Yesterday,Guitar Hero 5was “confirmed” by Activision, along with a whole host of other “Hero” titles. We say “confirmed” in quotes because this is Activision, and the day it doesn’t develop a GH game is the day the world itself stops turning.
Of course, Activision doesn’t need to stop making the games, because it is making a ridiculous amount of cash off the back of the series. The evil publisher proudly boasted that the franchise hasmade over $2 billion, allowing Activision to grow fat and bloated on its milky produce.
Along withGH5, along withDJ HeroandBand Herowere also confirmed. At this rate, Activision is givingDynasty Warriorsa run for its money as “most shamelessly whored out game in the world,” and Koei had several years of a head-start. Kind of impressive, in a depressing way.
Apparently,GH5“gives players an unprecedented level of control over the way they play the game with the ability to drop in and out of songs and change band members, instruments and difficulty levels on the fly.”Band Herowill be Activision’s attempt to corner a younger demographic because Satan loves virgins, whileDJ Herowill probably be embarrassing, but is bound to top the charts for weeks to come.
Seriously though Activision, we know you will release and make money fromGuitar Herogames until the world itself stops turning, so there’s no need to announceGuitar Hero 5. Or6. Or7. Or8. OrGuitar Hero 9: Xtreme Legends.
