I have to give Activision respect...

Look at the vocalist during the chorus.

I must say it is nice that they put in that extra bit of detail. It almost tempted me for a second to consider buying it, but I'm still gonna go ahead and pass.

[toymachineSH]

this could've gone in the Band Hero thread but I will say that Neversoft has always programmed specific song animations since WT >_>

[Icarus599]

Yeah I suppose there have been some other ones. This is just my favorite.

Shame they didn't do a specific for Master Exploder though. That would've been epic.

[General Lein979]

I have the sudden urge to buy a Coke.

Speaking of these dances, I was very displeased with the Michael Jackson moonwalk in WT. They should have just had MJ guest star. Some skinny white guy moonwalking and singing like MJ makes my skin crawl.

I could make a joke here, but I'm not out of respect.:p

[kiggidykev]

That's actually really cool. This is the second time I've been impressed by their animations, right after that Old Time Rock n Roll one with the vocalist sliding out.

[bootz0rs]

GH is definantly good with vocalist animations

Have you seen Lego: Rockband >_>

Great graphics, except for the whole product placement thing. Oh and what the **** is up with their charting?

It's on Hard mode
there is no guitar in the song.

This thread is now befouled with sexual slurs. Congrats, gentlemen.

Not anymore. Please feel free to report posts where people are abusing the now-uncensored "gay" as a slur, and bans will happily be issued.

On specific songs. Sometimes, you have the vocalist do some weird and "HAPPY" wave which makes me go "WTF?".

And most of non-specific songs' animations suck. The rest is good.


EDIT: OH LOL I JUST READ THE POST ABOVE >>

He said "skinny white guy", not "skinny white woman". :D

[SonicRocker15X]

The video was copyright removed... What was happening?

And yeah, in a way I like the way they add those little touches.
However, I don't like that the GHWT/SH to GH5 transition got rid of them when they were there.

[trueguitarist88]

can someone link a different video since the one that was linked got removed for copyright (F***ING YOUTUBE!)

[instantdeath999]

Yeah, I'm curious what song it was.

[Alright_Computer]

I heard plenty of guitar in the song... it's sparse, but quite audible in some parts. I don't think it would've been that much more boring than the horn section, which honestly looked pretty uninteresting itself. Definitely one of those songs that's there for the party singalong potential than anything else. Who doesn't know that song, seriously?

Oh, and to the people who didn't see the video before it got took down, it's YMCA by the Village People in Band Hero. They actually programmed the famous "YMCA" hand gestures during the chorus into the singer animations. That's definitely a really cool tidbit. I liked it a lot.

[CyanFunk]

I saw this coming the moment I learned 'Y.M.C.A.' was on the game. And yes, it is pretty cool. Neversoft knows how to program an awesome animation or two

Apparently 'ABC' does the same thing, but with 10yearold!MICHAEL JACKSON MOVES. Which is also awesome

Wonder what 'Mr. Roboto' does...

[16BitAlex]

Doesn't matter for me. No facial hair in Wii character creator = only wussy clean shave. Way to force me to use Focus Mode and erase all your hard work on the nice animations.

[Baanu_Rass]

Who is this Web Sheriff taking mah vidjas?

Man you really are obsessed with facial hair

They've been doing specific animations since Aerosmith bro. It's one of the reasons I still dig GH.

[Joey-Z]

Sure, I'm going to buy a game because of the 'Little details' they put in. :rolleyes:

If that were true, Square Enix would be running the video game industry.

[Icarus599]

I said you should respect their effort, not buy it.

And I'm watching Mr. Roboto now... no signs of anything unusual yet. Here's the vid if you want.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk5yLxX0w-4

Would be better if they didn't have that guy singing... I'm sure you can still edit the band lineup.

[Baanu_Rass]

How long has GH been introducing songs as "as" instead of "by"?

[toymachineSH]

wow I didn't even notice that
interesting

Why should I respect Activision for doing their job?

*Neversoft

[16BitAlex]

Man you really are obsessed with facial hair
It's one of the big things Harmonix now has over Neversoft on the Wii, and the only reason I haven't fully jumped the Rock Band Ship. My main character is nothing without his facial hair.

[CyanFunk]

'Whip It' has some cool singer animations, too. He literally cracks that whip

[toymachineSH]

oh god he just had to make Johnny Cash sing it >_>

[toymachineSH]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b1nbGlhnEQ here is a YMCA video since the OP's vid was taken down

[back_blows]

Is it still possible to have Cobain sing Y.M.C.A?

[Der_Lex]

Let's try and keep all Band Hero and Guitar Hero related posts in the threads for those games, thanks.
