Guitar Hero was a niche series that found incredible success in the face of considerable odds, so why did it fail, and where is it now?
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.
As the world reels from the shockwaves of the seismic news that Microsoft is acquiring the proverbial swamp of the video-game landscape, Activision Blizzard King, it only seems natural that our minds should now shift towards what the fallout will be for presumably years if not decades to come.
Another Prototype would be awesome.
As for Singularity, I don't necessarily need a sequel, I just want to see Raven be able to flex their creative muscle again; not just be relegated to assisting with CoD. A lot of the old guard is still with the company.
That's part of what I'm hoping to see come from this acquisition. Revive teams like Vicarious Visions and Ravem to actually allow them to work on their own new projects again.
I'd like to see Activision get the Transformers license again and continue the War and Fall of Cybertron games. the movie games were crap and the game that combined both movie and Fall and War of Cybertron sucked a new Prototype would also be good as well.
Re-imagining of River Raid and the original adventurer Pitfall. Oh Zork is also a great game.
Many fans are hoping for the return of Guitar Hero on the next-gen consoles (the PS5 and Xbox Series X).
Rock Band 4 is still going strong on PS4 my dudes with weekly DLC.
Harmonix is looking in to getting the instruments working on the next gen consoles. They've proven to be way more "into it" than the Guitar Hero series.
They should make a Remastered Collection of Guitar Hero 3, World Tour, and Guitar Hero Metallica. And a New Guitar Hero with good songs and classic gameplay, but new Graphics
still dead
How could this ever be described as a niche series
The reboot had some great ideas guitar hero tv was awesome but the new controller sucked
GH will go down as a timeless GEM. Even GH live was alright, GHTV was where it really shined, but still. Yeh the controller did not need to be redesigned, but once you get used to it, it is actually pretty damn fun. Sometimes feeling better than the original.
I think they just came out with way too many, way too fast and gamers got tired of it.
