More Dragonforce for Guitar Hero III News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

25 July, 2008

Dragonforce will be releasing three more tricky tracks for Guitar Hero III owners to swear along to on 21st August, according to the band's label, Roadrunner Records.

These include "Heroes of our Time", which is the first song from upcoming album "Ultra Beatdown", as well as oldies "Operation Ground and Pound" and "Revolution Deathsquad".

Dragonforce is an English band that plays bonkers music at a ridiculous pace, demonstrated wonderfully by "Through the Fire and Flames", which is one of the hardest songs ever in a Guitar Hero game and plays over the third game's end credits.

This new triplet of tantalisers will cost 500 Microsoft Points (GBP 4.25 / EUR 6.00) on Xbox Live and GBP 3.99 on the PlayStation Store when it's released in a month or so's time.

But, as you can see by going to YouTube, they're a terrible live band and none of them can actually play anywhere near that accurately at that speed and there's a lot of studio trickery involved there.

I still think 4 quid for 3 songs is utterly fucking terrible.

Yes, because Youtube gives a really good indication of a concert performance. I've seen them live twice. Did I enjoy myself? Yes...yes I did. Did they play exactly like the CDs? No..no, they didnt. Did I care? Not an effing jot. Far too many people take them too seriously...the band themselves even make fun of the fact that they cant reproduce their studio performances live.

Yeah, I wish that guy wasn't standing behind me with a gun forcing me to watch them all too.

Compared to paying Ł10 for the album of 8 songs? (Yes, there's only 8 songs on DragonForce's Inhuman Rampage, but remember the songs are on average 7 minutes long.)

These are bought for me. Fucking love DragonForce now. "Operation Ground and Pound" is great.

About damn time GHIII pulled the finger out.

Apart from Westlife and Beyonce, obviously.

Fair enough, I was merely mentioning it. And actually YouTube gives a better indication of a concert performance. Obviously it's not as good, since it looks rubbish, sounds rubbish and you don't get the great atmosphere, but one almost never picks up on mistakes unless they're really, really, really bad live, whereas in hindsight watching the DVD or YouTube performance every wrong note or uncontrolled speeding up becomes glaringly obvious.

I've seen them live 5 times and they've sounded terrible each time, though I mostly put that down to the sound engineers not getting the mix right

Dragonforce are terrible, even they couldn't play their godawful songs on Guitar Hero.

Anyone suggesting that Dragonforce are a crap band live has obviously an idiot I'm afraid. I have also seen them live twice and were utterly superb! I would like to see anyone who could replicate their music from their CD live, its not possible unless you mime. And its not supposed to sound exactly like recorded, if it did, it would be a shit gig.

Though 4 quid is a stupid amount.

I refuse to take IQ tips from someone who says "has an idiot". IS!

Anyway, sold GH III and bought the far superior GH II. Never regretted it.

I haven't seen Dragonforce live but I remember seeing Megadeth in Hammersmith once, they came out played their songs and fucked off without batting an eyelid, technically amazing but you may as well have had the CD on, it was shit with zero atmosphere. Pantera supported them and they were all over the place but they had the place jumping and screaming along, worth going just for them.

As for these tracks I like Dragonforce but I wont be bending over for a dry reaming, 250 points I would have buckled but not for 500.

I´ve seen Dragonforce live and i´ve met Herman Li and he played as good or better than recorded!!
I just wonder why GHIII didn´t pick their fastest track "Fury of the storm".
