Guitar Hero = Game Over!

[DotKritic]

Guitar Hero series is coming to an end. What was your favorite Guitar Hero game?

Despite early success, the series, along with the overall rhythm game genre, suffered from poor sales starting in 2009, and in early February 2011, Activision disbanded further development of the series.

added:

Activision had announced a PlayStation Portable title for the Guitar Hero series that would feature a drum component. However, the game never materialised prior to the cancellation of the series.

edit: Just realized this is in the wrong forum. Been a long day.

Halo and Call of Duty are going to be next. They've been around long enough so something is going to have to replace them.

I think it should be like...A big thing I guess you could say. Not "Oh I have an idea. *6 months later* new game"

Is Rockband still being made? If so hopefully they adopt Guitar Hero's good equipment.

[nois-or-e]

Guitar hero's equipment is good? Go the logitech gear all the way imo. Their guitars and drums are to ****ing die for.

[duddychuck@yahoo.com]

Has anybody tried the ion drum set for rock band?

[who_cares973]

Stopped caring for guitar hero a while ago. What makes me mad/sad was that dj hero is also stopped

[gattsta]

The reason for the stop is because they wanna focus on more "Mainstream" games, like big games to make more money with. Activision is going to work on more COD, starcraft, and WOW.

Rock Band is unaffected.

lol
I'm friends with the GH world record holder guy on FB -- it's funny because his wall was utterly trollspammed with this news
"HEY DID YOU HEAR"




Seriously though, this news doesn't surprise me. The entire franchise has had extremely obvious and significant diminishing-returns.

its what happens when you milk something

Damn do I hope for that.

But there have been way too many GH's. I only ever bought 1 and that was Metallica because I knew it was a game my dad and I could enjoy together [past times of him and I in the car at night blasting Mandatory Metallica on our radio station].

Personally preferred Rock Band all along. Didn't like the guitars for GH because of how separated the buttons were. I have little hands so it didn't help >.> yay for the lower and smaller buttons of the RB guitars :3
