Guitar Hero -- World Tour Guitar Mystery Images

Posted by timothy on from the good-to-live-where-this-is-worth-caring-about dept.

Erik Johnson writes "I noticed something interesting tonight when re-tolerating that Guitar Hero: World Tour trailer and took a few screens, nothing solid of course, just some intriguing visuals on the alleged new guitars for the game. Whoever directed the commercial obviously had strict instructions to avoid having any clear shots of the guitar controllers. Get a closer look at the images."

    I assume that the "slider bar" on the frets below the buttons is exactly that. Hold your finger down and slide it up and down to adjust the pitch. I envision a satisfying, StrongBad-esque "breeeeaaaaaaaaaoooooooooowrwrwr" happening as a result.

      Soon they'll be adding strings to it and then connecting those strings to an amplifier. Then the screen will show a series of, lets call them "notes", that correspond to specific hand positions on the strings.

    Yes, a rectangle designed to make you buy a new guitar when your GH3 guitar will work perfectly well

  4. How much Did Activision Pay for this Post? by xero314 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Good job Slashdot.

    When Activision is screwing their customers by denying cross compatibility the moderators refuse to put the article up, even though it was voted all the way up on the firehose.

    When someone has some wild speculation about a new game being released by Activision it goes right to the front page!
