Guitar Hero III Info and Wireless Guitar pictures !

[nufan]

Hey guys, I know there is at least a couple of Guitar Hero fans out there so figured I'd share the hands on IGN preview of Guitar Hero III

IGN: Guitar Hero III Preview

Also check out a more detailed review with pics included of the upcoming WIRELESS (yes!) 360 guitar controller.

IGN: Guitar Hero Les Paul Controller Impressions

Great news is that the Wireless GH3 controller will be compatible with GH2, and the existing GH2 controller will be compatible with GH3. So for the people like me that bought the GH2 bundle already we can use that with GH3 for multi player rocking.

I guess the price is the next big question, with MS letting them use the wireless technology im sure the price will be boosted.

Can't wait for a release date and more song announcements, this is shaping up to be a pretty sweet title !!! Apparently more song announcements are not far off and could be as soon as tomorrow

Also here are a couple of YouTube video's showing GHIII game play. These were apparently originally part of the IGN article however the game makers requested they be taken down since they got some negative feedback from it not looking as polished as it could. However they said that obviously the game is still being developed so these are not final videos by any means. You can see some of the changes to things like star power meter etc. in the videos.

The guitar looks awesome. I'm just glad that they DIDN'T change the button scheme. I still want to use my Explorer. Now I want to see a little more customization for the characters!

What are those black things covering the GRYBO keys? It kind of looks like grip tape or velcro. I don't know...

don't think that anything is covering them. They have just gone back to the original look of having most of the keys black, with just the outline the colour. This is to make the guitar look like less of a toy apparently.

this is guitar hero 3, guitar hero 2 is the title that is currently out.

There is no official release date for GH3, it is scheduled for the fall of this year at this stage.

UPDATE: Two new songs announced today that are going to be on GH3, nothing too exciting though the Pearl Jam song should be good.
