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

Guitar Hero changed, but they changed what didn't need changing. In fact, nothing needed change at all - the only reason why this genre ever fell "stale" was because of oversaturation, no more.

Honestly, every time I've seen anything Guitar Hero Live related I always thought it looked like a really bad game. Rock Band 4 looks really good, but then again they're not releasing it on my system... *sigh*

 

I'd agree it didn't necessarily need change to be good, but I think these games do need change to really sell.

Do you think it looks bad because of the live action cutscenes?

It turned me off at first - but honestly graphics tend to matter very little in rhythm games like this.

Track list on Guitar Hero Live is shaping up to be really solid. Hands on impressions of the new controller are pretty favorable.

To a large number of people these games are like Wii Sports. Fun to invest in the HW once to play, but unless there's something significantly new on the table it's not worth buying into.
