EDIT: I REALLY like how you guys are saying senior or non-senior. If possible, can everyone do that? It'll make separating WAY easier. Especially as I see this having as many entries as the Call of Duty contest, and that one had almost 900 entries!

[Dragonfire 360]

Non-senior entry.

GT: Dragonfire 360

Answer: It has been done by Rock Band, but the drums should be included. They are a major part of all good rock songs. Not to mention the drums included with Rock Band aren't exactly pefect. It would be very appreciated if Red Octane would improve them.

[HoodMod]

Senior entry.

GT: HoodMod

Answer :I agree with Dragonfire. I would like to see the Guitar Hero take on the drums. Maybe it will have more excessive difficulty, as that seems to their thing. They took guitar to the limit, why not drums?

[Nick G 42390]

Senior Entry. :p

Gamer Tag; PRO Nick G

Answer: I think they should utilize a bass guitar, but, a real bass Guitar. Not just another guitar plugged in. I think they should add another guitar that looks like a real bass that way you could have a killer co-op for the game. There's my 2 cents and I'm glad there's finally a senior member contest.:p

[Fonkey Monkey]

hopefully im a senior member by now.
gt-Fonkey Monkey
answer-since theyve already done rock band, i think they should do like an orchestra game with like a violin,bass, and fiddle or something, it would be unique and interesting.

[n1n3t33nd3lta]

Senior entry.

GT: n1n3t33nd3lta

Reply: They should include a bass, with only four buttons. Most(notice I said most) bands play with a bass that consists of only four strings, so why is there five buttons? Doesn't make sense. Also, they should make it a Gibson Thunderbird like Nikki Sixx plays.

[RickOfPompey]

Non-Senior entry
GT - rickofpompey

Like has already been said, Rockband has covered it. A drum hero would be good.

[ZyNLeX]

Non-Senior entry :(

Gamertag: ZyNLeX

I'm not very creative so yes drums =]

[Slormer]

Senior Member.
GT: Slormer

I would also like to see Drum Hero.

(Side question, if you are a senior member, does that mean you are entering two contests at once, where you would be drawn once for the T-Shirt, and then again for the other prizes?)

Razzle Edit: Correct! Senior members get an entry into each contest!

[SCB]

Non-Senior

GT SCB360, My ideas are:

Piano Hero
Acid Hero (Like Guitar Hero but more trippy on drugs lol)
Saxophone Hero
Tamborine Hero

[Sweet666Kraven]

Senior Entry

GT - Sweet666Kraven

I think RedOctane should implement the Triangle into a game. Triangle hero would just be fantastic.

[sterob70]

non-Senior Entry

Gt-Sterob70

Idea------Banjo Hero or even Washboard Hero(with 2 Designs of washboard and free stickers)

[Tenacious C DSM]

Non-Senior entry

GT: Tenacious C DSM

answer: I think a keyboard hero would be good or dj hero involving some scratching

[DFILL450]

Senior Entry

GT: DFILL450

I would love to see just a drum game. Rock Band did an okay job with the drums, but I think it can be done much better. They could make a more responsive drum pad, and change up the pads so its more like playing a real drum kit.

[BloodyBunnies]

Senior Entry

GT: BloodyBunnies

Flute Hero..

[Hotoke]

Non-senior entry.

GT: Felipernani

Answer: BAGPIPE HERO FTW!
lol the purpose is to be creative isn't it? :P

EDIT: just remembered something - we could have Cowbell Hero, with (Don't Fear) The Reaper as the final song! lol

[Xterm1n8or]

Senior Entry

GT : Xterm1n8or

Answer : Hmm i think maybe not in the way of a new instrument, but possibly add 2 or 3 more frets to the guitar and game so you have like 8 instead of 5, would make it more of a challenge?

[soccerplaya13cj]

I think we should have marching band hero. Instead of instruments like trumpet, tuba, etc., you can play snare, quints, sexs, bass drums, or cymbals. Alot of bands attach cowbells and cymbals to snares so it should be an option to add other pads to your snare pads. Just an idea.

nonsenior
GT: Soccerplaya13cj

[gamergirl11]

Non Senior :D

Gamertag: mirrum

Answer: I honestly think a 'Piano Hero' would amazingly fun and awesome...but hard!!!

[alexgamerz]

Non-senior entry.

GT: alexgamerz

Answer: A cowbell. Cowbell Hero!!!, watch the video on youtube.

[Freefloater]

Gamertag: Freefloater

I think a "piano" hero would be super cool!

[zdarko43]

:)

GT: zdarko

I think they ought to put an effect peddle in. After all, they have those ethernet plug-ins on the guitars for a reason I'm sure of it! May as well utilize it now! :)

OR better yet, how about a Disc - Jockey Hero? How cool would it be to put some beats down on a turntable??

(P.S. You said
Senior member requirements must have been reached by Tuesday January 1th.

Am I the only one that caught that? ;) )

[fugitivetoby31]

Senior entry

I think they should add a set of cd style turntables and have a

'DJ Hero game'

Afterall everyone likes to hit the decks.

Ok not exactly an Instrument in the literary sense but it is a modern style of music.

:)

GT: zdarko


(P.S. You said


Am I the only one that caught that? ;) )

LOL That means that you have to of reached 'senior' status ie number of posts by that date, not your entry.

9/10 for effort though ;)


BTW excuse the double post, I didn't edit my original as myself and Zdarko posted the dj idea at exactly the same time and I don't want anyone thinking I changed mine on an edit.

[Moodath]

GT - Attackofthemoo

I'd like to see a Keyboard Hero, or a new Guitar Hero with 3-4 Extra frets. Would feel more like a rock star ;D

[ZeroCoolest]

Non-senior member
GT - ZeroCoolest
I think that they should add the cowbell....i got a fever and the only remedy is more cowbell.

[I o DGK o I]

GT- I o DGK o I

i think they should put in the drums like they have in rock band....the drums if in GH4 would be amazing and be more interactive with friends

[Khaos86]

Non-Senior Entry

GT- DeathDriver86

As far as the question: I'd like to see Bass Hero- focusing only on the bass guitar. I know that its been included in the previous installments, but as a bass player myself, I'd like nothing more then a game solely about it.:p

[vicko]

Non senior entry

Gamertag: Blain uk

Maybe fender could make a guitar with just three buttons so we could play Status Quo just like they do :)

[infradude]

Senior Entry

Gamertag: infradude

Question: "What instrument should Red Octane utilize for their next Hero game?"

Answer: A cool instrument they should think about using is a violin. It could be like the guitar with colored buttons that would be used as frets on the violin. It would be pretty nasty in songs like "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas.

[narcolepticshee]

Senior Entry

Gamertag: Narcolepticshee

Question: "What instrument should Red Octane utilize for the next Hero Game?"

Answer: I think a three stringed spike fiddle would be appropriate

[Wriggy]

GamerTag: Wriggy

"What instrument should Red Octane utilize for their next Hero game?"

I'd like to see Electric Triangle Hero. The triangle is a very hard instrument to play...

20 second job:

[Fishy2606]

Non-Senior (not really to sure what it means, but i take it to mean i'm a newbie! - which i am, coz i dont know what it means! lol!)

GT: Fishy2606

I think a game based on drums alone would get rather dull, and like most of you say, it is in Rock Band. So i think that there should be a Keyboard Hero! Which would probably just be a keyboard for your 360, but eventually it would teach you to play keyboard for real!

[AlphaXGamerXDad]

I don't want a new instrument, I want a better Guitar Hero. How about.......
-adding a set of pedals as previously posted
-running buttons down the entire neck, maybe 10-15 total that could
be different shades of the existing colors
-drop the stupid @$$ star power and give bonus when game detects
guitar being held in different than normal position
-utilize the camera so you can windmill and leg kick like an 80's madman
-maybe it's just my copy but could the game possibly not lag when
star power is used if they don't get rid of it entirely
-and finally how about a lil bonus for hitting hammer-ons
If a new instrument is needed I say Recorder or Ocarina Hero would be sweet!:rock

[Distilled84]

Non-senior entry

GT: Distilled84

I think it would be awesome if they had another guitar hero game but with a twin neck guitar. It's not likely to ever happen, the guitar would be huge and I'm not sure what would differ in gameplay but I think that would be cool to see.

[UTSBlaze]

Non Senior

Gamer tag - iLeY uK

I think Red Octane/Neversoft should implement drums into the series. It would compete with Rock band and give fans more choice. Not very original but if GH wants to keep up with Rock band or even excede it then drums would be a great start.

[DropDeadArtemus]

senior member

GT: DropDeadArtemus

I would really like to see some sort of keyboard hero introduced with some crazy techno-esque tracks. Electronica FTW!

Send that XL T-shirt my way.

Digareedoo Hero

GT: Pieface876

[ReneG]

They should add a bass

Gamertag : ReneG

[Chorley]

non-senior entry.

gamertag: Chorley

answer: i would say drums if it hadn't already been done rather well by nintendo with their kongo beat things, i would prefer to see a new instrument that hasn't been used in a game so i'd say keyboard/piano with the choice of what style of music you play.

[Justicezero]

Non-Senior Entry

GT: Justicezero

Answer: 2 parter, I'd like to see them do Scratch Hero (Turntables) or Keyboards/Piano. If they go drums now it won't sell too well considering most people don't want multiple drum set peripherals

[slipknotted]

gamer tag aXLamb of GodX


i think a keyboard would be alright but why mess with a good thing.i think guitar hero is fine they just need to release more genres of rock games.such as heavy metal hero or classic rock hero or pop rock hero or even like 80's hero like before.i dont think guitar hero should add anymore instruments cuz then its just another rock band

[Sora27]

non-senior entry

gamertag: Viva la Jmax27

Like Justicezero said, and I've had this idea for a while, I'm not stealing it, that a keyboard/piano game would be the next new instrument to add. We already have drums, guitar, and singing, and the keyboard/piano is the next logical instrument. This is because it is used in so many classic rock songs, from Jessica to Carry on Wayward Son to Won't Get Fooled Again (to use some examples of songs already used in the Guitar Hero and Rock Band series).

Plus the peripheral could be easily based off a keyboard, just much smaller: a set of keys representing each note, or even only a few of the notes, and a pedal like most regular pianos have.

Question: "What instrument should Red Octane utilize for the next Hero Game?"

Zeusaphone Hero. Red Octane not responsible for increase in electricity bill.

[KRIS DETH]

Answer: As Alot of People Have Said ROCK BAND.......Has Bass/Drums/Vox.
But I Think A Vox Hero Would Be Good As Playstation Have All Of The Singstar Range.

[hXc ShotS]

Gamertag:hXc ShotS

Answer: I think that GuitarHero franchise is doing great as is. even though i was a little disappointed with GH3. i think they could add more features to the guitar though.
ie: make it look sleeker like the rockband one.
it be cool to add more the 5 buttons =]

stuff like that

and lmao at the electric triangle and spike fiddle remark. hahaha

[WingMan800]

It has been said before but I really would love to see the drum aspect of games explore. I once owned the Taiko Drum game for ps2 and found it amusing.

[antnie]

senior post

GT: antnie0425
I think that they should include keyboards also all of the instruments that rock band has.

[Mirksta]

Senior (:woop:)

GT: Mirksta

Answer- some sort of more complicated guitar. I don't see the point in expanding beyond the guitar in a game called guitar hero. Maybe more buttons for solos like the rock band one apparently has. Or, make the current one really awesome, with pressure sensative buttons allowing for vibrato or bending, which would be pretty cool.
But turntables would be a cool addition, imagine how cool you'd look :Bounce:

[drno]

Senior Member
GT: EatMoreHippo

I personally would like to see some kinda wind instrument hero. Either a saxophone or a flute. Somehow they should try to utilize not only your fingers but your mouth too. That would be one hell of an in-game experience.

[redster360]

non-senior entry.

GT- REDSTER360

answer- the drums. sure rock band has it all but if they can include the the drums in a affordibal bundal i think every thing will work out.

Gamertag: CMorrigu

Answer: Keyboard. I haven't dragged my Keyboardmania games out in awhile, but I did have fun playing them. I would like to see a separate game as well as integration into Rock Band 2. Beyond that, I would think we'll be seeing winds and other strings as a next step.

[papoose]

[wes132456]

Gamertag: F4LL3N 5KAT3R

answer: Rock band is the answer, but I don't think they should have gone all that far with the singing, keep it with guitars and drums.

[RFT 123]

Answer:Well, I think there should be a Tambourine hero! It may sound like an easy instrument to play, but it isn't!

[Bomber37]

I think that more fret buttons might be kind of cool.

[Vogey77]

[noelthemole]

Non-Senior Entry

Gamertag: NoelTheMole

Answer: If we are talking about adding to the guitar hero game I would say we need to see drums. It would basically just be stealing from Rock Band but you would not have to add the singing aspect. If you want a brand new game with just its own standalone instrument I'm not sure what the mass audience would want to play. I would say the PIANO Keyboard. Thats actually something they could make in game and would really transfer onto a real piano. The keys for songs could be the exact same and could actually be a cool training tool if you take it that way.

I definatly think drum hero would be really good however the drums would have to be good (and also look like a set of drums not electronic pads)

[Cyrex]

They should introduce the microphone and people should try to sing the guitar solo's because i know i do when i hear a song on the radio or listen to a song that i know very well

[Sina117]

GT: Sina117

They could make a set including turntables, voice augmenting thingies, and a digeridoo from australia. But on a serious note i think they should just have a cord with a usb ending on one end and a 1/4 in audio jack on the other and you could play a real guitar and have the new game recognize the pitch like the vocals in rock band. Think about it redoctane, a simple cord in a collector's-sized box is alot cheaper than a whole new guitar. Plus you would appeal to a whole new demographic, the people who hate guitar hero because they play real guitar. ehh? EHH? It's an awesome idea.

[Blind x360a]

Non-Senoir:

They need to make a drum hero, drums on RB are great so drums would kick ass.

[King James 23]

Non-Senior

GT: XLJAMESKING23X

I think a piano hero would be awsome or another guitar hero with frets on the bottom of the neck to make the solos feel a bit more realistic.

[VA1N]

GT: VA1N

Answer: I don't think they should add any instruments. Trying to compete with Rock Band will only take away from the already amazing guitar gameplay. Rock Band utilizes many instruments and in doing so doesn't master any of them. Guitar Hero focuses on one instrument and sets the bar insanely high. They should stick to what they are doing great and not worry about the other instruments. If they want to create a Drum Hero, go for it, but make sure it's a separate game.

[X monkfish69 X]

GT: X monkfish69 X

How about a Glockenspiel ? They don't get used in music nowadays that much, if at all ! I know it might make a pretty crappy game, but it sounded funny when I thought it up !

EDIT: Besides 1 million+ people have suggested Drum's/Drum Hero already.....

[Cold Rival]

Senior Member

GT: Cold Rival

Question: I can't quite remember...

... But what they should do is continue down the path they're on. It's working well for them (what ain't broken...ect.). If they're really looking to improve though, then I think making the way you play the guitar more realistic. For example, either having more buttons along the frets, or incorperating sensors onto the buttons to allow for bends. This could be a requirement in some of the songs too, whereby as the notes come towards you on-screen, they have curves in them to indicate the direction of the bend.

Or you could follow the demands of many and go with the drums. Which hell, would be a great game nevertheless.

[Janca5]

Non Senior

GT: Janca5

I think they need to do a drum set, not like the rock band version, but set up like a real set. Also they should have a freestyle mode or something where you can just rock out. One good thing would be if they could make it not cost so much as rock band, $170 was too much.

[Freddyk]

non senior entry

gt: Freddyk

Question: What instrument should red octane utilize for their next hero game?

i think they should try and go with a game that utilizes the design of a real guitar. Could this possibly be a chance for them to make a game that actually teaches people to play guitar.

[iskoot]

I like the idea of a guitar with more than 5 buttons!!!!:woop:
Or even a Piano/Keyboard Hero would be pretty awesome to...one that utilized the entire length and not just some chopped up 10 button board.

GT= Iskoot

[UltraAmoeba]

GT; UltraAmoeba

Guitar hero should stay as it is but more buttons should be introduced all down the fretboard!
It would be fully epic!!

[Birky]

GT: Birky69

Answer: Washboard Hero all the way... I would pwn all n00bs at that...

Also just as a general note: I think that if you ever do senior contest again the limits should be higher, like 5 or 6 months and 500 or 750 posts... Just my opinion.

My girlfriend always jokes that there should be a Fiddle hero, since she likes to rock out on her air-fiddle to Charlie Daniels. Myself, I think a Piano Hero type game would be fun, and could actually be somewhat instructional as well. Of course it wouldn't be popular though. :p

Answer: It needs to continue to be Guitar Hero. That being said, something more resembling a bass would be cool, but I do not think they should add a different instrument.

[Otisbum]

Non-Senior Entry:

GT: OtisFamily

Answer: Keyboards. While not nearly as large as the instruments implemented by both GH and Rock Band, they are an important part in musical history (when grouped with the piano), and besides, who doesn't want to play Van Halen's "Jump" on Keytar Hero?

A double neck guitar is my dream... One neck for high notes (circle notes) and one neck for low notes (triangle notes). Then for added bonus a pedal (like the one from rock band) you can do solos with a "wah wah" pedal...

Answer: I would have to agree with the privious posts. Piano/keyboard Hero would be cool as well as DJ Hero w/turntables. I have seen an arcade game with the turn tables before, it would be good if they can make them for a home consolse system.

Harp Hero. Think about it. How awesome and difficult would that be? I would love something like that.

[jqtaxpayer]

I'd like to see some kind of in-game effects board, where -- maybe as in-game unlockables -- you can change the effects on the guitar, adding reverb, fuzz, delay, or give the guitar an acoustic sound...

Or -- get THIS -- maybe simulating the sounds of certain guitars... like how "Paranoid" would sound if played on a Rickenbacker 12-string or -- dare I say it? -- a Danelectro Coral Electric Sitar! I understand that would entail hella licensing difficulties, but a 12-string effect and/or a sitar effect would still be possible without that licensing.

Oh, and axe the Axe advertisements, please.

EDIT: Also, I'm apparently a senior member... God, I feel old!

[Terrodar]

Non-Senior Member.

Rock Band has Bass,Drumms,Vocals -and- Guitar and Donkey Konga has the Bongos. Why not something quite innovative like Sax Hero? Or Synth Hero?

Personally i'd liket o see 'Jazz Hero'. Based around a variety of jazz instruments such as the Sax!

[SirGregMac81]

The next big release, Accordion Hero. No actually drums would be great.

[Bobtroid]

Senior Entry

GT: Bobtroid

Answer: I think they should make a game like Rock Band, but for guitar, put songs where guitars are a big part of the song. For drums, songs that are big on drums. And singing, maybe rap songs, since they are all singing for the most part.

Like mostly everyone has already stated, I think they should make their next hero game "drum hero". If red octane and activision could make the drums look realistic (like with a better bass pedal and cymbal looking thing) it'd be great. They could also add more drum heavy songs and focus on those unlike rock band. Maybe add some sensors on the sticks so that you could actually count it down? :D

For the next "hero" gamne, they should include the drums. This is because a lot of people play the drums and when they heard Rock Band had drums, they all brought that. So I was thinking that RedOctane should make a drums game called "Drum Hero" or something along the lines of that.

Question: "What instrument should Red Octane utilize for the next Hero Game?"

Answer: As many others have noted, the obvious answer would be to go for the drums, the impact they brought with rock band was unquestionable. Personally, as a huge fan of beatmania and keyboardmania I'd love to see these concepts somehow ported into guitar hero or even as a separate franchise, although that would probably be difficult in the American market. Oh well, I can always hope :D

Answer: I'm not too sure to be honest. For them to really do much else, they have to kill the name Guitar Hero. They can't throw in drums or something in a game called "Guitar Hero". In truth, I wish that both RedOctane and Harmonix could work together for an even better rhythm game. It'd have guitar, bass, drums, vocals, and any other number of instruments that could be possible.

It would pretty much have to have an instrument that's common in quite a few songs, enough to sustain a career. I just don't really know though, there's not too much they can go after. If they both work together, they could make an even better experience with faultless instruments, and not so noisy ones too.

Answer
How's about just giving the player a mic and an emulated sampler? It'll be a game where you are a producer and you either produce beats, rap, or do both! It'll be split into three areas: the establishment, the creation process, and the performance.

The Establishment
You create your look. You wanna be the nerdy white rapper who raps about video games and Star Wars? Fine. You want to be the next RZA, creating your own clan full of superior artists? That can be done as well (and this opens up for a cornucopia of possibilities online!) You create your physical appearance, which involves weight, hair, color, scars?, shoes, etc! And you can also select your rapping style: fast, witty, slow, emotional, etc. Stuff like that.

The Creation Process
Here you create a bet or select an already existing one and then you decide how long it will be, etc etc. Then you will rap and this can be done in increments, not all at once since, let's face it, not everyone is or can be a rapper but this is all supposed to be fun, right? So there can be other possibilities. After you leave the recording studio, you can edit the song with custom sound effects, etc. And then you can release the single and here, you can pick the look of the cover, the price, etc.

The Performance
This is it. You will preform live in front of an audience and this is where i get stumped. I haven't thought it through or how it will work but it sounds so cool.

So that's my idea, a little far fetched but eh, what are you gonna do?

I think they should utilize the Violin. We all saw the sweet redo of Devil went down to Georgia they did for Guitar Hero 3. Imagine actually having to play that on the instrument itself. Being a viola player i think it would be pretty exciting! Bach, Dvorak, Beethoven! yay! Though i could see a big complaint with having to hold the instrument (boo hoo :P) so for the lazy ones out there i guess the Keyboard/Piano would be fun too but ultimately... since the violin is used in plenty of songs I think that would be pretty sweet!

So Why not put the keyboard in the guitar just like the keytars(search them if you don't know what they look like), that'd be great. It'd still feel nice and confortable with the guitar, but it'd be a keyboard styled game. They should also add effects pedal and change the motion sensing, so tghat you can shake the thing and the notes bend, i always wantged that. So i got for the keytar with add ons.

Question: "What instrument should Red Octane utilize for the next Hero Game?"

Answer: Well 1 we have the guitar , 2 basically we already have the bass or "rhythm" part of the game in co-op matches utilized so thats done. Frankly i dont see another option besides of course the drums. Its very fun and id like to see it happen, however if you really wanted to go past Rock Band. I recommend an electric keyboard type insturment. Seeing as these do control alot of sounds in some bands. So i say we bring in Keyboard Hero. Its 8 fingered controller that you can put a strap around neck and hold at waist level ( u dont hold but its suspended) or you can put it on a desk, its got the menu buttons, diff colored buttons for each finger. There are a wide range of songs from classical to jazz to rock star techno with an electric keyboard.

It's a really tough call as to what they should do next. We got all of the Bemani series covering so many different types it isn't funny (keyboard, DJ turntables, guitar, drums, etc) so everything they'd make would look like a copy. Blown instruments would just show off all of the out of shape people, and the tuba would cause a lot of deaths (look at how addicted we are to our games, we end up with CP and STILL play with numb hands! Just imagine the people blowing...) Singing is also already done by Konami...

I have to go with the drums idea. The reason I like guitar hero so much is the feeling of holding a guitar in your hands, not the background animations and graphics, and not completely the soundtrack (although the GHIII soundtrack is pretty good). Similarly, there's nothing quite like playing a set of drums. However, the one gripe I would have is that Red Octane would have to reinvent the drum set from what Rock Band used as they just don't simulate the feeling quite as closely as they should.
