While gamers wait for the release of the serenading title Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, rumors about Guitar Hero IV—a title in the distant future—have begun to surface. The first GT IV rumor comes through the ever credible Billboard.com and, if true, it might change the game series for once and all.

Perry, Aerosmith’s lead guitarist told the music website that the band is working closely with the makers of Guitar Hero IV, and that the title would be dedicated to the band’s music.

There hasn’t been any official word about GT IV from Red Octane—the publisher of the game—and it seems unlikely with GT III: Legends of Rock still a few months away from its release.

If Perry is taken at word, then GT IV would be disappointingly unlike previous games in the Guitar Hero series, which have provided a wide gamut of music from bands galore. A tribute to Aerosmith is a mouthwatering prospect but, not if it comes at the expense of the USP of the series—the wide array of tracks from various bands.

It is likely that Perry was referring to a side game and not the full-fledged GT IV. Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80’s was one such side game. Perhaps, he is a gaming novice who doesn’t know that in the world of video games, the game which comes after the 3rd title of a game series isn’t necessarily the 4th game in the series.

Let us wait for an official word from Red Octane. Besides, GT IV can wait as GT III has enough in store to keep gamers entertained.
