Alright folks, you have been warned. It is no secret now that Guitar Hero 4 will include...more instruments (Drums and Mic), though it is no relation to that other game. Can it still be called "Guitar" Hero if it includes all the instruments of an average "Rock Band"? But I digress.

A blogger over at destructoid.com posted a scanned image from the latest issue of Game Informer. To see what the bastard child of Activision and a former MTV Games employee looks like, feast your eyes:



From Destructoid:


These latest scans from the June issues shows us how Red Octane plans to overtake the competition with the help of a former MTV games employee. The designer of these drums come from a man by the name of John Devecha, who had a part in creating the drums for MTV's Drumscape game.

The design of the drums themselves are pleasing to the eyes. The drums use three pads, two cymbals and foot petal. That means that there will be six parts that will be used in the drum part of this game. I personally think there is a lot of problems that could arise from this design.
There is a likely chance that cymbals could break. Also, without something to stabilize the foot pedal, there could be many problems with people pedal's slipping on them in key moments in the song. This leads me to my final question: Why is Activision not letting me use the Rock Band Drums in Guitar Hero 4






I agree wholeheartedly; why is Activision not letting gamers use the Rock Band drums. Oh yeah, the same reason why they are not letting us use Rock Band guitars in current GH games.

I'm not a big fan of this whole thing tbh, it costs too much money. I really enjoy rockband when i play it, but i would never pay that much money for all those additional instruments, esp not if they're all gonna be lame and not let us use drums/guitars across games. Its just a scam to get us to spend more money.

you know what... I have payed thousands of dollars for all of the drums I own, (5 sets to be exact!) I don't want to pay for one that doesn't match my standard of purchase! I have decided that even though my 2 hobbies, drums and games, are being joined, (I can play Tom Sawyer on actual drums but not on rock band,) I don't want to relearn to play drums the wrong way.

I sure as hell won't pay for it!

This is as serious as I will ever post. To each their own, but not for me!

Like i said in the "Rock Revolution" Post i think Guitar Hero should have stuck with the guitar, i still loved the game more then rock band since the game is so much more fun, alone that is. Although i think these drums look much better then the rock band ones, i still wont pay another 80 dollars for a plastic drum set, i dont even really play my rock band ones anymore anyways. We will see how long this trend of trying to match RB is.

That just defeats the purpose of GUITAR hero. If I want to play drums, I will get rock band. Guitar hero should stick to only guitars because I know a lot of people who played rock band and didnt like the drums. I'd rather have a high quality game with one instrument than a whole medicore band of instruments.

I heard they got the rights to "Drum Hero" so it only makes sense that they would make their own drums. I'll play it, but I won't buy the new hardware unless I have to.
