... I sure that surprised absolutely no-one at all(!)

Yi-Long5076d ago

... that -'m- after the I that's 'missing' in my first post...

That's not actually missing. That's DLC that will be added later for some extra money ofcourse!

jeseth5076d ago

All BS and Activision hating aside . . . Guitar Hero is a lot of fun.

They need to get back to GH2 and Legends of Rock . . . Better Create a Character and amazing playlist.

I am actually excited to see what happens!

fear885076d ago

Isn't it just a little too early to reboot a series that has only been canned for ONE YEAR?

Caleb_1415076d ago

Well that didn't last long...

Greywulf5076d ago

Its a smart move considering what BF3 is going to do to COD..

Can't rely on it & only it.

Raven_Nomad5076d ago

Hows selling 20 million copies less then COD going to do anything?

On topic, glad they are rebooting it. There is a lot of potential there. Just need to offer a lot of variety when it comes to songs.

jeseth5076d ago

What's BF3 going to do to MW3 except for proove that N4G DOES NOT represent the majority of the gaming populous.

MW3 is going to rape, $h&T, and P!$$ all over BF3 in sales.

Jobesy5076d ago

Lol graywulf got owned. COD has nothing to worry about from BF. Never have never will. I'm glad to know Graywulf won't be polluting my MW3 experience. Keep the kids on BF where they belong.

nopunctuation5076d ago (Edited 5076d ago )

Im actually pretty happy about this. I know N4G has a hatred for the series but it was the original and Rock Band was the knock off of its own game. Warriors of Rock was good at its core and deserved more DLC support. Guitar hero needs to be a part of gaming, we jusut need to see a little less of it this time. Band based games are welcome, just dont pick a band that constantly bickers so much they they cant even be a part of the game coughVanHalencough. Also dont pick any bands where you are strumming once a minute like in the beatles rock band (terrible game. good band). Instead, make a guitar hero megadeth. Dave mustaines solos would be fun to play.

skrug5076d ago

guitar hero was not the 'original' ;)

it was konami's BEMANI series games

ie.
beatmania
guitar freak
drummania
etc

ainsz5076d ago (Edited 5076d ago )

While I agree GH can be alot of fun. Harmonix created Guitar Hero 1 & 2 (2 is in my opinion the best). Then Activision let Harmonix go and they joined EA and they continued their series under the Rock Band name.

Guitar Hero was then continued by Red Octane and Neversoft. So in a way, Rock Band is the original.

Soooo... We have to reboot Guitar Hero now?

Wow, what the f*ck is going on with the industry anymore?

STOP REBOOTING GAMES!!!

SageHonor5076d ago

Wow, the gaming industry is alot more similar to the movie industry than I previously thought..

jacksonmichael5076d ago

No... reboot games that actually deserve it. Dino Crisis...?

Ser5076d ago

YES! I would absolutely love a new Dino Crisis! Although...I think I'd hold out for the "Ultimate" edition since it's a Capcom franchise.

NarooN5076d ago

Yeah reboot it. Just bring Regina back and don't try to sex her up too much and make her do backflips off of 20-story buildings or some stupid shit.

NovusTerminus5076d ago

No game made within the last 5 years or is already popular needs one, for underground or forgotten titles like DC, then by all means. But rebooting Guitar Hero is like rebooting CoD. It is needless.

RankFTW5076d ago

Peter Jackson will be producing it.

dark-hollow5076d ago

rock band killed it long time ago and i hope BF3 does the same with COD.....

LoneWanderer095076d ago

Wow i still remember reading the article when Guitar Hero got terminated XD

RankFTW5076d ago

Yeah like 6 months ago max.

While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.

P_Bomb22d ago

Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

MrBaskerville21d ago

Is the retro classics for all consoles?

Obscure_Observer22d ago

Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o

Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!

We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!

Deathdeliverer22d ago

It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!

babadivad21d ago

Just finished Clair Obscur. This should be fun.

Should have been a console game, right now would have been a good time for a new Guitar Hero.

1Victor102d ago

Time to revive all those popular franchises that are easy to monetize with micro transactions and nothing is easier than music games where they’ll charge you $5- 10 for 2- 5 songs.
