Activision Axe Guitar Hero and True Crime series

Thats the thing though, there will also be no future DLC for Guitar Hero at all, the whole thing has been cancelled

no more tony hawks, then again i haven't bought one past project 8.

The music game genre has been milked and needs to be evacuated.

It was mostly due to poor sales that caused the guitar hero and Tony Hawk series to end

Ride/Shred killed Tony Hawk, absolutely great concept - crap at an expensive price that nobody bought. At Christmas when I was a temp, we had at least 15 of them out just trying to get rid of them (none were bought)

Found this video of what the gameplay of True Crime: Hong Kong was going to be like should it of been released

Don't care at all, hate guitar hero, never heard of true crime.

Tony Hawk just needs a reboot (of some sort). Go back to the arcade style of THPS and they're quids in, even if they go XBLA/PSN.

Yeah that would be cool if they did that, the old THPS games were the best

A lot of complaints about how Guitar Hero milked the market, not one person seems to remember they've been doing the exact same thing with a certain first-person shooter for the past 4-5 years.. I think it's about time they killed guitar hero, while I enjoy rhythm games, you only really need one band based one, I just hope the next couple of CoD games are terrible, maybe they'll finally kill that as well, it's getting to be just stupid re-releasing the same game every year with a different number or "tagline".

Shame about True Crime though, I really enjoyed Streets of L.A. I was looking forward to this one as well but ah well, guess we still have GTA5 or whatever spinoff title they want to give it next.

Didn't they cut the franchise, and the DJ Hero title as well?

If so, I have a friend who's gonna be pissed.

Never owned guitar hero, mainly as playing a real guitar is far more satifying.

Gutted about True Crime - was looking forward to the new one - being able to be the police instead of the crook was brilliant.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 - a superb game. Down hill from there tbh.
