Rock Band Dev Says Guitar Hero Not True to Music
Reported to Rock-and-roll Band developer Harmonix, the note charts in the Guitar Hero series are "disconnected" with the music.
Alex Rigopulos, head of Harmonix, acknowledges that although his new multi-instrument series might be easier than Activision's, he runs Stone Stripe development with the end of honoring the music gamers bequeath play.
Despite still selling millions crossways consoles and handhelds, the Guitar Hero franchise has recently taken unfavorable judgment for its difficultness curve and finger-numbing note patterns.
"The directional philosophy for the States when authoring patterns is staying faithful the medicine. What we found was if worldly in Rock group was actually easier compared to Guitar Hero, it's because the actual guitar parts are easier, whereas the design mandatory for GH seems to be more adjusted on a gamer mentality in ratcheting skyward the difficulty," explained Rigopulos. "What you see are these note charts that are identical disconnected from what's actually happening in the real guitar parts in the music; they might be more crazy from a gameplay point of view, but they're also much garbled from the music. So for us, that departs from our core design mandate."
None of this is means that Harmonix is shying away from songs with frenzied fretwork.
Rigopolous hinted, "That said, we are bringing some music to the platform, which we're not primed to discuss yet, that the nature of the music itself is so touched, it will be the most challenging material conceivable to play in the Rock Ring macrocos."
