[SmiteOfHand]

I've pretty well adjusted to Upper Hand at this point. Have climbed back up to 1500+ scores on pretty much every track. The only struggle I am still having is pulling off the tight rolling sweeps (L-M-R -> L-M-R -> L-M-R) or vice versa. Not sure what exactly it is as I don't recall having much issues back in the day and have no problem with it on plastic guitars.

My best guess at the moment is the guitar games are a little more forgiving about 'hammer-on/pull-off" and I just can't seem to get that same tactile feel on the controller.

Do any Amplitude wizards know for absolute sure what the rules are around this, like do you have to press and completely depress the previous button in a tight situation like that or will it forgive a tiny bit of overlap?

[Collateral22]

How much will this be €20? Also, anyone know what way the controls work? Similar to Rock Band Blitz?

 

[KalBalboa]

Just got my backer download code via email. Didn't work.

Maybe it won't be good until the store updates later?

Got it, worked, downloading!

Edit: got the SCEE code, redeemed via web store.

Same here. Do you have an European account?

 

[Withnail]

Didn't receive an email yet but just got my code from my backerkit page and successfully redeemed it.

Edit: SCEE code

 

[Bananastand]

Same here. Do you have an European account?

Same here. European as well. I have a US account laying around but I rather use my main one...

EDIT: Tried it with my US account, didn't work there either..

 

[Shin Kojima]

Anyone know when the European store generally updates? I really need to play this asap, sad I didn't back it.

 

[KalBalboa]

Same here. Do you have an European account?

No, NA.

 

[Spiegel]

Also got my code (EU). It doesn't work.

 

[Canis lupus]

Received code as well, didn't work.

EU here.

 

[jurec84]

I have mine under Download list:

[Triggerhappytel]

I've redeemed mine on the webstore and it seemed to work fine. I'll download the full game tonight, and once I've finished the last couple of chapters in the Uncharted Collection I'll give it a whirl.

 

[RandomTiger]

Worked for me (UK), I used the web store and have it listed as a game I own now.

For those who have trouble redeeming the code. This is from the project FAQ on Backerkit:

My codes aren’t working/I am receiving an error when I try to redeem my codes. How can I fix that?

If your codes aren’t working please follow these instructions:

Firstly, please check your PSN Transaction History! It is possible an error showed up, but the code was successfully added to your account.

If you are receiving an error code, it is likely Sony’s fraud protection system has temporarily locked you out from redeeming codes. Please wait a little while and try again later.

If you are receiving a message telling you that your code has already been redeemed, again, check your transaction history to make sure you haven’t already redeemed the code. If you are sure you didn’t redeem the code you are trying to redeem, please message us on Kickstarter and we’ll sort it out with you!

You can check your PSN Transaction History here: https://account.sonyentertainmentne...s/history-list.action?displayNavigation=false

 

[KalBalboa]

I'll give it a day and hope there's some easy solution. I'll check my transactions in a moment.

 

[Spiegel]

Mine says invalid code on both the webstore and the PS4 store, and it's not on my transactions list.

 

[Famassu]

SCEE codes are only redeemable with an UK account. My pre-release code complained that it was already redeemed or something when I tried with my real Finnish account, but when I created an UK account (just took some castle's address, lulz) I got it just fine. Harmonix and/or Sony screwed up badly when creating the SCEE codes. Instead of creating universal European codes that work no matter where in Europe you are, they seem to have created UK only codes.

 

[CackleAndHide]

Just got my code for PS4 in UK. Worked and is downloading. Maybe a mainland Europe issue? I was a $15 tier.

Edit: yep seems to be an issue outside of UK

 

[KalBalboa]

I'm in the US... hope I can redeem this code somehow and not make a UK account.

 

[LiK]

Looks like I got a Euro code.

 

[KurowaSan]

[LiK]

My email reads:



Looks like I got a Euro code.

must be a mistake cuz I got a SCEA one. you should totally email them.

 

[Sethista]

backed it , waiting for the email,

 

[muteki]

In US and got my SCEA code. Lets me redeem the code on web store but can't download to PS4 yet.

Complete bullshit, they have acknowledged they have an issue with EU codes, specifically anyone that isn't from the UK.

Given the issue was reported with the early backers and they haven't resolved that yet with Sony, they should have known the wider backer release for EU would have the same problem.

Anyone that has redeemed the code successfully would have done so via a US or UK accountt only.

 

[Anoregon]

Got my email and redeemed the code at work, pretty pumped to check this out tonight!

edit: I just noticed the email said SCEA but I'm in the US and the code worked just fine. Or wait, the A in SCEA means America, so that's what I was supposed to get. I'm dumb.

 

[KalBalboa]

Lame. Contacted Backerkit and replied directly to the email I received with the SCEE code.

If anyone else got a SCEE code when they should've received an American one let me know how things go for you.

Yeah, SCEA covers the American PSN. That makes sense. I got SCEE by some accident.

 

[BoZZ0]

Fun times with SCEE vs. music games ahead!

 

[vgamer1]

Got everything downloaded and running here in the US. Code worked perfectly. Gonna hop in now!

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Cool, came in here to see if the BackKit email/code I received over night would work. Looks like we're off to the races!

 

[Liamc723]

Oh great, here we go...

 

[VAD]

Redeemed the EU code just fine via the psn website but it doesn't appear in my download list.

 

[FaintDeftone]

I received my NA code this morning and it redeemed just fine using the Playstation app on my iPhone. Can't wait to check it out tonight.

 

[oggob]

Redeemed the EU code just fine via the psn website but it doesn't appear in my download list.

If you are looking for the PS3 version, then it's not available until a short time after the PS4 version... See Backer Update 35, from August 1st

Okay that's cool. I dunno, I just assume the worst regarding SCEE and music games by now.

 

[oggob]

I can see it on the webstore now... AU...

Sigh... if only my backer code worked though... I could just buy it to end the fucking around though.

 

[Planet]

My backer code worked even when it was not yet searchable in store, already downloaded at home, German account.

 

[Bananastand]

So no Amplitude for me today

 

[OneTwoTee]

Haven't had the email yet and I can't get on to my backerkit survey page. Excited to try the game having not played the original.

Yeah, about that, the message just changed to January 6th as the date. So tomorrow.
No biggie, but :-(

 

[Cheat Code]

Guitar Hero Live went pretty smoothly.

Because SCEE weren't fucking involved at all. I am completely behind SCEE having something against music games.
