Jake Harper Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 This game is gonna rock,look at this information about the new features: [spoiler=New Features]Guitar Hero 5 allows players to arrange for any combination of instruments, including all four players on the same instrument if they so choose.While playing in a band, Star Power is now tracked separately for each player, as opposed to collectively for the band as in World Tour. Star Power is no longer shared by the band, and instead tracked for each player in a similar manner as Rock Band.A new play mechanic called "Band Moments" will require all members of the band to play sections of a song successfully to gain rewards, both in scoring and visual effects on screen.The Band Revival meter will appear when a player fails out of the song, requiring the other band members to play well as a group together in order to bring the failed player back into the game.Downloadable content from World Tour will be forward-compatible with Guitar Hero 5;the game will incorporate any World Tour downloadable content that the player may have into the various play modes. [spoiler=New Game Modes]Two new game modes have been announced for the game. The first is a "Party Play" mode, which allows players to jump into a band or drop out even in the middle of a song, and switch instruments or difficulty levels while playing. The second feature is a "RockFest" mode, which can be played by four players locally or eight online, with several sub-modes that influence how the game is played and scored. These submodes include:"Momentum": Starting at Medium difficulty, players can increase their difficulty and score more points by hitting twenty consecutive notes, but will fall back in difficulty if they miss three notes in a row. "Streakers": Points are awarded for making "streaks" a series of consecutive notes, with the value further increasing for longer streaks. "Perfectionist": For each section of a song, players are ranked by the percentage of correct notes hit, with the top player getting the most points. "Do or Die": A player is forced to wait out until the next section if they miss three notes in the current section of the song. "Elimination": At certain marked points in a song (roughly every 30 seconds), the lowest scoring player is eliminated. "Pro Face-Off": A standard score attack mode, with the highest score winning. Players are able to create a playlist in Rockfest and assign a different mode to each song.Guitar Hero 5 allows players to start in a Band Lobby from where they can then launch into any of the game's modes, add other local and remote players to a party, and switch between the game modes without having to leave the party or lobby, a significant change in response to the difficulties players found in World Tour. [spoiler=Challenges]An additional feature introduced in Guitar Hero 5 are Challenges, including those tied to specific songs and "open gig" challenges.Each challenge features three possible completion levels—Gold, Platinum, and Diamond, mimicking the music recording sales certification levels—with Diamond being the most difficult to complete. The song-specific challenges, include both instrument-specific challenges, such as correctly vocalizing the repeated "Fame" lyric at the end David Bowie's "Fame" as it moves down in pitch, and more general scoring or performance challenges. Open gig challenges will be randomly presented by sponsors within the game, and will be based on performance aspects such as scoring a certain amount of points using Star Power or using the guitar controller's whammy bar continuously for a length of time. These allow the player to select any song to complete, with some songs potentially being better suited for completing that challenge. The process of these challenges is shown in-game by a record meter that appears when the challenge is active, and fills up similarly to the overall scoring meter as the player successfully completes towards the challenge. Higher completion levels, particularly Diamond, may only be obtained by playing the Expert difficulty of a song, but players can use the mid-song difficulty adjustment feature, and if playing in a band, all players are awarded for completing a challenge if one of the members is able to do so.The rewards of the challenges are used to replace the previous in-game money reward for buying new outfits and characters in previous Guitar Hero games. As noted by Bright, completing songs in Guitar Hero 5 will give players from one to nine stars; up to five stars for general performance, a sixth star for a perfect performance, and up to three more for the challenges. These will be used to unlock new avatars, outfits, and other additional content for the game [spoiler=Soundtrack]"2 Minutes to Midnight" Iron Maiden "20th Century Boy" T.Rex "21st Century Schizoid Man" King Crimson "A-Punk" Vampire Weekend "All Along the Watchtower" Bob Dylan "All the Pretty Faces" The Killers "American Girl" Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers "Back Round" Wolfmother "Bleed American" Jimmy Eat World "Blue Day" Darker My Love "Blue Orchid" The White Stripes "Brianstorm" Arctic Monkeys "Bring the Noise 20XX" Public Enemy featuring Zakk Wylde "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" The Smashing Pumpkins "Cigarettes, Wedding Bands" Band of Horses "Comedown" Bush "Dancing with Myself" Billy Idol "Deadbolt" Thrice "Demon(s)" Darkest Hour "Disconnected" Face to Face "Done With Everything, Die for Nothing" Children of Bodom "Do You Feel Like We Do?"

evilhorus Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Ahh, the words "Too Much". Too Much features can kill a game. Thats what too much means.

Milk-Chan Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'm only excited because it's going to have "Plug-In Baby" by Muse in it. Otherwise, I'm done with GH. Until "GH: The Beatles" or "GH: MUSE" of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAG Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I´ve hear that this one comes with GH Van Halen if you preorder. If so, either Van Halen SUCKS or this is one hell of a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparta™ Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Van Halen will be better than this. Brutal Legend will be better than Van Halen.[/topic] Also, this game lacks Foo Fighters. At least I was told Smells Like Teen Spirit will be in this. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FindingTheEverlight Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 About half of the tracklist sucks, Darkest Hour, blink-182, Sunny Day Real Estate, Brand New, Garbage, and JEW is in it, so that's good. I'm gonna get this anyway, I'm a fan of Giutar Hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 More than half of the soundtrack sucks, and 2 Minutes to Midnight is probably the best song listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombiepromking Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I saw this in game informer and i was excited.....then i saw the track like at first i thinking that it wasn't the full track list....but to m y disappointment it was. They honestly have nothing interesting on the track list sure there are good songs BUT, nothing i personally like to listen to. The track lists for GH3 GH world tour were better GH Mettallica even had a better track list than this. (No, this doesn't mean i don't like metallica, i'm talking about the non-Metallica songs on there.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
