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.

Re:The Next Step

First, use two spaces after periods.

With the controllers getting more complex,the next natural step is fretted,stringed activation.Might as well just get a real guitar.

Or one with a MIDI controller that is perfect for use with games... what's wrong with educational value in entertainment? If more people find a fun way to learn instruments, that's great.

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.

It's a pretty small selling game. But you don't play to win admiration, you do it for entertainment value. There are limited songs now but the genre is only catching on to the mainstream. New singles are showing up on Guitar Hero & Rock Band and can be used for successful promotion and sales of music, and there is clearly demand. Sure you can't play everything but the fact that this is possible now is enough of a novelty.

Plastic junk you eventually garage sale.

I am never selling my games...

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.

Sounds like your argument is Composer vs Gamer, not Guitar Hero vs Guitar. But even then, one is a career and the other is stuff you do to relax or as a hobby. What exactly are you trying to say here?
