Activision announces their plans for the Guitar Hero franchise:

Activision readying compilation of full-band versions of tracks from older Guitar Hero games; third offering on Nintendo's handheld by year's end.

To date, the biggest Guitar Hero game of 2009 has been Guitar Hero: Metallica, the first full-band installment in the series to be based on a single group. However, a subsequent installment in the series may very well contain tracks from Guitar Hero: Aerosmith--the first band-focused GH game--which use more than just a virtual six-stringer.

Speaking with analysts in a conference call today, Activision Publishing CEO and president Mike Griffith announced that the publisher will be releasing "a separate Greatest Hits compilation Guitar Hero game that includes full band versions [of previously released songs]." Though no specific titles were mentioned, the Greatest Hits will likely draw on all prior titles in the Guitar Hero series, which began with the eponymous 2005 original game for the PlayStation 2.

Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits will be released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii before the end of 2009. The year will also see the release of a third Guitar Hero game for the DS, following last year's Guitar Hero: On Tour--the top third-party title for the platform--and its sequel Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades. Activision did not say if the new GH DS game's peripheral would use the GBA slot, which is not present in the forthcoming DSi model.

Greatest Hits and the new Guitar Hero DS game will also be joined by DJ Hero, which will arrive on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii sometime in 2009.


List what songs you want in Greatest Hits and see if it comes true........

I vote for Full Band Through The Fire And The Flames!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure it will be included. It will be "Woah!"

Also, Maybe they will get the real versions of the songs?
Like G&R's Sweet Child o' Mine, Pantera's Cowboys from Hell, Ozzy's Bark At The Moon, Megadeth's Symphony of Destruction, Lamb of God's Laid To Rest (PLEASE GOD!!!!!!!! PUT THIS ONE IN!!!!!!!) and A7X's City of Evil....... That would be sweeeeeeeeeet.

Black, aren't you forgetting Jordan?

and I want Avenged Sevenfold!

can i has Killer Queen - Queen..

same thing right?

Through the Fire and Flames with double bass pedals?
SIGN ME UP!!

Yeah, but that's for all consoles........
I want to talk about 360 specific.

You think our old DLCs COULD work? I mean, if it's the greatest hits one, why not go back and make sure our old DLCs work as well?

Possibly.
While I have no doubt that the Death Magnetic and World Tour DLC should work,GH3 and GH2 may not work as they don't have data for Drums and Vocals.
Although,the guitar tracks should work because as a Guitar Hero hacker,I found that all Guitar Hero games use the same type of files for note tracks(Yes,that means putting Through the Fire and Flames in Guitar Hero 1 is possible)

I mean, if they would be having a "greatest hits", wouldn't it be awesome if they went back and re-did the DLC from Guitar Hero 2 + 3?

Oh OHHH!!!
Of course,of course!!
My Chemical Romance and the Dropkick Murphys?Why not?

Oh.... and throw in Holy Diver from Rocking the 80s....... Probably the only decent song from that game

How can you forget the awesome Limozeen's Because It's Midnite!?
Also,Trogdor?I need to scream that one on vocals.

Also they should have put the theme song for Limozeen:But They're in Space!!,because it's more than plain awesome.

Avenged Sevenfold please.

YAY!!!!

Any idea if Guitar Hero : Greatest Hits will be sold with new band kits or it's just a standalone game (i.e. no new guitars, drums)?

Was thinking of picking up a drum set this weekend, but I'll hold on if there's a new drum kit coming out (which hopefully fixes some of the current issues they're having).

Btw, GHWT's March DLC will have Queen's "Weeeeee r da champions".

Woooooo hoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DRAGONFORCE IS BACK BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really pity the drummers trying this on expert (or maybe expert+ ???).

48 Songs.

that is so much lesser than Rock Band. Aiseh...

Pity?
Boy,I'm going to have more than enough fun with this b****
But of course,double bass pedals get irritating after a while, and TTFAF is a 7 minute long song
But Queen + Twisted Sisters = moar instabuy plx

Maybe they should just include a 6 pack of redbull if they want to play TTFATF on Expert+
