Wow this might be one of the best sites ever. Several LCD games scanned, recreated and playable in a browser! Wish there were more of Tiger's games though.

Bandfuse: Rock Legends came out today. Has anyone tried or seen it in person? I would go pick it up, if I wasn't short on funds right now. It uses a tabluture system instead of the note highway system akin to Rocksmith or GH/RB. Anyone else interested in the game?

Looks like later era GH to RS2014's RB.
Right down to featuring several songs already playable on the other platform and trying to get by on star power.
I'll be readily passing unless they do something neat that I haven't seen/heard yet.
Part of which is not using that ridiculous looking tablature format which I find more confusing than helpful once it hits solo town.
Something that apparently people realized when RB3 tried this before and Ubisoft unsuccessfully attempted it with RS.
My preferences would probably be to just grab a bunch of the DLC (or the PC version of RS, because custom songs SO GOOD) which makes the setlist differences pretty negligible.
(I have not played it or watched it played IRL, just going off of the various videos available online)

I do agree to some extent. I dislike how Bandfuse is using tabluture format, but that is more closer to actual learning guitar. Although I do kinda wish they would have stayed with the note highway system we're all used to. Still can't be that bad. I'll have to give it a try sometime.

As someone with minimal guitar experience pre-Rocksmith, I feel like I learned/would have learned more from the RS format than anything BF is likely to offer.
The note highway, while not totally "pure" in guitar format gave me the idea of how composition works, an understanding of a couple dozen chord types, and has given me the ability to understand tab sheets. I'm horrendously unprepared for writing my own shit, but that's what actual one-on-one lessons are for, and I don't quite see BF making that any easier. The note highway just seemed to be a good way to adapt the tablature format into something that works well in an interactive video game format. It doesn't really have to "teach you guitar", but it provides a good step off point and a "toe in the water" kind of experience that I feel other games of the type are lacking.
The BF format just seems like a confusing cluttered mess and a sizeable step backwards. There's too much shit flying by far too fast to get a grasp on what's happening. Tabs work better in a flat format for easy reading, and are easily studied before attempting to play. Seeing a bunch of multicoloured numbers whiz by at mach 8 doesn't lend itself too easily to understanding how the song progresses and makes sight reading a real pain. Not to mention the different effects (mutes, appregio, legato, vibrato, etc.) just don't seem as intuitive at-a-glance. The youtube videos I've seen (some of them from people in actual bands) frequently have the players playing considerably worse in BF than RS (or in performance), presumably because throwing a hundred numbers at you at once doesn't give you as much "data" about where your hands/fingers should be and where they should be going in a few moments. Which was probably the hugest improvement RS14 had over vanilla RS and it definitely helped me a bit there. BF by comparison seems to be 2 steps backwards from that.
It seems too confusing and user unfriendly for amateurs/complete beginners, and professionals can use any of the hundreds of sites that have tabs up to get the same experience (sans having to slow the whole thing down to read the tabs) or they can just read the sheet music if they're serious about "learning the instrument". I just don't really see who this game is for. Low-Mid range guitarists with plenty of money that have a violent hatred of Ubisoft? People who are incapable of taking a lesson, have no internet access, and yet are trying to greatly boost their ability to handle "traditional" charting methods? That guy who has to buy all of the gam- oh, hell. Looks like I might be the target audience after all.
So yeah, I kinda feel like BF would have frustrated the shit out of me and my gear would be collecting dust in the corner right around now (or I'd be hitting up youtube videos where people slowly walk you through riffs and such instead of playing the in-game songs once I tore through the help vids). Instead I feel like I got a decent-ish grasp of things and didn't hit anything too intimidating on the way there, which had the bonus of preparing me for the "actual guitar playing" bits without throwing me off a pier and expecting me to swim.
But what do I know /blatant fanboyism

I do consider your opinion and you bring up some good points. I haven't played BF yet, but I do own RS 2014 and enjoy it very much. It has greatly improved over the original RS in many ways. And yes I do agree that RS 2014 is probably the better option for any beginner guitarist. However I would like to play BF if I do get a chance, and see how it compares directly. I have seen some videos on youtube of BF as well, and I am somewhat confused by it as well. RS format of displaying notes and all the techniques such as harmonics, bends, palm mutes and so on are clearly indicated, however in BF, I can't really tell what note is what to be played, from watching the videos. However I have read recently that BF recently teamed up with Harmonix, the developers of the original Guitar Hero and Rock Band for DLC and whatnot. Which leads me to believe that BF may end up getting better DLC than RS, however I should also note that RS this time around has much better DLC then the original RS had.

It's amazing you mentioned that, since BF just had their first DLC related press release.
Motherfuckers got Hendrix.
Regardless of any other factors, I think the DLC is commendable. One would hope they can keep that up. Hell RS pulled up Radiohead for their first post-BF release. Competition is good for EVERYBODY.
Cookie Thief
I thought I'd mentioned DLC as well. Sure it's commendable, but I'm sure the DLC will bring some competittion from both sides. And Yes BF got Hendrix, hopefully at some point RS will get Hendrix as well.
