Guitar Hero IV is gonna have additional instruments

[U-Warrior]

To compete with rockband.

Don't remember where I saw it, and don't feel like looking. My tpww rep is such that you should all believe me anyways.

Vocals were the only other instrument mentioned, but I assume drums will happen too.

Gotta say, I garauntee no one who owns rockband will buy this if the peripherals aren't interchangable. Not buying two fucking sets of drums and mics, and ANOTHER guitar.

Gonna havta change the name.

Peripherals Hero

Guitar Hero: Spinoff

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous right now. I have 2 PS2 guitars, 1 360 guitar, a 360 mic and a 360 drumset. The drums are in the basement, as they take up mad space too. They take up mad space

[KingofOldSchool]

Garage Band Hero

Wadding was telling me about a survey he took in which they mention specifically adding new instrumentS to the mix, and asked about names like Guitar Hero: Jame.

[Kane Knight]

That is, Jam.

And this proprietary bullshit. I mean, I have an LP and a Strat controller. I can't use the strat with Guitar Hero. So I can't use the drums from Rock Band on the next Guitar Hero. They'll probably come up with some way to prevent you from using a USB Microphone unless it's one of theirs.

Why the fuck would I want to buy up a new set of instruments to play a new game? especially when I have like 50 tracks on Rock Band?

I need to buy the drum set eventualy, but I live in a tiny closet of an Apartment.

[D Mac]

I'll stick with RB for drums. If you can't use any of those on GH 4 I might just get the mic and that's it.

[Kalyx triaD]

Great... "Rock Hero" I'm betting.

If the RB Guitar is any clue, the drums will not work for this new 'Hero game. It's over-doing, anyway. I would have been fine with tracks that allow Lead, Bass, and Rhythm and a 3-player mode that let's three players play them all at once. More exclusive tracks like the three in GH3 where real guitar heroes have a jam session on their axes and you play them. For that matter, special versions of popular rock songs with extra solos and sections made just for the game (like Cult of Personality). All of that would've locked GH4 down on my wishlist, but being a copycat seems to be the order of the day.

Fail.

[OssMan]

What would be even better, is if there was some product that would allow you to plug say a PS2 guitar into it and then be plugged into an Xbox360. That's the reason I didn't buy Guitar Hero 3, was cause I wasn't gonna buy another guitar for a new system

[D Mac]

Well at least we'll still get Guitar Hero. Maybe more downloadable shits to compete with RB also. Of course i'll only buy the ones I can't get on RB.

[Funky Fly]

Quick question: does the GH3 controller work for Rock Band and vice versa?

[U-Warrior]

GH controllers work with rockband, but not the other way around.

[Requiem]

The GH3 controller works on RB I know for sure. A lot of people on youtube still use it because it is easier to nail some of the solos in harder songs. But as for RB guitar working for GH3, I -might- have heard that it does not work.

[El Fangel]

Hold up, how do you use a GH controller with RB?

[U-Warrior]

um... plug it in.

[Funky Fly]

Yeah, cuz I need another guitar and I was wondering whether to bother getting the GH3 bundle for 360.

[U-Warrior]

Rockband wireless guitars are 69.99 at wal-mart. Might as well just get the Les Paul GH3 bundle instead.

[Funky Fly]

May as well.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Not on all formats does the GH guitar work on RB.

PS3 controllers are not interchangable. There was a patch coming out for Rock Band, but Activision got Sony to block it....

[D Mac]

LOL more proof of how the PS3 fails.

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, it's funny how Activision cockblocked it.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>As long as my GH2 controller continues to work for all games I don't think I'm buying another guitar. :o I never even touch the one that came with RB.</font>

[Kane Knight]

I hate the look and feel of the X-Plorer. Though the LP is fine.

[Tornado]

Yeah there is no way I will buy this if the Rock Band instruments won't work for it. And I am a huge Guitar Hero fan.

25 Days till the UK Release of RB..:(

[Taft]

I like Guitar Hero because it was just that..

GUITAR Hero.

Fuck all this other shit

I'm officially off the GH wagon.

[OssMan]

Hold up, how do you use a GH controller with RB?

um... plug it in.
lol
