In an interview with Swedish news site DN.se, Queen lead guitarist Brian May let it be widely known that a Guitar Hero: Queen type of game is in the works and will apparently hit at some point in 2011. According to MTV Multiplayer, the Swedish writer who nabbed the response seemed to already know that this game was happening, so the question was rather pointed, but May didn't deny it was fact.
Brian May being Brian May
Kotaku readers with Swedish translation skills gave the publication a different take on the interview, believing that May was the one who said the game was coming in 2011 and will apparently feature a way for us to experience a Queen concert firsthand.
The guys in Queen don't have a stick up their butts about music games, making this sort of rumor much more believable. The band had its own SingStar title last year and several of its songs, including "We Are The Champions," "Killer Queen," "Under Pressure," and "Stone Cold Crazy," have already been featured across previous Guitar Hero titles. Of course, this is a translated interview, so keep that in mind before you bother with calling your mom about this story.
Yeah baby.
Fuck yeah baby
Damn, I may need to purchase another Guitar Hero game. Haven't done that since 3.
Fucking A!
Yeah, exactly. RB3 is making old music games obsolete. Harmonix needs to make this to do it justice, especially with vocal harmonies and keys implemented.
Sadly, that's not going to be the way it goes. This'll end up screwed up like GH: Van Halen.
