GHIII To Be For The Mac and PCPress release:
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 Slashšs chops, we still have what it takes to bring the best music game on the planet to PC and Mac gamers. Aspyršs 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 audiencešs 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 wešre 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 itšs 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'm really quite stunned with this news; I was always under the impression that MACs could only run Photoshop and iTunes, I didn't know they ran games! Update: F13 artists just completed a rendition of what this should look like:

I'm sure someone will say it's an educational title and that's why it's on the macs...

I just glanced at the article, but I didn't notice an "Intel" anywhere. In any case, they ought to clarify that it will only run on Intel-based Macs. I know, I know. Get with the times. In any case, I suppose we can thank Intel for the coming availability of games on Mac. I suppose...

Guitar Hero III just ate Rock Band's lunch. At least as far as my mostly console-less household goes. Smart move on their part.

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.

Until GHIII lets me play the drums, Rock Band's lunch is safely uneaten, thank you very much. Also, The Who > The Rolling Stones (who I do like as well). |
