Guitar Hero World Tour is the next game in Guitar Hero series coming out this fall
The release also goes on to mention that the game will feature "a slick newly redesigned guitar, a genuine electronic drum kit, and a microphone," and bands included are Van Halen, Linkin Park, The Eagles, Sublime, and "many more."
They also promise "significantly more" localized downloadable music than ever before on all the consoles, and for players to be able to customize everything from their characters' appearance to their instruments to the band's logo and album covers.
The new guitar is stated to be more responsive than before, and along with a microphone, will "deliver the most realistic drum experience ever in a video game with an authentic electronic drum kit. Featuring three drum pads, two raised cymbals and a bass kick pedal, the drum controller combines larger and quieter, velocity-sensitive drum heads with soft rubber construction to deliver authentic bounce back and is easy to set up, move, break down and store."
"Guitar Hero has set the standard for music-based gaming and with Guitar Hero World Tour and the game's groundbreaking Music Studio, we are once again delivering unprecedented innovation that has the potential to revolutionize consumer generated music, much in the same way that video sharing hubs have driven user generated video," said Dusty Welch, Head of Publishing for RedOctane. "With the introduction of our advanced high-quality new wireless instruments, in-depth customization options and advanced online functionality, the game enables music fans and gamers globally to share in the most social and expressive music experience ever."
In addition to the online modes from GHIII, World Tour will also add an eight-player online mode in the form of "Battle of the Bands," where bands can compete four-on-four to see who comes out on top, while four players can jam together offline.
