Nvm. Answered my own question, but can't delete this post? I miss the old forum.

Uh, external controllers were never prohibited. It was just made the rule that the controller that comes with the thing (new siri remote) had to be useable for the games as well.

Marty McFly would be so excited to visit actual 2015, where he can finance a virtual guitar through his phone company. The future is now! Rejoice!

I think there's a 2 device limit on the Apple TV as well, which kills any chance of a Rockband-like experience.
 
Kinda feels like a sellout type deal. For some reason I have a feeling it will have terrible support vs the console versions. I like what Harmonix is doing and making a music rhythm game specifically designed for the new AppleTV.

I guess we'll see, though I'm personally planning in investing in RockBand 4 for my Xbox One. This could be great, but knowing Guitar Heros history...we'll see.

How about support for the new AppleTV?

I guess it will be coming soon... (?)


Anyway, at $100.00 don't expect to sell many.

It literally says at the bottom of the article "A version for the new Apple TV will also be released to play on the big screen. The game launches in Europe on October 23."
 
Give me Rocksmith for iOS please! So much more potential with a real guitar, you can actually learn a skill for life while playing pretty much the same game rather than just smashing coloured plastic buttons

I just cannot imagine myself playing on a fake guitar on a train while looking at a tiny iPhone screen.

Just leave the guitar at home or school or work and play by tapping the notes on the screen when you're on the go.
 
GameSpots review is out on this game and it doesn't look pretty.

Holy Cr@p it's 2GB! Seems a bit bloated for anyone who doesn't have a 128GB iOS device.
 
Pass, they hardly updated their last release. So what is the point of purchasing this one? Classic example of a money grab. Then they go away for 5 to 8 years and return claiming to have put something new in the game.
