Revision as of 02:43, 20 March 2017
Guitar Hero is a multi-billion dollar video game franchise published by Activision, in which the player hits musical notes by strumming a plastic guitar controller.
However, in 2011, Activision expected to release a seventh game in the series, developed by Vicarious Visions. This game would have featured a plastic controller with six buttons instead of the normal five, and six guitar strings where the strum bar would have been. The game would only have the guitar as a playable instrument, much like the earlier installments of the franchise. However, the game development was extremely rushed, and the game was cancelled for being a "disaster".[1]
Gameplay
Guitar Hero 7 would have featured dynamic music videos with animated backgrounds, with each song having its own video.[1]
Potential soundtrack
According to a source that communicated with a Kotaku writer, Guitar Hero 7 would have featured songs such as "Sex and Candy" by Marcy Playground, "Turn the Page" by Metallica, "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" by The Darkness, "Closing Time" by Semisonic, and various other "terrible" 90's songs.[1]
In January 2015, Twitter user Doctor Cupcakes posted two images of several songs that would have been featured in the game, such as "Disposable Heroes" by Metallica.[2][3] On February 15, 2015, Episode 3 of the Unseen64 podcast was released on Patreon to exclusive customers. This episode contained some information on the cancelled video game.[4]
Reboot of the franchise
In April 2015, Activision announced a true seventh installment of the Guitar Hero franchise. Titled Guitar Hero Live, this video game uses live-action musicians and music video backgrounds instead of CGI characters. This game was released on October 20, 2015 to positive reviews.
