Latest SEC filing by Activision confirms Bay Area metal quartet will be subject of next band-centric rhythm game; new James Bond game gets final title.

Earlier this year, Activision unveiled Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, the first installment in its billion-dollar rhythm series based entirely on a band. No sooner had the publisher announced the deal than speculation began to spread about what the second band-based Guitar Hero game would be. Along with Van Halen, the most mentioned group was Metallica, the legendary San Francisco Bay Area heavy-metal quartet.


Time to ride the royalty lightning!Now, talk of Guitar Hero: Metallica is no longer a case of wishful thinking or idle speculation--it's fact. When sifting through an SEC filing of Activision's over the weekend, Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Edward Woo--associate of the highly visible Michael Pachter--uncovered a gem in the section where the Santa Monica, California-based publisher discussed its upcoming game slate.

"In fiscal 2009, we plan to publish Guitar Hero: On Tour for the NDS; Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, Guitar Hero: Metallica, and Guitar Hero IV across multiple platforms," the company said in its report. Activision's fiscal year ends on March 31, 2009, which means that the game will likely follow the holiday release of Guitar Hero: World Tour (nee Guitar Hero 4).

Guitar Hero: Metallica will be the first time a game based on the multiplatinum-selling band--which has become only slightly less famous for its antipiracy efforts as its musical achievements--has made it to retail. However, it is the second such game to be announced. In 2003, Vivendi Games--which will soon merge with Activision--struck a deal to create a vehicular combat game inspired by Metallica's music. Unconfirmed reports stated that the project had been quietly canceled in 2005.

In other news, Activision's SEC filing also confirmed that the next James Bond game, which will be developed by Treyarch using the Call of Duty 4 engine, will indeed be titled Quantum of Solace like the next James Bond film.

Cue DMac splurge

Diesle Mac just killed him self with gun shot like load to the face.

Guitar Hero : Michael Bolton

Guitar Hero: Kenny G...only with a saxophone

2 Guitar Hero games I won't be buying now

Gonna wait and see how gh IV and gh aerosmith play. If a lot of songs still feel more like work than fun, like in gh III, then I'm gonna pass.

I used to love Metallica, so I might rent it. I've only liked a couple of songs from the 90s to now. I like some of the music they used to be influenced by so it could be fun.

Activision better cool it with all the Guitar Hero games before people lost interest because they made too many. Who knows, maybe they can still be rally popular 5 years from now.

Which button do you press to blow.

None.

It does the blowing for you.

cool

Wow, now I want to play Saxophone Hero.

I like the news, but not the tactics surrounding it.

Kenny G: Master Blower.

Guitar Hero: Michael McDonald

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT
Fuck YES Fuck YES Fuck YES Fuck YES Fuck YES Fuck YES Fuck YES Fuck YES Fuck YES Fuck YES Fuck YES Fuck YES Fuck YES Fuck YES Fuck YES:heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:

I was waiting on that. Surprised D-Mac wasn't the one to post about this to be honest..

There.

So can you please stop bitching about EVERY rockband dlc release now?

NO. I still want Metallica for RB for drums and vocals. :mad:

Hey FA. I might have a PS3 by the time this comes out so we can jam on it! :D

Hey, wiseguy, they said its coming out AFTER Guitar Hero IV.

Flute Hero- Pretty pink tutu and hula hoop sold seperatly

FA and DMac must never meet. The sex would be so brutal it would take out half a city block.

In yr dreams.

It's essentially confirmed by Metallica now.

There will probably be way too much Load (pun intended :naughty: ) and Re-Load on this game anyway. Like I'm sure Fuel will be all over it, come on. They should have made it Guitar Hero: Metallica Before the Black Album

Aerosmith was was pretty fun, so I'll check this out. I think people exaggerated about the ease of GH: Aero. It was about the same level as the Default setlist on rockband. But more importantly, the notecharts were well done, and fun.

And I don't hate black and everything that came after it, like most metallica fans, so I don't care what they put on it.

This is awesome. But Rock Band better not suffer from lack of Met. because of this.

Harmonix has an agreement with metallica to do 15 songs. Beyond that, I'd imagine they'll be sticking to GH.

Guitar Hero: Mehtallica. Nah. I'll probably get it, but I haven't even picked up Aerosmith yet, and they're by far the better band.

No, they're not. :mad:

D-Mac: Metallica Fag Hag.
