Band Hero

[D Mac]

UGH

Band Hero is the second of Activision's Hero trifecta for this fall. Don't be confused, Band Hero is completely separate from Guitar Hero. Except it's very similar -- it's Activision's attempt at a family-oriented Guitar Hero game, rated E10+, and will be facing off against Harmonix's Lego Rock Band later this year.

Confirmed Artists
1.)Janet Jackson
2.)Jesse McCartney
3.)Culture Club
4.)Snow Patrol
5.)The Go-Go's
6.)Fall Out Boy
7.)The Turtles
8.)Marvin Gaye
9.)Maroon 5

lol

[Fignuts]

ok this is getting insane

[Funky Fly]

Fuck Activision.

[Fignuts]

And yet I will still probably buy the disc.

[FearedSanctity]

Pretty sure Activision is just trying to kill the genre off, seeing as how Harmonix and Rock Band pretty much own it

[D Mac]

Very funny The Mackem.

[The Mackem]

Unfortuantely I can't ban him from here, maybe delete his posts...if he posted here.

[Kalyx triaD]

Ugh

[Kalyx triaD]

Technically the games already out can be family oriented, my mother played drums on "Beat It". I don't think this game (or LEGO Rock Band) is needed.

[Funky Fly]

Pretty much. There's just no need.

Pretty much. There's just no need.

What you guys said. I mean, the game's already rated Teen to appeal to a larger audience. Going down to E10 seems like a minimal return and with artists like M5 and Marvin Gaye, I'm not sure the content is really going to be that much more appropriate.

I hope to God they put "This Love" by M5 and "Let's Get It On" By Marvin Gaye, though. That would be amazing.

...Even if you're not a fan of either song, you have to appreciate the stupidity there.

[Funky Fly]

Didn't that Kidz Bop cover This Love on one of their CDs?

[Kalyx triaD]

I think so.

They should use those Kidz Bop tracks, It would make sense, not that it'll give it relevance in the end or whatever (Sponge Bob tracks are on RB2). So yeah, still a suck idea and wasted funds.

[Kane Knight]

yeah, you heard that from me. :p

^THIS.

[D Mac]

This Love by Pantera? :shifty:

[Kane Knight]

This Love by Pantera? :shifty:

I'd ask if you knew any heterosexual music, but even if you didn't you should know M5.

[Fryza]

Will skip this for LEGO Rock Band.

[Kane Knight]

Will skip both and possibly buy them if they hit 20 bucks later.

It's just a GH 5 clone. Wonder if the setlist can be exported into GH 5. Doubt it. Since the rest of World Tour and Smash Hits aren't even in there yet.

No Doubt Files Lawsuit Against Activision
Band is not happy with the publisher's latest music title Band Hero.
by Jim Reilly

November 4, 2009 - Musical artist No Doubt has filed a lawsuit against videogame publisher Activision over the apparent misuse of the band's likeness its newest music title Band Hero, reports Rolling Stone.

The lawsuit complaints range from fraudulent inducement to breach of contract, arguing the group has been turned into "a virtual karaoke circus act."

The group also disapproved of their likeness being used to sing songs by other artists and allowing players to isolate individual members out of the group.

"No Doubt agreed to place avatars containing their name and likeness performing three No Doubt songs in the upcoming Band Hero game of the Guitar Hero series from Activision," the group said in a provided statement. "Without the band's knowledge or approval Activision turned the group into virtual karaoke players by having them perform over 60 additional songs by other musical groups."

According to the report, No Doubt has asked Activision to honor its contract, but the publisher has refused saying the cost to fix the problem would be "too expensive."

Artist Courtney Love also sued Activision in September for similar reasons regarding late-husband Kurt Cobain for his misused likeness in Guitar Hero 5.



Good

[Kalyx triaD]

Well so long as the actual band is suing and there was a specific portion of the contract. They're in the right.

The Cobain thing is still fucking gay, though.

[D Mac]

Fucking idiots :nono: (No Doubt)

[OssMan]

Buy this game, support the little guy and take down the fucking obnoxious musical Hero games once and for all

[Kalyx triaD]

What?

[G]

assmani is confused

[DAMN iNATOR]

Buy this game, support the little guy and take down the fucking obnoxious musical Hero games once and for all

I don't think you "get" that the more into the millions of copies of any game that are sold, the higher the likelihood that there will be something like a Band Hero 2 in the future.

I don't think you "get" that he's joking.

[Disturbed316]

This is fucking ridiculous, too many music games now.

[G]

Not necessarily. They can come out with them once a month for all I care, as long as you can import most of the songs over for $5. We're the real winners here. :y:
