Neversoft’s Brian Bright geeft toe dat de Guitar Hero franchise na het derde deel haar charme begon te verliezen, iets wat een groot aantal fans en andere gamers al wat langer doorhadden.
Bright gaf het eerlijk toe in een interview over Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock met ONM, toen hem gevraagd werd of hij het er mee eens was dat Guitar Hero haar ‘identiteit’ verloren was.
“Yeah, I do. I think the first 3 had a very strong idea of rock n roll with very strong, very focused set lists and I think Metallica could fit in that bunch as well. World Tour we went to a full band and with Guitar Hero 5 we were trying to please everyone out there and I think in the end you end up not pleasing any one person a lot.Als het aan Bright ligt hebben we dus met Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock weer een volledig rock-gerichte Guitar Hero game in handen.We wanted to make this game with a set list for people who liked Guitar Hero 3 and the challenge that it had. We don’t have pop songs on there – it’s mainly a rock n roll influenced game.
A few articles said Guitar Hero 5 was a bit soulless. We wanted to put more into this game and give it its life back.”
