Rumor: Activision Prepping Van Halen Music Game, Band Hero and More for 2009

by Chris Faylor Mar 06, 2009 12:12pm

Guitar Hero publisher Activision has three more unannounced music games planned for 2009, a "source close to the publisher" has allegedly informed Eurogamer.

Hard Rock Van Halen and Band Hero are apparently slated to hit PS2, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii in August and November, respectively. No further details on the games themselves were provided, such as how Band Hero differs from Guitar Hero.

Earlier this year, Activision promised a "major re-stage" of the Guitar Hero franchise with "all new differentiated Guitar Hero products" in the second half of 2009.

The third unannounced game appears to be another Guitar Hero title for the Nintendo DS, which will follow the June-due Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits.

The site further specified that already known efforts Guitar Hero 5 and DJ Hero will arrive in PS2, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii form in October and September, respectively.

Activision has vowed to triple the amount of Guitar Hero releases by 2010. Guitar Hero Metallica arrives on PS3 and Xbox 360 in March, with Wii and PS2 vesions coming later, and Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits will hit the same platforms come June.

Sure beats the hell out of bothering to record and release new material with Dave.

A band must have their priorities in order, after all.

So how does this equate in your tiny brain, that VH is not gonna record with dave and release a new album. You do know they have a manager that handles all these other trivial things such as this.

Sure does seem like a good way to get VH exposer to a much younger crowd. ACDC just did the same thing and it seems like it has paid off.

[LoungeMachine]

Yeah, um.... it went over your head. No shocker there.



Have you bought your new evh guitar, or the first LP on re-re-released vinyl yet?

Who cares if they want to make money for doing this. As for all the stuff Ed's been selling, for me atleast i won't buy it. I hotrod my own guitars.

For your dumbass comment and attitude. Atleast i wasn't known in highschool for being the meatflute player of the band, like you probably were, jackass.

[LoungeMachine]

Great comeback there, sparky.



What makes you think they're recording new material, mensa?

[LoungeMachine]

And for the record, Guitar Hero and Rockband are the worst things to happen to music since the birth of Samuel Roy Hagar.

My kids learned to play the real thing.

These lame-ass games are counter-intuitive, and make complete morons [adults] think they can play.

But I digress.....

My point [which flew over your head] was that any news coming out of spEDCO, LLC has to do with prying more money out of us for material/gear already purchased 4 times over, instead of going into HIS OWN FUCKING STUDIO and recording the "10 albums worth of material" he's claimed to have had for the last 10 years.

Record? Gee, can't do it. I have to deal with the caterer and the wedding dj, and my bass player has classes until 3pm Mon-Fri.



It's always something.......

Well, if i had to guess. They are not recording anything at this moment but riffs and drums. However, since i know you can copy and paste stuff, not sure if you can actually read. All you have to do is find Ed's latest RS article and hope like the rest of us that everything is on the up and up and a new record and tour will happen.

It's called life, dipshit, how about get one. VH doesn't owe you anything.

[LoungeMachine]

. VH doesn't owe you anything.

Never said they did, fuckstump.

I merely pointed out the obvious, which usually flies over your head.

Carry on.

Is that all you gonna keep coming back with. Who gives a flying fuck, except you, that Ed keeps selling refried shit. He and the rest of VH will record and tour when they want, in their timeline not yours.

You gotta cut the guy some slack. He went through some hard years and it now seems like he's finally on the right track.

The only thing we agree on is how fucked up Guiter Hero and Rock Band is to today's youth. They should be learning the real thing, not that.

Yeah, it's just me, brighteyes.

Shows how much you know about the people on this board.

Many care, and I've been one of the many saying "who cares" about if/when they ever record again. I was simply pointing out that instead of recording, we get more product. God, you're thick.

But you carry on with your bad self. You really seem to have your finger on the pulse of camp spED. :D

Many of us have cut him plenty of slack. But this is the same fuckup who couldn't make it to the Hall of Fame, or even through the last tour without "health issues" [read: bottle flu] cropping up.

CVH is dead. But I caught them live in their prime more than once, so I'm not too concerned.

I'd like to see Dave go do something on his own again, though. Before it becomes too late. Waiting on spED can be a death sentence.

AND, I'd really LOVE to see Dave test spED's "you can't be in 2 bands at the same time" rule.

Explains where those recent master tracks come from...

Look for these on the game. (If you are into it)

Runnin with the Devil
Hot For Teacher.

Theres master tracks for guitar, drums and vocals out there
already.

I'm going to step out on a limb here, and speculate that Band Hero differs from Guitar Hero in that Band Hero has bass, drums, and vox, while Guitar Hero has Banjo and the Recorder

Just a guess, though.

Imagine anybody over the age of 2 not being able to get 100% correct on the bass track for RWTD :D

EPIC FAIL
