StickSkills.com writes, "Guitar Hero is a series that will be in a special part of a music loving gamer for quite awhile, regardless of how much the general public feels the series has been milked. While Activision has stated that the gaming world won’t see a Guitar Hero title for at least this year, it’s a safe bet to say that the series will return in one form or another."
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.
Yes, it has returned - as Rock Band.
Harmonix made Guitar Hero famous, remember?
I agree, Guitar Hero is not dead.
However it is being milked beyond belief.
Though I believe DLC is the best way for this series to go. Considering half of the games never added anything new except for a different setlist.
Neithers Elvis.
I think that GH was always the lead in hardcore options, even if they lagged behind on new peripherals. They have multiple hyperspeed settings, options to turn off the background business, and they allow hyperspeed during practice mode. Rock Band has none of those. They did add in pro mode and the new keyboard, but all of those options are still missing, which is kind of a major bummer.
I think if Guitar Hero takes a well-deserved break, and just sits and thinks about how to push the boundaries like Rock Band always does, and still includes all the options for the leaderboard whores who still love GH, then they could make a real comeback.
i started hating the series since they released metallica
