What are your expectations of Guitar Hero Live? Rock Band 4?

We haven't really talked much about these games on this site.

Rock Band of course is just more Rock Band - but only on PS4 / Xbox One and has a more expensive band kit than Guitar Hero Live - but Rock Band 4 evidently is also backwards compatible and lets you carry-over some DLC. Also has drum sets (sidebar: I always thought the drum kit was over-rated)

Guitar Hero Live looks to be almost an entirely new animal. Different controller. Live action cutscenes instead of 3D rendered characters and environment. Releases on last-gen and WiiU (and evidently mobile somehow too?). Seems to have a larger amount of content at the ready too.

To me Rock Band 4 looks suspiciously too much like the Rock Band I already played - whereas Guitar Hero Live strikes me as a really new experience - one that doesn't just reintroduce the genre, but reinvigorates it.

I predict Guitar Hero LIve will score better, and sell better than Rock Band 4.

What are your thoughts?



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
