Metallica Getting Its Own Guitar Hero

image

Metallica will become the second band to get its own Guitar Hero game, according to an Activision SEC filing.

With less than a month before the release of Guitar Hero: Aeromsith, Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Edward Woo has discovered plans for a Metallica-centric version of the game in Activision's 10-K SEC filing from May 30. According to the filing, the Metallica Hero would be released before March 31, 2009 (the end of Activision's fiscal year).

The filing reads, "In fiscal 2009, we plan to publish Guitar Hero: On Tour for the NDS; Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, Guitar Hero: Metallica, and Guitar Hero IV across multiple platforms."

You, my good sir, are an idiot.
Anyway, I've lost track of all these games, but I do know Activision got their grubby hands on it, so no big surprise that they're milking it.

Shit, these games should be downloadable for like 20$, not full price merchandise!

...Actually, one of the execs at Sony/ACV has expressed interest in bringing about a Beatles edition. And I agree they shouldn't be full priced. Which is why I'm not buying Aerosmith edition right away, nor will I buy this right away.

I'm alright with them beating the horse, as long as they beat it in the Metallica, Iron Maiden and Led Zeppelin areas of its corpse. Besides that, I'm staying away from that horse.
Still, it sucks that this stuff is full-price.

Can somebody please explain this 'milking' concept to me, in regards to the Guitar Hero line of games?

A Metallica Guitar Hero game? FINALLY a game I can get my girlfriend to play! You know, I wonder if you can unlock different versions of the band throughout the years. That would own so hard. I also can't wait for the special Guitar Hero guitar they'll release with the game.

Oh, I'm excited.

I don't understand why they don't just put the songs up as downloads instead of launching a new game. Guitar Hero (for the xbox 360) hardly uses the download feature as it is.

Metallica sucks in fact.
They've been unoriginal ever since their third album, they steal other band's riffs and they don't give a shit about their fans.

In my opinion...

Its perfect - the perfect fusion of form and substance. Two has-beens well past their prime who made a sloppy attempt and suffered for it, and are locked in a battle with someone who they let go, who is better than them at everything (including sex, as Kirk found out) and they are desperately trying to imitate.

In case you can't tell, I'm more of a Megadeth and Rock Band fan.

Cause then you wouldn't have to pay $100 for 1 song you like.

I dunno if even the great gods of Maiden could make me trust Guitar Hero. Then again, they are Iron Maiden - would they let those guys anywhere near their songs now?

just put the songs in the freakin' DLC! I'm tired of seeing Activation milking the creativity out of Guitar Hero. When it first came out, I'm like,"cool, a game that lets me feel like a rock star." And now they just sell the same thing over and over. What's next?
GH: Rush
GH: Led Zeppelin
GH: Slayer
GH: Iron Maiden
GH: Cannibal Corpse?
ok maybe not Cannibal Corpse, but you know what I'm trying to say

They say these are full price because "DLC gives you the song - but expansions give you the experience"

Yeah I guess having some muppets that look like Aerosmith and Metallica really make all the difference in peoples purchases.

Now that I re-read the article and see the typo, I can't help but wonder if Guitar Hero: Aerosith wouldn't be the best video game ever. Rock ballads and lightsaber battles? Sign me up!

Well that has major psychological problems written all over it. I'm afraid to show you the Ronnie Johns clips for fear of you imploding.

DLC doesn't give you the experience of play Metallica, but buying another GH expansion does? God, Activision must like it's milk. And by that, I mean stupid people's and fanboy's money.

A led Zepplin and an Iron Maiden one wouldn't be too bad. Come on, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son? Can I play With Madness? But Metallica? Ew.....
