I'm really proud of what we did on this game, I'm so excited for everyone to try it out. The new career mode, for me, has really reinvigorated that part of the game; but we also have added a lot of little tweaks and touches that improve the game over GH5.

I also wanted to address a few questions people had:
Although the new controller doesn't have the touch-sensitive bar, we have still tracked "tapping" sections. You can play them on the regular buttons, of course without having to strum in again if you miss.

Open bass note sustains don't require you to hold the strum bar down after you hit the note. The main reasoning behind them is simply that they just feel cool. Slamming down on a long open note sustain, and whammying it to your heart's content, is a good feeling

And finally, to throw my 2 cents into the whole setlist issue: the thrust of the song selection was picking songs that are both a) fun, and b) make you feel like a bad-ass guitar hero. A large chunk of the setlist falls into both categories, but for musical and gameplay variation we also used some songs that are not necessarily guitar anthems, but are just enjoyable to play. Considering that we account for the gameplay of 4 different instruments, as well as the diverse musical tastes of quite a large group of people, I feel that we reached a nice balance.

i was not really that excited for any GH game's release other than 3 and SH, and SH's hype died when i found out that they picked lots of the gh2 songs i didn't really like..

this time i am shitting myself in anticipation for BOTH GH:RAWR and RB3

GH for the cartoony crazy wtf story and the ridiculous impossible song filled setlist

RB for the KEYBOARD and all kinds of new shit. i still hope RB3's timing window is extended to be at least close to GH5's, but I wouldn't bet on that.

I'm so excited for this game since I saw the setlist. And I can't belive there are still way more songs to announce.

The one thing I hope they fix the most is GH Mix 3.0. I would sell my soul to Neversoft if they put in the feature to place notes like sheet music and place buttons on it after. MY God. If that happened I would be able to make songs like nothing because sadly I feel like the music creator in Wario Ware DIY is better than GH Mix 2.0

Can I ask some questions about Mo-Caps for this game, particularly the imports/WT DLC? Are they going to get fixed anytime soon because, well, frankly, they suck. Last time I checked, I don't need the singer and guitarist bopping around at stupidly high speeds during a song like Message In a Bottle or even worse, No Rain. Frankly, it's just poor. Any chance of making them seem...normal?

Thanks orange22 and the other NS staff filling us in.

I've got a big question which might be a bit too early to answer, but what are you doing for the online play? I mean how the host/non-host works. It was perfectly fine until GH5, where all the other ones I think it works like this:

Your own console registers everything you do and sends it to the opponent, so they may be delayed in seeing what you do such as whammying and when you activate star power (pretty common for someone to think you overran the third SP phrase in MNiJ when you didn't then they will update after you hit the phrase), but then everything registers for you immediately and then is sent to the opponent regardless of who's hosting, how good the connection is and where you live.

GH5 kinda ruined any sort of online competitive play, having 8 player rooms was one of the best things you could do for PFO, but then what I think the netcode did was things would only activate after you send what you've done to the host (and possibly after the host has sent it back to you). Which means the host is the only person who gets a fair game while everyone else can't activate star power properly.

Would you be able to tell me if you're copying the way GH5 did it or go back to the old way (still keep the new modes though)? Game is looking so good atm.

If the Dillinger Escape Plan song is off Calculating Infinity (43% Burnt or Clip The Apex...Accept Instructions would be mint, although Weekend Sex Change would be amazing on drums), and not from an album after it, I may squirt a little
