Gearbox confirms 'War Hero,' says it's 'down the road'

We couldn't help but ask the company if the title had any involvement with Activsion and would use some sort of plastic peripheral? A company spokesperson said, "This has no relation to Guitar Hero." But, but, it has hero right in the title! Doesn't Activision Blizzard own the word by this point?

Wait, I thought the old article was a joke of some sort? Well, they should have just gone with Modern War Hero. It was the best one out of them all.

Maybe its not modern though, it could be WWII styled or futuristic!

Nope.I believe Marvel Owns 'He-' & DC owns '-ro'. But they are in talks to buy the rights to the word 'super' from nintendo.
ArchiGamer @ Jun 25th 2009 5:32PM
Actually, the word belongs to Stan Lee.
Crazy-008 @ Jun 25th 2009 5:04PM
Someone mentioned this last article and was right. Once you get this stuck in your head... you can't unstick it. This could be a really good game, but the hero has me brainwashed.

God of War, Gears of War, Warhawk, War Hero... do Americans never tire of war?
ArchiGamer @ Jun 25th 2009 5:31PM
You ask that as if you don't know that we are still in war
Crazy-008 @ Jun 25th 2009 5:31PM
Flame war....i guess we don't....
Kevlar @ Jun 25th 2009 5:34PM
Never.
Apparently War is the only conflict worth exploring in the context of video games.
I would venture that the ratio of non-war to war-related games is something like one for every ten.
WREturns @ Jun 25th 2009 6:39PM
Yep, only Americans buy those filthy war games. Idiot.

Your assuming tone clearly gives you away as a Frenchman, and in that case I'll say that yes, we 'Ame-hi-cuns' love our war games. Go eat a baguette.
ArchiGamer @ Jun 25th 2009 5:35PM
As long as I get to do a kick ass guitar solo after I shot down every enemy, then everything is fine with me.
Maurice M @ Jun 25th 2009 6:11PM
Such a hypocrite. Not a week passes since his comments about Bungie and Infinity Ward and they have like 10 more WWII games coming. Nice.
Peace Fog @ Jun 25th 2009 6:56PM
Call of Duty: Guitar Warfare!
I can see it now "Tango's in the trees use Star Power!"
CH3BURASHKA @ Jun 25th 2009 7:22PM
Oh my god, they've completely lost it.
Neuromancer @ Jun 25th 2009 8:59PM
Doesn't Gearbox have enough on their plate as it is?
foobob @ Jun 25th 2009 9:53PM
I'm not French. And I enjoy some shooting once in a while. I enjoy things not in my daily routine.
It's just that, videogames used to be escapism, today they look more like braindead military training or propaganda. Perhaps to make it easier for, when the time comes, the young to join the army to fight wars in foreign countries.
Not the case with Wii though and even, to a lesser extent, with the PS3. But the war thematic is very in-your-face in both American gaming platforms: PC and XBox. yes, I know GoW is from Playstation, but developed in America.

I'm not sure Gearbox wants their upcoming nebulous war title to be associated with a near-burnt-out music series, do they?
