Slingerland Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Click the image for more pictures and the story. So...is this like...accordion hero or something? I cannot fathom how I would play with such a peripheral. What are your thoughts on this latest development? (Brad does not play GH ever, but saw this monstrosity of a peripheral and thought it'd be cool to discuss.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ila Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Its a rather neat idea. And actually serves as a natural extension to the "book" way of holding a DS. From the videos though, it appears your neck will be at a weird angle when playing this. Still I might pick it up anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesker Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I've played GH on the iPhone. I imagine it will be very similar only with that side attachment for some unknown reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I don't know what I hate most: A) The fact that this game might not be lefty friendly for me The stupid guitar duels. Blow into the mic to put your flames out! Sign autographs to get fans out of the way! It's 2006 all over again, and I'm blowing into my mic to make Diddy start his fucking hovercraft. INNOVASHUN! C) The guitar pick stylus. Oh wow it's like playing a guitar, except there are no strings and I'm just rubbing this plastic thing against a scratchy surface. D) The actors in the goddamn trailer. Goddamnit. The only way this can be sillier is if they actually include a whammy bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligar Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Wait wait wait... I'm right handed =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ila Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I'm sure there will be a left handed mode. Only grievance being the colors will be reversed finger wise. Don't get me wrong, putting guitar hero on the DS is a stupid idea, but at least an effort is being put into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I doubt they'd go through the trouble of remapping all the songs. I've already been betrayed once by No More Heroes' lack of Lefty support </3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khorney Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 grow some balls, play right handed like a real man. but seriously, isn't the whole point of guitar hero supposed to be it's simulating playing a real guitar? how is that supposed to be playing a guitar in any shape or form? they might as well made a rythym game using the touch screen, rather than going through all the trouble of making a pointless peripheral and slapping 'guitar hero' on it and making loads of money of dribbling idoits who think it's a great idea. oh wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron C-T Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 They should've made Turntablist Hero. You scratch across to round objects on screen to songs by Linkin Park, the Beastie Boys and countless others. Four Shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pheonix Gamma Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I bet you don't even drive, Sereph. Also, I can drive stick shifts. Suck it. EDIT: I just realized On Tour is lacking a button. GHDS=Normal Mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Thing about the "most lefties can't drive stick" is that don't they have plenty of stick on places where they drive on the left side of the road? Sure it'd take a while for me to get used to the left-hand, but I think I could do it. Also, I cannot envision how to play this thing even holding the DS in my hands right now.

shadowgoten Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 This is actually a really neat idea rather than going with a "mini guitar" peripheral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shadix Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 or just flatout making it touchscreen guitar hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Just give me a giant guitar and a slot to plug in my DS. I'll look like a fucking goon, and I'll totally play it on the bus infront of all my peers. Even if it's unplayable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khorney Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 there's no way to justifiy this other than a shameless cash cow, in fact, i'm more suprised the went to the effort of producing a peripheral for it, but kudos to them in that respect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kain Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Sure a DS version would probably not sell well if Guitar Hero was not popular, but that only means something bad if it turns out this sucks (but sells well). So we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxSonic Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Saw the trailer and read the article on IGN. I'll have to read some reviews first, but I think this game has some potential. As for the trailer, I would have hated it if it weren't for the fact that I wanted to fuck the shit out of that girl. Blowing into the mic sounds very gimmicky to me. I'll be watching this one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
