It's already in Guitar Hero 6 and Rock Band 3.

@ArchiGamer I don't troll for Rock Band very often (or GH for that matter) but in this case, unless they add keys too, Bohemian Rhapsody will be boring under the old band config. You need keys for it. By the time it comes out we will already have been playing BR and the other songs in the Queen pack for how long? Hope this rumor remains unsubstantiated.

Another false report.

Brian May NEVER said it was a Guitar Hero. He simply said "games" in that interview.

In fact back in November he was interviewed and he said he had met with Harmonix about getting Queen their own Rock Band. Rock Band will fit their style anyways with harmonies and piano.

Again he never said Guitar Hero, it was just something the reporter threw in. This is most likely Rock Band based on prior interviews.

@(Unverified) Good. If it's Rock Band, there's a chance it will have actual Queen songs in it.

@(Unverified) Harmonix had a big online poll as to what band-based Rock Band would come next, the options were:
Queen
Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin
U2
The Eagles

I don't think they would have posted an option if they didn't think they could get the license. Personally I hope it's Led Zep, but Queen and Pink Floyd would be welcome too.

Actually, I've been hoping for a Rock Band: Queen, based on the RB3 engine. Piano, people!!!

I hope that site is wrong in its assumption and it's actually Queen: Rock Band. After the ghastly abominations that were the Guitar Hero versions of Steven Tyler and Kurt Cobain, I don't have the heart to see how Neversoft would render Freddie Mercury.

@Kyattsuai I was about to post something along those lines... Except I'm more intrested about the gameplay. GH is shit compared to RB.

i really hope its Rock Band Queen since all single band guitar hero games look horrible and Harmonix has shown they are really good at making single band games

and methinks they would put as much effort into it as The Beatles: Rock Band.

@delgado616 Remember two years ago, there was a rumor floating around about one of the guys at Green Day saying that they were coming out with a Rock Band game?

Remember a year ago, Brian May said that they were working with Harmonix on something?

...Just throwing out wild conjecture.

@delgado616 Why? You can already get a bunch of Queen songs in Rock Band. You don't need a full game, just more songs as DLC.

after RB3, guitar hero is done. There's really no reason for it to even exist anymore other than to cockblock Rock Band with a few random artists.

oh and Queen isn't dedicated game worthy.

It'll have to be, I mean...rock band 3 will have Keyboards and harmonies. What's Bohememien rhapsody without keyboards and harmonies?

@(Unverified) Yeah, Harmonix said something along those lines at E3, about how you can play Bohemian Rhapsody with harmonies and vocals, "because otherwise, what's the point?"

After seeing all the options Rock Band 3 gives the user, I can unequivocally say:

Activision, you're doing it wrong.

Wasn't there a large Queen release on RB not that many months ago? I doubt this is going to the * Hero franchises.

@mairondil

Queen released 67 singles abouts.

Rock Band has 12 Queen songs, 2 of which require an export of Lego Rock Band.

I think Queen, a band of multiple decades and about a dozen albums is fully capable of providing a whole game's worth of content, and if done in the style of TBRB, it would be pretty grand I think.

I was just saying that it's probably going to be a RB game, not a * Hero game. Would be great if it was.

I'm pretty sure a rock band queen is all but confirmed. I don't remember the source, but it is linked on the rock band forums. So yeah, the likelyhood of a GH: queen is just about nil.

Hah, there would be no way I would buy a Guitar Hero Queen game.

Guitar Hero has proven itself crap, and quite honestly, I don't want to have Freddie Mercury turn into a zombie monster thing.

Harmonix on the other hand, are amazing when it comes to rhythm and band games. And, like it's already been said, May has talked to Harmonix about it.
