The rumour I keep hearing is that the next release is going to be a GH2 version 2 kinda thing, with the theme being all 80s songs. Will they cover the whole 80's spectrum with new wave, pop, etc or will it be a mullet-fest with maiden, priest, motley crue, scorpions, ratt, and all the rest?
From red-octane's site, April 9th: "
Guitar Hero 3 for the Playstation 2, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii are currently scheduled for release in the United States in Fall of 2007."
and in an interview with their president , an interesting read: (

"
We are currently working on Guitar Hero III for PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii and I can assure fans that what we are working on for Guitar Hero is taking the series to a whole new level. There will be online play, more downloadable music and features that make the offline multiplayer better."
I cant wait. A torrent site i go to has a guy who is creating his own hack of GH and it looks pretty cool. Here's a preview of his work and potential songs
http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=Vegz0rz I have a hack that I play right now with songs from Metallica, Zepplin, Disturbed...64 songs in all. It's not bad, a rough version, but holds you over till the new ones come out.
I wish I could master the 5th button; i can get through some of the songs but just by the hair of my gonads. Addicting stuff, this stupid game.
