Kai Huang holds forth on GHIV

Why Aerosmith? Out of all the bands out there, why the hell Aerosmith?

Iron Maiden or Metallica or Led Zeppelin would be infinite times better than this game.

I'm with Hivestar. More metal would be fantastic. Or a wish come true would be Guitar Hero: Iron Maiden.

I personally think this is a waste. They should just make a Guitar Hero: Classic Rock and have Aerosmith featured in it. Of course Id rather see an all metal Guitar Hero.

thanks redoctane. now its 100% clear this is just gh3 with all aerosmith.

"but we're not ready to announce any new peripherals." Erm...I think you just did, mate.

Well i know im getting this. Im not a Aerosmith there ok but im a hardcore GH fan.

For me, this will a "rent first, then see" type of game. It all depends on the bands that they also include in the "inspiration and friends of Aerosmith" category. And for everyone talking about the rock band and GHIII, i think rock band is majorly boring. Guitar hero III wasnt stale after playing rock band, it was better than before. and hopefully GHIV will have some kick ass songs on it to make the series better. as for the "band dedicated" series, i've been saying this for years, AC/DC, Rage Against the Machine, Metallica, Blue Oyster Cult, etc. WE NEED TO SEE MORE OF THOSE BANDS [yeah, all but AC/DC have aired in the GH series, but they've been the songs too easy for anyone to play a lot, or those songs that just piss you off]. Or how bout a guitarist dedicated game? Slash/Tom Morello/etc. Guitarist who have been in multiple bands and have shined through no matter what.

Not much chance of me buying this. I love Aerosmith, but this idea seems rather.....dumb.

Guitar Hero Nirvana. Yeah I know Kurt is dead but theres enough sound-a-likes to fill the gap and i'm sure Courtney needs the money. They also need to cut back on the charges to download song packs or increase the content. 4.50 sterling for 3 songs, sounds good when i'm drunk but sucks when i'm sober. We pay for the game give us more free content. I got GH 2 for another 70+ songs because I didnt want to pay to download. More Pearl Jam, some Alice in Chains, More Tenacios D, More rocking songs with kick ass sound-a-likes if you can't get the orignals

jakob_187, i was just giving examples

I would love some rock band, if the bloody equipment didn't disintegrate in my hands when I played

A Metallica version would suck majorly, and One is probably the most boring song of GHIII IMO.... Areosmith would do better as a band dedicated to the game. I may not buy it, but I think it would outsell a Metallica version by far. Personally I want more DLC, a new batch of Les Paul's with distinct springy buttons and a (functional) non-detachable neck before any new game. Thanks.

" You obviously must not be very good at it to like it more than GH3." I'm in the top 4% on the GH2 leaderboards and I like Rock Band better. GH3 just feels wrong. Like many people said, they artificially raised the difficulty by adding notes. It also feels stale after playing Rock Band. I guess all the reviewers must no be very good at it either, since I haven't seen anywhere rate GH3 higher than Rock Band. GH3 is rated even lower than GH1 and 2. If it's too multiplayer geared for your taste, you obviously must not have any friends. No offense btw :)

Yeah, I believe more "genre" based GH sequels is the way to go, not dedicated to one artist (although if they ever made Guitar Hero: Dream Theater I might be singing a different tune :) lol) Having one band-and a handful other soundalikes-seems to narrow, no matter how "expanding" the band is/was.......I still wanna hear different vocalists, different guitars, etc. And hey, if they ever made a GH:Metal, Neversoft MIGHT be able to get away with putting the hardest Linkin Park song in the first tier lol

... Aerosmith GH; that sound a little g@y for me. Why not making a guitar hero: Punk, or Metal or something like that.

As long as they don't screw up GHIV, I'm good.

Its maybe that Aerosmith needs some publicity and they saw a great way to get to the kids and the videogames. I think that GH creators really didnt think about make a new guitar hero just abour them... its all about MARKETING and PUBLICITY... thats crap... WE PRAY FOR A GH: METAL! C'Mon its time to hear the FANS!! C'MON!!

GH Metallica would be sweet.

guitar hero rage against the machine and guitar hero red hot chili peppers would be awesome.

I love Aerosmith so I'll pick this one up. And for people that don't like it, just wait for the real GH:IV. And I think that if they added monkeyd_93's idea it would be really cool.

Even if the Guitar Hero people DO bring, Drum Hero, Mic Hero and Guitar Hero, wouldn't that just be ripping off Rock Band? The game Guitar Hero WANTED to be... why? you ask... 3 words: Full Album Downloads.

this game is going to be a huge loss for activision. Way to screw up another good franchise.

Aerosmith is good, but Metallica would have better rips.

GH: Metallica or GH: Sum 41 would both make me want to rip anything sonically knowledgeable straight out of my body.

maybe making gh:metallica or gh:sum 41 or they could change career mode, so its like a real career. play good= harder songs, better venues etc. play bad= easier songs, mediocre venues, easier boses etc. so that talent and skill gives you your own pathway instead following the set one

yes right fright, so true but since i love this game so much, i don't care what songs are by who just as long as they have a strenuos solo!

Ok i wouldn't mind 4 more boss battels as long as there not hard songs "TDWDTG", but i think the aerosimth idea is kinda dumb and good at same time but im going 2 play it for 1 reason achievements and gamerpoints for xbox live,i wouldnt buy it at all no matter wat but i'll still rent it.

Please no more crappy boss battles!!!!

Or... Rock Band?

Guitar Hero: Offspring Guitar Hero: System of a Down Guitar Hero: Rage Against the Machine Guitar Hero: Nirvana

"Whether that's through downloadable content" Which Wii still doesn't have...

im sick of GH

I love Aerosmith, this new game is going to rock

i agree with club-samich....they coudl sell a lot more if they focused on a specific genre of games. Aerosmith is awesome and all, they play their music EVERYWHERE, and ive been hearing it almost my entire life. It would be even better if they jsut had a GH site with thousands of songs, you order yrou game with a minimum of 50 songs, with 20-25 songs from other bands , and its shipped to you officially wrapped and printed.

All they gotta do is make Guitar Hero IV: Rock Hero, make it full band like Rock Band is, but try to differentiate themselves as much as possible from Rock Band, and keep their own style and their own audience and their own set up. Oh, and who else is ****ing psyched at the idea of a DJ Hero game? I am.

they should make genre specific games, not band specific...

Band specific guitar Heros are a really bad idea. I mean, go back to someone's ipod example. No one has just a couple of bands...they put loads of bands. Even if it was my favorite band for Guitar Hero I would get really bored of that. Thats why RockBand is doing so good. I wil (in the future)l be able to play many songs by my favorite band (Weezer), but I wouldn't be able to stand playing songs just by them.

just make band hero and band hero: AC/DC

@Ra-Devil: Been playing REAL guitar for 13 years now. Guitar Hero has been an excellent tool for me to gain better hand-eye coordination, as well as practice on both strum-timing and finger-speed. I still do my regular hour-long "workouts" on my guitar, but GH has really helped improve my playing beyond what it was. I also know a good handful of kids and adults alike that have played Guitar Hero, then they headed down to the pawn shop and picked up a guitar (2 actually went for bass). They aren't GREAT at the thing, but at least they picked one up to find out how it really it. Sure, a thin neck and five buttons isn't the same as the real deal, but GH isn't about hitting 24 frets on 6 strings. It's about getting the speed, the technical aspect, knowing where your fingers are, and what position your fingers should be going into. Besides, in the end, it's just a game. Get over yourself, bro. @Slushy96: Please, not Linkin Park. I think Black Sabbath would be a great one, but Linkin Park? No way. As for AC/DC, why would you want a game where you play the SAME SONG OVER AND OVER? I love them and all...but that's just a bad idea. Let's just pray that they announce Guitar Hero: Van Halen or Guitar Hero: Led Zeppelin....WITHOUT STAIRWAY!

"That's something that we want to do with other bands." So Guitar Hero:Blue Oyster Cult Guitar Hero:Black Sabbath Guitar Hero AC/DC Guitar Hero:Likin Park What i think would be cool for the seris is Keytar Hero lol

Hey Ra-Devil let me tell you that I know a lot of people who play a REAL guitar and Guitar Hero. Now I play a bass but still Guitar Hero helps me a lot when I play it It is like I'm playing my bass and guess what I've gotten better so you can stop it with your OPINIONS because everything you say isn't a FACT.

btkiz,, all of the guitars for the ps2 work for guitar hero 1, 2, 3 and rock band anyways

NO MORE BOSS BATTLES!!! Go back to harder encore songs please, much more fun that way. Boss battles are easily the worst part of GH3.

They shouldn't do band related stuff. Just do Metal edition, Punk edition, Rock Edition Eg.

.....this changes my outlook, completely.

Guitar Hero: Between The Buried And Me edition (you get to play the entire album of Colors, oh how I wish)

You want to deliver what the fans want....you know they've been wanting a guitar that works for guitar hero 1, 2, 3 and rock band since release like they were promised....jackass
