Guitar Hero borked by new developer, all hopes turn to Rock Band
Today Joystiq linked to a video of Guitar Hero 3 and it's hardly impressive.
In contrast to Joystiq's view of the game, I see nothing new in this. The visual cues were still present in previous versions of the game and the old interface looked to fit together more than the new one Neversoft put in. What's shocking in the story though is that Neversoft didn't have any of Harmonix's code to work with, so the game has been developed from scratch. This may mean note detection may be on par with Guitar Hero 1 instead of 2, if this video shows any sign of how the final game will play. What's most disappointing about the video is that note placement looks pretty uninspired when compared with both of the guitar hero games, looking more like something made by a fan for Frets on Fire than a game developed by professionals.
Let's hope it turns out well.
