Guitar Hero 4 Already in Testing?

G4TV has heard from a source that Activision is already conducting the first tests of Guitar Hero IV, starting today with a small-scale test (4-6 people).

Based on recent comments, it appears we will be getting a Guitar Hero every year, along with annual Call of Duty and Tony Hawk installments.

    i am a big fan of Guitar Hero1,2,3,rock the 80’s. these games are the best i played ever

    I think they should do another expantion pack like one first, like the 80’s game. But, it should be Xmas songs. And you could have, ‘I wish it could be Xmas everyday’ by Wizard and ‘Merry Xmas everybody’ by Slade. And unlockable characters could be Frosy the Snowman, Rudolph and of course Santa, whose axe could be shaped like a Christmas Tree. How cool would that be!!!!!!!!!!

    They better bring Megadeth back next game. I missed ‘em this one.

    Apparently Aerosmith have a massive involvementin GH4, and the game is supposedley dedicated to them. I think that this garuntees;
    a) At least 2 Aerosmith songs and in the game(Dude looks
    a Lady and Walk this Way I hope).
    b) The Aerosmith guitarist to be a boss battle.
    c) Steven Tyler as a singer in the game like Brett Michaels
    was.
    Any speculation that GH4 is going to be an Aerosmith greatest hits is just downright silly.

    It is going to be a huge sucess just like 1,2 and 3. I will be really suprised if they don’t make the 4th.

  10. 10 K.Bryant Dec 23rd, 2007 at 3:51 am

  11. 11 mike Dec 27th, 2007 at 1:54 pm

  12. 12 andrew Dec 28th, 2007 at 3:04 am

  13. 13 mikeyj677 Dec 29th, 2007 at 6:35 am

    I was really angry to see that they didn’t have any Avenged Sevenfold on GH3. Bring them back!!

  14. 14 AJW Dec 31st, 2007 at 2:35 am

    They should add Linkin Park They are my favorite band

  15. 15 Mark Warner Dec 31st, 2007 at 2:38 am

    They should add Linkin Park songs like Numb and A Place for my head and mabye One Step Closer

  16. 16 Brand Dec 31st, 2007 at 7:55 pm

    STeve Vai or Yngvei Malmsteen would be a great add to the many artsit that have appeared on th GH games

  17. 17 Gamecock Jan 1st, 2008 at 8:00 am

    Yeah I wish they would do a lot of Hendrix, Led Zep, Skynyrd, CCR, and all that good stuff. But I know for a fact that Led Zeppelin doesn’t even allowed their stuff to be used. Stuff from other legends is soo expensive to get the rights that they can only get a few classics. This is why there is so much modern era crap because it is cheap and the artists will do anything to get there name out there.

  18. 18 jwwe619 Jan 1st, 2008 at 8:04 am

    they should make gh4 but make it hard ang put more guns n roses and more tenacious d and have jack black as a person u can be and keep slash i guess dats it.

  19. 19 jwwe619 Jan 1st, 2008 at 8:07 am

    o yea make a new guitar for gh4

  20. 20 stue Jan 2nd, 2008 at 5:44 am

    They need to have some more Rise Against, they have some really great songs. No more of that scremo shiz like in GH3, there was way to much of that in there poluting the game. And maybe if there where not so many perverts out there, give the people some more cloths, we would rather play the notes then trying to pinpoint the exact location of her nipples under her bra. sheesh.

  21. 21 rsw Jan 3rd, 2008 at 3:41 am

    i’d like to see a rockin the 90’s, if not then more classic stuff, maybe some chuck berry, a new guitar as well, great game, can’t keep away from it

  22. 22 MarCo Jan 3rd, 2008 at 4:15 am

    gh4, right on, cant wait, get some songs from the 60s and 70s

  23. 23 matt Jan 3rd, 2008 at 11:20 am

    GH4 would be a great hit but some people would just think that they would be dragging it out. i personally didn’t like some of the songs in GH3 like slow ride and hit me with your best shot they just annoyed me. great additions would be linkin park, disturbed, three days grace, rise against, rise against the machine, some more dragonforce would be great, and definetly stonesour. that would be sweet

  24. 24 Brad Jan 3rd, 2008 at 3:11 pm

    maybe some marilyn manson or deftones would be nice.

  25. 25 random-liquo Jan 4th, 2008 at 1:39 pm

    I just wana see more bon jovi nd a bit of Queen neva hurt anyone.roll on GH4

  26. 26 Bevon Jan 7th, 2008 at 3:12 pm

    How About Ac Dc

  27. 27 MommaK Jan 7th, 2008 at 9:55 pm

    I love GH3. I would like to see some Linkin Park or some Skynrd. Im not really into to Bret Michaels. Lets have some Queen to. Bohemian Rhapsody BABY!!!!

  28. 28 Cookie Jan 8th, 2008 at 10:11 pm

    idk maby some System of A Down would be nice, like b.y.o.b. would be a good song

  29. 29 mat Jan 12th, 2008 at 2:59 am

    deep purple(highway star, burn, woman of tokyo)
    more dragonforce
    jimi(all along the watchtower, voodoo chile)
    Stevie ray vaughn(life by the drop)
    bon jovi(dead or alive)
    quiet riot(come on feel the noise)
    some tenaciuos d, shadows fall, and has anyone heard of jukebox hero by foreigner. also the bosses could be zakk wylde, herman li, and stevie ray vaughn. more songs=stairway to heaven, crazy train, maybe more stones.

  30. 30 2for1 Jan 18th, 2008 at 3:02 pm

    Let’s get some pantera on GH4, I mean c’mon, Dimebag was amazing.

  31. 31 asdfgh Jan 27th, 2008 at 9:55 pm

    they better step it up for gh4. cause the real creators of gh (harmonix) have some good shit on rock band (ie, bon jovi-dead or alive).

    and it would be nice to play a song that wasn’t half hammer ons. (f.c.p.r.e.m.i.x. :) )

  32. 32 Patrick Feb 6th, 2008 at 2:50 pm

    I would like to see some OAR on guitar hero 4. Like crazy game of poker! that would be awesome. Also some more songs from guns and roses, lynard skynard, acdc, and kiss

  33. 33 Patrick Feb 6th, 2008 at 2:56 pm

    also boston by augustana

  34. 34 random-liquo Feb 8th, 2008 at 1:41 pm

    parisian walkways-Gary Moore sex in music form

    go greenday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  36. 36 elmo Feb 8th, 2008 at 10:35 pm

    we need better songs on gh4 like heavy metal robzombie-superbeast or like the goo goo dolls better songs not that the song weren’t good before but they could be better

  37. 37 andrew Feb 12th, 2008 at 12:50 am

    they need gun n roses ,led zeppelin ACDC and beeter bonus songs

  38. 38 coach Feb 15th, 2008 at 11:24 pm

    how about rereleasing guitar hero 1, 2 and 80’s for the ps3. that would be nice since you cannot play the ps2 versions with a ps3 guitar, and if you have a wired ps2 guitar in the ps3 the delay sucks. but yes can’t wait for the forth one

  39. 39 Jack Feb 21st, 2008 at 7:15 pm

    Yeah gh4 needs more heavy metal, and more of scorpions and Judas Priest, bonus songs like pretty woman (van halen) and wild side (motley crue)or girls girls girls (motley crue)

  40. 40 Davis Mar 7th, 2008 at 9:03 pm

    I would really like to see a Bon Jovi verson of GH. I am a big fan of all the GH games and look forward to all future GH games including the new Aerosmith verson

  41. 41 tam10777 Mar 18th, 2008 at 9:13 pm

    i have a question.how did afi get on guitar hero????
    and i think that with how many bonus songs that r on the game,maby they can throw in some more popular bands like breaking benjamin,three days grace,linken park,and maby even cold by crossfade.

  42. 42 Jonathon Apr 16th, 2008 at 5:50 pm

    they need more songs with crazy solos, not like cult of personality cause thats so fast you cant even see some of it but some songs from disturbed would be awesome like “Guarded” “Just Stop” and “Overburdened” (three favorite songs :D) but just anything by disturbed thats harder than “Stricken” cause when i found out that disturbed was gonna be on GH3 i was really excited but when it was stricken I was dissapointed cause it was definitely not their best song. CANT WAIT FOR GH4!!!

  43. 43 Jonathon Apr 16th, 2008 at 5:53 pm

    I WANNA SEE HOW GOOD PEOPLE ARE SO IF YOU WANT TO CHALLENGE ME AND YOU HAVE A PS3 SEND A MESSAGE TO guitar_hero_88
