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.
