"As go the real guitars, so go Guitar Hero controllers, and hot on the heels of that axe with integrated visualizer we just saw, Cyberpyrot over at the AcidMods forums has managed to stuff a seven-inch LCD with touchpanel overlay into a GHIII controller. The LCD shows a mirror of the game itself, but its location means that the strummer had to be replaced with a magnetic switch controlled by a metal "pick." The touch overlay allows players to activate the whammy simply by sweeping across the screen, and Cyberpyrot says the next step is to add optics so the guitar can play itself. That ought to add some fuel to the real-guitar-vs-Guitar-Hero debate, we think."
The top-selling third-party games of all time across consoles include GTA V, Call of Duty, and Guitar Hero.

In the summer, we all do things that cool us off. That’s just conventional wisdom. But what if we’ve been going about it all wrong? What if the solution is leaning in to the heat, diving into even hotter activities to show the summer we’re not scared?
Let’s beat summer at its own game here. Whether you want to murder your way through hell or skate over it, gaming has got you covered.
COGconnected - It seems like the era of rhythm game dominance has come and gone but we argue that there's still room for them if they make a few key changes.
No we DONT need guitar hero or rockband. These games have had 7+titles each console cycle and Im tired of these being the mainstream and practically only focused on musical game.
Amplitude was brought back for PS4 yet with the tech and magic of DLC we didnt get it because not only gamers but devs have become out of touch.
Thumper impressed many and is at least a step in the right direction. I rather have more games like thumper. So screw all this rockband and Guitar hero BS! Take your guitars and peripherals and break them in half!

I preferred the patapon games but yeah. We need rhythm games to come back this gen
I have to ask.... why?????
that actually looks kind of cool
First of all.. why is the LCD screen upside down? When I first saw it I thought, ok this way the guy doesn't need a TV, he can just keep his head down like a sobbing idiot and play off of that... BUT IT'S UPSIDE DOWN!
Seriously... this is the equivalent of me turning a blender into a portable washer machine for socks... sure it's possible... but why the hell do it?
very dumb mod. i thought because it was touch you could strum it like that ds game jam sessions. if the fat ass could get it to do that it would be interesting but as it is now it seems to work worse(strumming in a weird spot) and it doesnt actually aid you because you cant see it while playing.
TO THE KID THAT MADE IT: HAVE MORE SEX. YOU CANT DO WORSE THAN THIS. OR CAN YOU?
just keep it on the wii
