We said, what was it about Guitar Hero that was so cool in the first place? Why did it become the game it became?" "The way we started it, we took it right to its core, its base. "We always knew, like Tyler said, if we ever brought Guitar Hero back it had to be because we came up with some great innovation and made some big changes," said Jamie Jackson, creative director and studio head at FreeStyleGames. That's also how this new Guitar Hero was first given life. While there is a broad collection of changes coming to the game, perhaps the most noticeable is how the plastic guitar controller has been reinvented. "I believe this truly is the reinvention of Guitar Hero." "It's something we always intended to bring back, when we had that legit innovation that would transform the way you play the game in a fundamental way. "There's so much emotion and passion around the Guitar Hero brand at the company," he said. That's not, Michaud said, because Activision had given up on the franchise.

It's been five years since the last release." "Really, I would argue, it was one of the first titles to transcend our entire category and become this household name." "Guitar Hero created this pop-culture phenomenon," said Tyler Michaud, senior director of product management at Activision. The game has been in development at FreeStyleGames, the studio behind DJ Hero and DJ Hero 2, for about three years. Guitar Hero Live doesn't have a firm release date, just this fall, but it does have a firm price: $99.99 with one guitar. The mobile version of the game can either be played on the device or a television. While the game is coming to PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox 360 and Xbox One, the full experience (including the same guitar) is also coming to tablets and smartphones. Perhaps the biggest shift is that while all modern consoles support Guitar Hero Live, it won't require a console or a television. The trademark plastic guitar has been overhauled, the campaign now takes place in a responsive, first-person-perspective live-action video, and an always-online music video jukebox powers the game's multiplayer.
