Fact Check: Is Guitar Hero dead?

Activision's public relations mogul Dan Amrich: Twitter is exploding with “I heard Guitar Hero is dead” and “RIP Guitar Hero” and stuff like that. Seems a little dramatic from my understanding.

Ditto. As soon as Guitar Hero: Aerosmith reared its ugly head, I knew it was all down hill from there.

NoobSessions5578d ago

Eh, I dont see why all the hate for Guitar Hero. I prefer it to Rock Band in most ways except presentation.

What I really love about it is GHTunes, which is where people can make their own custom songs and upload them for people to download for free... and some people come up with some pretty epic things.

Try playing the super marios theme, or pokemon battle music on guitar hero, and tell me its not epic.

The only games I'd buy are the main installments though, like II, III, World Tour, etc.

MRHARDON5578d ago

GH is dead :D

Now....next up is Call of Duty

ijkabob5578d ago (Edited 5578d ago )

for sure at this rate...

No innovation, glitchier with each realease and FLOODING the market to milk as much money as possible.

EDIT:
Oh ya, and 15$ map packs. No love for the fans, just greed.

TheDivine5578d ago

No but they only need one GH and then just add music for dlc. Keep the last one alive with new music but dont make more. Idc as ive never bought it or rock band but many people enjoy it.

LordStig5578d ago (Edited 5578d ago )

GH Metallica was the last good GH game, i traded 3 and world tour for rockband 1 and 2 but i still kept metallica.

Craptivisoin shouldnt have shit canned Guitar Hero. They should have just simply changed the name to either Guitars of Duty, or Call of Guitars. Then they could milk this shit even further with Drums of Duty, Call of Bass guitars and so on and so forth.

dlc packs to include Guitar ops: Too fn Loud.
Guitars of Duty: it goes to 11.
Call of Guitars: busting amps and eardrums.

Yeah, the Microsoft deal has DEFINITELY worked out for everyone.

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

PRIMORDUS124d ago

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.

Microsoft needs to listen or risk irreparable harm to Call of Duty

Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."

Because ms is so good at managing studios, surely they will get it right

:P

franwex174d ago

In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.

Profchaos174d ago

To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7

bsingle40174d ago

Nothing lasts forever, eventually something will come along to make people forget about COD

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite

dveio174d ago

Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.

But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.

The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:

Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.

They didn't.

Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.

blacktiger174d ago

you need to stop saying "let see next year"
