New GH3 DLC -- in other news, Activision is trying to shoot off their other foot.

[espher]

The Warner/Reprise Track Pack (master recordings)

* "Pretty Handsome Awkward" by The Used
* "Sleeping Giant" by Mastadon
* "No More Sorrow" by Linkin Park

Single song downloads (courtesy of "popular European bands")

* "So Payaso" by Extremoduro
* "Antisocial" by Trust
* "Ernten Was Wir Säen" by Die Fantastischen Vier

"Free, exclusive rock rendition" of a holiday classic

* "We Three Kings" by Steve Ouimette


At least they got the 'free holiday tune' thing going.

Edit: Disclaimer: I don't necessarily think all of those are bad.

Edit again: I yoinked this from Joystiq, but my internet connection is wonky and I can't seem to grab the address to place a link.

That's funny.

I don't even know if that's considered shooting off a foot. That seems like strapping a piece of C4 to it and throwing it down an elevator shaft a la Die Hard.

God, that's a terrible pack of songs to be forced to buy together.

At least there is a Christmas song though free of charge.

DOOOOOOD! THE FANTASTISCHEN VIER?!?!?! Oh Em Gee... They were around when I was in high school with such hits as "Sie Ist Weg" - which we learned about in German class. Actually I love that song.

Yup, so that makes 4 songs I would buy for GH3 (if I had it) compared to 12 that I've already bought for RB...

[The_Wurm]

I can't wait to FC linkin park,.....


then cut my wrists

[Xzyliac]

I'm interested in the Holiday song. Mainly because its the same guy who did the Devil Went Down to Georgia for GHIII.

i didn't even see that part of the post, sweet.

[Quastor]

Meh

<NotImpressed>

[Raider87]

Are you kidding me? Mastodon itself is worth buying the whole pack

[Rock_Starman]

I was hoping for something....good.

[WiseOldUnicorn]

lol @ Linkin Park. I used to love their old stuff...but even then, it wasn't exactly the kind of music you listen to and think "Holy crap, this would be AWESOME in Guitar Hero!"

We Three Kings sounds cool, though. Especially since that's my one of my favorite Christmas songs (and it's free).

-goes to look the rest up on Youtube-

[King_Nuthin]

Anti-Social is a great song I was kind of hoping Rock Band could get the Anthrax cover version. Kind of an odd choice to go with the Trust version in the US market but I guess these tracks are really for the benefit of the Euros.

[Joigga]

if guitar hero 3 had a dragonforce track pack everyone would buy it

[DesiredFX]

If by "everyone" you mean "about five people," then I agree.

[Hastyl3]

A Warner/Reprise pack and no Pumpkins? They really made horrible song choices.

[Quinarvy]

If by "everyone" you mean "about five people," then I agree.

No, it really means "give or take two people"

[Sophrosyne]

Linkin Park as DLC...

I think I just threw up a little.

I knew that there would come a day where Linkin Park would make its way into the musical gaming world. I prayed that they wouldn't be introduced on RB, Fallout Boy was bad enough. My prayers have been answered ^_^

I wonder how the GH3 fanboys are going to react to this, heh :)

As long as it's "improved" with notes that aren't there and rapid 3 button chords, they'll be fine.

[ThePaska]

Terrible DLC, I might download the free song just because well...its free! I hope Rock Band has something for christmas too, at least GH III has announced theirs.

[sushi111]

I will not buy any of teh songs but We 3 Kings sounds off the hook.

[Joigga]

im not saying they would buy the dragonforce songs because of the songs but because of how fun they would be

[DesiredFX]

That's certainly possible.

Personally, I found the one Dragonforce song on GH3 to be too annoying to listen to, and if a song is annoying to listen to, I generally don't want to play it.

[Credge]

Mastodon is great, if you enjoy the sweet sounds of static.

[Rock_Starman]

I wouldn't. Though all their songs sound the same so even if I did like them still would only need the one in the game.

[tombrady]

I hope this means Activision has exclusive rights to linkin park so we don't have to deal with it.

Lawl. :D

I hope so.

[jonfitzsimon]

i have never heard of any of these songs before, so that makes my decision very easy. Pass...

[Xzyliac]

After the first two most people will have trouble trying to figure out which is which. :p

[tomahawk72]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

[jonfitzsimon]

so i went online last night and none of this was up for download. Is there a release date or something?

[Joigga]

we dont know a release date but Joystiq said sometime in december my guess is christmas day

[TheHakku]

I'm pretty bummed that Pretty Handsome Awkward isn't available as a single song (like Rock Band offers single tracks from packs). I care less for the other two in that pack. Activision sucks.

[Julio_No_Mas]

I'll get We Three Kings. Steve Ouimette is awesome.
