[QUOTE="The Feedster, post: 509893, member: 259515"] [I]Guitar Hero IV[/I] is set to follow in [I]Rock Band’s[/I] Cuban-heeled footsteps and also feature a drum and microphone peripheral, according to a recent interview with Activision CEO Bobby Kotick. Following the planned release of *[I]Guitar Hero: Aerosmith[/I]*in June, Activision will then concentrate on the development of [I]Guitar Hero IV[/I] which, also like [I]Rock Band[/I], will feature new downloadable tunes released on a weekly basis. [B]Local bands[/B] Kotick also noted that [I]Guitar Hero IV[/I] could also have “local content” from “local bands” – meaning that it could well follow on from MySpace as being a new way of ‘breaking’ new bands. Aside from the issue of naming (should a game called [I]Guitar Hero[/I] feature drums?) it will be interesting to see if [I]Guitar Hero IV[/I] is able to compete with [I]Rock Band,[/I] a new franchise on the ‘bands in a box’ block that has the considerable weight of MTV and Electronic Arts behind it. [B]Universal's back catalogue[/B] Activision’s recent merger with Vivendi also means that the company will have access to content from Universal Music. TechRadar hopes they manage both to do a decent job on the development (sales of past versions of Guitar Hero suggest they’ve been doing something right…) and to market the product at a reasonable price in Europe, something that EA has singularly failed to do with the criminally over-priced £180 price-tagged Rock Band.
