Guitar Hero/Rock Band return?!

[EpitomeOfTruth 243]

Activision has confirmed that a new Guitar Hero is in the works and scheduled for release later this year. This is shockng news since oe was supposed to be released in 2011, however due to the poor sales of the predecessor Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, the project was scrapped. Now, 5 years later, Acivision believes its time to bring the muic and rhythm genre back.

 

Its also rumored that Rock Band will be returning as well, but this isn't confirmed.

 

What do you think about this news, and te music and rhythm genre as a whole. Do you think it shuld return, or stay dead?

I don't play these games, but I have watched my friends play them.

It's a pretty cool game and I like the music that is on it.

 

I'm excited to see a new game from this franchise.

I agree. I once tried vocals on Iron Maiden's "Wasted Years" in Rock Band 2. Nailed it PERFECTLY.

I don't want to brag. But i am a master in Rock Band 3 Vocals. I have over 600 Songs for this game, which i bought all legally and i still find people on the weekend who play it. What i always like to do vocals on are Rush songs.

 

A return of Rock Band would be awesome. There hasn't been a good music game in awhile and i think it's time for a comeback of the genre.

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,585]

YEAH! Three words. 

 

Rock Band: GWAR.

[EpitomeOfTruth 243]

I'm happy to see it come back as well. I've had lots of practice during the five year hiatus. I've gotten pretty good. As in, "I can beat any song on expert guitar" good. I've been itching for more for a while now.

Ha, those games were pretty fun for the time I admit, I still have my old guitar controllers up here somewhere.

 

Don't think its ever something I'll really get back into though. Fun at the time, but the novelty wore out soon enough for me. Also, constantly watching that moving fret interface always made my eyes feel funny...

Playing Guitar Hero: Metallica. Decided to take a short break for the forums, and I see this.

I hope the new games aren't XBOne/PS4 only!

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,585]

WAIT, BETTER...

 

Guitar Hero: GWAR. 

 

That's a game I wanna see.

[ReverseFaller 2,483]

I remember coming home on those rainy days after Church, and playing Rock Band with my parents. Ah, memories. If Rock Band, and or Guitar Hero gets a new release I'll probably buy it for nostalgia purposes.

[Yummychickenblue 301]

The bassist and drummer can have fun playing some dubstep.

Hope they don't drive this to the ground again, but knowing Activision, they probably will

[power strike 198]

omg i hope they do ! and hope they improved on the guitar that wont feel like cheap plastic i mean they can be plastic but not feel cheap though i just hope when they do decide to re relase it again i hope they wont keep repeating songs over and over again i think thats what killed the mood of the game just like cod haha XD

I sucked at Guitar Hero. However, my brother is amazing at it. If there's one thing I like about it, it's the selection of music they put; I've found some great songs and bands to listen because of that game.

[yeet 2,026]

They need a system of a dowm edition of guitar hero. Or the Rock band thing so vocals too xD

The Guitar Hero games after World Tour have guitar, bass, drums, and vocals.

[Ianpiersonjdavis 512]

If this is true, I won't get my hopes up-Activision drove Guitar Hero into the ground the first time around thanks to their over-saturation of the franchise and big corporations seldom learn from their stupid mistakes.

 

Even if a new Guitar Hero or Rock Band come out they will probably only be Xbone and PS4 exclusives, maybe they'll release them later on the Wii U later on, but I'm skeptical they'll be released for the 360 or the PS3 if they wait too long.

 

There is also the issue of instruments being super rare now, since most stores where I am don't carry them anymore-my brother recently had to driver up somewhere to get a drum set he paid for online, but hopefully with the new games they'll release new, sturdier instruments.

If there's gonna be a DragonForce song on the new GH, I'll be sure to record a run of me playing it on Expert Guitar. Despite not having played the game for around 2 years xD I would totally buy it btw, loved the game back in the days.

[Radiance64 7,051]

Exciting news! Looking forward to new songs(with hopefully more on disc than not) and hopefully an improved song creator(best part of the later GH games, imo).

[-Nobody- 514]

I hope GH comes back. I used to love the Guitar Hero series when I was younger.

those were awesome games while they were popular
