Strong rumours of Guitar Hero Van Halen but nothing from Activision yet.

Wait, Underground Development? Haha, that's not like Activision at all - announce the closure of a studio after finishing a port of a title, and meanwhile, get them working on another Guitar Hero one too!

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Guitar Hero: Amon Amarth
Could be half viking action game, half amazing music game.

We know it's out in August-ish, and that it's probably going to disappoint after Metallica.
I was all for Aerosmith and Metallica, but Van Halen...ehh. Hopefully it's more like 5-10 VH songs than a typical band game, which I think is likely. If that's the case, and it's just "stadium", cheesy rock themed? Could be cool.

Do they release a new Guitar Hero every month now or something? I feel sorry for the poor saps who keep buying them.

I was always kind of skeptical on whether this Van Halen game actually existed. I guess if it was rated then it probably does. It seems weird that we haven't heard about if it's coming out in August, though.
I'll buy it, of course, because I love Guitar Hero and I love Van Halen. Get me all of 1984, most of Van Halen 1, and a little off 5150, and I'm happy.

You're working under the assumption that people are forced to buy things. Music games suit this method. It's why Singstar has sold God knows how many games.
Harmonix released 30 or so new Rock Band songs at $2 a pop last month, I feel sorry for the poor saps who keep buying them.

So, Guitar Hero Headlining Van Halen is the official title I guess...
That sounds more like 10 VH songs and 40 other Bands than something like GH: Metallica.

I was the only one who seemed to have problems with GH: Metallica, and at the risk of sounding redundant (and like a whiny asshole) all I will say is that there is nothing, NOTHING, Activision can do to make me buy another Guitar Hero title. They could make Guitar Hero: Tool, Guitar Hero: Opeth, or Guitar Hero: Slayer, and I wouldn't buy any of them. That engine needs to fucking die.

If that's happening, I'd be surprised. Surprised and slightly sad.
I'm sure something will be out after September though. 4 whole months without a GH? INCONCEIVABLE.

Yeah, it'd probably be too awesome for you to handle.BrodiemanTTR said:

Well, I can't wait to play the first album and to see how they're gonna handle David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar. They have to have both, too many big songs with Hagar to turn down.

It's been available for pre-order for at least a month on amazon.com now, so we know it's coming...Banana Kid said:

I have logic on my side.
Here's a question for you guys: How can Guitar Hero Van Halen one-up Metallica?
The most obvious answer is that it must include both Hagar and David Lee Roth.
Secondly, I'd like to see more recreations of historic venues and performances: The video for "Unchained," the US Festival, the headlining tour for The Monsters of Rock.
Best case scenario would feature David Lee Roth's solo material (that way you get some Steve Vai and Stu Hamm in there) as well as Hagar's (NO MAS TEQUILA PLEASE).
I'd also like to see a stricter relevance to the accompanying bands -- only artist who Van Halen is related to, toured with, covered or were influenced by.
Also: since Van Halen came of age during the MTV era there should be a recreation of, at the very least, the music video for Hot For Teacher.
Anybody else have demands?

Here's my one: even though Eddie's kid is their current bassist and is pretty much guaranteed a spot, I want Michael Anthony in there too.Flynn said:
Also, have Gary Cherone. Just for shits and giggles.

I have very low expectations for it presentation wise. With Neversoft not directly working on it I'm not expecting Metallica levels of awesome. Seeing as I don't actually give a shit about the band itself I suppose it's not worth crying about for me personally, cos I don't even know what VH look like. Besides...a bit 70s and 80s. I can't imagine VH fans being as happy as Metallica fans were with GH:M, but we'll see.

I like the way SP works in multiplayer GH. The whole savior thing I can take or leave.
They just really need to clean up the online interface menus, but I can't see that happening with any of the WT expansions. The lack of information after a song is pathetic.
