Guitar Hero Goes to Neversoft

edited January 2007 in Social Entropy++
Ok so I know most of you guys avoid GnT like the plague, but I like to venture up there every so often to see how bad my old neighborhood has gotten, and I just found this. Possibly some of the worst news I have heard in a while.

http://biz.gamedaily.com/industry/feature/?id=14971
While rumors (stemming from EGM) circulated last week regarding a possible '80s edition of Guitar Hero, an anonymous industry source tipped off GameDaily BIZ that development on the next Guitar Hero may be switching hands from Harmonix to Neversoft, known primarily for its Tony Hawk games.
Now, however, there's no denying it. The Neversoft website is literally split down the middle between Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk's Project 8, as Neversoft is apparently hiring for both franchises currently. (If for some reason the site is not working or has been changed, check out the screen grab below as evidence.)

    Not GH3, but 2.

    But, like... does anyone kind of daze off and stare at the screen and it seems like it's still rolling towards/away from you?

    I liked the PS1 Spidermans and Tony Hawk too... until I got bored of it. Not that the later games were really worse.

    I don't see myself getting too bored with the Guitar Hero formula. So long as they stick to it and do it decently.

    Didn't they do that other game with the vampire western?

    What was it called...

    Darkwatch?

    Yeah.

    Talk about beating cliches with dead horses.

    Are you saying that GH 80's went to Neversoft and III is still with the others? Or is it too late and my mind is mushing these words together?

    The last boss was easy.

    And here I thought I was the only person who thought that.

    That pretty much killed the game for me.

    As far as I know they are both Neversoft.

    I fealt the same way about Beyond Good and Evil. The game as a whole was really fun, but then the final boss was just memorization of what buttons to push when. And reversing all the movement controls? Fuck that.

    Well when it's bad it's mostly because we've all 'been there done that' and the games get pretty easy once you're a skating God.

    It's not so much the "Whoa dude raaad" attitude that is so hideous.

    That and the minigames are not what you want out of a skating game.
    It's skateboarding, not shopping cart racing. Fuck that.

    Maybe in the next game they'll add in a huge create-a-rocker mode that they force you to go through before getting to actual playtime.

    And maybe I can e-mail a picture of my face to use in the game.

    Oh, I forgot about that.

    That was Neversoft?

    I don't have a problem with creatable characters, I just dislike being forced to make one before playing.
