Wii Warm Up: Guitar Super Hero
Logitech and Activision announced that "premium" Guitar Hero: World Tour instruments were on the way yesterday. We have yet to see or hear any real details about the items, so we don't know exactly in which ways or to what degree they'll be enhanced versus their standard RedOctane counterparts. In the meantime, we'd like to ask what kind of "premium" features you would want out of guitar and drum controllers? More accurate size? Higher-quality materials? Real wood guitars? Mother-of-pearl dragon inlays? Also, how "premium" do you want these to go? How much are you willing to pay for a high-end guitar controller?
Logitech and Activision developing premium instruments for Guitar Hero
It's not too much of a surprise, after Rock Band got its set of expensive drums, for Guitar Hero to follow suit with "premium" instruments. For extra instruments, this may not turn out to be a bad thing, since Logitech generally makes high quality peripherals. It seems like an uncomfortable position for RedOctane. They started out making music-game peripherals, including those for Guitar Hero, and moved into publishing. Now Activision owns them and publishes Guitar Hero, and Logitech is making instruments.

E308: Metallica DLC in Wii Guitar Hero World Tour, MIDI drums compatible
Hot Guitar Hero: World Tour news out of Activision's press conference: Metallica songs will be featured as DLC in all three versions of the game. The Wii version is one of those versions! We like hearing anything that lends credence to the idea that GH World Tour will have DLC on the Wii. Could this replace the rumored Guitar Hero: Metallica?We admit to not really understanding the next bit, but apparently the drum kit will have some kind of MIDI port for the use of any MIDI drum machine in song creation mode. That sounds pretty serious! Although anyone with a drum machine probably has methods of music creation outside of Guitar Hero.

No music creation for Rock Band 2, says Harmonix CEO
"We really felt like we wanted to do it right," said Rigopulos. "We're taking a radically different approach to that problem. It's something we wanted to take more time to do it right. It's actually something we're not focused on in 'Rock Band 2.' We're really focused on other areas related to the music and bringing the community together." This is likely going to be a bummer for most of you who thought Rock Band 2 would excel over the ambitious World Tour. There's always the chance the music creation stuff in World Tour won't be fun or engaging, but we're not betting on that.

Which one looks superior to you right now? Plan on picking up either? Not really a big fan of the genre? What say you all?
Rock Band guitars don't play nice with Guitar Hero: Aerosmith
The Beatles revival in progress
People have talked about talking about it, but according to the Financial Times, actual representatives for The Beatles have been sitting down with Activision and MTV Games to make some progress. It's entirely possible that the Fab Four might make it to both games, but we'll be getting whichever one features this nifty number. Automatic screamage factor of twelve.

Worship the full range of World Tour instruments
Within hours of Rock Band hitting the Wii, Red Octane has begun the ultimate rock battle by releasing full images of instruments for the Wii version of Guitar Hero: World Tour. We've seen a few sneak peeks around the place, but now they are in their full gallery glory for you to enjoy.Rock Band one-upped the Guitar Hero franchise by adding drums and a microphone, so what's next? Add a burger and beer to the package to simulate the roadie experience? Stuff a few groupies in the box to cheer you on as you rock out in front of the TV? If you consider yourself a rock star with the new World Tour instruments, we don't blame you -- they look pretty hot.

Guitar Hero World Tour can save DLC to an SD card
Vicarious Visions' Karthik Bala has once again confirmed paid downloadable content in the Wii version of Guitar Hero World Tour, though current Wii guitar games have left us doubtful of any feature. Furthermore, you'll be able to save your songs to a "Rock Archive" on an SD card, and even play songs from the card without copying them over first. But ... but isn't that completely impossible?Bala also confirmed that despite the new guitar's wacky gimmickry, your old Guitar Hero III (or Guitar Hero: Aerosmith) guitar will work just fine, and that "any USB microphone should work." With all these features, Vicarious Visions is going to have to be really creative if they want to disappoint us.
