. My computer wasn't able to load the program that let's you do that on Guitar Hero 2, so it'll be cool to give it a try.

Oh snap! New vid on gametrailers. I'm actually pretty psyched about this. Rock Band didn't really grab my attention like this one has.

The drums look good, and "biggest songlist" doesn't really mean anything to me right now, because the big thing NEEDS to be longevity and DLC. Even if it ships with like 70-80 songs, those will wear thin and you want to expand on it regularly.

If they can't at least match or one-up RB's weekly updates, it still can't touch RB content wise. Also the price point is a big deal for me, if they continue to charge the same rate for their GH2 and 3 songs, its still cheaper to buy them on RB.

The magazine said they're really gonna Man up this time on the DLC. Plus I'm assuming the Create a Track will give us plenty of goodies. I'm totally gonna try making Megaman 2 songs. Really though I think GH4 is gonna trump RB in every aspect. Because really they're taking whats already been proven to be successful, tweaking it, and going further by adding what the fans want. You should really read the article again. I had a slow day at work last night so I read it twice, haha.

I already read through it, but I just have my doubts on Neversoft/Activision actually delivering what they promise. They had grandiose plans for the DLC on GH 2 and 3 as well.

But lets just wait and see! I mean if they can pull it off and make a game better than RB then I'm all for it.

If GH4 can bring in a random Mexican dude at your door with a case of corona asking if there's a party going on when you're actually home alone... then yes, yes I will get it. The drum kit does look pretty nice though.

Instead, a random mexican guy will show up at Crush's door with no beer, and upon answering the door, he will simply ask, "Do you speak spanish?" When Crush says no, he'll walk away.

I promise this will happen. Since it happened like 3 times while I lived there.
