Post by: BobFromPikeCreek on July 16, 2008, 03:00:42 PM: It says they're going to compress the 5th pad into a 4 pad track. :lol Activision doing two charts to accommodate Harmonix's instruments.

Post by: cool breeze on July 16, 2008, 03:01:13 PM: Awesome, but I still won't buy it. Now if Rock Band 2 confirms I can use GHWT drums and guitar with it, I will go for that. GHWT drums look amazing.

Agreed, but I already have Rock Band instruments. No more plastic toys for me. I will only buy things that work with what I currently have.

Post by: DJ_Tet on July 16, 2008, 03:03:18 PM: Yep, I was very happy to hear this news. I wonder/hope they will support Rock Band 2 instruments as I still need to add a guitar.

Hopefully it will work both ways, if both companies want to see extended big sales they will support the instruments already out there. If they add new instruments every year or two and take all the old away, people will quickly stop buying.

They should continue making better instruments, but make the instruments so good we want to upgrade, not that we have to.

Maybe Harmonix will return the favor and start making extra charts for the GHWT drums!

Post by: cool breeze on July 16, 2008, 03:06:16 PM: If GHWT stuff work with RB2, I would sell my old rock band drums and only use the superior ones from Red Octane. They even have pressure sensitive pads since some notes give you more points if you hit them harder than normal. That is so cool.

They don't even need to. Have one of the cymbals doing double duty.

But a lot of times the game charts beating down the line of pads and they're all drum notes. The yellow note isn't always charted as a cymbal in Rock Band and since it's a dedicated cymbal on the GHWT drums...

If that guitar can work with RB 1 and 2 I will buy their guitar instead. Please let it happen.

Then you get a slightly gimped experience, but at least it isn't as bad as losing an entire note or forcing a dev to make entire new note track.

It will work

Post by: fistfulofmetal on July 16, 2008, 03:29:28 PM: Fuck I'll just get the RB2 bundle and probably the cymbal expansion when it's released.

Post by: BobFromPikeCreek on July 16, 2008, 04:29:56 PM: I wonder what happens with the drums and song maker. People will most likely be making songs for 5 pads. What happens with Rock Band drums in that situation?

Post by: pilonv1 on July 16, 2008, 07:51:15 PM: so glad i wanted for the 360 version in Australia and didn't import the PS3 one

Post by: cool breeze on July 17, 2008, 10:24:58 PM: Gamespot confirmed that GHWT drums work on Rock Band. They also explain how it goes from 5 to 4 lines if you are using the Rock Band drums. It doesn't really dumb it down too much.
