Guitar Praise To Challenge Rock Band for Supremacy

[packerfan8675309]

We all know that rock band is the best, but there is a new kid on the block who is going to be the next big thing. Just kidding, i saw an ad for this somewhere and clicked on it. Throughout the whole thing, I had conflicting thoughts about whether this was real or not. I kept waiting for something that would say it was a spoof.

Where have you been?

Finally! I get to play a rhythm game with triangles as the notes.

This looks better than Funny Band (http://kotaku.com/5106730/funny-band-the-best-guitar+drum+keyboard-controller--press-release-ever) at least.


Funny Band will be loved by dance game to lots of users who just fall in to rhythm game.

I like that person's English. A lot. You'd think they'd at least hire a translator that had decent English skills. :rolleyes:

Thank you forever and ever for that link.

Both the "products" in this thread entertain me greatly.

lol fools don't they know that the REAL God is mike rowe

I'm trying to figure out what the next big copycat thing will be. The past few summers were superhero movies, starting with Spiderman, and now it seems to be rhythm games.

Get a life and learn how to play REAL Guitar Hero, nerd!

Except they're not making fun of them, they're just making horrible lookalikes.

You are assuming companies like that hire a professional translator. Nuh uh. Too many companies rely on employees who 'speak language X pretty well' to handle translations, and this is what happens.

Doesn't just happen in Asia either, although most companies over in the US and Europe have learned the hard way that hiring a pro might be a bit more expensive, but that the quality is worth it.

i still cant believe either of these things are real

[jeccaneko]

Yeah, this game is totally real. The company who makes it supposedly is interested in making a full band game next, because Guitar Praise did better than they expected.

Keep in mind better than expected doesn't mean it sold millions of copies. It just sold better than their other games have. I have a feeling a decent number were bought by Rock Band or Guitar Hero fans who were curious and/or wanted more Christian rock.

[madcow36]

without Stryper, Guitar Praise will fail

[bmaninc]

Its better than Rock Revolution?

[packerfan8675309]

Its better than Rock Revolution?

probably not, unless you are really religious. also its only for the computer

[bse523]

It might try and outsell Rock Revolution. But no, it's probably not better than RR.

[packerfan8675309]

maybe its not so much of a joke after all. Cena reviewed it and gave it a 10. He is Christian but the principle applies that if you like the music, youll like the game.

[Chief Stubbs]

If they put Demon Hunter or Antestor or Living Sacrifice on there I'd definitely buy it.
