Thanks

ok thanks.. i just read at the bottom that there were no intel chips allowed, and i misunderstood it

Thanks.. and btw.. when does it get released?
 
It was supposed to release alongside the console release, but Aspyr said it was possible that it would be a couple weeks behind. IGN Used to say Oct. 29th, but now they are stating Nov. 12th, I expect it to be out then, which would be monday.

sorry if my 'no.' statement was confusing :D:apple:
 
Im hoping someone on here will risk it and buy Guitar Hero 3 to try on their macbook because i really! want it, and i am hoping it will magically work .. and seeing that i dont have any sort of game console the macbook is my only hope!!
 
Not 100% sure but I think I heard it was hybrid. (which is sweet BTW)

The copy I bought tonight at Best Buy is not hybrid. :(

The Mac version is still not yet released. I'm hoping that I'll be able to get with Aspyr to obtain the Mac installer once it's out.

I can't be otherwise helpful on questions, because I'm running a Mac Pro and don't have any other modern Macs to run it on. It's a pretty demanding game though; at some points with a lot of stuff going on, framerate dips kinda low in Windows even with the newest Catalysts. This is on a quad 2.6 with matched 2GB and an X1900, running on high at 1680x1050. However, that's not really a problem as they seem to have written it so that the audio and notes mostly remain constant even with the background video dipping into a bad framerate.

Hopefully the story is the same for those on the opposite end of the spectrum; as long as the audio and notes don't get messed up by dips in performance, everything should be chill.
