Guitar Hero World Tour Music Creation Demonstration

1Up has a video of a detailed demonstration of Guitar Hero: World Tour's music creation system from GamesCon 2008. Activision shows off its robust note-recording system, which features dozens of different tones and sounds as well as the ability to play full musical scales. Tilting the guitar up and down can change octaves (or loudness for the drum machine). Users will also be able to record loops and tweak them for inclusion in full songs, which can accommodate all four players. The songs can then be uploaded and shared with the community.

The Next Step

[flyneye]

With the controllers getting more complex,the next natural step is fretted,stringed activation.Might as well just get a real guitar.The difference is:
Controller,you do the instrumental karaoke thing,some people appreciate it,you go home with the admiration of a small clique.Limited to songs you purchase.Plastic junk you eventually garage sale.
Guitar,you actually milk out the sounds in your head,most people appreciate it,you go home with that blond in the front row.Not limited to songs included in game modules.Guitar has some resale value to enable better model in the future.
