Will You Buy Guitar Revolution when it's released in US

Hm... I read some where Konami going to have Guitar Revolution for The US, but no date yet.

I'm going to say yes, but it really depends on the song selection, but I'm pretty sure I'll buy it anyway just to support Konami.

Harmonix will try to sue then get fucked over by Konami.

XohshitzTonysBackX · 05-04-2007, 09:38 AM

why would they sue Konami? GH and GR is way different than each other.

This coming from someone who has "stupid 12 year olds" in his sig.

Personally I'll pick it up, although my decision will be really based on the KOC for it and if we get any US licensed songs that are worth playing or haven't been on CS for a long time.

Seeing as I'll have an ASC by then I might even just try getting the game off someone for cheap.

If it comes with Drum Revolution.

As I posted in the other recent thread, Harmonix would not sue Konami. They have said in interviews that Guitar Hero is based on GF.

IGN: Rocking on with Guitar Hero

"In 2004, we saw rhythm action games that used a peripheral were extremely popular in Japan and we wanted to bring those styles of game to western audiences. The only problem was that many of these games were specifically targeted toward the Japanese market and included songs from TV shows or anime - something western gamers just wouldn't understand. So, we wanted to create something that would be successful and popular over here."

Put me in the "not sure" camp for now. This might be worth picking up, especially since there's been no confirmation of a third Masterpiece game (I'd be really surprised if there never is though), but there has to be at least a fair number of songs that I don't already have. And it has to work with my current guitar controller.

I also want it to be as far from Guitar Hero as possible. My absolute #1 beef with GH is its incredibly narrow focus. Guitar is far more than just rock, and it's ridiculous to think otherwise. Not only that, GH only has a tiny subset of rock...where's the soft rock, southern rock, folk rock, hair metal, alternative, big beat, goth, etc.? Guitar Revolution, at heart, should be much like Guitar Freaks, i.e. a lot more varied than the monolithic GH. If it's not, I'm not touching it.

I'll buy it because it's not GH. Then I can smack people with the controller for saying it sucks because it's not GH.

Ah yes, thank you for perpetuating a bad image of the community. It's much appreciated.

Man, will everyone just drop the GR rumors? At this point, they are JUST RUMORS! There is no date, and with the US IIDX GOLD going not so great (from what I here), they have probably dropped it by now.

However, I thought MP Gold wouldn't be released, so what do I know :/

Bad image? At least the GF community doesn't have a minority of 13-year olds/Emos/X-Play staff thinking they can play like Allen Collins because they can BS Free Bird on Easy. (like it is pretty much here.)

*TTRlovesMittens* · 05-06-2007, 12:07 AM

Okay, this topic is starting to turn into a flame war and that's pissing me off, if we don't get back on topic I SWEAR I WILL TURN THIS CAR AROUND AND...

Wait, nevermind. I mean...

Yeah Shape up I don't want any GH fanbase vs GF fanbase nonsense!

Hortence:The Muleface Mod · 05-07-2007, 02:06 PM

Actually this is more of a "Dewgy versus fanboys in general" argument but OK, I'll be good.

That would actually be better than what there is now. The Guitar Freaks fanbase have essentially become assholes and elitists since Guitar Hero, especially when V CS was announced.

I would only buy this if drummania was included, because Guitar Freaks is so limited in gameplay (three buttons) I can't fathom how people enjoy it as much as they do.
