GUATAR HERO 6: Warriors of Rock Pre-Release Discussion

Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock (initially referred to as Guitar Hero 6) is an upcoming rhythm video game and the sixth main entry in the Guitar Hero series. The game is expected to be released September 20, 2010 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii consoles. Due to significant issues with poor sales of rhythm games in 2009, Activision, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock's publisher has since dissolved RedOctane and Neversoft's Guitar Hero division; however, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock represents the last game in the series to be developed by Neversoft prior to the dissolution. Vicarious Visions developed the Wii port of the game which utilizes additional Nintendo DS functionality, though at present there is no stand-alone DS version of the game.

As with previous games in the series, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock will let up to four people play in a band on vocals, lead and bass/rhythm guitar, and drums, to successfully match notes as they scroll down the screen as appropriate for their instrument, in order to perform well and complete each song. Official Xbox Magazine (UK) noted that the only change to the core gameplay appears to be the addition of a sustained open-string bass note that was lacking in Guitar Hero 5.

The major game mode in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is called "Quest Mode", which will be narrated to the players by Gene Simmons. Quest Mode is a career mode where the players attempt to complete songs and challenges to advance the story and game. It is based on a story where the players of the band are attempting to release the "demigod of rock" and his guitar from his imprisonment by "the Beast", gaining strength through bringing new members aboard the band. Gaming journalists have noted thematic similarities between the story details of Warriors of Rock and Brütal Legend, an action video game with a world based on heavy metal, developed by Tim Schafer and Double Fine which Activision, at one point, would have published but later dropped the rights.
In Warriors of Rock, returning characters to the game will have Warrior forms that have additional scoring and gameplay benefits.

Due to ongoing legal issues with the likenesses of musician celebrities in Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock will feature only fictional characters, those previously included in the series. As part of Quest Mode, players unlock these characters by completing specific songs for the characters, which can also unlock alter-egos for each character that have further influence on the game. One example is the character of Lars Umlaut, who can become "Warrior Lars" on completing his challenges, allowing for a maximum 6x scoring multipliers instead of a 4x one. In addition, all venues will be fictional except for the now-defunct CBGB Club in New York City.[4]

"Party Play", where the game will automatically play songs and allow for players to jump in at any time, remains in the game.[5] The game also includes an improved "Quickplay+" mode to play any of the songs in the game or from previous downloadable content directly; the Quickplay+ mode will include some of the features from Guitar Hero 5's Career mode, such as song challenges, that will otherwise not be incorporated into the Quest mode. Each song, both on-disc and from previous downloaded content, will have thirteen different challenges to be completed. Players will have the opportunity to use the unlocked Warrior form of the game's characters within Quickplay+ mode in order to take advantage of their gameplay benefits as necessary to complete some of these challenges.[9] The competitive modes introduced in Guitar Hero 5 will also carry over into Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.[4] The Wii version will improve the "Roadie" game version introduced in Guitar Hero 5. In this mode, up to four additional players with their own Nintendo DS wirelessly connected to the Wii (the "Roadies") can assist the other players using instrument controllers. The Roadies can create setlists from the DS, or engage in gameplay through "spells" that improve the performance of the player they are assigned to. Alternatively, in Roadie Battle mode, the Roadies can attempt to distract another player while at the same time removing the distractions placed on their player by another Roadie.[5]

A new guitar controller is being developed for the game to help with "shredding" and an art style to match the changes made in the game's visuals.[9] The game may include features using camera technology, such as Project Natal, into the future game, according to the development team.[10]
