Instruments
-There will be a new guitar, bass, microphone, and drum kit
-Guitars are no longer licensed by Gibson and are custom made
-The interviewer noticed "clear notes" that may indicate a new guitar mechanic
-Unique bass controller
-USB Microphone
-Drum kit has 3 pads, 2 raised cymbal pads, and a bass pedal. The pads supposedly can detect how hard you hit them.
-There is no word on whether Rock Band instruments will be compatible or vice/versa. However, this seems unlikely because of the non-compatibility issues in GH3 and the fact that the drum set has a different number of pads.
Tracks
-There are supposed to be "more tracks than in any rhythm game ever", and the interviewer mentions "at least 70"
-The Neversoft employee claims all tracks will be masters
-Van Halen, Eagles, Linkin Park, and Sublime are confirmed to have tracks in the game.
-Dream Theater is mentioned, but not confirmed to have a song.
Character/Instrument Creator
-Have the ability to create rockers, instruments, and logos, much like in Tony Hawk
-The classic GH characters are also available
Career Mode
-There will be a world-tour style career mode where you choose a location and tracks you want to play at that venue, similar to Rock Band
-Unlike Rock Band, the interviewee claimed that you will "never be playing the same tracks over and over"
-There are separate career modes for at least guitar, bass, and drum (possibly vocals)
-The drum tour will add "drum solo" sections where the camera zooms in on a drummer and allows a freestyle solo
Music Creator
-Jam Over mode - you can go into an on-disc song and remix the sounds with a free form jam, much like in Amplitude. This mode will not include vocals.
-After creating the remix, you can return to normal play mode and play the new note chart.
-Advanced Studio mode - a program, said to be like Apple's Garage Band, that will allow you to create your own music tracks, along with note charts for them
-Has an editor for guitar which can reportedly do electric or acoustic notes with a variety of sound effects, one for drums that has a normal drum kit along with Latin percussion instruments, and a keyboard editor that you can use to replace vocal tracks (which are not supported, for copyright and data storage issues)
-Each person will be allowed to upload 5 tracks, and if you receive positive reviews, you may be able to up load 10 or more
EDIT: Some additions, thanks to SpacemanHardy
-The new "Easy Rhythm" mode for kids and newbies, where instead of having to push in frets, you simply strum along to the wide bars that are normally used for the bass drum.
-The old guitar controllers will still work. However, they say that you might miss out on some of the new play mechanics.
-The boss battles are back, but they've been altered significantly. They are less about attacking and more about playing the song back and forth.
-Their will be more special guest (real artists), but no one has been announced.
-Every instrument is wireless out of the box.
-Star power for the drums can be activated at any time by crashing both cymbals at once.
-GH3 Battle Mode is still in the game, but it's only for multiplayer and online now
-The wide bars will be used during the bass segments to signify "open string", meaning that you strum without pushing in a fret, adding a new spin to how the bass is played.
Please add any more information found in the article that I missed or comment on the new features.
I get really aggravated at fanboys. I mean, I believe Rock Band to be a better game then GH, but it doesnt mean im not going to play GH if it kicks ass.
Some people will never ever play their favorite games competitor, and take sides like its their friggin kids. As far as im concerned, these music games is my new favortie genre of gaming. More titles = happier CMD. Especially if they keep raising the bar.
Sounds sweet, I wonder how much this will all cost. I have Rockband,and my friggin' guitar broke, I was to lazy to send it in. I know Guitar Hero equipment is much more stable, so I will like this one, plus it will probably have more bands I like.
