Activision Trademarks Guitar Hero Modern Hits
by Chris Faylor, Oct 16, 2008 1:58pm PDTFollowing Activision's plans to triple the amount of yearly Guitar Hero releases by 2012, the publisher has filed a trademark for the phrase "Guitar Hero Modern Hits."
Few details are known, though the phrasing seems to imply that the game will feature contemporary artists. The details of the application confirms that the phrase applies to "computer game software and related instruction manual sold together" and a "video game comprised of a cartridge or DVD sold as a unit with a video game controller."
In addition to the October 26 release of Neversoft's multi-instrument music game sequel Guitar Hero World Tour (PS2, PS3, 360, Wii), the company is also planning to release Vicarious Visions' second DS Guitar Hero, dubbed Decades, on November 16.
"You mention milking the franchise--I don't think we're doing that," Vicarious Visions producer David Nathanielsz told Shacknews when asked about the short span between the release of Guitar Hero: On Tour DS and the announcement of the sequel. "People are asking for songs, and that's what we're giving them."
This year also saw the debut of the first band-centric Guitar Hero game, Guitar Hero Aerosmith (PC, PS2, PS3, 360, Wii), with upcoming releases believed to include Guitar Hero: Metallica and Guitar Hero: Jimi Hendrix.

For the DS, I'll let that slide. There's no easy way for the general public to get new tracks.
For the 3 major consoles, that's a bit of a different story. I don't know about you other Shack'ers, but I don't remember asking for more games like GH:Aerosmith/Metallica/Jimmy. No offense to those fans of course, but we want more TRACKS not more games.
Just take a year off, collect a TON of tracks, give us GH5 with 200+ tracks (even if you have to go multi-disk) and then just keep the downloads coming. Selling us tracks individually would probably make them more money anyway. I'm not going to buy any of the three band-centric games, but I would pick up a track of two here or there. That's a couple bucks from me they wouldn't get otherwise.
