Band Hero

Now, of course, when Crispin Glover saw the movie and realized they had used his likeness, both in prosthetics and during the 1955 scenes, he filed an infamous lawsuit in 1990.

The lawsuit that Glover filed against Universal Pictures for violating his right of publicity predated other famous cases, including Vanna White's lawsuit over a Wheel of Fortune robot hostess in a blonde wig, and Gwen Stefani's legal action over a digital avatar in the Band Hero video game.

Now, Glover's case never got far enough in the court to set legal precedent, but it's often invoked when the likeness of actors become indisposed and filmmakers contemplate ways to resurrect performances from actors and celebrities that have since passed.

The advance of technologies like holograms, with the potential of reviving dead stars and allowing living ones to be in multiple places, tends to invite discussion of ethics and legality.

When Guitar Hero 5 came out, they never patched it.

They fixed it for Band Hero.

But there was a glitch where if there was a song that had Expert Plus, the Expert version of that chart was harder to FC because it was somehow incorrectly parsing kicks or something along those lines so that you had to hit the kicks late.

The front end of the timing window just didn't exist anymore.

way too fast to think about fixing that shit.

Yeah, that was a point of contention, though.

I've seen, like, Score Hero threads, like, how it's fixed on Band Hero.

They knew that there was an issue, but they never ported that fix back to Guitar Hero 5, like, the, quote, main game.
