Continuing the flow of rumors from the
aforementioned survey site, there's now the rumor that
Guitar Hero 4 is still searching for a final subtitle and that it's going to try to make you buy
even more fake plastic instruments, with the full version (including instruments) running for $179.99. The guitar is going to be wireless and have a touch sensitive neck slide, the drums are also wireless and have raised cymbals, plus the mic is also rumored to be wireless.
As for the music itself the site lists a whole host of different artists, including Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins, Korn, System of a Down, Ozzy Osbourne, Interpol, Muse and more. Additionally, the game has tons of customizable stuff, with custom tracks, album art, characters and logos.
How about it readers? Can
GH4 truly take on
Rock Band now?

The second time was on purpose.
But back to the news story, is there anywhere i can read the entire thing?
Or shall i just keep pressing F5 on X3F? I'm guessing the latter.

GH2 & GH3 had very limited downloadable content, even though it was touted as one of its great features.
So I think I'll skip GH4 and just get Rock Band when it comes out to Aussieland.
I still suspect they will still get some great sales based off the Guitar Hero name.

GH4 has custom tracks, eliminating the need for DLC.
Which is awesome.

Yeah, custom tracks with no vocals. WOW
No...
But I know eh? It sucks that we won't/haven't gotten rock band here yet =(

Wow, Neversoft is adding a new feature to the guitar!
How innovative (Not)
I hate GH now.
GH 1&2 were awesome, GH3 was horribly charted, and GH from now on is down right terrible.
I'm guessing in 3 years GH will be right next to Tony Hawk today.
:Goes to go play Rock Band:

I love how you just assume that any game ever created under the Guitar Hero persona will be terrible. Stereotyping at its finest.

I think he was talking about the source and not X3F, but I could be wrong :/

Guitar Hero is such a bad game and their equipment is cheap crap.

im baffled as to why you're here complaining about a franshise you don't like and a game that hasn't been played, or even shown, to the public yet.
furthermore, guitar hero's equipment is without question the highest quality amongst the rhythm game genre.
that said, i don't really like guitar hero all thatm uch anyway. GHII was fun but the hammering sysem annoyed me. GHIII fixed it but the songs and note charts were ridiculous. (It's hard to not get excited when i see the word Muse in there though)

One would just hope that the touch sensitive neck is VERY responsive because some of those guitar solos I've seen require quick fingers. No tactile feedback needs to be balanced by responsiveness.
