As if the week of rumors hasn’t ended, Slash all but confirmed Hendrix as one of Activision Blizzard’s next big hit Guitar Hero games in Rolling Stone Magazine says GameSpot. During the interview with Slash he explained that even “Hendrix will have one” speaking to a stand alone Guitar Hero title.
While Slash isn’t exactly Activision Blizzard’s mouthpiece, he’s probably got a bit of inside information in the industry and probably might not have wanted to say it, but he did. What does that mean to us gamers? Well, for Hendrix fans it means a potential must have Guitar Hero title.
For a few of us, it means another game we’re not going to pickup. Mainly because Guitar Hero is a great franchise when it diversifies its artist across multiple genre’s and multiple artists. It’s hard to doubt the monetary success of putting out a single-artist title game if the artist is as epic and respect as Jimmy Hendrix; a few gamers would surely burn their plastic Guitar Hero guitar to get their hands on this.
This is only a rumor but it’s a pretty solid concept for a real game so we’ll see how it goes. Personally, I’d rather see a full Disturbed Guitar Hero title.
It’s clear publishers like Electronic Arts hate to take risks on video games. They’re not alone in their opinion, look how many sequels we’ve got for the holidays compared to new creative titles like Little Big Planet, or how publishers push out sequels to hot titles until we can’t take it anymore; how many Guitar Hero titles will arrive before we scream “enough!”?
Re: Disturbed
Yeah, it would be “Land of Confusion”, and that’s it.
Color me confused….
You saying you only like that one song? Every song on Ten Thousand Fists is unbelievable, that doesn’t cover The Sickness and their cover of Shout.
Or, the 12 tracks on Believe like ‘Prayer’ one of their top songs. Then there is their newest album.
Wow, now that I think about it, Godsmack would also be a killer set, or Alice in Chains. But, nobody would be able to beat Disturbed… they only seem to show up on the truly hard/mastering stages as their music is pretty quick.
What can I say? I like Genesis covers. :p
Especially when they make it 100x more bad ass of a song.
I prefer the Genesis song – and video. Ronald Reagen Splitting Image puppet FTW!
