Yes, this is my fourthGuitar Hero 5-related post of the day. You know you love it.
This morning, Activision released a new trailer forGuitar Hero 5featuring the one and only Johnny Cash. He’s a playable character in the game, just likeCarlos Santanaand Garbage’sShirley Manson; this will actually be Cash’s videogame debut. Obviously, Neversoft didn’t do motion capture with the late country singer, but regardless, his in-game model looks spectacular. The lip-synching in particular is impressive.
In the video (after the jump), Cash is singing “Ring of Fire,” which is one of the85 songson theGH 5disc. In addition to Cash himself, gamers will be able to unlock a special venue, the Electric Honky Tonk Bar. You can also view the screenshot above in its full, high-definition glory in the gallery.Guitar Hero 5will be out on September 1st for PS3, 360, Wii, and PS2; for more on the game, headhere.
