Guitar Hero To Return Christmas 2012?

IGN’s Game Scoop podcast may have dropped a minor musical bombshell Friday afternoon; news that the Guitar Hero franchise may in fact not be dead!

First they say it's dead now their going to bring it back? WTF Bobby make up your mind.

[TurismoGTR]

I say make ONE LAST Guitar Hero but keep patching it wit new music.. let users add custom tracks.. etc

[mjolliffe]

The press release said they had killed it, but an executive later said it's probably just a rest for the franchise.

I'd expect it back within five years.

Money makes minds and people May be looking for a new one cause everyone doesn't follow news like we do.

[BLAKHOODe]

What they trying to do, convince people they didn't realize how good the game was until they thought it was gone?

If Activision wants to bring this series back to life - for starters, release one more installment that is absolutely fantastic. Then, release EVERY song that was exclusive to disc as discounted DLC or arrange so that people that have the old games can import the songs over to the new game. Follow that up by releasing GOOD DLC every week and not another new game for atleast 2 or 3 years. Basically, become Rock Band.

somewhere in your statement they wouldent be making enough money to fit koticks needs. hes money hungry, he knows that call of duty will sell no matter what,and thats all hes about.

[maxcavsm]

Agree. The way they're cutting absolutely everything back and hiring on Beachhead for even more CoD madness, I think we're going to have to change Activision to CoDivision here.

Up next: Call Of Duty/Guitar hero crossover.

GH just shat it self when Activi$ion made DLC....FOR EACH GH, NOT FOR ALL OF THEM TOGETHER!!!! RB is waaaayyy better. I play RB3 with the mayority of RB and RB2 songs. Plus Lego RB and RB Green Day songs...AAAND all the DLC that I have. I have 680+ songs on RB3. So...yeah...it's way better.

Activi$ion...do whatever you want.

[ShinraE5]

Your series failed, let it go. Rock Band was the blantantly better product in everyway which was one of the factors in the GH demise.

Try working on a new IP sometime, instead of milking your current series to death yea? Well, hopefully a better attempt at a new IP than that horrid driving/zombie mashup (cant remember its name).

They better make it with good music
