Guitar Hero Confirmed To Go Multi-Platform
In his keynote speech at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia XV Conference, CEO and chairman of Activision, Robert Kotick, confirmed suspicions of popular PS2 rhythm game Guitar Hero coming to other consoles as well. According to Kotick, Activision plans to publish a version of the title on “every significant new format” eventually.
Apparently, employees of retail chain GameStation had been informed about a Guitar Hero release on the Xbox 360 earlier this week, so this news was already more or less expected.
Developed by Red Octane, Guitar Hero was released last year for the Playstation 2 and garnered critical acclaim everywhere for it’s clever re-invention of the rhythm game genre, letting players feel like true rock-stars with the guitar-shaped controller. A huge fanbase has already developed around the franchise, and Guitar Hero II will hit PS2’s in November. Hopefully it won’t be long then until we’re indeed rocking out on our Xbox 360s, Wiis and PS3s.
