Unease Peanut Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Guitar Hero Live announced It has been rather quiet in the world of Guitar Hero, but Activision made some noise. Today Activision confirmed the rumours of a new Guitar Hero coming out with the announcement of Guitar Hero Live. Instead of the usual cartoony characters and look of the game we'll now be first person in the guitar players shoes in an actual live concert. What's interesting is that the crowd and band mates will react to your performance even more than what they used to. Be sure to check the trailer down below to see what I mean. Get ready for some first person tomatoes-in-your-face action! https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=158&v=6SnIZgESm4c What FreeStyleGames also decided to overhaul is the Guitar Hero guitar controller. Remember that old thing with the 5 colourful buttons? The orange button you never managed to press with your pinky? Don't worry! The new guitar controller features 6 buttons spread over 2 rows of three. 1 more button and no more having to move your hand up and down to hit them all. The strum bar, wammy bar and all the other buttons on the lower end stay in the same position like the old controller. "What we came to was, you already know where your fingers are. You're moving them up and down. The idea of having colors to tell you where you are was kind of unnecessary. It was another bit of information that your brain had to process before you went, ‘OK, is it up or down?' Stripping that out and saying, your brain already knows where your fingers are, you just need to know if it's up or down, it seemed like you were processing the information a lot quicker. It worked really well." ~Jamie Jackson Some already confirmed artists are: The Black Keys, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Gary Clark, Jr., Green Day, Ed Sheeran, The War on Drugs, The Killers, Skrillex, The Rolling Stones, The Lumineers, Pierce the Veil and Blitz Kids. The game will hit the store for $99,99 for the game with one controller and will release on the Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Wii U and mobile platforms. The mobile versions have a feature that lets you choose whether you want to play it on the devices screen or on television. Neato! Are you excited to get back into some Guitar Hero action? Let us know down below! Thank you for reading! Sources: NL.IGN Polygon This post has been promoted to an article 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unease Peanut Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Are they using actual live crowds as the backgrounds? If not dem graphics tho. For the first front rows yes, the rest must be some computer generated magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzy_Dan Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Ok first off I love Guitar Hero. Secondly this is going to be NUTS on a big super HD screen. There might be some lag but once you get used to it it's gonna be epic. Lastly, a constantly updating library for music videos and such of songs that you can play?? This is a must-buy. REALLY hoping for the drum kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-38 Boss Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I prefer Rock Band. And Since Rock Band 4 was announced about a month ago.... Activision just can't resist trying to muscle people around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
