Guitar Hero World Tour Compatible With Rock Band
I’d pretty much given hope that this would happen, but Activision recently rocked my socks with news at their non-E3 event that Guitar Hero: World Tour will work with Rock Band’s instruments as well as third party made controllers.
That, of course, means that Rock Band owners aren’t screwed into either missing out on the game entirely or having to invest in a whole other set of instruments. The only negative to this is that they probably won’t work with the Rock Band 2 instruments, because that game isn’t even out yet. It’s kind of hard to program for a game you know nothing about. Now hopefully Harmonix will return the favor.
It wasn’t said how the major differences between the World Tour drums and the Rock Band drums will have on game play. My guess is that there will be slight dumbing down of the controls to account for the fewer “buttons” on the Rock Band controller.
