Cheer loud enough, and the good bands always come back out for an encore. And more often than not that's when they rock the most epic performance of the night. It's a musical perfect storm: the crowd's fueling the adrenalin high; the band's not just warmed up; they're dialed in. And then the first note of a favorite song comes out and the place explodes. Whatever winds up happening down the line with the new games from the various teams that made Guitar Hero great, Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s reaches that climax right here, right now.
Activision's over-saturation of this once-great franchise has caused its demise.
These articles are a huge waste of time. NOBODY said anything about Guitar Hero dying until now so all of these articles are just looking for hits.
True, but now I'm just waiting for the inevitable death of COD......and Bobby Kotick.
Nah, CoD has time until it gets on the portable platforms. Then you know it's near the end.
Actually there was lots of talk about the death of Guitar Hero and the decline of the music genre before the decision was made to halt development of Guitar Hero and DJ Hero. The writing was on the wall when Warriors of Rock and Rock Band 3 failed to deliver.
Don't forget that Viacom sold off Harmonix after poor sales of Rock Band 3. The wheels were already in motion. People talking about it now are just trying to seem intelligent now that the predictions have come true.
I still think that Guitar hero had better song selection than Rock Band. That, unfortunetly didn't make it the better game though.
Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine answered a fan's question whether they were planning to make a Guitar Hero game. Here's his comments on the matter.
WorthPlaying writes, "Grammy Award-nominated American metal rocker and former White Zombie frontman Rob Zombie adds to his Rock Band DLC catalog (currently "War Zone") with three new tracks for the Rock Band platform, including "Dragula" and "Superbeast," from his debut solo album, Hellbilly Deluxe, as well as "Burn," from his new album, Hellbilly Deluxe 2, to be released Nov. 17. Zombie also has a film currently playing in theaters – Halloween 2, which he wrote, directed and produced."
