History VideoGame / GuitarHeroLive

** The International W

On April 14, 2015, Activision unveiled a reboot of the franchise, ''Guitar Hero Live'', which will duel with the upcoming ''VideoGame/RockBand4'' in late 2015. Developed by ''DJ Hero'' studio [=FreeStyleGames=], the game will utilize a new six-button guitar (not six in a row, however; six in two rows of three.), and replace the classic 3D rendered stages with a first-person perspective of the guitarist using FullMotionVideo. The game also features compatibility with microphones and karaoke, being announced on August 3, 2015 in preparation for GamesCom.

* HesBack: After the low sales of ''Warriors of Rock'' in 2010, ''Live'' intends to bring Guitar Hero back with a bang, and how do Activision and [=FreeStyle=] Games catch peoples eyes during the global reveal, they have [[Music/FallOutBoy Pete Wentz]] and [[Music/MyChemicalRomance Gerard Way]] play the game with their signature songs on it, "My Songs Know What You Did In the Dark", and "Na Na Na", the former being a showing of the "live" career mode, the latter being a Guitar Battle between Gerard and Jamie Jackson. Gerard beats Jamie by a slim margin.

* MultiPlatform: Unlike its competition ''Rock Band 4'', which will be primarily for the Xbox One and PS4, ''Guitar Hero Live'' will be available for Xbox 360, [=PS3=], Xbox One, [=PS4=], Wii U, iOS, and Apple TV.

* CurseCutShort: Subverted and played straight. It the only entry in the whole ''Guitar Hero'' series that has the word "shit" mapped in the vocal charts (Not counting the "you stir me into shit" line from the Music/MarilynManson song "Get Your Gunn" featured as DLC in ''Warriors of Rock''), and allows the singer to sing lines referencing drugs and sex. Played straight after gameplay footage featured on GameTrailers shows that the lyric "the thought of you is so fucking fun" from "King for a Day" by Pierce The Veil has "fucking" censored.

* FakeOutFadeOut: Played with, as if there is a long break in a song without guitar input ("My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark" is an example), the highway fades away until the next set of notes come up.

** Fittingly, one of the on-disc songs will be "Been Away Too Long" by Music/{{Soundgarden}}.

* AudienceParticipationSong: More pronounced in this game, when the audience will sing along with the chorus if you are playing good enough
