As has been the case for years, there will always be someone who gets access to a game early and leaks as much about the game as they can. How much the leak consists of, depends entirely on two things: the morality of the lucky bastard, and the legal limits.

A few things have been confirmed that I do like though; forward compatibility for almost every WT/SH track, 10 minute long customs and the Matthew Bellamy rumour was confirmed (whilst I wouldn't say I like this for what it is, he's no KD after all, I would say I'd like this because it'll shut up people asking about it).

Now, for everything else other than how bland the box art is:

Over the past hour or so, I've been watching the videos on Youtube of the GH5 charts kindly uploaded by SchnackAttack69, and I'm now anticipating the UK release of this game much less than I was yesterday. The charts look crap over all for various reasons; Sweating Bullets by Megadeth, for example, has the worst chart I've ever seen since it's so horrendously inaccurate and is stupidly undercharted, and then we have the chart nicknamed Before I Forget v2.0 (the Children of Bodom song)...





I was, originally, going to get this on release date since it had the best setlist - in my opinion - since Smash Hits (who can fault a GH game that has Beast and the Harlot, Cult of Personality and Bark at the Moon?) but now I probably won't. If I do, it'll be to play Dueling Banjos and Satch Boogie on a better engine.

Oh, whilst I remember: Bring The Noise 20XX. Oh God, BtN20XX...

Now, either that's the stupidest re-recording in the history of ever or Neversoft went out of their way to intentionally slow the vocals down...

Et finalment: I'm still waiting for Guitar Hero 4 (Neversoft have said that GHWT =/= GHIV).
