I think yawn...way to utterly murder and rape the soul of yet another series Activision.

Don't you think it's odd that now that Activision has usurped EA as the number one third party company, they're doing the exact same thing that EA has been doing for the last decade, schilling uninspired sequels to games far sooner then most gamers are ready for?

@tazarthayoot: My thoughts exactly. In other words, Activision has let the title of #1 publisher get to their heads.

This song sounds pretty awful, but I’d have to hear a studio version to make a proper judgment. No matter...I doubt I’ll be buying Guitar Hero IV unless there’s some songs by AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, the Eagles, or The Beatles in it.

Considering the bat shit insane numbers GH3 did, I also expect to see a GH 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and GH: Best of 1 -> 10.

whatever.

i'll probably end up buying it anyway.

So wait, one new song *IS* Guitar Hero IV? So GHIV consists of only one song?


AWESOME!!!!!

What's that? Rock Band model works? (singstar adopted ftw) Activision/EA are just too used to their yearly version of games (how long until we start with Guitar Hero '08 editions?

Sounds like a shitty version of Led Zeppelin to me.

The song is laym. GH4 will own however.

Interviewer: So what do you think about another GHIV Sequel?
Exec: Well, Jim, we here at Activision believe it's never too late to make another.

And that's the Answer.

This piece of crap song will be one of the songs you can buy from the store... nothing new.

Guitar Hero has always included crappy no-name bands as bonus tracks since the beginning. Also: "OMG they just came out with a Guitar Hero last year! And the year before that they had the second Guitar Hero! And the year before that they had the first Guitar Hero! Fucking sellouts! I wish they'd keep raping us with shitty, overpriced DLC instead of releasing full games that give more/better songs for our money! What kind of soulness monsters would actually make sequels to a wildly popular franchise?"

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.

Ugh... They could've dropped the title and release more DLC instead.

Anyone else starting to feel that Guitar Hero, as a franchise, has become a little played out? 'Cause I certainly do. I have GH3 and Rock Band and I'm pretty sure they will be enough musical entertainment for a good long while.

I'm surprised at the few people who are looking forward to AC/DC in this game. I've liked the franchise for not putting them in. I just find every song of theirs to be extremely boring and repetitive.

I'll be sticking with Rock Band.

Revived Demon, you do realized that you have just said that Deep Purple, The Rolling Stones, and The Who, along with the other excellent artists that appear in Rock Band, suck.
I am not one to question one's musical taste but you are extremely narrow minded musically.

Increase the guitar difficulty for rock band, drop the price of the rock band and its instrument controllers, use GH3's wireless controller, allow all of the GH4 songs as DLC. for it. And its all over.

Guitar's are used in genres other than metal, RevivedDemon.

Also, Mxy has the right of it. That's called business, my friends. Activision is a business. That is how businesses make money. They aren't making the game for you. In fact, I dare say most developers are not. Sure, they want you to be happy with the game, but that's only so that you buy it, and recommend it to your friends, who will also buy it.

People will complain, but hey, everybody wants new songs. Everyone wants new songs, but doesn't want to pay $2 or more for each one...at least with a new game, you're paying more towards a dollar a song (less if you count unlockables). Truth be told, I have no major problem with it. Even the craziest of the crazies would not expect Activision to just sit on the license and not release any new content. So do you want to be DLC'ed to death or have a new game pitched to you each year. Personally, I prefer the games because for whatever reason, there hasn't been much in the way of DLC that I can't live without.

Also, remember that YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY IT. No one is raping your childhood, crapping on your gaming memories, or doing anything else hurtful to you by releasing a product that you can choose not to buy. For every one person bitching, five will buy the game. What do you expect them to do?

Past GH2, I really don't care about playing anymore.

Well, seeing as how the last MegaMan games I bothered with were 3 and X1, I guess GH had a good run by those standards.

fuck that. rock band ftw

Im glad they are finally releasing the Rock Band peripherals as stand alones. More people really need to play it and forget all about the monstrosity that Guitar Hero has become.

Ill admit, I bought Guitar Hero 3, but I haven't even wiped the dust off the box since I got Rock Band.

No GH4 for me.
