Guitar Hero 5

[mrtonguetwista]

Activision have unveiled a new website for Guitar Hero 5, in the process confirming not only that the game is returning to a numbered title, but that it has a ballsy new release date.

And that date is September 1. Cocky! You may have heard, a certain other music title is due out in early September. One that features the Beatles.

Something tells me that the market isn't big enough for both those games. Retail shelves probably aren't, either. We've got ourselves a plastic instrument showdown here, folks, and my money's on the one starring the most popular band of all time.

Those that are still planning on picking up the fifth title in the series, know that the lineup of confirmed artists appearing in the game now includes:

The Rolling Stones
The White Stripes
Kings of Leon
Tom Petty
Bob Dylan
Johnny Cash
Santana
Vampire Weekend
Beatie Boys
Coldplay
Duran Duran
Gorillaz
Jimmy Eat World
Muse
The Raconteurs

im never buying plastic instruments again

 

[Gizmo]

Naw the Guitar Hero 5 will most likely win because even though the Beatles are BIG they are still your mom and dads group. Unless mom and dad are going to play it the Artists like would depend on the Kids. I myself grew up more on or hear more the ones listed for 5.

 

[L.D.S.]

Gorillaz and Raconteurs! WOOOOORRRRDDDDDD...

 

[rising_tied]

Dammit man...
I got all excited thinking maybe we'll see some heavier shit since I just found out theres DLC for World tour with Chimera Unearth and The Devil Wears Prada.... but nope......back to the same ol guitar hero... They need guitar Hero "Hardcore"

 

[prodigy91]

oh shit, it comes out on my 18th birthday too, ill probably copp it the day after when im hungover

 

[BEAR]

I retired from my plastic instrument career.
I hate to see this franchise pounded into the ground like it is.

guitar hero world tour has the worst DLC i have ever seen. was so dissapointed with all their releases. they have like 7 eurpeon rock packs for christs sake! fuck europe!

rock band blows them out of the water in the dlc department

 

[Jake]

i wont be buying either of these though. i have like 650+ songs on my rock band, that more than enough to hold me over for the rest of my life.

not a huge beatle fan and i wont ever buy a guitar hero product ever again because of all the problems i had with their drums

 

[[-KoRp$-]559]

I ain't buying shit until, I see a lineup I like. So far Guitar Hero Metallica is on my list when the price drops during thanksgiving probably. I heard their extra pedal on the drums are useless. Its all good I can wait.

The Rolling Stones
The White Stripes
Kings of Leon
Tom Petty
Bob Dylan
Johnny Cash
Santana
Vampire Weekend
Beatie Boys
Coldplay
Duran Duran
Gorillaz
Jimmy Eat World
Muse
The Raconteurs

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

Stop putting the Beastie Boys on guitar games.

 

[L.D.S.]

They're actually putting Rick Reuben by way of the Beastie Boys on guitar Hero.

 

[Zer0.MediA]

Yeah but it's just fuckin' loops. And I definitely don't like the fact that on Rock Band, I had to play scratches with my guitar. Lame.

The 2 pedals is dope. I like it. I play double bass on my real set so it feels more natural for me on faster parts. I even use the double bass on rock band. Not useless at all

Dude I agree with the Rockband Beating them in DLC hell in even setlists 100%... I was just saying I love the pack with The Devil wears prada Unearth and chimera... harder music and harder to play

Wish I could find that Zakk Wylde "Bring the Noise" already...

 

[Chree]

tracklisting aint that great :/

 

[Zer0.MediA]

I'd go so far as to say it's the worst tracklisting thus far for a guitar game.
