Similar to the preceding title, Guitar Hero World Tour, Guitar Hero 5 is geared towards playing in a four-person band experience, including lead and bass guitar, drums, and vocals. New features have been added to the game from World Tour.

Gameplay

Gameplay in Guitar Hero 5 will be similar to that from World Tour. However, this version of the game will allow up to four players to any combination of instruments, meaning the game will allow multiples of the same type.[3] Star Power is no longer shared by the band, and instead tracked for each player in a similar manner as Rock Band.[4] A new play mechanic called "Band Moments" will require all members of the band to play sections of a song successfully to gain rewards, both in scoring and visual effects on screen.[5][6] The Band Revival meter will appear when a player fails out of the song, requiring the other band members to play well as a group together in order to bring the failed player back into the game.[6] The Career mode for the game will incorporate any World Tour DLC that the player may have.[7] Bonus challenges in the game, such as scoring a number of points while in Star Power, will reward the player with unlockable content when they are completed.[7]

Two new features have been announced for the game. The first is a "Party Play" mode, which allows players to jump into a band or drop out even in the middle of a song, and switch instruments or difficulty levels while playing. The second feature is a "RockFest" mode, which can be played by four players locally or eight online, with several sub-modes that influence how the game is played. For example, in the "Momentum" mode, the game adjusts the difficulty of the note track based on how well the player is playing, with more points rewarded by staying at the "Expert" difficulty. Other sub-modes of RockFest include "Elimination" in which the worst player is dropped periodically, "Perfectionist" where only certain sections of a song count towards points, "Do-or-Die" which forces a player to wait a brief time if they miss a note, and "Streakers" that rewards the player for long strings of consecutive notes.[6][8]

The Music Studio feature, which allows players to create their own songs and distribute them through the "GHTunes" music service will also be improved.[5]

Johnny Cash has been confirmed as a playable character. Johnny Cash tribute artist Terry Lee Goffee has provided motion capture for his character.[9]

Development

Four player gameplay where all four are playing the same instrument on three different difficulties.

The fifth main entry to the Guitar Hero series was announced in December 2008,[10] with confirmation of its release by the end of 2009 coming in May 2009, along with the announcement of other new Guitar Hero titles.[11]

The Party Play mode was inspired by recognizing that past Guitar Hero games made it difficult to jump into without maneuvering through a number of menus and selection screens. The mode was designed to be used at social gatherings, and was adopted to use whatever instrument controllers that players already had available, thus allowing for various other combinations beyond the standard four-person band. This aspect of the game was then brought to the other band modes to allow the game to remain flexible.[6]

Though Activision has made no mention of new instruments, industry rumors have shown images of a possible Guitar Hero 5 drum kit redesign, still featuring five drum pads but appearing closer to the Rock Band drum kit, with round cymbals and means of fixing the bass drum kick pedal.[12]

As part of the game's early promotion, a scavenger hunt contest was announced in the last week of May 2009. Players would need to search for articles on specific game-related sites to find information on the bands that are to be in Guitar Hero 5, and then enter those bands at the game's official website for a chance to win a series of concert tickets in their area. Through this promotion, a large number of artists in the final track list were revealed.[13]

Soundtrack

Songs from 85 musicians will be on the game disc. Tracks from 30 artists will represent their "music-rhythm video game debut".[3] Brian Bright, project director for the game, has called the track list "fresh", with 25% of the songs released in the last 18 months, and more than 50% from the current decade.[8] Unlike previous versions of the Guitar Hero series, where players must work through a career mode to unlock all the songs in the game, all songs in Guitar Hero 5 will be unlocked and available to play in any mode from the start,[14] similar to Guitar Hero: Metallica. In addition, existing downloadable content for Guitar Hero World Tour will be forward-compatible with Guitar Hero 5; the existing content will be automatically upgraded to include all features new to Guitar Hero 5,[3] but this does not apply to a limited number of songs.[1] The songs that will not be transferable will be due to licensing issues, as Director Brian Bright has stated that there are no technical limits for what songs could be transferred.[15]

Bright noted that previously, while "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie was always a song they wanted in Guitar Hero, they could not find the masters for it.[16] However, for Guitar Hero 5, the masters have since "magically appeared" and will be part of the game's tracklist.[15] "I Walk the Line" by Johnny Cash is possibly going to be in the game as Terry Lee Goffee has done motion capture for the song.[9]
