[E32008] GH World Tour to work with RB instruments

Posted in Hardware, Games, Xbox 360 by Zan Toplisek on July 17th, 2008 at 21:48

Earlier this week, Guitar Hero World Tour’s developer Neversoft confirmed on stage that the forthcoming installment in the rock rhythm series will be compatible with non-Guitar Hero instruments. Curious whether that meant Rock Band instruments will work with World Tour, MTV Multiplayer asked two Activision representatives for clarification.

Activision confirmed that the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero World Tour will indeed be compatible with the original Rock Band instruments, as well as other third-party guitar and drum peripherals. As for the Rock Band 2 ones, it’s too early to tell. The company refused to comment whether the same applies for other versions of World Tour.

Is this what you’ve been waiting to hear?

It is going to be interesting to see which game plays better. For me it was definitely GH over Rock band this past go around but it looks like Rock Band has got their act together and have fixed their mistakes this time. I can only hope that I will be able to buy both games and not have to buy anymore equipment, although the new drums on both setups look awesome.

This was exciting news for people who wanted to buy GH:WT, but couldn’t justify the price tag after buying RB, myself included. Good work activision.

Well then I think I take back my ranting against Activision saying they wouldn’t get any more of my money. Since it’ll work with my RB instruments I’ll spend $60 on the disc most likely.

How will it work? GH:IV has an extra color…

When an RB peripheral is connected it will detect that’s the case and lose a colour….

So they had to do 2 versions of notes for every song because of this? That’s crazy. Not to mention that adds basically a whole new set of songs to play if you need to play every possible version of every song. That is if it is true.

Awesome This sounds brilliant. I wasnt even interested in this until I just read the title :D. There was no way we were getting another set of instruments but I’m sure we can pick up the disc no problem
