Some good points made, and a good read, but the pripherals for the current Rock Band and Guitar Hero are cross-compatible. They will also be compatible with Rock Revolution when it comes out, so you’ll only need one set of fakeplasticrock instruments!

I agree; it seems like Activision is going out of its way to ignore its “uncle”. I’m definitely getting a “those are not the droids you’re looking for” vibe from the GH4 hype.

My main concern is that GH4 could fracture the market. Most people don’t have room or money for two full sets of FPR equipment, and Activision wasn’t exactly accommodating to the fans when they shut out the RB guitars from GH3. If that attitude continues, it’s going to make people choose between the GH and RB route and they’ll be stuck. And if they get deeper into exclusive deals with popular bands (a la Aerosmith), it could get really sucky for us virtual rockers.

A great read, thank you for all the info. You can read more about the new Guitar Hero in this month’s issue of Game Informer as well.

I’m a Rock Band fan all the way, and the interviews in GI were a bit distressing in how much the creators of Guitar Hero were denying all of the great ways that Rock Band moved the genre forward.

Such is corporate competition I guess.
