Guitar Hero III coming to the Mac this year

I haven't seen any min system requirements yet for the mac verson even on aspyr's site. By any chance could you link me up?

Also, I saw there a comment that they were trying to make is as accessible to as many players as possible which I hope would mean that it wouldn't be intel only. I'd so freakin' cry because I want this so badly and my mac isn't an intel based one...

What are the chances that Guitar Hero 3 will run on a 1.66 GHz Dual Core Mac Mini with integrated graphics? I was checking the system specs on Aspyr's site and it isn't looking too good. I have the Mini hooked up to my Plasma HDTV so it's the perfect set up for the game... just worried it is lacking the horse power.

Ben:

Instead of playing GTA, why not just turn into a REAL mass murderer?

Insterad of playing PES2008 etc. etc. etc.

To me, this will be a sweet addition to a 24-inch iMac.
I have a 20 inch and I will be purchasing this when it comes out, I could buy it for my Wii but I just love the idea of having something like that on my Mac. However, I couldn't imagine it on anything smaller then a 20-inch widescreen, and when I look around my college campus, I'm gonna assume that alot of Apple users that this game is aimed towards are carrying 14 inch iBooks. That said, I don't know how well this kind of game will do on mac, but other than Warcraft, what does?

@Matteo
Is't the ATV just a scaled down mac with another frontend?
If I have understood that correctly you could just make a discimage of the GH dvd and start to play.

@boatofcar

I completely agree with you that the user base is small for the AppleTV. But theoretically it would make a lot of sense to play GHIII from the TV in the living room...
Apple would have to help Aspyr to port GHIII on the ATV to make it feasable.

I still maintain my opinion that games, software (Widgets for the ATV), on these platforms: iPhone, iPod Touch, Apple TV will be released when Leopard is out (because they actually are build aroud "versions" of Leopard and SDKs will be out for all devices together with Leopard.

So Aspyr and other developers will receive the Apple SDK for ALL Leopard devices at the same moment.

Matteo, I think Aspyr would port GHIII to the iPod before the Apple TV. Think about it, why waste time and energy on a port with such a small userbase? Of course, the same could be said for making a Mac port at all, but I digress...

How cool would it be if Apple would allow Aspyr to create Guitar Hero for the APPLE TV?!?

That would help boost sales of Apple TV. From a purely technical point of view it seams feasable, since Guitar Hero doesn't look like a 3D intensive game or a CPU intensive one. But I've never played so I cannot tell.

Anyway, why not release Guitar Hero for the APPLETV? Come on Apple, if ATV is a hobby, then treat it as such...

Heh, Ben, that's the typical response. It's valid, but Guitar Hero doesn't have the learning curve that real guitar has, and so it's more immediate fun. That said, I'm not sure that a Mac, or PC version of this game will really do that well. The fun of the game is getting in front of a decent sized TV with your buddies, and rocking out. At least to me. I dunno, it just seems like more of a console game than many others.

Why not just learn to play the guitar?
