I don't see this nearly as big a deal as RB2. Missing the holidays was inexcusable.

However missing a few weeks in slow season doesn't seem like a very big deal.

Damn you Fishy and your logic, always derailing crazy VGC threads!

 

I didn't say it is a big deal (the thread title was hyperbole of course), I just wondered why they made a choice which is apparently not guided by the goal of maximizing sales.

Maybe they don't want to cannibalize sales of best selling GH:WT version any earlier than they have to.

It's also possible that they're releasing their games at different times as to spread out their profits over the year instead of having them all at the launches of big games.

Wouldn't that only make sense if they were selling to identical markts, and even then only if they released in different financial quarters?

As to the OP: I have no idea. It is almost offensively stupid. They must have some reason, unless they are just trying to push the HD versions of the games for some reason.

Man, I would love to see "The Ecstasy of Gold" part of some sort of DLC later down the road. It would be a must buy for me if that was the case...

I'll be keeping my eye on this one for sure.

As some of you might know, I'm a hardcore Metallica fanboy(old school Metallica).

Thus, I shall buy two copies of this game, on opening day, and die of metal-gasm as I rock out to what I hope shall be Battery.

 

There are a lot of those like me...this could very well be the biggest guitar hero spinoff. Non-gamer metallic fans will buy this game just for schwag.

Wait for Guitar Hero: Beatles, or even Guitar Hero: Alice Cooper. Or hell, just for kicks, Guitar hero: Queen.

 


If they ever released GH Beatles, it would sell a shit load of copies.

Do stand alone GH game for PS3/360 sell for the same than regular game on these console and do the same apply for PS2/Wii? If yes, then you got your answer.
