As if we didn't know it already, Van Halen is dubbed the next addition of Activisions' Guitar Hero video game.
Activision Blizzard is releasing three new music-based games this
year: "DJ Hero," "Guitar Hero 5" and "Band Hero," and also
confirmed the existence of "Guitar Hero: Van Halen."
Few details were provided for any of the games. "DJ Hero," which
was previously confirmed, still doesn't have a full set list in
place, but the company has released new details about the
controller. It will be a single turntable device with three colored
buttons similar to the five fret-buttons featured on "Guitar
Hero."
Band Hero is positioned as a more family-oriented version of
"Guitar Hero," focusing on top 40 hits. "Guitar Hero 5" is expected
to be similar to all previous installments, but with the ability to
"drop in and out of songs and change band members, instruments and
difficulty levels on the fly."
The company confirmed the development of "Guitar Hero: Van Halen"
to videogame blog Joystiq. It is scheduled for release in the
second half of the year. No specific tracks were listed, but
Activision said it will include music from guest bands like Queen,
Weezer, blink-182, The Offspring, Queens of the Stone Age and
others.
It's also not clear which band members will appear as avatars
within the game.
