PS3 Controller Compatibility Routine Patch

[SoulScreme]

Has anyone been able to update the game thus far....or is everyone to busy rocking on their LP guitars....come on people feedback.......

GOOD JOB HARMONIX!!!!! THANKS FOR THE FIX!!!!

It's not out yet. There was an "unexpected delay."

Blah, Sony needs to get on the ball so I can go out and spend even more unnessecary money on Guitar Hero 3

Bwahahaha. GH3 isn't bad. The "Boss Battles" bug the crap out of me, but otherwise, it's good. It was an awesome step up from playing GH2 on the PS3. (I even made the mistake of trying GH1 on the PS3.... oh, it worked, it just looked like it was made to run on the NES).

They've said it's NOT Sony's fault for the delay, it's internal.

Funny thing, Guitar Hero 1 on PS2 looks better than Guitar Hero 3 on PS2.

Does it really matter?

To me it DOES matter. HMX is beginning to sound like politicians by giving very vague answers in regards to this situation. I really don't like being told that a patch would be ready YESTERDAY only to find out that it's on the way but they can't tell us when or why there's been a delay???? I'm not one for dangling carrots.

The most obvious reasons would be:
A) They have to wait for the Thursday Sony update or perhaps some other problem with Sony's network.
B) They THOUGHT they had it fixed only to find a glitch.

Don't get me wrong. I am THRILLED that they have announced the patch. I'm very glad that they listened to all of the PS3 owners out there who kind of got shafted. I'm also very happy that the HMX guys on this board are trying to keep us updated. If they would just explain what the hold up is it would calm those of us who are dying in anticipation!

I just meant to get the dang patch up on the PSN since it's taking so long (And I'm doing a ps3tag cause of yours now dangit. I'm gonna get involved in this game on the forums too it's so awesome)

That's standard procedure for pretty much any company that has to deal with the public.

Explaining why it was delayed would almost certainly reveal more of the internal workings of the system than they have any reason to want to reveal.

Maybe the build machine crashed. Maybe the Sony certification guy was home sick. Maybe there was a last minute bug.

If they do explain the delay, it will have to come from an official channel with an official explanation. Note how HMXSean's initial announcement was vague and marketing-sounding? Yeah, that's 'cause it's an official announcement. He didn't just whip that up in the topic editor, I can tell you that much.

Please remember, in the end, this is a business and they have to run it as professionally as they can. Often times that means not explaining every detail.

Much thanx to HMX, RO, Sony and all the others that had to get their sheet together and worked out so we can have true guitar compatability.

Thank you all once again, you will all be going in my will where you shall share upon my fortune to the sum of......One Million do...CROAK

Bwahahaha. GH3 isn't bad.

I beg to differ. The visual design declined significantly for a game going up to a higher-resolution system, the note charts were designed more for difficulty than for musicality, my particular Les Paul never really did calibrate correctly, there were issues with framerate (as there were with GH2)which for some reason caused the gameplay to screw up (I ALWAYS miss a note when the framerate shift happens), and the game had what was, in my opinion, the very worst set list of any game in the series.

That's why the Les Paul compatibility issue is so important to me--if it doesn't happen, my GH3 experience was a complete waste of time and money.

So, thanks, Harmonix, for taking care of this...assuming that this is what the patch takes care of!
