There's nothing really new coming in this game. It's the same old stuff. I like EP's preview http://www.elecplay.com/watch/19/167/2/16 the GH5 Game Director is talking about all the new features, but none of them sound innovative. The ability to have multiple instruments like 4 guitar's seems cool, but there's not much other than that. DLC is really what these games are about. If they're releasing a new game they should have new instruments supported, like a keyboard. Or they should shift towards real instruments and doing proper music lessons, or at least head in that direction, or some direction, instead of releasing a bunch of features nobody cares about. At least Beatles Rock Band will have some awesome songs.
I must admit, this game looks very pretty. Far prettier than WoW. It'll be interesting to see how it runs and more importantly, plays.
Sadly, even if it is as playable as a game like WoW, I doubt it'll be half as popular.
