Guitar Hero to get 'Reality Show'?

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6209400.html?...adlines;title;2

Shortly before parent company Activision Blizzard reported that the Guitar Hero series has generated $2 billion in sales--a feat matched only by the Madden and Super Mario Bros. franchises--CEO Bobby Kotick spoke with the The Hollywood Reporter. Though he declined to comment on Legendary Pictures' in-limbo World of Warcraft movie, he did say that that the rhythm-game series "might make for a good TV show or a good concert tour."

Though a throwaway comment on its own, Kotick's statement was backed up by an unnamed source who told the Reporter that discussions to turn Guitar Hero into a reality show are underway. Adding to the Activision cross-media synergy stew, the trade reported that the same source said that another marquee Activision series, Call of Duty, is "being talked about for the big screen."

Retarded idea obviously, as watching someone you don't know play a game badly is an infuriating experience.

Call of Duty, is "being talked about for the big screen."

So they're going to make a WWII movie based on a game based on WWII movies?

I eagerly await the game of the movie of the game of the movies.

Then they'll make "Call of Duty: The Official Videogame of the Movie". A game based on a movie based on a game based on a movie.

Yo dawg...

Edit: Great minds.

"We gunna put Call of Duty in your Call of Duty, so you can Call of Duty when you Call of Duty...on the big screen!"

They should do a Rock Band/GH:World Tour show and actually have people touring the world playing a video game to screaming/heckling fans.

Remember The Super Mario Bros Super Show, or the Zelda cartoon? And Super Mario Bros, The Movie? Or even The Wizard, a movie based entirely around kids playing SMB3?

Let's not pretend that Activision are in any way special here.

Indeed, I believe that Activision are now reaching heights of milkage that puts them on a par with Nintendo. The difference is that the cartoons made more sense, this idea is just very stupid.
