The lucky bastards over at [ IGN ] recently got to play with the newest version of Guitar Hero. Did I mention that they are lucky bastards, oh yeah… ok, and while we are all still dreading the day that our living rooms are completely filled with plastic instruments, the new GH4 guitar has got some additions that will make even the most die-hard Rockband fan consider getting both.
According to their review :
“The biggest addition to the new guitar is the touch pad located on the neck. While playing a song, this touch sensitive strip allows you to alter notes during sustains by sliding up and down the strip (giving more freedom and options than what you had before with just a whammy bar). It can also be used for tapping to play notes, particularly awesome if you want to mimic a slap bass. The real power of the touch pad comes in the music creator.”
I feel like jumping up and down like a gleeful 14 year old … ok, I am actually doing that, but can you really blame me.
The back/select button has been more tightly integrated into the bridge of the guitar and makes it easier to use to go into overdrive, and makes the overall look and feel of the guitar more realistic. The guitar is also bigger which will also help that feeling of realism.
Like I have said in earlier posts, the guiatar is also wireless, and has changeable face plates.
Activision, I know you are reading, so listen carefully. Dump the Aerosmith crap, and get this game released.. I want it… I WANT NOW!!
