Start practicing your headbanging and get the band back together because we have some seriously rockin’ news for you video game fans. You’ve heard the rumors, but we’ve got confirmation: Activision is bringing Guitar Hero back from the shred, er, dead. When can you expect to play it? What systems will it be on? Will you finally be able to 100% “Through the Fire and Flames”? And what about Rock Band? Relax, Glenn Danzig (yes, we know it’s you) — we’ve got everything you need to know right here. So turn your speakers up to eleven, then join Jessica Chobot as she breaks down the latest developments in your favorite peripheral-based music games on today’s Nerdist News!
That’s all for today’s show! Check out the greatest background extras in cinema history on The Dan Cave. Then let us know what you think about the return of Guitar Hero — and what songs you’d like to see — in the comments below!
“80’s Supergroup?” “Damn Yankees?” Their first album wasn’t released until early 1990 Chobot… slap your writers for giving you bad info. I’ll let you slide this time, but you could have gone with Asia, The Traveling Wilburys, The Firm, heck, even Mike + The Mechanics is more of an “80’s” supergroup than Damn Yankees… (Supergroup yes, but not on the radar until 1990…) You’re still awesome Chobot.
wow who else is not excited for another guitar hero game?
Love the games. Terrified that I’m going to have to buy all of those hard to store peripherals again!
Jessica’s new hairdo sucks..:-/
You don’t like hair that’s been washed and blow dried?
Don’t Know, Rocksmith set the bar pretty high in this Genre. Instead of fake Guitars, they should let you use real ones.
False. Rocksmith and Guitar Hero are not even in the same genre. Guitar Hero is entertainment, while Rocksmith is educational. If you want to use a real guitar, don’t go with Guitar Hero.
Yeah Chobot,shred that air guitar! Seriously though I am definitely down for Guitar Hero to make a return.
It was SO HARD not to make the guitar sound effects myself!
Glad I came back for my daily dose of Jess. I would so take a class from her on “how to watch paint dry in 101 easy steps”.
