fmx & Silverlight

Vom 5. – 8. Mai fand in Stuttgart die 13. fmx Konferenz statt – Europas größte Konferenz zum Thema Animationen, Effekte, Games und Digital Media – veranstaltet von der Filmakademie Baden Württemberg. Microsoft war zum ersten Mal als einer der Hauptsponsoren mit einem großen Stand und einer Xbox-Lounge vertreten, an der sich die Besucher mit einer Tüte Popcorn bei Guitar Hero und anderen Xbox-Spielen vom Konferenzstress erholen konnten. Am Stand präsentierte Microsoft dem interessierten Publikum aus der Games-, Medien- und Designbranche neue Technologien wie Microsoft Silverlight, Microsoft Popfly und Microsoft Live Labs Photosynth.

Ich war dabei und habe vor Ort mit Steffen Ritter, Microsoft Designer Marketing Manager über alles rund um die fmx und natürlich auch über sein Lieblings-Thema Silverlight gesprochen. Auch zu sehen in diesem Video, ein paar coole Silverlight Demos, vorgestellt von Oliver Scheer, Microsoft Developer Evangelist.

Die Demos findet man auch hier:

Ultimate Guitar Hero Controller from Peavey

Nic — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 00:34:00 GMT

I'm often torn between turning on my Xbox 360 and rocking out to some Guitar Hero or plugging in my *real* guitar and annoying the neighbours with some RAtM drop D thrashing.

Well the decision is about to become harder again. Instead of the flimsy half-scale plastic Explorer or Les Paul controller models that come with the game you'll soon be able to order an actual custom Peavey guitar modified with decals and guitar hero controller guts for the ultimate Rock n' Roll experience.

Watch the video for more info and if you're a drummer (or wannabe drummer) make sure you check out the custom Rockband drum kit controller from Ion Audio.

GUITAR HERO III: Companion Pack gives us XBOX 360 exclusive songs

Laura — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 18:39:00 GMT

Music and videogames take the next step in the digital revolution with expansion songs included with a game's soundtrack CD for the first time. Guitar Hero® III: Legends of Rock Companion Pack (Interscope Records), to be released on October 23, 2007, features not only the key songs on Activision's Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock, available October 28, 2007, but also exclusive access to more gameplay with three previously unreleased expansion songs to play with Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock for Xbox 360.

Included in each Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock Companion Pack is a unique code users may input at www.interscope.com/guitarherocode to receive a unique Xbox Live code. Users may then input the Xbox Live code into their Xbox 360 console when logged into Xbox Live, to download the expansion songs. Xbox Live codes are expected to be available when Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock launches on October 28.

The three expansion tracks are "Carcinogen Crush" from AFI (from an EP due in December), "Tina" from Flyleaf and a remix of Marilyn Manson's "Putting Holes In Happiness" by Nick Zinner from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The latter two recordings also are heard on the soundtrack CD, along with AFI's "Miss Murder," Sonic Youth's "Kool Thing," Queens Of The Stone Age's "3's And 7's," Smashing Pumpkins' "Cherub Rock," Velvet Revolver's "Slither," Living Colour's "Cult Of Personality," Rise Against's "Prayer Of The Refugee," the Guitar Hero rendition of "Devil Went Down To Georgia" by Steve Ouimette and the game's intro by Slash, who is also a character in the game.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock will include 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. Expanded online multiplayer game modes will also allow axe-shredders worldwide to compete head-to-head for true legendary rock status. While continuing to retain all the key features from their prior legendary performances, fresh downloadable content will be offered on multiple platforms, and players can now shred to a killer set list from many of the most popular rock songs ever recorded.

For the first time ever, Guitar Hero fans will also be able to thrash and burn with new wireless guitar controllers available for each platform, including exclusive Gibson Guitar's Les Paul model for the Xbox 360. We will also get to shred on a new exclusive shape, Gibson's Kramer guitar, popularized by hard rockers and known for its body design, pickups, electronics and construction for furious finger fretting.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, published by RedOctane® and developed by Neversoft. For more information about the Guitar Hero franchise, please visit the dedicated community site: www.guitarhero.com.
