Gotta hit the notes earlier?

[MeleeMan]

It may be visual lag.

[Mr_Urlacher]

When I played the demo at my local BB I noticed that I had to strum earlier to hit the notes. It didnt seem natural to me, is this just the demo? Did anyone else experience this?

[OrdealByFire]

it was probably the TV.

[Schultzy]

Yeah, it probably wasn't calibrated. Every time I've played RB, it's been just fine.

[xizorhutt]

just played the demo at bestbuy and at first it seemed that way then I got use to the guitar it self. so use to the guitar hero guitar that it taked awhile to get used to this one. Then it got to where I didnt have to do it early.

[dlisapussy]

I agree, probably calibration.

[Tenacious_B]

yeah it worked fine as far as calibration is concerned, the demo guitar kept double strumming on me though :(

[High_School_Legend]

I had the same deal goin on with GH3 last night at Wal-Mart so it isn't the game most likely.

I had same problem wit htimes of hitting the notes when i tryed the demo at bb.. but i also had another issue withe strum bar it did not move up or down at all.. ? is that the was it is sopposed to work or is supposed to move and work like all of the other giutar hero giutar ??

[scain826]

It's definitely the TV. (The a/v is also a bit out of sync [just barely] on many gameplay videos.) Do not sweat it.

[S1L3n7_M4yh3m]

Nope, I believe this is true because it is now more close to real life. It is the same thing with Guitar Hero 3, this is why I had so much trouble with GH3 so most likely this is true.

[firee143]

i understand the times issssue you to calabrate the to understood.. what about the strum bar? is it supposed to move or not ?? as stated in the last post ??

[SmokaCola]

I went to play GH3 and there was horrible lag =\ calibrated it, STILL lagged. I'm guessing it was just the ****ty tv they had it hooked to because at my house it was fine.

[dlisapussy]

I had same problem wit htimes of hitting the notes when i tryed the demo at bb..

They say the window for hitting notes is even tighter than GH2's.

[firee143]

i want to know about the strum bar is is going to stay sationally or does it move just like the other giutars

[hankmallon]

Everything should be fine. I played the demo once at Best Buy and barely didn't make a mistake at all on hard difficulty after playing expert on GH3 for awhile now.

[SoraRikuVGM]

Yea. The same happened to me, I hit a pad on the note (drums) and it sounded a second later.

[Mr_Urlacher]

I dont get why the timing in which you can hit a note has to be so tight. I mean just think about it, when a band is performing they don't have to be exactly on. They can be a little off with their timing, just not too much. And if they do hit a note a lil off the crowd doesnt hear a CLINK! They just hear the note being played, its not really noticable.

I would rather have the notes tighter than do what Neversoft did with GH3 and make the game harder with ridiculous note charts. I don't believe difficulty should be added to a song. That makes it feel acrcade to me. Some songs just aren't hard songs to play on a real guitar. Expert should make us do the same work with both hands as really playing it. Same amount of strumming, same amount of left hand finger movement. I don't have a problem with a tight timing window. That is a respectable challenge and I will get better with practice.

I do have a problem with allowing us to hit notes at the wrong time and count them as long as we hit them all. Timing is a huge part of music. I'm glad Harmonix is staying true to the songs themselves.

While I think that asking 3 times is annoying, I'll still answer.

The one I tried at BB moved similarly to the GH guitars, but it did have a different spring rate, which I liked more. However, the down stroke was broken...

Yeah when I was playing drums on the Best Buy demo I noticed that I was having to hit the notes a bit early. But it's definitely calibration lag.

[FlamingShadow]

You can calibrate the game, don't worry!
