Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg comments on what it would take to bring back Guitar Hero.
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
Hideo Kojima is widely known as a video games auteur, but what are his best games outside the Metal Gear franchise?
Today it was announced that the gaming and anime industry has lost another beloved artist and creator. Mutsumi Inomata has passed away.
The Tales Of series are some of the best RPGs I've ever played, and the characters are a big reason for that. I don't think I played a single game in the series that I didn't enjoy. Rest in peace.
Damn, that sucks to hear... His designs were always wonderful.
Wow she was the character designer for Tales of Destiny one of my favorites of all time =(
I love the Tales games. Phantasia will always be my favorite. Ironically I felt like as the series progressed the character design became too “anime cliche.”
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.
