    So Episode 98 “Same Old, Same Old” is up for sponsors right here. I hope you like it, because it took forever to film. I think the actual filming time ran something like 23 hours, which is probably the longest time it’s taken to film an episode…

  • Guitar Hero III footage

    Some fresh Guitar Hero III news has hit the web. Gameplay footage made it’s way onto YouTube. See below. Also, IGN has an article about the upcoming game with some neat screenshots.

    What are you expecting in GH3. Better graphics? Would you settle for an add-on pack for your GH2 game? Do you want more features?



    via Arrogantics

    Article at IGN about GH3: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/792/792801p1.html

    “Give the fans what they want. That means the development team won’t rock the boat too hard, staying true to the gameplay first laid out by Harmonix. But it also means that more of the songs and features we’ve all been clamoring for will finally make it in.”

    Images from that article:

    Thoughts on the improved graphics? Is it just a masking for a game that we could get in GH2 if they would release more tracks?
