++Guitar Hero World Tour unoffical thread++

i will most likely get this and use my RB kit (and ION when it arrives), gotta have my sweet home alabama!!

some stuff looks interesting like the addition of open bass notes (oh god, its going to be like learning off-beat bass kicks for drums again!), but the overall presentation (silly lightning bolts, not a fan of the circular notes, all notes in blue under SP, cluttered fretboard) will keep it from knocking RB1 and eventually RB2, from being my preferred rhythm game.

also i notice for everlong on drums, the GHWT kit maps the hi-hat to the left cymbal which is fair enough but then you need to hit the snare with your left hand which isnt how its done on a real kit, what with the hihat being to the left of the snare.

even though it got mocked when it was done by HMX to chart the hihat to red in songs like that (everlong/rtth/orange crush etc), i can now see it makes perfect sense and feels more natural.

I have this on pre-order.
Its the drums I am interested in. I looked at RB but so many reported issues with the drums, these seem a lot better built.
how can you make that judgement when the GHWT kit isnt even out yet? who knows how good/bad the ghwt drums are in terms of durability, the pedal doesnt look much better to me tbh.

At Leipzig, the Neversoft guys and to keep going and getting more symbals for the demo kit, as they kept breaking. Same with the pedal on a few occasions, make of that what you will.
 
I'm actually glad there's a gap between the US and UK dates for once. It will mean I can read reviews of the drum kit and still have time to change my pre-order if it turns out they suck.

As for open bass notes, I can assure you it will be nothing like learning off-beat bass drum kicks. They're hard to learn because of the way your body is wired up. Where as open notes on a guitar or bass feel very natural from the get go.

i hope you're right on how natural it will be to pick up.

i play expert drums all the time now and can do about 75% of the on-disc songs (grr @ dead on arrival and detroit rock city!) and just about all the DLC i have (shakes fist @ young man blues!) but i'm still having problems with syncing my left hand which i use solely for the red/snare pad and the bass pedal.

so songs like crushcrushcrush, date with the night, hand that feeds are still giving me no end of problems!

i must say that even with sweet home alabama, if my RB kit wasnt compatible, i'd be giving this a miss so they went a long way to get cross compatiblity and for people like me who are on the fence, it'll result in another sale.
 
Hmmm aye looks a bit hard, I'll be using his tactic of saving star power to get through that middle part. If it is as fun as GG&HT to play then I won't mind as that is one of my favourite songs to play across all the plastic guitar games. :p.
 
That'll be 100%'ed in a week. Not by me, but it more than likely will, everything else has so far that has been harder.

Ofcourse it will, TTF&TF has been FC'd twice now - I'm just saying it'll be difficult. Using that swipe board thing is also meant to be pretty tricky (which it wants you to use) - however Ive read that you don't HAVE to use it :p
 
I hope these packs are not 500MSpoints a shot though, I really hope they learn a bit from RB and knock the price of them down a touch.

Having said that i still have my eye on that subby thing. Id be more than happy to pay a subby and downloaded as much content as i want/they release.

:D
