FunkyMonk Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I played the drums for Rock Band yesterday in a store and it was ridiculously fun. I'd get it if it doesn't seem a tad gay, cooler than playing Guitar Hero though I guess. I'd never get a whole virtual band together though, I wouldn't be able to live with myself.I think it comes out in September here , that's shocking.

Turn_It_Up Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I'm getting Rock Band tomorrow I wasn't going to get the full band equipment as it was so much but considering I have two guitars from Guitar Hero and a headset all I needed was a set of drums. I thought why not. Considering I'm going to be moving into a place of my own in less than two weeks it's going to be awesome having such a party game like that.Also, GH4's shameful attempt at just playing catch-up with Harmonix again is quite embarrassing. The create-a-song mode is interesting, though.RTN, pretty sure that the way things ended up, GH guitars not compatible with RB. Originally they were supposed to be supported, but Harmonix later changed mind.Both RB and GH4 will kick ass, so for me much of it will come down to the tracklist comparison once we get more info on GH4's tracks. Without the killer tunes, becomes stale quickly, IMO.Kinda cool that in GH4 you'll be able to pick various stadiums for your gigs, with each stadium having it's own unique setlist and crowd...

Ridin' the Nightrain Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) Nah they are supported. It's the RB guitars don't work with GH because Neversoft are wankers. Edited May 26, 2008 by Ridin' the Nightrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonk Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 By the time Rock Band comes out over here it will only be a few months until the new Guitar Hero, that's really slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jack_the_ripper Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 then your good sir.I will have to apparently dish out the cash for a ps3, since Beyond Good & Evil 2 will be on it (according to rumors) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UseYourAppetite Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 They're making a Beyond Good & Evil 2 for PS3!?!? I may have to pick myself up a PS3 sometime this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jack_the_ripper Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 it's all speculation at this point, but rumor is it'll be coming out for 360 and ps3. It's in pre-production stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNSNROSES513 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 For PS3 owners, I have a couple questions.How long is Uncharted: Drakes Island or what ever it is, and how long is MGS4 going to be? Is Motostorm any good? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jack_the_ripper Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 motorstorm is absolute shit. It's really that simple, I think you have a wii, if your interested in motorstorm, go out and buy excite truck for the wii instead.MGS4 is meant to be I believe a 20+ hour game, although I know nothing of the specifics of this gameand Drake's Fortune is from the looks of it, a 10+ hour game (My times might be completely off though, I'm not really 1 to ask about either of those games.)MGS4 will have 45 min cut scenes though (or so it is rumored), so expect to not do anything for a while.

It doesn't bring anything new to the table, however what it does do, does it like no other. I actually enjoyed Drake's fortune, and is a must buy for all ps3 owners.

I actually enjoyed Drake's fortune, and is a must buy for all ps3 owners.i think it has original AI, i thought it was excellent that they would try to flank you and they would actually try to dodge your bullets. in most other games the enmy just bobs up and down behind cover and it's not challenging at all to aim. it also looks very stunning which helps. too bad it's only 8 hours MGS4 was rumoured to be 25+ hours and i've even heard that the final cut scene is 90 mins!? either way it'll be great. it's filled up a whole blu ray, and the rumours about them using uncompressed audio just to fill a blu ray turned out to be faulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonk Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 90 minutes? That's ridiculous. I would laugh so hard if someone accidently skipped it about 80 minutes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridin' the Nightrain Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 They're not 90 mins. That rumour got squashed.Past MGS games has had 30/40 min cutscenes and it's apparently the same here. I would be okay with 90 minute cutscenes though since the story is by far the best thing about the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I want to play a game, not watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonk Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) I don't think MGS would be my kind of game. By what people say they sound, dare I say, boring? Edited May 27, 2008 by FunkyMonk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridin' the Nightrain Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Lots of people find it boring but I find it fascinating. The story of MGS2 was just ridiculously amazing. I loved the philosophical and post-modern themes so much. Kojima totally fucked with everybody and by the end you felt just as Raiden did. Masterful.
