Guitar Hero 5 Dated, Out in September

[War]

Seems like the last Guitar Hero game came out not too long ago... but I guess they sell really well.

Activision have unveiled a new website for Guitar Hero 5, in the process confirming not only that the game is returning to a numbered title, but that it has a ballsy new release date.

And that date is September 1. Cocky! You may have heard, a certain other music title is due out in early September. One that features the Beatles.

Something tells me that the market isn't big enough for both those games. Retail shelves probably aren't, either. We've got ourselves a plastic instrument showdown here, folks, and my money's on the one starring the most popular band of all time.

Those that are still planning on picking up the fifth title in the series, know that the lineup of confirmed artists appearing in the game now includes:

Spoiler

The Rolling Stones
The White Stripes
Kings of Leon
Tom Petty
Bob Dylan
Johnny Cash
Santana
Vampire Weekend
Beastie Boys
Coldplay
Duran Duran
Gorillaz
Jimmy Eat World
Muse
The Raconteurs

When does activision come with some kind of Guitar Hero KoRn or Slipknot, I think those will sell much better.

If I can 'obtain' it and use my GH3 guitar to play it, I'm not complaining.

No Ozzy and BLS confirmed yet huh......

Not buying/downloading unless there are at least a few pieces from bon jovi/Ozzy/ BLS/ Rise Against/ Linkin Park.... I think the franchise isn't changing much.... Its dead.

Prefer Rock Band to GH.. Thought GH:Wt's tracklist sucked compared to RB2. Im not a fan of the Beatles, but I'd place my money on it being a better game.

Rock Band/Guitar Hero Iron Maiden will be the next thing, whenever that happens
