New 'Guitar Hero World Tour' Peripheral Revealed?

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Thursday, August 21, 2008 8:54 AM

UPDATE (8.21.08): It turns out we got some wires crossed on this story: According to a Red Octane rep., there is no new peripheral. There is an option in the Studio Mode to add keyboard sounds but that comes from the guitar. The input port on the drums is for any other instrument you would like to add to the tracks. Our apologies for misinterpreting.

~~We just got the hot word from Neversoft's Brian Bright, and we have some big Guitar Hero World Tour news:~~

A new peripheral is coming. The new periph. is specifically for the game's Studio mode, to help you make music, and while Bright wouldn't go into detail about what it will be, we are speculating that it will be a keyboard. Again, not for use in the game, but for use in the game's studio.

We think it'll be a keyboard because, simply, that's the best way to control music input... but, hey, we might end up being wrong. Look for an official announcement in the upcoming months. We'll let you know more when we know more.

I'll bet you're right...

And I'll go ahead and predict that the next Guitar Hero release and Rock Band 3 will have keyboard players in-band. Notice I didn't mention Rock Revolution 2, as that will never happen.

Will be interesting to see what they do. I'm excited.

This is going to be a good year for fans of music/band games.

I vote keyboard, if you look at the options for what instruments to use (in the video), keyboard was one of them

I cant wait for gt:wt, i still dont know what all the hype behind rockband 2 is. From what ive seen its just the same thing as the first game with more songs. Gh on the other hand is adding LBPesque creativity in the studio mode and the great gh formula.

I'm starting to get tired of this. I used to play rock band and guitar hero 2 and 3 a lot, but they've been dragging out this new one for so long that I've all but lost interest in it.
