2112 full album on GH6

[drihscol]

Well, it happened.
2112, the whole album, is on gh6.
I find this depressing.
Rush has sided with Craptavision.

2112 is on RB3 aswell (last i heard)

But full album on GH6, sh!t, that's better then that gosh darn Oasis album

....


It's bittersweet.



To be honest, I think they could've chosen a better album. I mean, Tears is really only going to be fun for the vocalist, and, well I don't think it would be as fun as say, Hemispheres, or even Signals. Signals would be amazing.

Wait, links, where's your source.

[amak11]

i thought RB3 was getting 2112 aswell if i recall right

[aander91]

Need sources guys.

Thar ya go aander

There's something really wrong about this.


I hate how Guitar Hero seems to think that music is about fighting or some shet. Warriors of Rock? Guitar Hero is turning into Brutal Legend, and if I ever heard a Rush song in Brutal Legend, I'd think it was broken.

Gaaah, it's always hard to believe that Geddy can sing like that. ;_;

[vedicardi]

why would it be hard to believe a man has a high vocal range lol

I hate how Guitar Hero seems to think that music is about fighting or some shet.

I don't believe they actually "think" that, I believe they just wanted to make a fantasy version of rock. Terms like "axe", "shredding", "guitar duels", etc. add to this type of idea for a story.Both Guitar Hero and Rock Band have been just been like "play this through setlist", GH6 wants to make a "play through this story" type of game to add some depth to it(I personally don't blame them for wanting to try something new).

I like that their in-game songs are so good, buying a game that I have to buy DLC for to actually enjoy is kind of a turn off to me(not that I don't like RB). I would definitely get this if it wasn't for bad charting.

Last I heard it was just the 20 minute full song of 2112 with Alex narrating the last bit of the strange storyline thing GH6 will have. That said, I am glad Guitar Hero is actually differentiating itself from Rock Band in some way...

I do recall an interview with Geddy that asked about the whole thing. If I'm not mistaken he had said something to the effect of, "Oh, you mean Rock Band, the one with the keyboards right, yeah they're getting it too."

Don't quote me, and I don't feel like looking for my source, so stuff it.

Edit: Fine, here you go. RockBandAde article mentioning interview with Geddy Lee. (It also illustrates just how old news this is...)

Double Edit: Yeah, someone here has stuff to back what is being said up, go me.

Kotaku Article from yesterday confirming that 2112 will be on GH6, but nothing about a full album.

Get your crap together, guys.

Final Edit: Watched your video, Amak, though they do toss around the word "album" while discussing the story, the guy specifically said "playing 20-25 minutes of Rush." So my money is on all previous indications being correct, and it just being the full song.

Furthermore, as an avid Rush fan myself, the album of 2112 doesn't have much beyond the song that would excite me. Though the story seems like it should be a video game in and of itself, ha ha.

Still, I am hoping the previous rumour is true as well, and 2112 winds up on Rock Band too. Lest I have to buy another Guitar Hero game just for one artist... I'm looking at you, Tool, you pretentious ****.

i don't care what anyone says, gh6 is going to be really fun. i'm glad their going back to the gh3 arcade style with ridiculous visuals. sure it's dumb, but activision (obviously) isn't going to top rb3 in terms of simulation, so they might as well make an over the top game with insane songs.

The 2112 custom on scorehero was a pretty legendary custom back in the day, but it got so boring after the Priests of Syrinx or whatever that part is called. They are going to need some really good background stuff if they are going to keep anyone interested in a 20 minute long song that's mostly pretty slow

[SUSAltd]

They could always go to Octavarium. I don't see much Dream Theater on Guitar Hero.

[Lysdestic]

Ah, Octavarium would be fun.

...though the first three minutes would be painful.
