Amazon only seem to have the drums & guitar now but Play still have the lot (Play have always been better than Amazon for games in my experience anyway)<BR/><BR/>I know you don't have a preference, but you haven't played on Hard yet. Personally having played every game in this series extensively, I'm a stickler for the 'feel' and GH3 was way off IMO - too 'gamey' on Hard+ with too wide a timing window to try to compensate for the silly difficulty, and from what I've heard from the hands-on tests GHWT is much the same, which isn't my cup of tea. The hardware looks good, but that's because it's Red Octane making it rather than anything to do with GH. The best experience might be Red Octane hardware plus Harmonix software in the end perhaps (ie just like the GH1 & 2 setup!), but there's at least two more months before we can judge.<BR/><BR/>There's rumours that the UK might get RB2 in October on 360, or that the US version will be region-free; fingers crossed...Sinbadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073860928112652234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15213874.post-54015857933300351782008-09-03T21:29:00.000+01:002008-09-03T21:29:00.000+01:00Really - where did you see this?It's not showing o...Really - where did you see this?<BR/><BR/>It's not showing on Amazon yet...<BR/><BR/>Besides, they've left it too late for me - It seems a tad silly releasing Rock Band in the UK when Rock Band 2 is due to be release in a month in the US.<BR/><BR/>Besides - I'd prefer to wait until Guitar Hero World Tour. and possibly get Rock Band (or Rock Band 2) at a later date to play using Guitar Hero Instruments...<BR/><BR/>I know that you favour Rock Band, but I really don't have much of a preference, and I'm sick of the way that EA/Harmonix have treated the release of the game outside of the US...<BR/><BR/>Plus I get to play it each week at your house :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the head up though...Bazlurganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09624611692282469256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15213874.post-78868925434241315362008-09-03T16:40:00.000+01:002008-09-03T16:40:00.000+01:00Did you see that Rock Band got a release date on P...Did you see that Rock Band got a release date on PS3 (and everything else) now? 12 September.Sinbadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073860928112652234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15213874.post-20361625404157932262008-09-01T13:39:00.000+01:002008-09-01T13:39:00.000+01:00The reasons I didn't like GH3 had nothing to do wi...The reasons I didn't like GH3 had nothing to do with the platform (even though the graphics were worse than the previous games), it was all down to the poorly tuned difficulty curve and 'gamey' rather than musically accurate note charts. And the worst thing was they totally screwed up co-op mode, since you couldn't unlock a ton of songs on Hard until you *both* completed the most stupidly difficult songs on Hard. A total failure of game design that was common across all platforms.<BR/><BR/>It might not bother you so much if you play single player though. The 'wall' on Hard is still there, but it's not quite so annoying on single player. I hardly ever play these games alone though.<BR/><BR/>I can understand it sucking that the PS3 version of RB isn't out yet, but at least it will eventually come out. I could bitch and moan and call Media Molecule bastards for their attitude to the 360 too ;) Some developers just have a favourite platform. All exclusivity sucks, and permanent exclusivity sucks more.<BR/><BR/>I will see what GHWT is like when it comes out but I still don't think Neversoft understand the genre as well as Harmonix based on their track record.Sinbadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073860928112652234noreply@blogger.com
