Last summer Guitar Hero: Aerosmith became the first in the series of Guitar Hero games to be primarily devoted to just one band. Guitar Hero: Metallica became the second just a few short weeks ago. The trend is not likely to slow down and there are still many iconic bands looking to capitalize on the success of video games in a struggling music industry. PWN or DIE selected five of those rock bands that they do not feel need their own game.
It’s been nearly a decade since the release of the last Guitar Hero game. Is time running out for Guitar Hero, or are we closer than ever to the long-awaited reunion tour on the PS5 and Xbox Series X? As it turns out, we might soon see the return of a rock giant — at least, if modern gaming trends are to be trusted.
I just don’t see this being nearly as popular as it was back in the day. These kids are way too attached to phones and tablets to care about plastic guitars and drums. Would be cool if it did return but I just don’t see hype for it like the good old days of gaming.
I would gladly buy a guitar hero collection or just guitar hero 2 again on series X or ps5.
Most likely answer is both platforms because why leave out 60-70 million platform gamers
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.
I don't think any band "needs" their own Guitar Hero game.
DD works perfectly for downloading songs and it eliminates any need for swapping discs.
Release these featured bands as track packs , at a cheaper cost to the consumer, more profit for the publisher and a more eco-friendly method.
Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Lips and Singstar (which is absolutley notorious for disc based releases that are not neccisary and you are unable to rip to your HDD) should be using their games as PLATFORMS!
The one game that would kick any other Guitar Hero's ass would be Guitar Hero: Led Zeppelin. Why haven't they come out with this yet?
gh aerosmith was completely unnecessary.
