The YouTube "behind-the-scenes" commentary trailer for the King of Fighters movie.

I always try to reserve judgement before seeing the final product, but after watching that trailer, well...it's like these people were trying to be as wrong as possible.

What I'm really torn about is whether I want to bother renting it when it inevitably comes rocketing to DVD. Good heavens.

What's going on Neversoft?!? I'm not too impressed with their decision to make a game based just on one band in Guitar Hero:Aerosmith. Now I hear that GH4 will include a drum set and vocals? Why not just call the game Rock Band: The Sequel? The GH series is getting off its successful track and altering its original formula so much that eventually they will ruin the franchise.

Here's an excerpt of the article I read from Wikipedia (I know, not a real reliable source ):

Guitar Hero IV will build on the existing Gameplay from previous Guitar Hero games. The traditional single player Career Mode has been reworked, following a similar mechanic as Rock Band' Band World Tour mode. A player will encounter gigs during career mode which they can select songs from to play, but are not required to complete all songs to proceed. Furthermore, while the difficulty levels (Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert) remain in the game, this Career Mode will allow to drop to a lower difficulty without restarting their career if they have difficulty with one song. The player will also be able to switch to a different instrument during the same Career without having to restart. There are four total instrument career modes within the game: lead guitar, bass guitar, drums, and rhythm guitar.

Wow, the difficulty levels will be able to drop if a player has too much difficulty on a song? Way to take away the challenge in the game. Most people wouldn't have too much trouble beating songs anyway if they didnt overchart everything. Neversoft needs to make their own game and stop trying to mimick Rock Band. Maybe they're just jealous that Rock Band outsold Guitar Hero 3, not surprisingly.
