Guitar Hero Live

For a time, the rhythm game genre was flush with games vying for your attention. While it could be argued there was a bit of oversaturation in the marketplace, the disappearance of these peripheral-based games happened so suddenly, it was as if they never existed at all. Then a funny thing happened. Somewhere out in the ether, the idea for a resurgence took hold. It was as if someone shouted from the rooftops, "Let there be (virtual) rock!" Freestyle Games answered the call for Activision, and the Guitar Hero franchise was never the same. In fact, it was better than it ever was.

Apple has revealed their new Apple TV, and Guitar Hero, Disney Infinity 3.0, Crossy Road and Harmonix's next game are all going to be playable on it.

To celebrate Gamescom 2015, FreeStyleGames confirmed that microphone-based singing will be featured in Guitar Hero Live.

Guitar Hero Live is not the Guitar Hero you remember. Gone are the fictional fantasy worlds and over-the-top shredders on stage. Now we have a band rocking an actual stadium with screaming fans hanging on every note or the song’s actual music video playing like it was on '90s-era MTV. A new controller layout makes playing the GH guitar feel more realistic than ever. I got the chance to try it out at a private pre-E3 event, and what I thought would be an ordinary music game experience really impressed me.

This October, the music genre returns in a big way with the most iconic names in the game bringing all-new efforts to the front. Developed by FreeStyle Games, the team behind the memorable DJ Hero series, Guitar Hero Live isn't just a resurrection of the brand; it's a drastic reinvention of the game that helped launch a craze. At the front of Guitar Hero's return is a spanking-new controller, one that changes the way you play, while still being familiar enough that it's incredibly easy to fall back into without much effort. But the revamped guitar controller is just the beginning when it comes to FreeStyle's ambitious reworking of a series that desperately needed a kick in the pants.

Another 10 songs were announced by FreeStyle Games for Guitar Hero Live, and they have hundreds of more tracks on the way.

FreeStyle Games has announced 10 new songs that are going to be included in Guitar Hero Live's library, as hundreds more will be available on its launch date.

Activsion's Guitar Hero Live was announced late last month, but the development team has been slowly rolling out new details on what songs and artists to expect.

The first ten tracks available to play in the rebooted Guitar Hero Live have been revealed via the game's Facebook page.

Activision announced that there won't be an annual sequel to Guitar Hero Live, as we get a special, behind the scenes dev diary from FreeStyle Games.
