Guitar Hero: Hendrix on the way News

Awww crap. If it has All Along The Watchtower it's going to be an instant sale.

Could be a fun title. I will probably buy it anyway (i bought GH:A too and i don't even like Aerosmith).

hmm.. this reeks of what should be DLC imo.

Thank god for LoveFilm.

I still think it's rather nice that the GH:A demo has 5 songs to play ... nice little surprise on that coverdisc a few weeks ago.

Hendrix. Right. I'll pass.

Oh fuck off, ActiBlizz. Sooner or later this constant GH whoring will collapse on itself and you'll sell a fraction as many copies.

And I'll piss myself laughing at you.

Dfawkes - Hendrix. Right. I'll pass.


Please sir, fuck off and never darken these doors again.

All i have to say, is Little Wing.

GOD DAMN AWESOME!

This is what GH is made for. Instant buy.

These add-ons would benefit from a lower price; at 25 GBP they'd retail much better, but I don't see that happening any time soon...

I think you are being overly harsh on DFawkes

Hendrix although on of the greatest guitarist ever is sadly a bit dated now

And what is the average age demographic that play Guitar Hero? So how relevant is Hendrix and it will sell but to certain demographic.

Maybe a 60's/Woodstock package of bands from the era but solo Hendrix I dont think you will find that much interest at full game prices.

Flame on, foxy lady!

Everyone should be forced to listen to God/Hendrix. His stuff still feels fresh today

@triggerhappytel

WOAH! Just WOAH! What's your problem with GH? Did it kill your father? Rape your mother?

I was under the impression that we weren't forced to purchase these games.

I'd managed to let the whole Guitar Hero/Rock Band thing pass me by - But Hendrix edition would make this an essential purchase - Goddammit!

So how relevant is Hendrix

How relevant is Hendrix? How relevant is Hendrix? How relevant is Hendrix?

No, whichever way you spin it, you're still a moron. Hendrix GH would kick ass. Do a Clapton one too.

PlugMonkey,

Yes, you knob how relevant! Hendrix is irrelevant to anyone under 40.

And a Clapton one would suck even more balls!

Wanker

Why? I dont have the money for these sort of things. Why do they rekease things Id actually love to buy?

Thunderbolt!- Calling something thats old irrelevant is really ignorant. If you don't like it fair enough but Hendrix has inspired many of todays top bands and created a whole new original sound.

@Thunderbolt!

So a 10 year old such as yourself can speak for all of us under 40?

Despite the fact I know only a few Hendrix songs, I'm open to the idea of a Hendrix Edition.

Ok we all know that a Hendrix game is not coming.

It's great that you all enjoy Hendrix and my mistake for implying that he's not relevant in todays musical landscape. I have already admitted that he is one of the greatest guitarists ever.

I was talking about the GAME not the MUSIC, as the GH demographic is into - well whats already on GH & RB which is full of EMO, NU-METAL and POP SONGS!

If and a big IF this game is ever released and is does really well I will eat my words

I was only responding to being called a moron when I made a rational and well thought out comment as I felt that was uncalled for!

@Thunderbolt

Kindly fuck off back to whatever emo nu-metal hole you and DFawkes crawled out of.

Your opinions are akin to saying Mozart and Beethoven are crap and dated, and we should all be listening to jazz pianists; old Hendrix's music may be, but as a foundation on which to build modern guitar music he was a true pioneer and tbh his music still sounds fresh today.

And I'm in my 20s. I think you'd have to be a particularly ill informed petulent teenager to diss Jimi, and you'd probably be completely ignorant to the ways in which his stuff influenced music you DO like.

Oh, and I think Slash is probably just confusing the "Hendrix one" with the several Hendrix tracks announced for GH:WT... To make/justify a full-on dedicated release they have thus far had motion capture, exclusive boss battles and re-recorded tracks. Unlikely to be easy with Mr Hendrix. Probably not very sprightly. And his fingers might snap off...

Hendrix' music is timeless. Anybody picking up the guitar (a real life one, I mean) will at one point be made aware of Hendrix and his incredible impact on the instrument.
I just hope this one will have enough tracks on it, and not just be another GH: Aerosmith which imo was pretty poor.

"Oh fuck off, ActiBlizz. Sooner or later this constant GH whoring will collapse on itself and you'll sell a fraction as many copies."

Since when was adding more music to a music based game whoring?

Seriously.

Since when was adding more music to a music based game whoring?

Seriously.

Taking what in Rock Band would equate to £20-25ish worth of DLC and selling it for £50 is pretty much whoring.

So instead of giving people DLC they just release new games :)

I suppose if they released it as DLC then they might suddenly start achieving their promises they made with GH2 :P

You gotta play it left handed too.

Except Rock Band DLC is rubbish anyway. Who gives a sh*t if there is a lot of content for Rock Band if most of it is terribly boring to play, just like the original playlist.

I still don't see why people have a problem with there being more guitar hero games.

EDIT: Oh and also I think people are forgetting there are many non-xbox live enabled customers out there, so DLC-only instead of a disc is ridiculous.

You gotta play it left handed too.

Without changing the settings to Lefty flip ^_^

@Zomoniac

No solus ediition of GH has ever cost £50.

I agree that Activisions pricing structure needs a kick in the nuts (any compilation should be cheaper than its component parts), but that isn't the same as saying single artist disc releases have no place in the market.
