JoeC Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 (edited) I'm really enjoying Guitar Hero 3 on my PS3, but I'm just about completed it, and I'd like to play GH1 and 2, which I've never played. I have a 60gb UK PS3, and I'm wondering if the backwards compatibility will let me play them? So far, what I've found around the net is that: - Guitar Hero 1 works fine, but only with the GH1/2 controller - Guitar Hero 2 works fine except for hammer-ons and pull-offs, but only works with the GH1/2 controller - Encore: Rock the 80s works the same as GH2 Can anyone confirm that? Thanks :) Edited April 27, 2008 by JoeC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byransays Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 umm yes and no..... the playstation itself will play the game if your PS has backwards compatability but when it comes down to playing the games...the controller itself needs a "PS" button/"Home" button. i have a adapter that i use that lets me use my old wireless guitar to play GH2 its a Pelican PS2 to PS3 adapter with GH switch.... i guess there kinda hard to find anyways it contains a PS button so you can play the game, but none the less the controller if finicky for me, and i always have to jog the switch to get it to work(also tilt sensor doesnt work so to go into overdrive you need to press select all the time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byransays Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 see i dont have GH3 for PS3 so im not sure if that controller works on GH 1 and 2, hence I never mentioned anything about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 I'm fairly sure the GH3 guitar doesn't work on GH1/2 because Harmonix and Activision couldn't come to an agreement to share information on how the controllers work (or whatever, they didn't agree to something important to backwards compatibility :)) Basically wondering what I'd need to buy GH1/2/Rock the 80s on the PS3, if it's at all possible.
