Marko from EGMR writes: "Guitar Hero is making a resurgence thanks to the new direction they’ve chosen to go in Guitar Hero Live. Instead of doing what Rock Band 4 did, which was stick to the same mechanics and just updating it for a new generation, they’re doing something completely new. A new controller with 6 buttons instead of 5 and the backgrounds and characters are now real people. The iconic guitar highway of their past games is gone and replaced with a completely different one. Back when it was announced, I thought it won’t be that different in terms of playing, but as I’ve learned at rAge 2015, I couldn't be more wrong."
Many video game franchises came and went during the 2010s, meeting ends ranging from sudden and surprising to drawn out and painful. Of them, these are 10 classic video game franchises that crumbled in the 2010s.
Metal gear was probably the worst way to end a franchise that was at one time the best out there, sad how that went down. Call of duty was good and it’s crapping out hard if u ask me. Uncharted ended right
Losing Dead Space and Silent Hill really sucks. Good horror games are hard to come by
I liked Killzone 2 and 3. KZ2 amazed me with the graphics. KZ3 refined the gameplay mechanics, although a small minority of fans thought the movement wasn't heavy enough like KZ2. I thought it was perfect
Some games force online-only measures onto people. It sucks! Especially when some titles, like these seven, 100% didn't need it.
With Rock Band 4 still chugging along and the actual teaching tool known as Rocksmith teaching guitar in a world where that music is a dying breed, there may not be another renaissance for the music gaming genre. Guitar Hero Live will likely be the last Guitar Hero game ever released.
