E3 &quote;08: More Details On Guitar Hero World Tour

Further details have hit regarding Guitar Hero World Tour, particularly focused around the music creation side. Need further proof that the GH's music creator might have some weight to it? Read on!

-Backwards compatibility is in for guitars, though expect some features that call for the new designs to be locked out.

-The drum kit is looking to be pretty serious hardware, allowing for good feed back based around how hard you hit affect the volume of sound it produces. Along side that, they've been a thick layer of silicon to reduce the their general sound. However a real awesome part is the drum kit inputs, with two standard inputs and a MIDI input, you'll be able to hook up your own music gear to run into the game's creation studio.

-Mics are wired to reduce recording latency with good pitch detection, on par with the drum kit as far as gear quality goes.

-Guitar effects galore await you, in a team up with Line 6, you'll be looking at a wide range of hardware effects from the last 40 years.

-Drum machine + loop editing is in. You've got the flexibility to play it out yourself or work with your beats in the drum machine. You'll also have machines for rhythm, lead and keys.

-80 synth sounds await from a wide range of genres. You'll also be able to tilt the guitar while playing a keyboard melody to change octaves, with three sets loaded at a time.

-20 drum kits sounds are also in there.

-We're not 100% sure on this one yet but it's sounding like you'll have a one touch record option at any time, so you can just start recording and clean up later post jam.

Guitar Hero Mix is the name of your mixing tool, which if you know Pro Tools will be a snap to pick up and mess with. You'll be able to mess with existing recordings and slap in beats, set up light show markers, and it's all controlled via guitar.

Guitar Hero Tunes is the online library of user tunes for the game, from which you'll be able to pull tracks, play, and then rate them. Ranking systems are in so the good stuff sits on top.

-Character and guitar creators plus skinning tools are in, plus a randomizer to just mix it up.

-Finally, just to complete the studio experience, you can even put together your own album art with up to 40 layers to go out with your tracks.

So it's right about now we stop calling this a game and start calling it a studio package right?

Helloooooo, Tracklist!?!?!

I know Hendrix will have a couple of songs on + be a playable character, but there hasn't been much info on the tracklist (Or am I just looking in the wrong place?)

Man o Man.... now I can't wait! I always wanted to play drums growing up, but now that they have a bit more capabilities than the RB version drums... I'm going to lose my job playing this! If it's $300 here in the states... I don't think I can swing it though

boxhunter said: I think with the extra accesories the price of it is going to increase.

Making it very hard to utilise the drums and microphone.

I sure wont be paying more then $300 for this..



The price I think was set for 180 or 190 USD.

Probably wont, Rock Band was 160 too and it had the same things as GHWT but crappier drums.
