Guitar Hero Live announced

New music game coming this Fall, combines real video with gameplay

Posted on

Activision Publishing has announced Guitar Hero Live, coming later this year.

Developed by FreeStyleGames, the studio behind DJ Hero and DJ Hero 2, Guitar Hero Live introduces two ways to play, including GH Live, a first-person point of view where you are up on stage as the star of the show. GH Live is a live-action experience that simulates being on stage and performing in a real band, in front of real crowds, who dynamically react in real-time to how well or poorly you play. As the lead guitarist, you play an array of songs in a variety of venues, from the smallest club stage in front of a hundred people, to the massive main stage of an outdoor festival in front of a hundred thousand people.

Guitar Hero Live also introduces GHTV, a playable music video network. GHTV is a 24-hour mode that lets fans play along to a continually-updated collection of official music videos – across a wide variety of genres – from the newest releases to favorite hits. Fans can pick from multiple channels and themed shows, and can also choose songs to play on-demand. In GHTV, fans can also play with their friends in the same room and against players from around the world to see who has the highest score on a given song, while completing challenges along the way.

Guitar Hero Live also introducing a redesigned guitar controller, featuring two rows of three buttons that better reflects the way people naturally play. For beginners, you can play with just the bottom three buttons. Medium-level players don’t have to stretch their fingers down the neck of the guitar controller anymore and can instead play two-row combinations that mimic real chords. Experienced players have a new challenge in creating complex chord-like shapes and finger combinations.

Guitar Hero Live takes the approach of the modern music festival, with rock, folk, EDM, hip-hop, country and pop acts sharing the same stage. The game promises hundreds of playable songs from a diverse array of artists, including The Black Keys, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Gary Clark, Jr., Green Day, Ed Sheeran, The War on Drugs, The Killers, Skrillex, The Rolling Stones, The Lumineers, Carrie Underwood, Pierce the Veil and Blitz Kids.

Guitar Hero Live will be available Fall 2015 on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, Xbox One and Xbox 360, the Wii U and select mobile devices to be announced soon.
