ASPYR MEDIA ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH ACTIVISION TO BRING GUITAR HERO III: LEGENDS OF ROCK TO PC AND MAC
AUSTIN, TX Sept. 11, 2007 The rock gods have spoken, and gamers around the world will now be able to unleash their inner-rock star on two brand new platforms. Aspyr Media, in partnership with Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), today announced that the third iteration of the wildly popular Guitar Hero franchise, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, will be available to PC and Mac gamers for the first time ever this fall.
Being developed and published exclusively by Aspyr, the PC and Mac versions will match their console counterparts with explosive new content and features including a multiplayer action-inspired battle mode, grueling boss battles, a host of exclusive unlockable content and visually stunning rock venues. With more than 70 songs in the set list, and more original master tracks than ever before, players will be able to shred from many of the freshest and hottest artists today, along with many of the most popular rock songs ever recorded. Expanded online multiplayer game modes will also allow PC and Mac enthusiasts to rip head-to-head against players around the world and across either platform, raising the level of competition for true legendary rock status.
"Working with such a wildly successful franchise and helping to strengthen an already powerful brand has us feeling like rock stars ourselves, only without the fame, money or musical talent," said Ted Staloch, Executive Vice President, Publishing for Aspyr. "But even without Slash¹s chops, we still have what it takes to bring the best music game on the planet to PC and Mac gamers. Aspyr¹s expertise in developing and publishing for these platforms means that we will deliver a game that wails just as hard as it does on consoles but feels natural on this audience¹s chosen platform."
"Providing the option for our fans to play Guitar Hero at their desk or on a laptop on the go is incredibly exciting, and we¹re thrilled to now offer the ability to rock out literally anywhere and everywhere," said Dusty Welch, head of publishing at RedOctane. "PC and Mac gamers can now shred as hard as their console counterparts do, and it¹s a great opportunity to help promote musicianship and expand the growing number of Guitar Hero fans worldwide."
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock on PC and Mac is rated T for Teen by the ESRB, and will be available this fall. For more information, please visit www.aspyr.com. |

I bet it's more playable with a Keyboard rather a gamepad, oh well.

Yeah Guitar Hero is kinda' good but I doubt it'll have the same success as the console version. Well, what the heck, nothing will trouble us to see and play the PC version ... is it?

i d rather see rockband coming to pc as the peripherals (the drumkit) looks like it could be also used for midi-input into sequencers, which would be awesome, depending on its price...

It's very pleasing to see more & more very good, substancial console games being transfered to PC. Gears of War, PGR4 (rumored), Halo, now GH3 & who nows how many more.
Kinda makes me think, that developers are afraid to hit console's performance barriers soon enough, & there will be no place to go, except of course, PC.

Is there any possibility that this game will support a real guitar? Now that would be awesome

I really dislike Aspyr, they port tons of games and get you excited and then they're horribly ported. If anyone played Tony Hawk American Wasteland they can tell you that even with the best PC in the world getting a decent framerate in story mode is impossible.

Custom songs is stupid, even if you miss the notes the guitar-sounds will still play on like normal.
