Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades ... a sequel
Over 350,000 units sold in three weeks ... on a handheld? You're damn straight Activision is already booking a second tour -- call it: Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades. The sequel to last month's (yeah, last month's!) palm-packed jam session was confirmed today during the Nintendo E3 2008 keynote. While not detailed, Decades will likely include a setlist that ranges multiple ... decades. The game will also include a song-sharing feature, allowing those with only the original On Tour to sample the Decades tracks. And apparently, there could be some form of microphone functionality (karaoke?) -- as if On Tour wasn't already awkward enough to play during the morning commute...

Seriously. How many guitar hero's came out this year? I was just about to buy it for the DS until I heard this news. But by the time that comes out, there will prolly be a newer Guitar Hero announced.
Fuck you activision.

Seriously though this has gotten worse than Tony Hawk, does Neversoft pitch itself as a franchise whore?

And Activision then wonders why Rock Band is more popular.

i bet they'll set the bar for an even worse track list, which is pretty hard to do after on tour.

I doubt half of the people complaining have played OT either. Its actually very fun once you get used to it.

Then again it's the DS version so I really don't give a shit.It's not like anybody could actually make a good game like this for DS.As long as they keep the quality for the main games.

they started the North American sensation that is guitar/instrument games...
they can do as they please since they make Activision look like that retard kid trying to keep up on the playground
See, while the "new" Guitar Hero were the "bad guys" for releasing a new game ever year and "forcing" you to buy a new controller, Rock Band was the "good guy" because although it was shit expensive(especially in Europe) it was meant to be a one time investment.You bought it and the game was meant to "stay alive" for a couple of years due to fresh supply of DLC.You didn't have to buy a new game each year.You just bought DLC. GH:Aerosmith was heavily criticised because of that, despite being marketed solely at Aerosmith fanbase.In fact it wasn't criticism, people who didn't like Aerosmith bashed it for the sake of it.Now Rock Band 2 is coming out barely a year after the first Rock Band and openly tells the "DLC Ideology" to go fuck itself.Rock Band 2 looks exactly like Rock Band, and it could essentially be Rock Band Disc 2 for all little difference there is.Oh, this also means there will be no more DLC for Rock Band 1 since Rock Band 2 is out, which also "forces" you to buy the RB2.And new instruments? You don't have to buy them just like with GH but they're "quieter and better" than current ones so what the hell, why not?
Still, everybody is all hyped and happy about Rock Band while at the same time bashing Guitar Hero for the same flaws that Rock Band itself has.These DOUBLE STANDARDS really piss me off and I hope you see what I mean now.
If Mr.ESC was to do his subliminal message bullshit, it would come down to:
Rock Band/Harmonix - GOOD!
Guitar Hero/ Neversoft - BAD!
PS: Sorry if I make any typos or have some shit grammar but I really can't be bothered to proof-check this block of text.
