“It’s been a long time since a-rock n’ roll…” We borrow this line from the classic Led Zeppelin song because it certainly explains the dearth of music/rhythm “rock” games that we had in 2011. Sure, Rocksmith from Ubisoft helped fill the void, but it’s more of a learning tool than a direct competitor to the Rock Band/Guitar Hero throne. Let’s be honest, despite the fact the series was starting to get a little long in the tooth, we did miss our fill of Guitar Hero last year.
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.
that would be insinuating people would want a new guitar hero lol
Stay away from Rocksmith, that's what I want. It isn't a game, its a learning tool, and Guitar Hero isn't and never will be.
can we play with our normal controller like on the ps2? instead of buying those gimmicky guitar controllers.
