Tom's Games: "In the first part of our Guitar Hero Generation series, Tom's Games looked at the studio behind the music games, WaveGroup Sound. Now we turn to more of the musicians that have been tasked with recreating classic tunes and popular songs for the Guitar Hero franchise.
Onboard to tell us about their Guitar Hero experiences are respected studio guitarists Steve Ouimette and Lyle Workman. Ouimette has been getting a lot of notice for his guitar wizardry on Guitar Hero III's version of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," and Workman has composed the soundtracks for "The Forty-Year-Old Virgin" and "Superbad," in addition to touring extensively as a guitarist for Sting and Beck. Both musicians explain how far Guitar Hero has come, and where they think the game is headed in the future."
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
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.
