New Guitar Hero Will be First-Person, Feature a Redesigned Controller

The new Guitar Hero game, set to be officially revealed later today, will play in a first-person perspective and feature a redesigned guitar peripheral, according to a report by Le Monde.

In what appears to be an embargo-busting report, the French newspaper revealed that the game is being developed by British developer FreeStyleGames, the creator of Activision’s DJ Hero series. The redesigned guitar controller is said to feature two rows of three keys. The post has since been taken down.

Activision published posted a blatantly obvious teaser video for the series' return yesterday, following weeks of speculation. A full announcement is expected today. We’ll bring the full report then.

Has a teaser campaign ever not been ballsed up by leaks?

  • Last Guitar Hero I got was 5 and it was like $170 if this game is more then that with the Guitar I shall pass.
  • I get virtual stage fright
  • Fun game. Was wondering where it got to xD
  • Yesterday I said i'd get it if it came to Wii U, only because Rock Band isn't. Well... Nevermind lol. Not interested anymore.
  • Passing
  • yeah idk how that controller's going to work if they redesigned the keys like that, should have just left it the way it was, or at least added a 6th note after the 5th instead of adding a new row
  • Still not interested.
  • Guess that means instruments won't work with Rock Band and via versa. I know which game I'll be getting.
  • ... So, this is a first person guitarer then?Do I snipe notes? Acti, what are you guys doing?
  • People said the original would be a bust. My kids still play it today. Any game that introduces this generation to 70s,80s, and 90s rock music is a plus to me. Nothing better than walking into a house rocking Metallica One after a long day work and seeing my kids rocking out in the living room. I hope they recycle some of the songs from the originals, or at least allow us to repurchase the packs. Definite purchase for me.
  • I bet they are only doing this because Rock Band is coming back.
  • I will get it no matter what, love guitar hero/rock band.
  • This looks badass, Rock Band has their work cut out for them.
  • So it's less they have to design and a 3 button guitar from the looks of it? Rock Band again wins the rhythm game wars
  • I played a lot of guitar hero during the first 3 games. Everything else afterwards just wasn't the same. Give me the old controller with all the games re-released on one and they would have a customer. Otherwise I'm just not interested anymore.
  • @#12 Yeah, because they managed to put all that together in the space of time between the Rock Band announcement and now.....duh!
