Why would Apple allow this but not allow games to require a normal controller?
It's always been about how big you are as a company. The small guy gets stomped on, while the big guys get to play. Remember when they removed all the bikini apps, but left Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and Playboy?
Im wondering this as well. I ended up downloading the game and sure enough, you cant get past the intro screen without a guitar (tried siri remote and a controller).
I think it's open to anyone. As long as you have at least 25 million users or more.
IDK - GH seems like a kinda unique situation. Would be great if it worked with the new remote.
I think that restriction just means you can't have a game that works with an MFi gamepad but not with the Siri Remote. They've always allowed apps that require special peripherals. I think they were just trying to prevent lazy ports of controller-based games.
The problem is that theres plenty of controller based games that simply dont work as well with the siri remote.
Of course there are. I have several, and I have a good MFi gamepad.
Apple doesn't want those games in the store without at least token siri remote support, and I don't see them changing their mind about this.
The same basic restriction has been in the iOS app store for ages; games there can't require MFi controllers and must support a touch interface, at least on a token level. But many aren't really playable without a gamepad (which is why I owned an MFi gamepad before I owned an ATV4).
So far I havent run into any game that really wasnt playable with the touchscreen. Not as good as with a controller perhaps, but far better than what the siri remote gives you. To the point that I didnt buy a remote until after the apple tv was announced (and I was going on a trip and wanted it for the flights with my iPad)
because apple doing whatever the hell they want if they going to break the rules on this....
they might as well remove the 200mb limit and I not going out to buy no guitar for one game..(common sense is lost if i do this) only one I would buy is one with strings. I think the people who play this game and have fun in the videos paid to laugh and play along. This game will go same way as tap tap revenge...I do miss that game though.
What has the 200mb limit impeded you from playing/watching on your TV?
am not saying its impeded me am saying it might have put some developers off from making apps...for the tv
You realize apps can use more than that, right?
Because clearly no one enjoyed any of the previous guitar heroes (or the new one on other platforms. Its the same game)
/s
To each their own.. Alot of negative feedback in the ios reviews mainly over price.
Which as far as I know is, again, the exact same price as the other platforms for the exact same game and controller.
This is so dumb, everyone buys the fucking controller for this one game. That is how it has been for every console it's been released on.

your not just buying the controller at £89.95 your also buying the game at £40 which rougly makes it the same price as the 32gb apple tv but like I said to each their own

The price of the Apple TV is completely irrelevant. If you expect console quality games you should also expect their price. But, it's also okay to think it's too much, I'm just saying.
As I understand it, the app itself is free and comes with a couple demo songs. Unlocking the whole playlist is an in-app purchase, OR comes free with the purchase of the controller.
So it's: buy the controller for $100, or the in-app purchase to play the whole game without the controller for $40-something.
That's been the Guitar Hero model for the last 10 years.
(Yeah, folks. Guitar Hero was first released in 2005. You're OLD.)
