RedOctane site: Guitar Hero 3 coming in Fall '07

Apr 27th 2007 3:18PM (Joystiq)
First off Kody, you can buy GH2 for PS2 with or without the guitar if you look around. Also, as pertaining why they should or should not make it for PS2, think about this. The most important aspect of the game is not graphics, but the experience of interaction. Sure, the PS3 has superb graphics to the PS2, but that's probably about it when it comes to what would decide the difference of the two versions. Speed, audio quality, etc are hardly the case between the two systems. If you make it for the PS2, either PS2 or PS3 owners can play it. If you only make the PS3 version, you're cutting off a huge percentage of the population who fell in love with the game to begin with. There's no way I'd go spend 500-600 just to play GH3 on PS3. I'm not even going to pay $300 for the cheap 360 to play it either. I know it'd probably be tedious for them to make it for so many platforms, but by keeping it on the PS2, they are most likely to keep ~90% of the current buyers, who bout them on PS2. By making it for the other systems, you then open up a new market for those who only have one system, or don't have PS2. Now once GH4 comes out, then it'd probably be smart to stick to the next gen systems.
