Well, I hope we aren't too far in development for this, but FM needs to have a distinct syle. Like FOF has fire(well, the original, the FOFix classic theme, and the new FOFix dedicated theme). Rock Band has orange OD and has intricate designs and a animals, and GH is cartoony and has lightning. WE should have some starpower effects or something diffinitive to FM besides the main theme.
Post your thoughts here and I'll make a poll with the best ones.

Rock band has... orange?? No, Rock Band has Energy phrases and Overdrive.
If you mean the color used most of the way through the game, rockband uses almost exclusively shades of blue, green, aqua, and yellow. Guitar Hero uses a variety of colors due to the extreme exaggerations of it's cartoony stages, but the most notable (and generally the background) color is red.
And the theme has already been decided, as far as menu graphics and whatnot. We are going to base everything off of the default mod confusingboat made for callisto's old guitar zero 2. Although apparently (and quite to my discontent, but whatever, y'kno...) we are going to now be using guitar hero 2 style notes for some reason.

Well, I meant that it has orange overdrive and OD fretboard, in comparison to GH. I know RB is very much into cool colors while GH is very into warm ones. I was asking really what will define FM. I know the theme, but something like the proposed hex notes or a starpower effenct can give the game a style. Maybe pyro when starpower is activated? That seems FOFis. Its called Frontman..... Even though venues and such will vary, FM needs to have some definitave themes. GH has a lot of lightning. Something like that. We can't use fire because of FOF, so we need something else.
Random note: damn someone smited me.

hmm... you know i love those hex notes; i (with the help of strankx's awesome 3d modeling skills) was the one who made them. but yes i agree, we can't just go and use "Star Power" or "Overdrive." The game does need it's own definitive style that separates it from it's parent games, Guitar Hero and Rock Band. I have already brought this point up with derelict (over an xfire conversation a while back) and I think maybe once the game gets more developed we will change things around. After all, at this point in development, there is no real reason that things should be set in stone, especially when all the graphics will be interchangable.

For overdrive we may want to go with crowd pleaser or something around those lines. I personally would like to see a more wood like style.

I have a epic idea of Overdrive, where it doesn't go orange, but instead like a fluorescent white. Then the camera focuses on the player as if they were doing a solo, and the audio of their instrument would have reverb. With 2 people in overdrive, they'd both be focused in camera or it would switch views every few seconds between them.
That's just my idea though, which is farrrrr down the road.

well the idea of having reverb on the track is not a new one. even guitar hero started doing that on gh3.
but yah, later down the road, the camera focusing on the player would be nice.

I believe the reverb has been here since GH1, I know for sure it was in Gh2.
RB allows you to switch effects, but I hate it when people use the others online, it can easily ruin a song.
Oh, and what I mean by focus on one player, I mean dark background, only the overdriven characters will be spotlighted.

i just though of something so epic. when you use radiation power, your character transforms into chuck norris. but we'd have to make it so that you couldn't fail, because chuck norris cannot fail. it defies the laws of nature.

ROUNDHOUSE KICK POWER! if you get close to failing you could turn back into your own character, thefore you suck so bad chuck norris wants nothing to do with you and your failurel.

I liked nuclear power, but this is getting a little out of control. We obviously can't have transforming characters or Chuck Norris. Basically all of the suggestions after nuclear power were just silly. Also, there is more to this than just starpower.

dude no one was being serious after the nuclear power idea, mainly cos we dont have anything else to add. The rest is just idle banter between friends.
On topic, i like the nuclear power if only because it naturally invites a different color scheme which could be kinda awesome imo.

Sensay, I know that it was just some talk. I thought it was funny and fine, I just want the thread to get on topic now. I think nuclear might be a winner. Now we need ideas on how to incorporate that into the rest of he game
