Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg comments on what it would take to bring back Guitar Hero.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
WHERE MY DIABLO 3 GOLD BOBBY KOTICK ???????????
ha!
"Guitar Hero used to be a yearly thing for Activision"
Umm, no. At first it was, but after Guitar Hero 3 (which is by far my favorite), they started doing 2 a year. And then come 2009 or so, and early 2010, they had between 3 and 5 in a single year. That's what killed the franchise. I would love to see the series come back, but it needs to be toned down a SHIT load. One a year is fine, but I would prefer to see 1 every 2 years, and with each game, just release songs as cheap DLC like Rock Band does. That's why Rock Band doesn't have nearly as many games as Guitar Hero, they kept releasing songs for one game, and it's still successful today as Rock Band Network. That's the correct way to go about it. Sport game developers should take note of this, and just update rosters every year for like 10 dollar DLC, but of course they will never do that.
they killed the genre giving the people a poor product and now they are talking about maybe doing it again?!?!?!
Wow that would kinda be a shocker if they return.
