I've been a Wii player since this Christmas (on Guitar Hero), and I have to agree slightly with this statement. On GH3, VV made the Wii version to the best of its ability; they tried to make it just like the 360/PS3 versions. And, besides lack of DLC, it pretty much was.
GH:WT is different. The graphics in the background were blocky, and didn't look as good as GH3. The load times took longer than they should've; eerytime you start a song, it takes 15-30 seconds to load. This includes restarts and playing in Practice mode (which takes away a little bit of what Practice mode is).
I do not own Metallica, so I won't say anything on that, but Smash Hits was worse. Load times were longer, and graphics were worse. There was also a frame-rate problem, which sometimes made it unplayable. I'm deciding whether to re-buy GH:SH for PS3.
However, things took a turn for the better with GH5 and VH. GH5 graphics were spectacular (for Wii, at least), and the load times were just like GH3; 3 seconds at most. THe combatibility with RB drums on Wii and the way they did the note chart made this game a must buy for Wii owners.
VH had GH5-like graphics (a.k.a. better), and the load times were as fast as GH5/GH3. Only problem I had was that the RB Drums weren't compatible, and that pissed me off a bit. But, it's still a great buy for Wii.
Overall, if they stick with their work on GH3/5/VH, then they'd be great. I sincerely hope they do a great job with GH on all systems.
If it hasn't been said enough, hearts out to Neversoft. You guys made GH what it is today, and that's a good thing.

Don't forget about that massive flaw that made the load times keep getting longer until the game eventually always froze; only being fixed by deleting your data and starting over...
But that's behind us. After playing GH5, I'm convinced that VV could make really good GH games. Restarting a song is near-instantaneous, which is great.

Tell that to Activision, not Neversoft.

If VV is indeed going to be the company Developing GH7 than I really hope they don't adopt their charting philosophy from Band Hero DS :@
I really hope it's just a rumour

Care to elaborate on this? It must be hard to do a bad job on 4 buttons!
Hopefully there will be some elements of NS that get to work with VV which will make for a smooth change over and save some jobs! |

One thing I don't get about Activision laying off Neversoft workers is that Neversoft Make one of the most popular Game series today (GH) and make it on a regular basis
And while this is going on there is no news of Treyarch losing jobs despite the fact they IMO made the 2 worst games in the CoD series (3 and WaW) and are only making games at a rate of 1 every 2 years. (I'm not saying they deserve to be laid off but still.....)
Plz tell me how that makes sense, also I can't say it enough, Neversoft is awesome and anyone who was laid off will easily find new jobs.
And it would be really cool if they could make their own Rhythm game series and surpass GH in all of its awesomeness, made in the way that THEY wan't to do it.
May the win be with you all.

I never said they were "bad" persay I just said I don't find it fun or enjoyable to play. I do think Shockwave is the worst out of all of them though.
They (VV) kick ass at porting games (GH5/BH Wii are highly rated) and they have some talented musicians working for them though- so I am not overly worried about the future of GH if it's in their hands. I'd just prefer if it was Neversoft, I mean I've followed them since THPS

I'm not confirming anything one way or the other when it comes to the future of Neversoft, Guitar Hero, or ATVI. But I would like to ask that people would please stop saying negative things about VV. They are a respectable company who do a great job on the games that are made and put just as much passion as anyone into their games when they develop them.

Sorry, but the Wii ports are subpar at best. |

I STRONGLY disagree. I play almost exclusively on the Wii, and I find the ports to be quite enjoyable, and outside of maybe WT, all are perfectly up to par.

That's not VV's fault, that's the consoles fault.
Porting a game on a console as powerful as a PS3 or a 360 to a console as weak as a Wii is a hard job, and they do good what with Nintendo gives them.

I'm crossing my fingers for some Ironic Justice with GH6. As in, it it the best thing ever and that it sells EXTREMELY well, making Kotick say "oh shi-, what did I do?"
