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

Yi-Long5414d 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!

jeseth5414d 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!

fear885414d ago

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

Caleb_1415414d ago

Well that didn't last long...

Greywulf5414d ago

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

Can't rely on it & only it.

Raven_Nomad5414d 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.

jeseth5414d 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.

Jobesy5414d 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.

nopunctuation5414d ago (Edited 5414d 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.

skrug5414d ago

guitar hero was not the 'original' ;)

it was konami's BEMANI series games

ie.
beatmania
guitar freak
drummania
etc

ainsz5414d ago (Edited 5414d 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!!!

SageHonor5414d ago

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

jacksonmichael5414d ago

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

Ser5414d 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.

NarooN5414d 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.

NovusTerminus5414d 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.

RankFTW5414d ago

Peter Jackson will be producing it.

dark-hollow5414d ago

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

LoneWanderer095414d ago

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

RankFTW5414d ago

Yeah like 6 months ago max.

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

galgor121d ago

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

PRIMORDUS121d ago

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead121d ago (Edited 121d 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

franwex172d 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.

Profchaos172d ago

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

bsingle40172d 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

dveio172d 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.

blacktiger171d ago

you need to stop saying "let see next year"
