| flagstaad said: I think is a very bad excuse, who is publishing, is it EA again, that may put things in perspective. I am confident that the new Guitar Hero will come to the console, Activision has not abandoned the console yet, even if it has reduced the support. |
no.
"When it hits store shelves later this year, Rock Band 4 will do so without the aid of a major publisher. The game will be co-published with MadCatz, however, who is once again lending a hand with hardware and distribution. Harmonix is free from their Viacom VIAB -0.68% overlords, and as such the burden of success is placed solely on their shoulders."
harmonix is basically in indie developer right now and rockband 4 is a massive gamble for them. the franchise was killed originally by the inventory management of the expensive plastic instruments and it will kill them again if they overship by even a little. a lack of wiiU isn't anything personal,.. it's just a risk that harmonix isn't willing to take with their very minimal resources. honestly i'm surprised they are even willing to gamble on ps4 and xbox one in the way they are. i expected a downloadable title only.
