Guitar Hero II 360 to have 'most DLC ever' News

Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell

15 February, 2007

Guitar Hero II will boast "more online content than anyone has ever seen in a game to this date," associate producer Ted Lange has boasted, referring to the downloadable add-ons set to be offered after the game's release.

"We're still in the process of confirming the final details and continue to secure more licenses, though nothing has been announced at this time, we can definitely say nobody will be disappointed," Lange told IGN Australia.

He was also adamant that the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero II, due out at the start of April in the US, won't be the last we'll see of the series of next-gen. Which, er, we probably could have guessed, what with Neversoft having been signed up by Activision to develop further titles.

"Of course, next-gen opens up a lot of new things we can do, both with the visual and audio technology and advanced capabilities," Lange noted, rather predictably. "Just wait until you see what we have in store for the next Guitar Hero!"

Sadly he didn't go on to add when that might be.

Nice!

Guitar Hero hasn't ever been particularly big over here though, has it?

Guitar Hero vs Singstar who will wear the "most DLC content" crown?

I'm hoping with the next one we will be able to use the 360 camera to map yourself into the game, now that would rock.

heh more like trying to work out how little content they can get away with releasing in game to maximise the amount of micro transactions they can get away with charging us for the extra content.

maybe that's jsut me being cynical but somehow I doubt it..

Guitar Hero 2 does not feature less songs than the first one did, does it? If it only features half of the songs plus DLC, then it would be a rip off. If it has enough songs the DLC is a bonus. People will complain anyway, either because they think they are getting ripped off or complaining that the game does not use the full potential of the market place (which is perfect for such a game)

That is a relevant concern but they are only adding to the playlist, not removing songs and then selling them as premium DLC. Remember that they have to cater for offline users too...

Yes, release it unfinished so we can moan some more about rushing titles and making patches.

Major Nelson said in a podcast a coupla months ago (following ea's nickel and dime fest) that games will not have less content on next gen compared to last gen platforms.

and then tw07 came out.

Hasn't this site already reported that GHII on the 360 would have all the tracks off the PS2 version plus 10 new ones. Clearly not a case of leaving tracks off. don't think it going to stop people bitching that the favourite track is DLC and not packed in but worth think about
