hmmm....activision lawsuit much?

Postby scorcher9910 » Sat Aug 01, 2009 7:48 pm

Ok, so here: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6164293.ht ... -content;1

It says that RedOctane trademarked the name "Band Hero".

And here: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6209282.html

It says Activision is creating a game called "Band Hero".

I smell a lawsuit.

In May 2006, video game publisher Activision announced plans to acquire RedOctane, completing the deal on June 6, 2006. Activision reportedly paid RedOctane $99.9 million in cash and common stock in the acquisition.

Oh....AW MAN. I wanted them to get sued so they couldn't release some stupid kid version of guitar hero! And DJ Hero looks like such a disgrace to guitar hero.

The GH franchise is only making DJ Hero because they want to be the best out of all the Music Genre type games.

They are making DJ Hero because a game called Scratch the Ultimate DJ is coming out.

Here's a look at it:

Just scroll down a bit to see the demo.

I would get it if it had music worth my time. It seems like the music on it is crap.
