spatular Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Every Eric Clapton song would just look wrong. yeah good point, a lot of songs have bends, which this won't support (well i guess it could but i'm pretty sure it won't), maybe that's something for rb4? it's still come a long way from 5 buttons and a strummer!

Jimboxy Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Maybe it senses which string is vibrating and cross references it with which sensors are picking up. Which is something else it would have to take into account, I bend 2,3,4,5 and 6 up and 1 down, where pretty much every one else bends 1,2,3,4 and 5 down and 6 up. I am sure I won't be the only one who does it the other way round, a note bend is a note bend. maybe its just not meant to be Sly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGERMAN Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I've never really understood bending 'notes', I just tend to play stuff then make the noise with my mouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 The guitar was always going to be a toughy, it's an instrument that can be played in loads of ways and the tech won't be able encompass it all. But it will get you on the right track, and with a little research or lessons and you'll soon catch up with the rest of the stuff. I doubt many will walk into RB3 and six months later become a guitarist, but it will do a decent job of setting you on the right path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandsomeDead Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 They seem to be getting more expensive, the drums were about £80 when RB1 hit, how comes it's now £40 dearer with the inclusion of cymbols? I really don't get it. I got the keyboard bundle for ShopTo, they have it for £95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what your actual guitar ability, you'd have to start on Easy to get to grips with tab being thrown at your face like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Looks like notes bend themselves, look at the solo on Crazy Train. Still looks great for people wanting to learn guitar though, the fact that it says the chord name on the side will force you into getting really good at finding the right place without having to look at the fretboard. Might even do wonders for current guitar players spacial awareness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spatular Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 but also a few DLC related ones, which is surprising as I thought that went against Microsoft's rules...? i think the game is getting 1250G, so the extra 250G is being added for DLC retroactively or something, i remember reading that somewhere anyway.

If that is the case for launch, that's pretty cool! Just reading about the RB2 export. 5 tracks on the RB2 disc are being left behind •"Let There Be Rock" by AC/DC •"Any Way You Want It" by Journey •"Battery" by Metallica •"Give It Away" by Red Hot Chili Peppers •"Spoonman" by Soundgarden And on top of that, a couple more from RB1 have been disabled... •"Dani California" by Red Hot Chili Peppers •"Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 The Chili's and Soundgarden ones are the only ones I care about. Wonder if that means Superunknown and some of the recent Chilis albums will be coming to DLC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if that means Superunknown and some of the recent Chilis albums will be coming to DLC? Yep same here (although "Let There Be Rock" was an awesomely epic marathon of a track)... I seriously doubt they'll appear on future DLC though... It's more likely to be the ActiBlizzion effect - I noticed yesterday that Soundgarden have had their new 'Best of' album DLCed up especially for GH WoR...
