Gospel. Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 So apparently ACTIVISION is doing away with the Guitar Hero series of rhythm games. Whether it's due to low sales, or too much competition from Rock Band. Anyway, this video seems to cover it better than anyone else so far. Personally, being a competitive GH and RB player, I'm pretty bummed while some RB fans rejoice saying "yay! now GH exclusive DLC will go to Rock Band!" which, under the circumstances bands might want to have songs put into Rock Band now that Guitar Hero's gone.

'tyleR Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I always preferred GH to Rock Band. I also preferred DJ Hero to both, even though I didn't have the money to afford my own DJ Hero set. It's quite sad to see Activision do away with all of that, and quite honestly, I think it was kind of a bad move to cancel DJ Hero 3. That's just my opinion, though. It's also quite sad to see all those jobs go out. :// I feel pain for everyone who has/is going to lose work because of this decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taichi Masaki Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Well I really did like GH, but as long as there still somewhat a game like it, I'll live. Without these sort of games, I would barely know any of these songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 TBH, there are only so many great songs that you want to guitar/drum/sing too. Personally when I looked at the (abysmal) songlist on game 5, I knew the end was coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAG Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 They've stated that the Guitar Hero franchise is being canned due to low sales as of recently. The demand simply isn't there anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Rock Band 2 and Rock Band 3, both amazing games, kind of outdid all of the Band Hero and Guitar Hero 5 crap that Activision was spewing out in recent months. I didn't expect them to die, but I did expect a Rock Band takeover. I don't really mind, I'm happy with my Rock Band 3 stuff, really. But it sucks to see that the original guitar-video-game company is going out of business. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scanty&Kneesocks Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 [quote name='TAG' timestamp='1297389565' post='5001965'] They've stated that the Guitar Hero franchise is being canned due to low sales as of recently. The demand simply isn't there anymore. [/quote] ^ This I'm also sad that DJ Hero is being canned too because I enjoy it, but electronic/hip-hop is not as big as a market that rock is; and even those who enjoy it just see it as a cheap rip off of Guitar Hero and don't bother playing it. (even if the game IS fun.) but I'm ok as long as Beatmania IIDX keeps ***tting out new games every year for me to import (still waiting for a PS3 Beatmania :/) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Activision is notorious for doing this to franchises, just look at Tony Hawks Pro skater, they've released a new title for it almost every year to the point that people are sick of playing 60$ for the same game (see; Call of Duty). Now all Activion has left is Call of Duty, and whatever Blizzard spits out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catman25 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Yeah, I stopped keeping track of GH after 4. Why not just make a last megagame, with downloadable tracks whenever another song is used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
