Activision announced today that Guitar Hero is no more... at least for the time being. But what do the IGN Editors think? Let's find out.
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
The Guitar Hero franchise died in the wake of Activision's lust for Call of Duty, but we should be dusting off those plastic guitars for a new Guitar Hero game.
Guitar Hero was good. The problem was Activision started creating many versions. Guitar Hero had the every one year cycle like COD and people felt they were being robbed.
Why in the hell would one want to spend time to learn a button mashing order when you can lean to play a real guitar in the same time frame.
As the world reels from the shockwaves of the seismic news that Microsoft is acquiring the proverbial swamp of the video-game landscape, Activision Blizzard King, it only seems natural that our minds should now shift towards what the fallout will be for presumably years if not decades to come.
Another Prototype would be awesome.
As for Singularity, I don't necessarily need a sequel, I just want to see Raven be able to flex their creative muscle again; not just be relegated to assisting with CoD. A lot of the old guard is still with the company.
That's part of what I'm hoping to see come from this acquisition. Revive teams like Vicarious Visions and Ravem to actually allow them to work on their own new projects again.
I'd like to see Activision get the Transformers license again and continue the War and Fall of Cybertron games. the movie games were crap and the game that combined both movie and Fall and War of Cybertron sucked a new Prototype would also be good as well.
Re-imagining of River Raid and the original adventurer Pitfall. Oh Zork is also a great game.
The graphics for the series never changed since the original xbox and PS2 era, except make it HD. I swear they are using the same game engine for the past 6 years. Here is a word of advice. How about not putting out two games a year for the series. They over saturated the market with this game. Aren't they doing this for another series they may run into the ground?
Warriors of rock suffered from split personality and no focus. It was only a matter of time. Plus the dj hero soundtracks were garbage and missed opportunities.
good. hopefully that entire fad will fall out... I never was it's biggest fan.. or any of those games..
those guitar games are pretty stupid too... it was solely about revenue after game 1 hit big..... just imagine all the chumps they got on 3 song track packs... hah
good now i just wonder if cod will go down this road
