Guitar Hero Gets New Developer
GameDaily is reporting that the much loved Guitar Hero series seems to have been given over to new developers. NeverSoft, makers of Gun and the Tony Hawk series of games, are now advertising open positions on their Guitar Hero team. Harmonix, Activision, and Neversoft are all mum on the development at this point, but it's hard to argue with a big 'hiring' sign. Notably, Neversoft appears to be hiring for a PlayStation 3 version of the game. From the article: "Neversoft is undoubtedly filled with much talent, but we're not quite sure why RedOctane would give the development duties to them after Harmonix created two hugely successful games. Guitar Hero II really cranked it up to 11 with sales of more than 805 K units in December alone in the U.S. In fact, according to recent NPD data, the game was the fifth best selling game for all of 2006 with 1.3 million units sold in the U.S."
After suffering through that horrible vocalist, way out of his vocal range, that they used to do the Megadeth covers on GH and GH2, I refuse to buy GH3 if it once again is not the ORIGINAL SONGS by the ORIGINAL ARTIST.
God, it's fucking horrible the way that poser vomits the end of Symphony of Destruction. If it ain't got Dave Mustaine's voice, I don't want anything to do with it.
If I'm paying 3 times the cost of a music CD for the game, I damn well expect real versions of the songs on it. Cheap ass bastards.
