We all knew that theGuitar Herofranchise had its eyes set on more than just guitars. Trademarked potential titles likeKeyboard Hero,Drum Hero,DJ Heroand evenGuitar VillainandDrum Villainhave all given clues as to the possible future of the series. However, Activision might be more keen than ever to step up its game in the wake ofRock Band‘s success, and rhythm game fans playing turncoat in its wake.
Activision CEO Bobby Kotickhas promisedthat more instruments and vocals will be included in future titles, effectively stating thatGuitar Herowill becomeRock Band. With so many gamers now enjoying their sneering atGuitar HerofollowingRock Band‘s release, I suppose I can’t blame Activision for trying to reclaim the music game crown in such a way.
