Guitar Hero News

Microsoft and Sony need to grow the population of gamers, and their new consoles are not equipped to do so.

The following blog was, unless otherwise noted, independently written by a member of Gamasutra's game development community.

The biggest, most recent example is the Wiimote, a motion sensitive controller from On paper, the Rift by Oculus looks similarly ill-fated. It's ambitious, it's novel - like lightguns, dancemats and Guitar Hero before it, it looks like something that might inspire a few years' of gold rush before petering out forever.

SAT, 5/4/13 Seris plays technical metal without trying to splice in another genre of music willy nilly.

You know those goofy tennis racket peripherals that allow for Wiimote insertion? Or, perhaps more sensibly, those Guitar Hero axes that wouldn't function without a Wiimote planted at the heart ? Looks as if Nintendo's going to do us all one better.
