I suppose so. Oh well. It'll be a nice surprise then I guess.

[valius]

There might be a way for me to give a sneak peak without the video capture, since I could upload the MIDI file for the song which contains the notechart.

[deathrazor]

That would be interesting. I wouldn't know how to convert it to a notechart but I'm guessing scorehero would. And don't worry, I wouldn't post the MIDI there. In fact, if you just want to PM me/whoever else is interested, that would be better.

Because fuck scorehero.

[DR. GREGORY HOUSE]

Put me on that list.

[valius]

PMing sounds like a better and safer idea.

So PMing:

[deathrazor]

Interesting.

[Ben Speirs]

Not really excited about Van Halen, but I would like to see Best of You, Stacy's Mom and Double Vision.

..

IN ROCK BAND.

Yeah I'm probably a fan boy, so what :P if this game is still based off the Smash Hits engine then I don't be buying it. I hated that game!

[Ribos]

The VH songs look pretty much as I expected. The other songs, though... none of that makes any sense. I mean, Deep Purple, Queen, Foreigner and Judas Priest I can understand, since they were all around the same time as VH, but... Killswitch Engage? What? Blink 182? Alter Bridge? How are they at all related to Van Halen?

[Heavy Metal Hero]

It honestly looks like Activision is just cockwagging at RB with the other bands in the list.

[valius]

I had no say on the song choice in the game, sorry, guys... Smash Hits, Metallica, and Van Halen are modifications of the GH4 engine... ours is probably better looking and less buggy than any of those games since we had more time.


Our game can be obtained with GH5 for free for a certain time, before the game's true release in December 22 (why then? It's because our marketing dept. is silly :|)

[deathrazor]

I must say, being able to drum Painkiller with proper double-bass will be nice.

[Jinx]

Fuck me, JEW's Pain made it into Van Halen...

Now this means if RB doesn't DLC it first I'll have to consider buying this. I said I'd buy the first game that got that one and now I'll have to eat my words.

words go well with salt and butter
