"Think back to when this whole Guitar Hero craze kicked off -- that moment when, standing there in front of the TV, plastic guitar in hand, it hit you: This must be what it feels like to rock out. And suddenly, you transformed. Your jaw set, you took an aggressive stance with the guitar neck pointed right at the screen, and your head started bobbing back and forth to the beat. A flood of all the songs you just had to play came to mind, but with such a powerful image born from watching countless hours of music videos, you knew, beyond any doubt, that this game was positively made for the 1980s. "
Activision's over-saturation of this once-great franchise has caused its demise.
These articles are a huge waste of time. NOBODY said anything about Guitar Hero dying until now so all of these articles are just looking for hits.
True, but now I'm just waiting for the inevitable death of COD......and Bobby Kotick.
Nah, CoD has time until it gets on the portable platforms. Then you know it's near the end.
Actually there was lots of talk about the death of Guitar Hero and the decline of the music genre before the decision was made to halt development of Guitar Hero and DJ Hero. The writing was on the wall when Warriors of Rock and Rock Band 3 failed to deliver.
Don't forget that Viacom sold off Harmonix after poor sales of Rock Band 3. The wheels were already in motion. People talking about it now are just trying to seem intelligent now that the predictions have come true.
I still think that Guitar hero had better song selection than Rock Band. That, unfortunetly didn't make it the better game though.
Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine answered a fan's question whether they were planning to make a Guitar Hero game. Here's his comments on the matter.
WorthPlaying writes, "Grammy Award-nominated American metal rocker and former White Zombie frontman Rob Zombie adds to his Rock Band DLC catalog (currently "War Zone") with three new tracks for the Rock Band platform, including "Dragula" and "Superbeast," from his debut solo album, Hellbilly Deluxe, as well as "Burn," from his new album, Hellbilly Deluxe 2, to be released Nov. 17. Zombie also has a film currently playing in theaters – Halloween 2, which he wrote, directed and produced."
