GHIII coming to PC and Mac - That's right, with a usb guitar!

[Moonflow43]

-are u kidding? DX10 ROFL! GH doesnt have that good graphics
-look @ halo2, LOTS of people hacked it to work with XP

wait, what does that have to do with anything rf said?! O.o

regardless, everything he said was true. whammy could be added if someone had the will and coding skills. just like how the rock meter and everything, instead of complaining and asking for it, someone actually did it...

[SketchMan3]

-isnt that the same thing that you said about rotation? and hering implemented rotation for his rock meter.
-didnt you guys also say that there will never be a rock meter like 6 months ago? hering made one

1-I doubt it. If there is an input device, there will eventually be a way to use it to activate events.
-The only reason anyone said there wouldn't be a rock meter is because nobody wanted to try to program it.

Those two things are in a completely different boat than a whammy effect. Until Python and the game libraries are able to edit sounds in realtime, you won't have a whammy effect. You can have star power and the visual aspect of whammy, but that's it.

I do remember being able to edit sounds in Blender, though, when I was trying to make a platform game years ago. I don't think it was in realtime, though.

I'm going to pirate this and use the keyboard controls....

Regarding the earlier DirectX10 comments...

Companies have been recognizing that there a lot of people that are unhappy with Vista lately. Computer providers, such as Dell (yeah, I know they make cheap parts... I'm using one of their laptops =>_<= ), have stopped forcing Vista on customers and are allowing for XP again.

It's because of the large amount of negative feedback regarding Vista that I think the grand majority of new PC games will be compatible with both DirectX9 and DirectX10 and will remain this way until Vista stops being a piece of garbage. (I used it for a month and wanted to burn every copy of it due to how horrible it was)

In regards to Guitar Hero III being on PC. Just as long as my laptop can handle it I'll be immensely pleased as I would've had to wait a couple months before I could get it otherwise. Since the guitar's USB I can even use it for Frets which makes me even more happy. I don't even own the first two games since all I have are Nintendo consoles... (minus their most recent one), so it'll be nice to finally own an official copy of one of the games.

I'm rather excited about the release date, I've been in need of a new game to tinker with.

Yet another reason why FoF should find some unique things to do.

[Fareday]

I WILL OFFER MY ASS IN ORDER TO GET ONE OF THESE!!!


O_O



I WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT IT!!!!!!!!

[smedricksman24]

It's the 360 guitar...weak sauce

I have the usb reciever for 360 already, so I'll prolly get one of the 360 Les Pauls, or possibly a PS3 one, since those use usb too.

[NickGreen91]

i wonder how soon after its release it will be made into a torrent ???
cause I won't be able to buy it

[Divra]

I just saw that they posted the requirements, here...

[venus_doom]

im not going to be able to play it ive got a crappy geforce 2100ti and a even more crappy 256mb of ram

[skaniol]

... too bad. Even my windows XP SP1 is not enough... I am going to stick with FoF anyway.

[Lone Wolf]

I should at least be able to play it. Hope I can get my hands on an original copy.

[mrbrownstone1990]

i got an xp
2.2 ghz processor
amd athlon 64
1 gb ram
ati radeon x200 graphics card

do you think it would work?

[Valfore]

WOW-WEE!!, i can't run it!! unbelieveable, its a rhythm game ffs! and it requires a 7600 Minimum!, and a Athlon 64 3500+ minimum!, thats insane

[CarpeGuitarrem]

Dang, I can't play it on my notebook. Oh well, that's why I got FoF!
