Guitar Hero Live's GHTV To Feature 'Hundreds' Of Songs At Launch

Activision's senior director of product management Tyler Michaud recently spoke with us about GHTV, the playable music video network that is set to be continually updated throughout the game's life. When asked how many songs would be made available on the game, Michaud wouldn't go into specifics, but he did give us a ballpark of what to expect in terms of the number of songs available when players play the game for the first time this fall.

"At a minimum, there will be hundreds at launch on day one in GHTV alone," he says.

Guitar Hero Live is coming this fall on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and select mobile devices. The game, which is being developed by DJ Hero devs FreeStyleGames, features a reworked guitar peripheral as well as an approach that includes a live-action backdrop behind the note highway. To learn more about this upcoming rebirth of the Guitar Hero franchise, head over to our coverage of the announcement.

Our Take
Content is always king when it comes to the rhythm game genre, and ensuring that many songs are available right at launch is big on Activision's part. I hope this kind of strong support continues throughout the entire span of Guitar Hero Live's shelf life.
