Awesome 'Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock' Feature?!! (GH6 DEMO)

[Selbax13]

Der arme !!!

[michrophonegirl2]

PAUSE AT 0.47!!!! NUMBERS GO BACK AND FORTH!!!!!

[Cheezumz002]

Rb3 has this aswell, I like this feature.

[GuitarFreako46]

This was actually in Guitar Hero: On Tour games. Why they didn't do it for the consoles is beyond me.

[J0hnny0hm]

I thought that GH had struck gold with the timer, and they did. But they struck even more gold when they made this.

[joedamillio]

i'm pretty sure if you pause 3 times in the song, the final score will be disqualified from the leaderboards. still though, it's bullshit, for the same reasons everyone else said

[Romanv12v3]

Man this sucks,if SH starts saying NO PAUSES,FOR YOUR FC TO BE LEGIT,i need to pause,i get nervous if im doing a song really good/going for FC and my hands get sweaty so i need to pause.. =P hope this has a "turn off" feature.

[vampirereconsint]

If the feature is anything like the countdown feature in GH5, I'll probably just turn it off in the menu.

[ZPRN17]

All I want from these people is a GH game where you can multiplayer practice. Like, lead and rhythem (or however you spell it) practicing at the same time? I don't know if that is in this game or what, but it certainly should be.

Full band practice would be epic XD

[mdude2010]

lol just like ghot

[JoarSupurEthics]

It's interesting how it starts you off at a 2x multiplier.

[BobbyDigitalSH]

thats in all of the DS guitar hero games

[LordSwordbreak]

NOT a good chart

[StarDida]

this just let's you to have time to prepare...

[yobodahobo]

would you be able to like hit a note, pause fast, unpause, hit the next note pause etc etc

[darkwater124]

Good to know that they're thinking really hard about how to progress the series.

[springy11rb]

well. pausing in a song and FC'ing it, the FC is STILL legit. it always has been. so i'm not sure how this will cause such an uproar. Also, starting back on a downbeat will suck nuts. :(

[Kris18kool]

Perhaps SH will institute some form of policy/rule against a lot of pausing in videos? Such as it must be a break (like Synth Death)? But then how would we define it in set words, what is allowed or not? :/

I'd hate to see SH say NO PAUSING IN GH6 SCORES... :/

[oddballzfrank]

@Kris18kool well pausing in anyother game is different, this actually lets u get prepared for the notes that are coming, so people could strum the first note of a really hard tap section, pause it, then unpause and be ready to tap instead of the legit way of strumming and going up to tap right away

[Kris18kool]

@oddballzfrank I understand that idea, when I was talking, I was referring to GH6, like I think I cleared up at the end :P Just the idea of not being able to make a definite way to say a part worthy (like Synth Death) is fine to pause at to prevent cheating and having to say no pausing at all, kinda bugs me. Sometimes you need to for other reasons... D:

The idea teases, but I don't like it, and wouldn't use it for cheap FCs. :<

[SurferConky]

Yeah, i reckon videos are gonna be ruined now by pausing :P

[rjbr2000]

Cool. It's like the one from the DS version of Band Hero. I always liked how it was implemented in there and it's cool to see it :)

[DrinkAndDrive]

this can be used to cheat >.<

[tourdeforce17]

Pretty cool feature. Better than the countdown anyway- on GH5 i could barely see the next note behind the countdown which made it a bit pointless.

[Zzzlol94]

lol, that's much better then the countdown timer. you can atleast see when you have to play again. But it can be abused, pause between two parts, or pause before every note on a song and get a FC easy... so that's one small problem, since you don't have to strum the first note after pausing if it's a hammer on?

[supermarble94]

That feature is so retarded... It's the same way on the DS. This is probably going to cause a lot of debate among the GH community, saying now that pausing to FC is going to be not legit... Which I would be on that side...

I don't know... They just shouldn't have implemented that feature...

[PanteraMetalGh]

@supermarble94 LOL GHOT is back :D

[TheM3TaLMeTaLLiCa]

how do you have this game??

[LordyJake]

Yea, I already knew about this feature awhile ago, but it is a pretty cool feature.

[MrLordofrock]

I love that feature it was revealed on the demo about 1-2 months ago

[872andy872]

Dude, it doesnt let you replay notes you missed what it does is gives you time, the first note it comes in on is the first note after you paused it

[oddballzfrank]

@872andy872 lol I know that it doesnt allow that, but a lot of other people seem to be thinking that it does LOL

[Birdman5504]

oh HELL no...

just think...if we had this feature in previous games, so much more people would be able to FC One (pause at the transition) and other songs with hard transitions.

that just won't be fair.

[oddballzfrank]

@Birdman5504 yea the only time i would ever use this would be if i paused on a long hold note

[gamingfreak3]

@Birdman5504 good point.

I'm probably gonna keep this feature turned off when I get the game.

[ratchet1215]

This seems exploitable the way the pause screen in GHOT was. For very intense solos you can just play 2 or 3 notes at a time, quickly pause, go back again...I mean, anyone who actually cares about having fun with the game won't do that, but even so, it seems easy to break.

[MetuMortusPallidus]

Some devs or someone were talking about the pause thing in an interview and they said that it would penalise you if you paused too many times in a song. I don't know how it penalises you though you should try it out.

[Seraphicblood779]

The only real way this would be useful would be tapping sections.

IE: You hit the first strum and pause at the same time, unpause and you'll have time to re-adjust both your hands to the fret buttons, rather than having to quickly move your strumming arm up.

[Davers84]

This is how some of the IDWS FCs happened. GHOT has this feature and some people abused it for harder FCs. I have to admit that I hate the fact that they added this feature into the game.

[094176]

This means one of 2 things.

1: video proof may be required as proof of legit hard song FC's

OR

2: Going back after missing notes will alter the stats screen to show that you did not FC the song on that run without rewinding.

[sadied0g]

@094176 but then what about the people who need to legitimately pause during a tough fc, then those people will get fucked up the butt if the stats screen says CHEATER YOU PAUSED

[oddballzfrank]

@094176 lol if u miss a note, it goes behind the fretboard, once the notes are gone, theyre gone, u cant go back and hit a missed note, it resumes u on the note u paused on, and goes back a couple beats to let u get ready but its all blank up until the note u pause on

[360footballer]

ukog was playing the demo that they have at gamestop.

[jjjmanyo]

Wow, this feature could literally mean anyone who can pause fast could FC the hardest songs just by pausing every 3 notes lol, good feature, but its gonna get abused

[xKluuzx]

@jjjmanyo no it goes back to where you left off, after the last note you played.

[mytownisnotyourtown2]

does anybody know what johnny's power do?

[ThirstyPotato]

this has been in on tour (the ds version) since the start. :3

[CapitolaBoy]

finally. seems like an obvious feature to have. :)

Paul Robinson of Neversoft: You can't pause multiple times in too short of a period of time. If you pause/repause 3 or 4 times in a row (can't remember the exact metric off the top of my head) it will lock you out of leaderboards for that song. However, if you did something like pause, wait 10 seconds, pause, quickly repause, play 20 seconds, pause, etc. it wouldn't lock you out. We're only looking to stop people pausing on every note. :)

[fudrick43]

@CapitolaBoy No one gives a fuck about the leaderboards, that's not what we're concerned about.

[CapitolaBoy]

@fudrick43 Then what is the concern? That people will pause every passage (which would only help with endurance, not speed, then upload it to ScoreHero or something? The picture proof screen will show that your take was flagged as abuse, at least I hope it would.

[fudrick43]

@CapitolaBoy People will pause very frequently in hard passages in order to hit a few notes at a time, allowing anyone to FC any song.

[guitarist2195]

I expect what everyone else expects :P

[marioluigi1994]

Ahhh, people are going to abuse the shit out of this...I expect many to FGFC this, ill probably get a FGFC if u can abuse this like twice in a song, even though that would be kinda unlegit..people should only use this for really hard tapping sections. The timing window is also more strict in this game if anyone hasnt found that out yet.

[fudrick43]

@marioluigi1994 Why should people use this for hard tapping sections? That's stupid. If someone FCd something using this method I wouldn't consider it a legit FC at all, I don't care how hard the tapping is.

[marioluigi1994]

@fudrick43 i said it wouldnt be legit, and i never said that it would be right to use that.

[fudrick43]

@marioluigi1994 I guess I read wrong my bad.

[BassManiac07]

pause thing is stupid

wow

just stupid

[URC0NSC13NC3]

WHERE IS THE DEMO AT :[

[MrYumYum0]

i foresee bullshit fury of the storm fcs

[kingyami3]

i expect fgfc asap

[Gamerboy28]

UKOG's Demo was probably the E3 Demo toymasheen was showing.

[JizzleWright1]

The same thing was in GHOT

[iammaxhailme]

UKOG had a video of Bat Country in the demo, but it doesn't seem to be in this one... did I miss it?

[oddballzfrank]

@iammaxhailme no im pretty sure ukog was playing the real game

[123erlend92]

@oddballzfrank no it was a demo too

[ThatVileBanana]

@oddballzfrank No. Ukog was playing the Disc Demo. Not the downloaded version.

[jjjmanyo]

@oddballzfrank He got a different version of the demo, he got it at gamestop

[iammaxhailme]

@oddballzfrank

it said demo in his description :-\

[vergil114]

If you pause more than 3 times, you don't get credit for playing that song.

[DamiAdeyemi]

so if you miss a note, you can go back behind the missed note unmissed?

[oddballzfrank]

@DamiAdeyemi haha noononono, it gets rid of the previous notes and u start playing the notes that were on the screen when you paused

[eggertstwart]

@oddballzfrank

But on a hard section, couldn't you just hit one note, pause, unpause, hit one note, pause, unpause, etc.?

[OllieS216]

Pretty sweet that this comes out 2 days after my birthday in the Uk!

[Mike65707]

There is penalty for pausing too many times. Your score gets disabled from being saved on your save file and on leaderboards.

[Krazy92]

@Mike65707 Forever? Wtf?...

[Krazy92]

@Mike65707 If it locks you forever then that would be pretty retarded...

[Mike65707]

@Krazy92

Locks you out for that song.

[Krazy92]

@Mike65707 But I mean... does it lock you FOREVER for that song? Or just that time you played it..?

[Mike65707]

@Krazy92

No.  Just that run.

[joeyxExpertHero]

searched it on XBL and couldnt find the demo :(

[oddballzfrank]

@joeyxExpertHero go to game demos, then browse, it should be in the G section, i had trouble finding it too

[tr1ckydr1v3r]

I cannot believe people are complaining about this feature. It's a good feature because pausing and unpausing is frustrating in these games usually (even with that timer in previous GH titles and recent RB games) si this makes it much easier. Not everyone cares about high scores and all that.

And besides, i doubt this will help someone pass the trills on FotS if they dont already have the skill to do it.

[fudrick43]

@tr1ckydr1v3r The only thing people hate about this is that it could be used to get illegitimate FCs. No one would notice or care if someone used it to pass a song, because a million people can do that already.

[EvilApple567]

people are gonna abuse this to FC hard songs I can already tell...

[KillerPanda420420]

inb4 glitches

[TRANFOGOSO]

i suck, so, you can dl it from Xbox now? or whats up

[oddballzfrank]

@TRANFOGOSO yea this is the demo

[kvn89]

i bet u could abuse that feature

[xWikarN]

So I guess this is the end of Scorehero. Since people will abuse this just to say: ''OMFGZ I CAN HAZ FURY OF TEH STORM FCZ!!!'' and never actually telling they used pause/continue one hundred times. How will we know if scores are real or fake? well... this isn't helping at all.

The only thing that can be used as proof now - is to tape the whole run and that's not as easy as just getting a legit proof with a pic saying 100% FC.

Thanks Activision, this time you REALLY blew it.

[jayfatha]

@xWikarN actually you can only use it three times, and it doesnt go back before a note you missed if you miss a note.

[WMGRemovesEverything]

I hope this isn't in the actual game where score applies, then competitive gameplay for this game will be ruined. Anybody can just do it for the ending trills of FoTS. lame.

[punisher1865]

guitar hero on tour has this feature

[jayfatha]

That's pretty cool but you know if you use that in videos people will go

OMG NOT FAIR THATS NOT A REAL FC CHEATER

[mergenbaatar]

is hammer on in this game like gh5 or gh3

[banobi0712]

@mergenbaatar gh5

[davidnumber13]

RB3 has this feature too lol

[SteveMiller88]

But will doing this help you fc a song? Because the multiplier changed after pausing.

[chaveznieves]

i can see people abusing this pause feature. thats some bullshit right there. the point of an FC is that you do it all in one shot, not stopping all the time ande shit

[oddballzfrank]

@chaveznieves yea i see what you mean, but because of this there will be a big difference between a GH6 FC and an fc in any other game, gh6 being less impressive if people are gonna abuse it for stuff like that

[S3bz3r0]

this sucks, cheating will be so easy I could do it for FotS

[paulie21212121]

this feature is what most people were waiting for

[billcosbyspet]

You have to get the Game because if you dont then you Technically wont have a Full Series FC

[oddballzfrank]

@billcosbyspet dont worry im getttin it ;D

[billcosbyspet]

@oddballzfrank Good haha, I think this Game is gonna sell a lot better then GH5 did

[gamerandwatcher2000]

i think people will probably abuse this for awkward transitions, especially in the harder songs.

[Bcore74]

@gamerandwatcher2000 can only do it 3 times

[BDoleSH]

@Bcore74 People will still probably use it to cheat in the hardest parts of songs; who needs to learn that tough transition properly when you can just pause? (just to be perfectly clear that is sarcasm; I am 100% against the use of pause-cheating). I like the "cap" they put on it, but you know people are still going to abuse it...not to the point of playing an entire solo one note at a time due to the cap, but I'm sure people will still use the 3 pauses you get to cheat as much as possible.

[Krazy92]

@BDoleSH I think it would be easier to get a hard transition rather than hitting the pause button with your finger.

[fudrick43]

@Krazy92 Ummm, no? Hitting pause is just like activating SP. A hard transition is... well, hard.

[Bcore74]

@gamerandwatcher2000 or at least if your playing quickplay+

[trazac]

This feature was actually first introduced in Guitar Hero: On Tour.

[AlderDragon]

Fuck year man

[mickmister]

i sense cheating coming from this

[GHProProductions]

That's a bad ass feature.

[xboxpro57]

I wonder if one could abuse this to the point of just playing the song one note at a time, at least for harder sections.

[S3bz3r0]

@xboxpro57 yes, actually, people FC'ed I don't wanna stop on DS using that

[wolfthing11]

omg thats just like in the DS guitar hero games

[TheShadesterz]

GRIND FC

[BeauTTFAFrocker]

Now that's being courteous (whatever you spell it >_>)

[Soccer1296]

yeeee

[amackey9]

what all songs are on the demo?

[Forbidden5]

I can see this being abused to set up for tapping or something..

I like it.

[ImADrummerEh]

@Forbidden5 that way noobs like me can tap hard solos or sections instead of looking stupid trying to do it one handed =)
