UK, May 23, 2007 - Activision has rocked our world by officially announcing that Guitar Hero III will feature wireless guitars, an online multiplayer mode and original artists recordings when the game is released this Autumn.

Guitar Hero III will be available on PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii and will feature an abundance of new modes, including a multiplayer action-inspired battle mode, boss battles, unlockable content and authentic rock venues.

More importantly, wannabe rock gods can get their fingers in a twist with the all-new wireless guitar controllers, with the Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 getting the Gibson Les Paul and PS2 the proud recipient of a Gibson Kramer. What's more, the guitars will have removable faceplates that allow fans to personalise their guitars, plus they'll include a new button colour design for "an even greater authentic feel and rock experience".

In addition Guitar Hero III will include an expanded online multiplayer in which axe-shredders worldwide can compete in head-to-head battles to prove they're the ultimate rock legend. As for the tracks you'll be rocking along to, Activision has revealed that GHIII features more master recordings than ever before, with the first tracks announced as follows:

Paint It Black - The Rolling Stones

Cherub Rock - Smashing Pumpkins

Sabotage - Beastie Boys

The Metal - Tenacious D

My Name is Jonas - Weezer

Knights of Cydonia - Muse

Rock And Roll All Nite - Kiss

School's Out - Alice Cooper

Slow Ride - Fog Hat

Cult of Personality - Living Colour

Barracuda - Heart

Dusty Welch, head of publishing at RedOctane, said: "The development team at Neversoft has been exceptional and we've been able to incorporate a host of fresh new online and multiplayer game play modes, along with exciting content into this version of Guitar Hero that our fans have been asking for. Also, many of the top bands and songs we've tried to get in the past are now on board."

Knights of Cydonia - Muse

That alone has me completely sold. Especially since it's the original recording. Not only that, but Cult of Personality is in there too! w3wt!

[Segitz]

Nothing for me there yet...

I want some ACDC, more ZZ Top, Dire Straits, Disturbed and Manowar.

I just hope, they dont screw up the pricing on PSN when it hits... I wont pay even 1 cent more than 1€ per song on average. If the ITunes Store can sell DRMed music for that price, a game song should be even cheaper. I mean you cannot just listen to it, you cannot put it on yer PSP for on the walk or burn it to CD to give it to a friend... Same goes for Singstar (but I think Sony will do this right, dunno why)

Come on Zeppelin, stop being anal with the liscensing rights! I wanna play "Bring It On Home" or "Since I've Been Loving You" on GH!

Or "Dazed and Confused", cause it would be really fun to play in the bass/guitar multiplayer mode.

[Shadow19]

Yay for:
Cherub Rock - Smashing Pumpkins
Cult of Personality - Living Colour

I want some:
Soundgarden
Tool
Michael Angelo Batio
A Perfect Circle
more Alice in Chains
More Buckethead

I'm so very giddy right now.

Weezer and Muse had me sold.

Having Cult of Personality and one of the top 10 modern guitar solos makes me very happy. Seriously, download that song and tell me how I'm supposed to handle that.

Guitars with no wires! How novel! ;)

[LiquidEagle]

Cult of Personality's definitely going to be fun as hell... maybe now I can finally get the timing down to that song :-p

yeah you cannot just listen to it.
but you can play it.
i don't really understand why you think that way.
and for exaple not the opposite one :)
why pay for song at Itunes.
where the only thing you can do with it is to listen to it ?
isn't radio free ?
just fucking around but i don't really agree with you :)
there is the song and there is additional work to make it play.
whay shouyld it be even at the same price ?!

[OmniCloud]

But I've grown outta it after the 2nd one...

Now it's just a party starter:shrug:

[Lucent Beam]

My Name is Jonas?
Come on, there are so many other better Weezer songs. Boo.



However... just to rejoice again, ONLINE MULTIPLAYER!!!!!!!
