Today Activision confirmed the rumours of a new Guitar Hero coming out with the announcement of Guitar Hero Live. Instead of the usual cartoony characters and look of the game we'll now be first person in the guitar players shoes in an actual live concert.
What's interesting is that the crowd and band mates will react to your performance even more than what they used to. Be sure to check the trailer down below to see what I mean.
Get ready for some first person tomatoes-in-your-face action!
What FreeStyleGames also decided to overhaul is the Guitar Hero guitar controller. Remember that old thing with the 5 colourful buttons? The orange button you never managed to press with your pinky? Don't worry!
The new guitar controller features 6 buttons spread over 2 rows of three. 1 more button and no more having to move your hand up and down to hit them all. The strum bar, wammy bar and all the other buttons on the lower end stay in the same position like the old controller.
"What we came to was, you already know where your fingers are. You're moving them up and down. The idea of having colors to tell you where you are was kind of unnecessary. It was another bit of information that your brain had to process before you went, ‘OK, is it up or down?' Stripping that out and saying, your brain already knows where your fingers are, you just need to know if it's up or down, it seemed like you were processing the information a lot quicker. It worked really well."

Some already confirmed artists are: The Black Keys, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Gary Clark, Jr., Green Day, Ed Sheeran, The War on Drugs, The Killers, Skrillex, The Rolling Stones, The Lumineers, Pierce the Veil and Blitz Kids.
The game will hit the store for $99,99 for the game with one controller and will release on the Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Wii U and mobile platforms. The mobile versions have a feature that lets you choose whether you want to play it on the devices screen or on television. Neato!
