Vooks - Story: Activision announce Guitar Hero 5, Band Hero and DJ Hero

I like how the Guitar Hero franchise has its own CEO.

This is getting to be borderline ridiculous. It feels like Activision's releasing a new title every few months.

Well, let's just hope the songlist ends up being promising.

Yeah, over saturation isn't really a good thing.

Good geesh with milking the franchise.

Well, time to go update the DJ Hero thread.

That controller looks way less fun than Scratch's.

Also, I will bet good money that Band Hero doesn't sell so hot this year. Kids are already allowed to play Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

Has Scratch's been announced/revealed yet? I wanna see what it looks like.

Some tracks that will be in the game (from the headline post (go read that for more info, I'm too lazy to copy it all)):

The Rolling Stones – Sympathy for the Devil
Bob Dylan – All Along The Watchtower
The White Stripes – Blue Orchid
Santana – No One To Depend On (LIVE)
Vampire Weekend – A-Punk
Tom Petty - Runnin Down a Dream
Johnny Cash – Ring of Fire
Kings of Leon – Sex on Fire

I have to admit, Party Play (& some other features) sounds awesome (if someone is playing a song & you want to jump in, then simply plug the controller in, choose your diff., & you can start playing ALL WHILE THE PERSON IS PLAYING THE SONG). So no more quitting the song so your friend can jump in & play.

plus having 3 people on lead guitar would be pretty sweet if this has any badass songs

DMW7243 · 05-19-2009, 08:08 AM

LOL 4 drums would get pretty difficult/noisy if you got one or more that are good plus one or more that just bang and suck.

Since I know the PS2 and PS3 can go up to 7 Players, I wonder if its possible to have 4 Singers, Guitar, Bass, and Drums?

But I wonder if there will still release a PS2 version of GH5?

BITCH I LOOK LIKE GOKU · 05-19-2009, 07:37 PM

I want the option for doing backup vocals while playing another instrument. Sleepwalker would be a perfect example of that.

"Band Hero" seems like a name that a knockoff game would use. Activision will have to put 'from the makers of Guitar Hero' on the box to avoid confusion imo

The problem is that they(presumably) make enough money off of each release that they don't give a damn about sacrificing the quality of their games.

One thing they really should have are difficulty ratings for each song, especially since they will all be unlocked from the get go.

I think with all the current milking happening, people are gonna know straight up that if a game has the word "Hero" in it, 99% chance it's related to GH. :P
