Now if someone wishes to get this they can, just ask our friend google for a torrent. |

It came with 3 songs, but the 3 songs were not Guitar Hero songs. They were custom songs made of independent bands that gave the author permission to put the songs in. |

I think the problem is that, as I'm led to believe, the guy included music with the package which would have bit him in the arse sooner or later. SM doesn't exactly come with sim packs included. |

I could see your point if he had worked for WT while developing this. But he didn't, and the article's inaccuracy on this point (It calls him "a developer for WT", implying that WT was somehow in cahoots on the whole thing AND that he was working for them currently) caused a huge uproar amongst a "OMG SPYWARE ASSHOL!!1!1" crowd that wouldn't have been there in the first place if only the reporting had been accurate. Indeed, I think if the article were accurate in the first place, pretty much everything, including the uproar you're complaining about, would never have been there. |

I'm sorry, mabye it was just everyone being dumbasses going OH NO THEY ACCUSED HIM OF WORKING FOR WILDTANGENT AND BOO HOO WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH all over.
And yes, for your fucking information, I did read it. Excuse me for accidentally misinterpreting the informtaion I recieved. Fuck, if he did work for WT than this makes every single person including himself that's up in arms about it even fucking stupider. |

Whooaakay...calm it down guys. I think X got it after the third time (two here and one in the blog). No need to continually harp on him for a misread. |

Originally posted by XkeeperOriginally posted by Yoronosuku Clearly you didn't. He said he worked there, but does so no longer. (EDIT:The post in question. His exact words were, as Kingpin said, "I don't work for WildTangent, and haven't for well over a year" I don't know how the hell you took that and turned it into "I never worked for WildTangent". There's no damn way to interpret that as "I never worked for WildTangent," in fact. END EDIT) And as others in other places have said, StepMania does quite a bit to blow your "OMG ILLEGUL" theory right the fuck out of the water. |

Originally posted by Kingpin Not entirely true... If anything, the same can be said from Guitar Hero against DDR anyways. Being able to play any DDR/ITG-made sim on Stepmania does not kill the fact that there are custom songs that exist. StepMania more than does that as well. On legality, it's the same principle because it can used licensed music for that particular regard just as SM can. It's a simulator/emulator. There's always going to be the grey area on what piracy really is in that regard so there's no 'it's kinda legal'. If you have to say that, it isn't anyways. Then again, we're a ROM hack board as it is. I don't think I have to go there with that extrapolation to get my drift. :\ Doesn't mean people won't stop trying to get a free fix for Guitar Hero, DDR, Beatmania, and whatever other rhythm game that's in existence. EDIT: By the by, if you're really interested, it's here. |

There is the thread, and he clearly says "I do not work for WildTangent and havent for well over a year." He doesn't deny ever working for them. |

Originally posted by Yoronosuku No, he denies ever working for WildTangent. I did read the thread. |
| Kingpin Posts: 697/709 |
Yeah, a lot more original than Stepmania. The reason he made it look and work so much like guitar hero is because of custom songs. There are literally hundreds of custom songs out there now, but not everyone has swap magic and a dvd burner to be able to actually play them. With this, they could. |

Originally posted by Xkeeper Xkeeper....did you read the thread? ._.; The man himself ADMITS he worked for WildTangent but has not for over a year, and that includes when he made the game. .-.; this is also no more copy-right infringing than StepMania, which even uses original graphics and sounds FROM DDR, at least this guy purposely went out of his way to make original media content for it.... if anything it is MORE legal than StepMania in that regard .-. |

WTF was I doing making that post here?  Ai yi yi... Colin needs to stop posting when he's in a rush to go to school.  
(I know people who aren't well, and my throat doesn't feel well but that's the least of anyone's troubles. As for this... dummies shouldn't copy good work.) |
| Xkeeper Posts: 5364/5653 |
I don't really the problem. The guy made a blunt-as-all-hell clone without being orignal at all; it was either Kotaku doing it our your favorite game company shutting him the fuck down.
This is copyright infringement and no amount of WAAAH FREE  changes that.
By the way, you should really consider shutting your fucking mouth, because there are several sources I found by a quick google search to support that this dumbass has, at at least one point in his life, worked for WildTangent. (Edit: He may not have worked as a WT employee, but I see he's developed at least 4 games with them -- which is highly suspicious in terms of "not working there"...) |
| Cynthia Posts: 5687/5814 |
Well, if you release the game and basically COPY most of the original game... the lawyers will be after you eventually. :\ |
| Tanks Posts: 483/596 |
So does anybody have a link for this? I know he took it down but I bet others are still distributing it somewhere. |
| Hiryuu Posts: 2301/2480 |
I'm perfectly capable of making my own graphics and steps for StepMania so I could really give two shits otherwise.
Someone will likely pick up the project. They didn't ruin anything and just like any other rhythm based game (that's popular, at least) there will be a VERY FREE simulator to go with it. |

Yeah, I know of Freetar Hero and Frets on Fire. They were both ok, but it was obvious that not much time was spent on them. To me the thing that stood out about Guitar Zero was that hammer-ons and pull-offs actually work. They don't work on the others. WIthout hammer-ons and pull-offs, there is no way you could clear a Dragonforce song. |
