| disolitude said: All those people arguing that GHWT will be better...consider this- Guitar Hero was started and designed by Rockband people(Harmonix). They did guitar hero 1 and 2. Then were ripped off for GH3 since they wanted to make rockband instead. Now that Rockband blew the Guitar Hero franchise out of the water...they are being ripped off again. Lets see if the copier can be better than the original...I seriously doubt it. |
They were not 'ripped off'. Konami holds most of the patents for these games, so they are really the originators of this genre. Both Activision and EA are paying Konami to use these patents. It's no more a ripoff than all the FPS games are ripping off Wolfenstein or Doom. Was there this kind of bitching when Half-life or Duke Nukem came out?
As far as RB blowing out the GH franchise, you do realize GH3 was the best selling game in the past year? And that's not even including the Aerosmith version and all the DLC and merchandising.
