Rb2 doesn't have auto-calibration??

Yes it does. Hence why I said if GH gets its shit together on that front, I will enjoy the game more than RB.

Like BBG said, GH5 is practically unplayable in any serious manner unless you spend half an hour adjusting your brain to the timing window.

I never played GH5. I can't stand the franchise. I stuck with it until WT but it's just gone downhill to me. I don't think GH has gotten it's shit together. It's CoD now with guitars.

Well with it's star tracking, characters with certain perks, and online metagame...the correlation makes sense. Plus it's published by the same people. You know kotich will do anything he can to make it seem more innovated than it really is if it helps his bottom dollar.

No, but Rock Band 2 is dirt cheap. Around $10 to $15. So it wouldn't be a bad investment, even if Rock Band 3 comes out at the end of the Summer, you still get 90 songs + the ability to download whatever DLC you want.

Thanks. I was looking to get the Conchords DLC :)

So adding stuff to an agreeably flawed franchise that will make people want to play it more than two days is a bad thing?

I don't follow.

Oh okay, well I don't have much to say on WoR. If they tweak some engine stuff I might actually enjoy it quite a bit. It doesn't have much of a chance against RB3(if only because of the already huge library of songs in RB), but it could be pretty good.

Where did I say it was a bad thing? I said it seems to me what they added is purely superficial, but metagaming is superficial by nature. I've already admitted I don't like the GH franchise, but they aren't really doing anything innovative at all with GH6 as far as I can tell. At least with RB3 we know we're getting another instrument. Whether it'll be good or bad is anyone's guess until E3.

que?
 
Well the masses won't forget the name guitar hero, hell, people still call rock band guitar hero. But all these subtitles and shit are getting out of hand. What wrong with guitar hero 6? Once you reach 6 the public must know you're milking it.

I have supernova 1 and 2 the callibration killed it. I have a friend that has metal pads for ps2, he's asian good at the game its crazy, he lost like 40 pounds from playing it so much.
 
Numbers are a bad idea. It makes a product sound generic and by the numbers, and dates the older games. Warriors of Rock isn't a great name, but it's better than 6.
 
It's mainstream appeal? Yes. My point was that there WOULDN'T be a Guitar Hero 32 since I'm sure the franchise will be dead by 7. Unless, of course, they stop caring about the casual and focus on the hardcore audience.

I think they will, which is my point.

Developer Harmonix is already working on Rock Band 3, but we've heard that there's another project in the pipeline.

Recently, word got out that Harmonix plans to use keyboards for Rock Band 3, but we've also heard that the developer has an entirely separate Natal game based entirely around dancing. Whether Harmonix is also working with PlayStation's Move motion controller is unknown. Previously, it's been noted that Harmonix has licensed dance songs that would seem out of place in the Rock Band series, and this new dance title would seem to be the reason why.

Given the saturation of rock-based music games out there, as well as the frightening popularity of Just Dance for the Wii, a dance game from Harmonix is no surprise.

Man, I can only hope that the crazy Bemani fans lose their last shreds of sanity over that piece of news.

I'd be willing to bet that this dance game will be ultra-casual, just like Just Dance.

Statistically, Bemani fans should exist, but I've not actually talked to any in quite a while. I don't think they really care, as they have TONS of Bemani games already.

I think they got bored of whining about DDR being copied what with stuff like Pump It Up EZ2Dancer and In the Groove to name but a few already doing it.

Just a Friend by Biz Markie got added to that Def Jam Karaoke game, music goty confirmed.
