Quote:
One of the worst-kept secrets in the games industry is finally out. After weeks of rumors, Activision has finally confirmed that Guitar Hero: Rocks the 80s is in the works. So far, the game has only been confirmed for the PlayStation 2 and will take the retail stage in the US and Europe sometime this summer.

Seven songs out of the total 30 have so far been announced, but they run the genre gamut. It will feature "as made famous" covers of "Round and Round" by Ratt, "I Want Candy" by Bow Wow Wow, "Metal Health" by Quiet Riot, "Holy Diver" by Ronnie James Dio, and "Heat of the Moment" by Asia. It will also sport two original tracks: Flock of Seagulls' "I Ran" and "I Wanna Rock" by Twisted Sister. The game will also feature retro rock venues, unlockable guitars, and a variety of "intense" gameplay modes.

RedOctane's head of publishing, Dusty Welch, commented, "The 80s features an amazing variety of rock genres from hair metal to punk to new wave, and our dedicated Guitar Hero fans will definitely appreciate the opportunity to play all the new and exciting content we've added."

One thing Welch didn't comment on was the fact that Guitar Hero: Rocks the 80s is being developed by Harmonix. Though it developed the first two guitar heroes, the rhythm-game studio has since been purchased by MTV, and announced in March it is making a Guitar Hero rival called Rock Band with Electronic Arts. Activision-owned Neversoft, maker of the Tony Hawk series, has since taken over Guitar Hero development. It will presumably be making Guitar Hero III, due out later this year for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii.

RedOctane founder and president Kai Huang had previously confirmed to GameSpot that the company would be looking to work on a variety of different genres for upcoming Guitar Hero, and that one of the options would be to offer these packs as extra downloadable content. However, the PS2 edition of Guitar Hero: Rocks the 80s edition will be coming out in the more traditional boxed format.

That means more downloadable content for the Guitar Hero II on the 360. I likes very much. Though I was hoping they'd have picked the 70's instead.

If you have a modded playstation 2 you can just hack it and play whatever song you want. Unfortunately my modded playstation 2 broke =/

I Want Candy?

You have got to be kidding me.

Either way, good news for all Guitar Hero fans. Should be interesting to see.

Still, Flock of Seagulls is <3. One can only hope Corey Hart is on there (hahahaha).

what do you mean?

also I knew the 80's game was coming so it didn't catch me by suprise or anything but I thought it was more of the late teens to mid/late 20 year olds playing guitar heros, I guess the 30-40 age group would have more buying power but I don't see how that's the largest fan base.

"Holy Diver" by Dio AND "Heat of the Moment" by Asia!? Awesome!!

Still, it's not like I'll be buying this game. Hopefully someone I know will be picking it up. The chicks love these games. (seriously :? )

take a look at this video. Some guy hacked his modded playstation 2 and was able to play Fury of the Storm by dragon force. Its complicated and if I can find the source of how to do it again, I can pm it to you if you want, but thats only if I can find it.

I assume that's what it'll be. It was a damn big song in the 80s... did they even have any other singles? >_>

I may just buy this game solely for the chance to play Holy Diver. <3 <3 <3 Holy Diver. New wave songs too eh? This could wind up being a great deal of fun.

The 90's is where it's at, yo.

It's funny that they're adding I wanna Rock because my sister and I agreed that the Sponge Bob version Goofy Goober would so kick ass on GH2.

I'll probably end up buying it.
