Survey reveals PS3 is 'teen favourite'The Guitar Hero franchise has been a hit success and the latest title has been flying off the shelves as the game proves to still be in great demand after being released a little over two months ago. Although Activision has put together a great formula for success, they are not ready to sit around and watch, or so says rock group, The Answer.
The unlikely announcement of the next Guitar Hero game came from the band after being picked out at the Marché international de l'édition musicale (or Midem conference) held at the end of January. Their song "Never Too Late" was picked by Activision and their panel of experts to be featured in Guitar Hero IV. Over 200 songs were submitted and 20 were picked including the one from The Answer.
The Answer are obviously excited to have their song in the game as the sales of the game and its downloadable content have boosted featured band's sales incredibly.
"This is a tremendous honour and privilege for both The Answer and the Alberts label," said James Cassidy, UK boss of music label Alberts. "With a new album due later this year we look forward to taking the band to a whole new level of international success."
Guitar Hero IV is expected to be released at the end of 2008.
that is soo friggin dumb they should just stick to the dlc seriously how much have the sequels changed, unless theres some groundbreaking new thing about the game theyre only trying to rack in the dollars while its a hot product, screw you activision
boycott. barely any DLC for gh3. crappy guitars. why should we keep buying crap. it took them about a month for their internet part of the game to work.
this blows seriously who wants to buy a game every half ayear
this is really crap the games should b out every 2years in my view coz they cnt have GHIII out for only half ayear then j get ride ofit for GH4 its balls!!!
i hope rockband dnt rob us n keep it around for about 2-3years lol mean with the sort of money these games cost they should b
psn id: gingo... nobody can expect them to wait a few years before bringing the next one out, every company wants to make money and they may aswell do it while the frenchise is strong
The problem is it does not take too long to out play them, where you hate all the songs, because you have heard them to death. So it is nice to see a new one with new songs, but thish is crazy. Too soon, and I don't have much interest in a forth one.
I would buy another game if it has like 70 songs, c´mon, it will cost 50 -60 bucks, for DLC each song is 2.99, that would be about 200 bucks for as many songs, DO THE MATH!!!
I say bring it on... just make the ps2 titles playable on ps3.
I'm not buying it, or any other Guitar Hero came. Ever. They completely screwed over the people who actually got it on it's ORIGINAL SYSTEM, and Activision just wrecked everything. I'm sticking with Rock Band, because they don't even need a sequel, they just release the new songs people want. I hate Activision for what they did to Guitar Hero, and I'm not investing into something to be screwed over for, like they did.
Uhh to battle rockband I assume? They should just stick to releasing DLC.
too soon...
originallity in the game industry is dieing..... gahh THATS WHY I CANT WAIT TO BE A DAMN GAME DESIGNER!!!! ive had amazing ideas sence i was 8....
BOYCOTT---- since activision wont let you use your gh3 guitar for anything else but their game, screw them. i have RB and GH3 and RB at least has better songs and harmonix seems like their more interested in keeping customers happy. stop being idiots activision. BOYCOTT GH!!!
i sold my guitar hero 3 to my roomate for 160$ cuz i bought RB and it totally destroys GH , i know there are some hardcore GH fans will get pi$$ed but wutever , RB has wayyy better songs plus new songs every week! and on top of that half the songs on GH i have never even heard of and they suck! i dont wana play songs from nobody bands especially when they called the game Legends of Rock! activision could have at least put more then like 3 legends!
The new one should be, "Guitar hero 4 Music of Today".
They need to stop the cycle of annual sequels of games if anything they should focus on bimonthly DLC for games like Guitar Hero.
Screw it Rockband is where its at.
Bring on more GH games and get rid of DLC. I'm sick of seeing people pissing away $3 a song for what should be a full game. I don't mind paying $60 for a bunch of songs. $60 = 20 PSN songs. No wasted hard drive space and you can take them anywhere. And you can still keep your guitar. And the guitars are about due for a little redesign. Nothing major just make the buttons a bit bigger. Maybe put the two buttons somewhere easier to reach.

I just hope they keep a decent mix of metal in there. Once Fallout Boy appears in GH, I'm done. Forever. I'll go to RockBand. From what I've seen, RB has a bit better selection of songs, even if their guitar feels really loose. Plus my girlfriend is good at the drums.
I can see this being another rehash just like what they do with DDR
