soniqstylz Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2009/11/09/...hero-trademark/ Activision already has "Guitar Hero," "DJ Hero" and "Band Hero" under its wings, but a filing from the end of October indicates that they want "Drum Hero" as well. Though the claim was still being processed as of November 3rd, it clearly marks the company's territory for the potential title, outlining the types of products such a name might be applied to.Any video games, handheld liquid crystal display games or toys bearing the "Band Hero" name are covered by the trademark Activision has filed for, according to the United State Patent and Trademark Office. Merely claiming such a trademark doesn't guarantee that a "Drum Hero" title is currently in development, of course. No matter what level of infancy the idea be at, trademark filing can mean as little as an attempt to keep a competitor from sniping the name. Of course, with drum peripherals already in homes and readily available, a "Drum Hero" game would make plenty of sense and require less gamer investment that a full "DJ Hero" package in theory. In the meantime, don't be surprised if you see a headline next year about John Bonham, Dave Grohl or Neil Peart licensing their likeness away for a new project.

Draken Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 If people spent as much time learning guitar as they do playing guitar hero and rock band they would be able to actually play the instrument So if people spent as much time on the shooting range as they do playing COD they would be better soldiers? come on it's a game, if I want to be a musician I'll be one. keep them coming, I found them the best of the best for parties or messing up with my friends, actually (my case) a party is not a party with out "Guitar hero time" it's fun, and if you're drunk even more (Y) and yes we often have "jam" parties with some musician friends and real instruments but that's another history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigby Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 It's the latest fad. As long as people keep buying these games they will keep making them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookie Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 but if the games are fun then why not buy them? It's Drum Hero? Correct me if I'm wrong. That's already a component of RB, GH & BH? What are we selling each mode individually now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acnpt Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I'm still waiting for Accordion Hero 2 :( :laugh: Anyway, I don't see a problem with them milking it, as long as they keep making good quality Guitar Hero and Rock Bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soniqstylz Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 I think it they're gonna keep making these, they need to make them a bit more realistic. For instance, DJ Hero should've had a "Supastah" edition that came with a blown-out-of-proportion bio, 10-pack of ecstasy, your own DJ ho, and a "make yourself Keoki" kit complete with massive ego.

perochan Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 nothing new. Guitar + Drum this has been going on since years go in japan and i remember reading somewhere that they claim the idea was theirs (whoever made the music game in the US). TOTAL BS!

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted November 11, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted November 11, 2009 Drum Hero? WTF? Is this one of Koticks great ideas to remove the drums from GH, sell them on their own with a game that only allows you to drum, and price it at $140?

LingeringSoul Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I think they should just go ahead and make "Hero Hero". The entire franchise is quickly becoming a joke, so they may as well take the initiative and have a laugh at their own expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furyshinobi Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I stopped supporting Guitar Hero series for now after a huge flood of Hero games this past couple of months, Guitar Hero Greatest Hits, Guitar Hero Metallica, Band Hero, GH5... its like the video game crash again... :o Though I may get Band Hero just to play Taylor Swift :shiftyninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerLG Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Though I may get Band Hero just to play Taylor Swift :shiftyninja: I wonder if you can make a character run up on stage while Taylor Swift is performing and take the microphone away from her. That may be Activision's next game, Music Award Hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
