Guitar Hero: World Tour’s secret “instrument” really a MIDI import feature

Filed under:

Ah, how easily phrases can be misconstrued when you’re not absolutely precise in what you say. While the intarwebz have been ablaze with speculation about the elusive “new peripheral” on the forthcoming Guitar Hero: World Tour title, Neversoft project director Brian Bright has delivered a copious amount of non-potable water to the scene in the form of this sobering news. There actually won’t be any new “instrument,” per se; rather, the PS3 version of the game will include a MIDI import feature that gives PC-using musicians the ability to import rhythm guitar, lead guitar, bass, keyboards and drum tracks in as a GH Tunes song. For undisclosed “hardware reasons,” the Xbox 360 version can only handle the skins. Eh, 2 stars.
