| Guitar Hero Looks for a New Gig
RedOctane says the chances are better than good that it will swap the guitar for something else. And there's next-gen talk too. Guitar Hero seemingly came out of nowhere to capture the gaming consciousness. The sequel, coming later this year, has fans of the series salivating already, and publisher RedOctane says that the chances are good that at some point you'll be able to pick up other instruments too.
"The next logical step within this category is to make other music instrument-based games," RedOctane co-founder Kai Huang told Next Generation recently. "What most people have been asking for and would want next are products that we're likely already working on." But that doesn't mean that the publisher and Harmonix, the team behind the game, are done with the core of the series.
Konami ready to rock? ( News )
Konami has registered the trademark "Guitar Revolution" with the US Patent & Trademark Office - although it refuses to be drawn on why. Filed on June 29th, the trademark relates to game software, but also peripherals that sound a lot like the ones used by critical darling Guitar Hero, along with arcade machines and so on. Obviously "Guitar Revolution" fits in rather snugly with Konami's other musical titles - Dance Dance Revolution (known as Dancing Stage in Europe) and Karaoke Revolution. .
