A few people from the studio they fired said the real reason was Activision envisioning every game being a billion dollar revenue producer (or at least the main games) even during the year they pumped out too many games. Activision is also a company that favors the quick mega sales over the slower gradual sales but that was due to CoD being soo easy to reach multi-million status.

The same ended up happening to Tony Hawk but that was over a much longer period of time than GH/DJ Hero series.

The irony is they've vowed to not do the same thing to CoD they did to Guitar Hero.

The funny thing is, I'm not even sure they know what makes CoD sell so well. Like, I'm not even knocking the franchise, but it's easy to milk a series when it's on top. If the next game sold poorly, though, would they know what to do to correct that? Are they in touch enough to save that franchise?

Not to completely bash them for trashing the GH franchise because I understand that there was always some level of "fad" to the craze.

But oversaturation is a bad thing in any market, and fuck did they do that..

That's the main series. Not even including the 3 portable titles or DJ Hero titles. GH came out in 2005. Completely fucking ridiculous.

Let me take a crack at armchair publishing:

First, we don't count the Harmonix games, we start at GH3.

Guitar Hero 3

Drop this title as it went down. Had some acclaim, people dug it.

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith

I'll give Activision the benefit of the doubt here. They're excited, they have a new franchise, let's try one off-shoot.

Guitar Hero: World Tour

We gotta compete with Rock Band. Full band set, broader range of music, music creation mode. GH3 DLC, made for a different engine, may not work. I'll accept that. So far so good. MOST MUSIC TO BE FUTURE PROOFED AS EXPORTABLE DLC, WE KNOW WE'RE MAKING ANOTHER ONE.

Guitar Hero: Metallica

It's a big band, with a big price tag. Lot's of people wanted Met on a music game. No exclusive instruments, smart move. Accepts Death Magnetic DLC, good. Cross-compatible with music creations, also good. ADD OPTION TO EXPORT MUSIC TO GHWT. People would have to buy the game anyway. License issues, well at least allow WT DLC for this game. No, James Hetfield wouldn't be playable for The Touch.

Guitar Hero: Smash Hits

THIS WOULD NOT EXIST. All music (master tracks no doubt!) would have been DLC promoted as Smash Hits DLC, sold separately. Game was a waste of production, waste of printing, waste of shipping, etc.

Guitar Hero 5

The new engine. I can get that. Nice adjustments to interface. Great party play mode. New instruments, although past instruments are compatible. LEAVE MUSIC CREATION ALONE, JUST ADJUST INTERFACE - NO GALAXY BULLSHIT. Past music creations are compatible, in fact the platform is expanded to a whole new hub. If DLC strategy still sucks at this point, the music studio 'DLC' will be the trump card. Put a lot of effort behind this.

Guitar Hero: Van Halen

What? No. DLC pack. Save a lot of stress. The rendered band could have been DLC.

Band Hero

No, another DLC pack. And as far as reaction is concerned, it would have proved to be a popular pack. Rendered celebs would have also been DLC.

Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock

Desperate cash-in. Would not exist in it's current form. Would have been Guitar Hero 6, touted as a return to rock orientation. Rhythm guitar play returns. Back-DLC compatible. Expanded music creation tool to include crowd reaction effects and camera angles. Basically remove any sign of WoR's design.

If it all still fails, blame consumers and Harmonix.

I got Aerosmith and 5 from major deals. And Band Hero as a gift.

But most of the spin-offs should have been DLC.

I don't care for this whole "Pre-rendered bands as DLC" either. I'm betting it wouldn't be cost effective for them, and thus excpensive for us.

Also, with the suit about Cobain doing the YMCA and such....

What kind of faggot would pay to download a band that could only play their tunes?

Actually, I like the idea of releasing a game that's a family friendly platform. Lego Rock Band allowed access to the RB library, provided it was family friendly.

If Band Hero did that, I could justify it as something other than DLC packs. Of course, it didn't. Not exactly, anyway.

Lego RB had a theme with it's own visuals and charm, Band Hero was GH 5 with a gay color set and Taylor Swift.

Not to harp on this, but I found this article from Kotaku while researching some shit for my dad:

http://kotaku.com/#!5483798/guess-wh...mment=20004278

ONE YEAR AGO, Guitar Hero was one of the three pillars accounting for almost 70% of the revenues of Activision. The other two were (Unsurprisingly) CoD and WoW.
