At this point, I think it’s obvious that Activision has no real intentions of supportingGuitar Hero IIIwith significant downloadable content. The next obvious step isGuitar Hero IV, whichaccording to rumor(and a drunk, naked Captain Obvious), is already in the works.
While we’ve heard rumors of an Aerosmith-flavoredGuitar Hero, check out this new bit of rumor, snagged from this “Quartermann” section of this month’sElectronic Gaming Monthly:
We already knowGH 4is on its way (as well as a game based on the band Aerosmith), but I’m hearing two moreGuitar Herotitles are also in the works, bringingGH3‘s sequel count to four. And one may star a group that rocks in mysterious ways.
This seems to be an obvious reference to Irish mega-group U2, who have sold a few albums since the early-80s. With Slash appearing inGuitar Hero IIIand most of its marketing, one could guess (and hope, actually) that this fourth sequel to a sequel will beGuns N’ Roses-related. Or Slash’s Snakepit.Or Earth, Wind, & Fire.
