Eight Guitar Hero Games in 2009?

[Arsen]

The one thing I can't stand about these games is that all the kids who play them at a young age will only remember them as "Guitar Hero songs" and not as genuine pieces of art.

Sad that it has come to that.

That's why I love Harmonix, Yahtzee be damned

Harmonix seem to actually love working on their games as evidenced by better interface, very frequent DLC releases and whatnot. The GH guys are just like "dude, just give us your money"

Who would you rather listen to; The Beatles or Metallica?

ummmm Metallica?

 

[kkthegrunt]

*headdesk* Make *headdesk* it *headdesk* stop *headdesk*

 

[JMWahrer]

get a new francize

I'm still waiting for Guitar Hero: Metalocalypse

Which would basically have every song hardwired to expert.

It would have a new hierarchy of difficulty, with expert being the easiest.

Who would you rather listen to; The Beatles or Metallica?

ummmm Metallica?

Yeah, Metallica.

They're not coming for the PS2? Idiots.
I'll have to get a PS2-to-USB adapter. Ugh.

next up is 'Music Appreciator Hero' The game where you play a music critic and listen to new pop songs and press the 'nod in agreement', 'shake head in disbelief', 'tap hand on desk' and 'various grunting noises' buttons along with your favourite tracks!

honestly, dj hero?

 

[c0rtha]

damn you GH all i want is a guitar simulator game with good songs on it
not 30 different games with two songs on them

 

[neoman10]

My God....What have we done?

*bang* *Thump*


hmmm, might buy Van Halen but the others.....and modern music is horrible dont encorage it

*listens to some Jimi Hendrix*

 

[Valiance]

The only thing that looks remotely interesting on that list is DJ Hero.

It'll probably end up being a home-version of Beatmania anyway... :/

 

[[Gavo]]

Just give me GH: The Clash, Black Sabbath, and the Beatles and I'll shut up about the franchising.

This reminds me of what Activision did to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
until the series died.(In my opinion American Wasteland is where things
really started going downhill,
but Proving Ground was the last nail in the coffin.)

Wasn't it Neversoft that did the Tony Hawk games? If that's the case, then perhaps they milked that series so dry they needed a new series to milk to the bone, hence the "passing of the guard" from Tony Hawk to Guitar Hero.

I'm wondering now when it was that they jumped the shark with the GH series...

 

[Kirosilence]

I can almost feel my wrist cramping just thinking about it..

 

[letsnoobtehpwns]

Guitar Hero 1 was amazing, Guitar Hero 2 came from the gods, Guitar Hero 3 still great. Then there was two expansion packs (which suck) a spin-off and a piss poor attempt to make the Rock Band (anyone else find it wierd that you can sing or play drums in a game that's based on being a guitarist, it's like being a weapon sales man in a shooter like Call of Duty 4). Well, Rock Band is going to dry up soon and then music games will have no where else to run and eventually suck.

 

[Arkfeller]

DJ Hero? What will THAT come with, I wonder?

EDIT: Plastic turntables.

As a fan of the Guitar Hero games, and apparently the only person on this website who likes GHWT, I have to say that this is bullshit. There is no way they can release 8 titles in one year and expect them to satisfy the fans. I guess they think that if you make x amount of money with one title a year, you can make 8x money with 8 titles a year. Too bad that no one is stupid enough to buy the same game 8 times a year.

What the hell is "Band Hero" and how is it going to be any different then world tour in practice? Come up with some original deals and stop milking this series to death!

Also include some decent Coldplay music.
