Guitar Hero no more

<< < (2/3) > >>

Ikrik:
Because EA's philosophy used to be what Activison's is right now.  EA now takes the stance of "we need to make our games good." and we've seen them introduce new IPs that are of a good quality.

What I think is hilarious about their press release about killing Guitar Hero and DJ Hero is that they've said that they're shifting their attention to CoD.  There are now....I believe over 4 development teams working on CoD.  The ashes of Infinity Ward, Treyarch, Sledgehammer, Raven (presumably) as well as another.  And you know what, I'm happy that Guitar Hero is dead.  I'll also be ecstatic in 3 years when people are sick of Call of Duty and that dies too. 

I used to boycott Activision products because I really, really hate what they're doing to the industry.  It's been really easy because Activision hasn't released anything that I'm even mildly interested in.

Blue Kitty:
Guitar Hero is dead, long live Guitar Hero.


But really good riddance. In the beginning it was something, but the end it was a shallow form of it's old self.

They do? I thought most everybody was hip to Activision being the new most evil dudes in town

I guess people who really loved Bullfrog and Maxis have bones to pick.

Lupercal:
Only good thing that came from Guitar Hero was their ridiculous "replacement service" where you give them the code from your faulty/broken instrument and they send you a new one. I got about 5 guitars and a drum kit out of that thing, free of charge.

It was bound to die sooner or later. DS version bombed, and after everyone has a guitar, then a wireless guitar, is there any point in getting new hardware?

Rock Band was the lesser of the two evils, I think that dedicated artist games were a good idea (although once you've done The Beatles there's noway any other game will sell as well)
