Details for Guitar Hero 4 Released

GameSpot is reporting that details for Guitar Hero 4 have been released. The biggest news seems to be that the new release will be adding drums and vocals a la Rock Band. The new drums are to offer three pressure-sensitive pads (which can tell if you are just tapping or really wailing), two elevated cymbals, and a pedal. "The details in Game Informer also clear up the mystery surrounding the 'innovation' which Activision promised was coming to the Guitar Hero series in a recent earnings report conference call. The article outlines the game's studio mode, which will give users a variety of ways to create their own songs. Players will be able to jam along with one of the game's existing tracks, record songs as they're played, or meticulously detail note charts."

Re:Never got why people like Guitar Hero

Because it's an amazing rhythm game that gives a vague impression of playing awesome guitar riffs. I've seen people play this. They look very stupid.

In turn, playing awesome guitar riffs is one of the most bad-ass feelings in the world. There are just few things that are cooler than pulling off anything on a guitar, really. True, but playing those little dorky guitars is not cool. Shredding on a ESP connected to a Mesa/Boogie, is.

Don't worry.
morari has a plan to buy Wiis for all those PS2 owners.
And if we promise to be really good - he will buy Wiis for all those X-BOX owners and PS3 owners too.

I know that it sounds like a lot to us, mere humans, but he is such a cool guy - I am sure he could pull it off.
I feel honoured by his presence on Slashdot and I am eagerly awaiting my Wii.
