i don't think there's a way of knowing without watching them all and counting. the on-demand portion would just give you access to the entire catalog (i assume), so I'm not sure how you'd figure out how many are on at any given time. i'm sure we'll know very soon if it feels like songs are repeating too often (or not enough)

I have to say...as a Rock Band fanboy, I really like GHL. The guitar button config has made things super challenging as I have to unlearn the note highway back from the original GH1, which I played on Expert. I tried "When You Were Young" by The Killers on Expert in this and man am I going to have to practice. It's super refreshing.
Also loving GHTV with them using actual videos from songs in the background. Super pleased so far with the game.

On my way home! Got my bundle!
Holy shit at all the pre orders!!!! Same guy was there when I picked up my RB4 BiaB.....I was the only one at the store that ordered any bundle for rock band.....guitar hero they had over 50 bundles sold via pre order at Best Buy........BEST BUY!!!!
I honestly think guitar hero is going to have higher sales despite all the legacy talk....can't wait to get home and fail on expert.....wait, that's not a good thing lol!

I picked mine up a few hours ago from Best Buy. The guy said they had already like 20 picked up and close to another 20 waiting for pick up.

There are still people going into that thread new without knowing at all what's going on.
The OP isn't helping, they've done shit all to help clear things up.

GHTV is way radder than I thought it would be.
He posted he wants to get discussions going - LOL
so when they add the 70 new songs to GHTV or how many they said soon, thats basically 70 free dlc songs, as long as you understand that you cant pick and choose them infinitely
my broke ass likes that, I totally understand people that dont like the system tho

Good to know! Weird how no Nintendo site seems to have a review yet.
I like it, my little brothers LOVES it because he can't afford to drop money everytime new songs drop for RB4. So this game is perfect for someone who likes to constantly play new stuff but can't constantly afford to always drop money to pay for it.
I think this is the biggest selling point is that even though you may not have songs forever there should always be new stuff that you will like to play year in and year out.
Hell the premium show with weezer should be badass when that gets added!
Yeah. I don't play on buying anything but I like that I have RB4 and GHL on the side. The latter for which I don't have to buy anything extra ever.
Hopefully they still make enough with the game, so that they keep supporting it though. Because that's important.

Anecdotally there were quite a few preorder waiting to be picked up at best buy. I hope this game does well to ensure the success of ghtv

Im always frustrated people can't understand people like to play things differently. I imagine lots arent even big guitar hero or fans of the genre. Just like yelling about microtransactions
The "live crowd" is actually way radder than I thought it was going to be. It's appropriately cheesy and hokey to make it fun, but it's making me smile instead of cringe.
After GH Live, I can't go back to playing songs with awful looking cartoon characters in the background, anymore. Live crowd, original music video, or bust.

Is there anyway to pick who you play against in ghtv? We could set up gaf sessions

Marketing. A fresh angle and lets be honest most players of gh never had massive dlc libraries and probably pawned their guitars ages ago.

Agreed. Way too hard to tell the difference between HOPOs and Hero Power notes, especially when a given note happens to be both!
Also, chords like this are the goddamn worst:
Barre | Barre | White
Barre | Barre | Black
etc.

And why would I want them?
I feel you on this. I'm actually very confused when it comes to Power On's and Hero Power notes. Is there any difference between the two that I'm not noticing possibly?
Which is really dumb because you don't really bar a power chord gah, first one I saw I was like wtf!

If the choice is between 90 on disc songs and then paid DLC in the future or 42 plus hundreds of free songs via GHTV with the caveat that they are random, I'll gladly take option 2
As a bonus, not picking songs specifically may mean you discover new music

Patiently waiting for Beenox to chart six-button Raining Blood.

I play drop d....it's easier than the plastic lol a lot!
You fucking masochist. I had more problems with Raining Blood on Expert than Through the Fire and Flames, despite there being an Achievement for completing the latter and not the former.

Fucking hell, I don't even know what's going on during Cowboys from Hell on advanced lol.
fuck european console release dates
forgot how awful the stupid 3 day difference is (been mostly playing on PC the last few yaers which for the most part has the same release dates as the US, mostly)

That was the song that made a man out of me in Guitar Hero 1. And then I got to Bark at the Moon...

Does GHTV support two players?
dangerskew
Member
Yup.
yes but both play the same song. as in the same exact chart. its not guitar/base
if I was mostly a decent Hard player on previous Guitar Heroes, what difficulty am I aiming for here? Advanced or lower?

Anthrax is what really drilled in my dislike for rapid bar chords.
If you played on Hard I'd try starting off with the one below Expert.

I played expert and I got to grips with regular during my demo time quite easily. You should be fine with that.

Awesome. Gonna get the two guitar bundle for myself and the gf.
Really thought I'd be supporting Rock Band 4 this gen, but Harmonix made it really hard to get behind their product. Their loss, Guitar Hero's gain:
expert? as in the top one? I highly doubt that from what ive seen in videos
Wish they would of just released the Guitar with just the TV portion of the game for like $80 or something
The "tour" mode looks to be so trash but the TV stuff looks fun.
the tour (its actually called Live) is just the campaign and you basically just do it to unlock the 42 songs on the disc for use in quickplay. most of us will spend most of the time on GHTV
I'll give it a go....because regular is too easy lol
Cheat Code
Member
No I mean I played expert on five buttons.
Regular was fine for me. There was alternating between colours but no crazy stuff. Should be a good starting point.
I know, thats what i mean. Just forget even adding the LIVE portion and focus on the GHTV stuff. If i pick it up im sure i wont even bother with the "campaign"

Fiddled with calibrations for a little while and haven't really hit a sweet spot yet. I think down strumming is cause my guitar to drop notes that I'm otherwise hitting fine when up strumming. I'm really really hoping its just a calibration thing.
dangerskew
Member
Sounds like the same issue I had at first, and I was starting to worry that it was a problem with my guitar too because I had no problem hitting hammer-ons. I found that I had to set my calibration slightly to the right of the "sweet spot" where the cowbell icon and sound happen perfectly in sync. After doing that I started getting 150+ note streaks easily and things felt right.
Hispanicguy

I had that same problem with the down strum.
I tried my best to calibrate and I think I finally found a good spot. I no longer feel that down strum issue. So keep trying to find that sweet spot and things should get better.
Played a little more GHTV. Is it right to assume its:
100 xp for 1st place
90 xp for 2nd
85 xp for 3rd
That's what I've noticed. Currently level 5.
I hate..HATE when I'm asked to hit a white/black together on the same column + another note. Sorry, don't know the correct term. That shit gets me all the time.

Is the guitar console specific or would you be able to use the same controller on both PS3 and PS4?
