Neversoft would like to add turntable support to Guitar Hero

WTF

Man theyll force us to find friends to play this

Why not? It's not like they can ruin the franchise anymore than they have already. Might as well go for broke.

That'd would be cool for, uhm... Linkin PArk songs I guess? I dunno.

It's as if Activision thinks that adding superfluous features to an already inferior experience validates it somehow.

I wish they would go back to making games that are exclusively guitar.

And gamers everywhere let out a collective groooooooan.

Neversoft should just stop trying to appeal to most core gamers. We all know Guitar Hero gets probably a majority of its sales from causals/kids, so why bother?

Oh geez, this would be such an idiotic idea! Stop adding stuff that clearly doesn't belong. I've thought this since Guitar Hero: World Tour was first announced. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the game, but the very fact that it's called "Guitar Hero" should mean that it sticks to the basics and only uses guitar controllers. They should've just titled it differently.

Today I was talking to my mom about DJ Hero and how the guy at the Activision booth at E3 said something about it being the most anticipated game of next year (wow, what a boldly false statement). Then I ended up mentioning the GH drums and even my 50+ y/o mother asked me,

"Guitar Hero has drums?"
"Yeah"
"...But, it's called 'Guitar Hero.'"

Exactly, mom!

When does Tambourine Hero: Stevie Nicks come out?

They are honestly looking at forum posts and completely missing the irony with which people create said posts.

More shitty plastic controllers to end up in a landfill.

here's another idea, before they add the turntable for guitar hero, why don't they add support for rock band instruments for the wii

One more thing: All i can say is I'm really satisfied with the general consensus of these comments that this rhythm/music genre is getting way out of hand. It's good to see that people still have limits.

SHUT THE F*** up! Rock band really gayed out on Wii instruments, why gives a shit if you can't use your snow white instruments??

And seriously all you rock band players who hate GH, I read these articles to laugh at what you have to say. It's rediculous, your looking for things to complain about.

And honostly, there is no better game. They are different. If you want a huge music store to buy almost any song you want, Rock Band. If you want to play as real musicians like ozzy in stages that are actually bright enough to admire the visuals of the stage, Guitar Hero.

Quit your bitchin!

Of course they would.

Cool, I guess. I don't get why everyone here is getting all pissed off at Activision and Neversoft about it.

"both the DJ Hero team and Neversoft (developers of the Guitar Hero franchise)"

Um... Neversoft didn't develop the GH franchise, Harmonix did.

I think we need a 'Will Ferrell: Cowbell Hero'.

Definitely needs more cowbell.

they'll need to for guitar hero: linkin park

The fact is incorrect. Therefore it is not a fact.

Neversoft bought the franchise, and have continued with it. The correct "fact" would be:

...and Neversoft (developers of the Guitar Hero, starting with Guitar Hero 3)...

Ok, now someone name me a band that mixes turntables with guitars.





Now go back through that list, and name me a *good* band.





About the only reason I see to mix these are for some of the more 'out there' Beatles stuff, which they couldn't write before they stopped touring, because it would be simply impossible to perform live. But that's a Rock Band franchise anyway.

Come on guys, have some creativity. "Hey, what if I stole Beatmania and Guitarfreaks and then I put them in ONE GAME" is not creativity, it is stupidity. Want a creative game? Ok, simple enough, add in a storyline. Make it a battle to not just pass the songs, but to keep your band together. Keep your drummer from ODing, keep your bassist's girlfriend from tearing the group apart. If someone dies or leaves, or is unable to perform for whatever reason, they're replaced, and that changes the dynamic of the group, causing you to adjust how you try to keep everyone happy. If all of your bandmates leave, you can try to join another band, or get them to rejoin, or build yourself backup as Yourguy and the Replacements. If your character dies or quits music for whatever reason (see Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit for a good example of managing your own character like I mean), it's GAME OVER, Steel Battalion style. You keep a record of your band's progress, history, rise and fall, but there are no continues, you can't keep going. You have to just start a new band.

See, it's not hard to improve on the existing music game formula, or at least do something different, without being completely stupid. It took about two minutes of brain storming on "more realistic" to come up with the idea for an interactive and well fleshed out storyline. If you're getting paid to make this stuff, and you're sitting around thinking for days at a time, you sure as hell can do better.

"While Activision is still keeping mum on whether or not the ability to use guitars in all tracks of the game (none the less vocals) will be shipping with DJ Hero..."

In this video a guy from FreeStyleGames says that 10 tracks in the game will support guitar.

Sorry, forgot the link. Here it is: http://e3.gamespot.com/video/6211670/

I think in 2 years, Guitar Hero wouldn't have a visible stage. Just 6 charts filling up the entire screen.
Either that happens, or people would stop buying the games.

DJ Hero plus drum support = DJ Hero: TRV$DJAM

DJ Hero plus Guitar support = Prodigy track pack.

Change your pitch up, smack your bitch up!

/I shouldn't be giving Activision any ideas..

Guitar Hero Limp Bizkit/Linkin Park here we come.

Not like I'm buying the turntable controller or the dj game anyway.

You gotta remember that if you don't wanna play it then don't buy it. If you think the idea is lame (like I do) then send the company the RIGHT message by NOT wasting your (or parents' as the case may be) hard-earned money on complete bullshit like this.

And everybody who is excited for Linkin Park tracks will probably get them, because the trend I've seen in newer GH games is weak songs by lame artists... Linking Park being a prime example of existing content. I got a 99% Expert on that one song in GHWT when I was drunk as hell.

I know this post is 3 days old now, not sure if anyone will read this... according to the Game Informer preview of the game, there will only be 10 tracks supporting the guitar, and the microphone will be supported in all of them, but there won't be any lyrics going across the screen or (presumably) any kind of passing/failing on the microphone. So I guess the microphone is just for when you want to be louder.
