Activision CEP Bobby Kotick has said at one time, he had ideas for a new entry in the Guitar Hero franchise.
Acivision CEO Bobby Kotick has always had a soft spot for the Guitar Hero games and recently told VentureBeat he had ideas for a new entry in the franchise. In the interview, Kotick tells VentureBeat that he had a “really cool vision” for the next Guitar Hero game, but unfortunately, Activision didn’t have “the resouces” to do it. “Phil [Spencer] and I started riffing on things for the future,” said Kotick. “I wanted to make a new Guitar Hero for a while, but I don’t want to add teams to do manufacturing and supply chain and QA for manufacturing. And the chip shortages are enormous. We didn’t really have the ability to do that. “I had a really cool vision for what the next Guitar Hero would be, and realized we don’t have the resources to do that.” First released in 2005, Guitar Hero was a very popular series of music rhythm games where folks used a guitar-shaped game controller to channel their inner rockstar.
