E3 06: Guitar Hero encore announced

How cool!

GUITAR HERO SEQUEL!!! SWEETNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it would be awesome if they had Rammstein in it.

plz e-mail me KILL57 at jjmoek@comcast.net plz tell me how to use mods

Whohoo, can't wait.

gabrielnhbnyc had a raelly good idea with his pro hero.. nyways why do peopl keep askin whether they have to buy a guitar again..??? it says that the original guitar will work.. and im sure RED will sell the guitar as well though i doubt itll come as a discount package.. maybe they will have guitar hero 1 and two with the guitar at some awesomely low price.. who knows.. now to sit back and hope..

I just bought the first 1 and I think is the most entertaining game I ever played !!! I can't wait for the 2nd game!

need a lot training;)

awesome, i love this game...and the music was great:)

hell yeah that co op sounds badass. hopefully they got some hardcore bands like avenged sevenfold or atreyu!

Yes, definitely can't wait for this one. Still playing the first one alot.

I wish it was on Xbox

why is it on the ps2 not the ps3?

i play bass, an i carnt wait to hit those bass songs, thatll be ace, coz thats all tha was missin from number 1!! ROCK ON!!

I wonder if this game makes you better at guitar? I feel like my finger and rhythm recognition have increased dramatically since I've been playing the "Hard" Difficulty!

that's cool, I can't wait to play it. I just hope there are more character.

this is the greatest thing i

Really hope to see some Lamb of God stuff !! will be awesome!!

As long as it has Blur's "Song 2" I'm good!

I can't wait for this game to come out! With 55+ songs, it is going to be great.

I can't wait for it :D

haha i played the first at my friedns house! and it was sweet even though i sucked!!! so i might get this one

Cant wait to try the bass probly aint nothing like actually playin it tho

There should be a guitar hero PRO. Where real electronic guitarist can plug in REAL electric guitars, and Really play along with the track, and the game scores them how well they did, and let them save their recording to a Hard Drive. But I guess that would be a XBOX 360 guitar Hero.

cannot wait.

Hell yes. Guitar Hero 2! The only downside is that long wait until November when it comes out. Other than that its all good. More heavy metal this time would be good.

the first guitar hero is awesome, and I can't wait the game come out.

The first game DOES have practice mode. Which rocks.

first one was rubbish! WHY ANOTHER ONE!

lets get some iron maiden in there this time

Bearnicity is right that they should make an XBOX version. It should also be online on both XBOX and PS2.

''not to soundlike a jerk, but playing a real guitar is much more fun and you can pick up the ladies, IMO save your money and get a real guitar and practice, this game is a joke, save you money'' ...one had to say it,cant blame you but,i beated bark at the moon at hard and other songs and let me tell you that,afther aving played with guitar hero for a week,(dont play anymore,to busy with my real guitar) my hand moved better on the guitar,guitar hero is like a big warm up and you kinda get a feel like" oh yeah,its kinda the same patern on a real guitar".

An X-Box version would be nice...

The all time best (even though I KNOW for some reason its not in it) would be "play with me" by Extreme (The Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure classical rock song). That had one of the best solos (I learned it the other day on my guitar) and would be a great song to be in this game. Prolly under 'hard mode' or something...

It's time to practice on my stumming again.

Awesome!! I knew they'd make a sequel. It'd be a sin not to. I hope it has Green Day and Weezer on it. And Avenged Sevenfold's Bat County. That song is in dire need of shredding!

I emailed the RedOctane about 2 weeks ago and I asked them to put Steve Vai- For the Love of God and Eric Johnson- Cliffs of Dover. They e-mailed me back and said that those were some kick ass songs and they were going to send my email to the developer. So if you find those songs on there thank me for suggesting them!

hell yea!

it looks so cool.but its got to get a better selection of music.

it looks so cool.but its got to get a better selection of music.

Hey didn't you see the sign? "No Stairway to Heaven" Honestly, I don't care what they put in. There are a lot of songs that I like, but the real win is when they put in songs that interesting guitar solos and parts.

I won't buy it unless if they have *Insert band name here* because I have bad taste in music.

Well i know my opinion on this game means nothing to anybody whatsoever, but i do believe that a game called guitar hero should try to include songs by as many real life guitar heroes as possible, as a gamer who spends 50 hours every week playing various games, i can honestly say that i havent had as much fun playing any other game than this in years But what would make this sequel so much better is if the track listings borrowed heavily from the various air guitar albums that are out cmon harmonix do all the rockers out there a big favour and recreate the classic air guitar anthems we all love, heres a few of my personal favourites in case your out of ideas lol Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits Whole Lotta Rosie - AC DC Im so Afraid - Fleetwood Mac Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd Sweet Child of Mine - Guns n Roses Layla - Derek and the Dominoes Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd Hotel Calafornia - The Eagles Still in Love with You - Thin Lizzy Parisienne Walkways - Gary Moore Surfing with the Alien - Joe Satriani All Right Now - Free Well it could be argued that most of those arent guitar anthems but nevertheless i dont think it could be argued by anyone that they wouldn't have a place on the sequel, but does anyone else have any ideas as to what might or might not have a place on the sequel to such a gem of a game?

YES

There is some more info over at ign.com (in the form of an interview). Operantly there will be a practice mode where you can loop different portions of a song. Of course there is more to the interview but every one should check it out for themselves.

oh, and a virtual mosh pit would be awesome. the better you play, the more metalheads injure themselves. scores on metal songs are based on how many people break bones in the mosh! haha

Maybe they'll put Freebird in it instead of just talking about it... what teases...

RedDragoon I have been playing guitar for 14 years of my life, and i have to say, i would still play guitar hero!!!! It's a fun game. it's not supposed to be some guitar simulation game, just a fun mock up of ddr. It is surprisingly fun!!!!!

november is way, WAY too far away now.

I never knew there was such a demand for fake guitar simulations. I still think the whole rhythm game genre is hokey. But in this day and age anything that's "different" from the standard fare gets it's share of attention (eye toy anyone?). And besides it is good, clean fun...until they add a virtual mosh pit or something.

not to soundlike a jerk, but playing a real guitar is much more fun and you can pick up the ladies, IMO save your money and get a real guitar and practice, this game is a joke, save you money
