> As revealed earlier this week, Neversoft’s Guitar Hero IV (PS2, PS3, X360, Wii) will bring drum, vocal, and music creation support to the franchise. Now it appears GH4 may not be compatible with the Rock Band drum kits that are already in the homes of many gamers.

I have to say while it makes sense from a business standpoint to compete with Rock Band like this, it kind of defeats the purpose of Guitar Hero in the first place, doesn’t it? I know Rock Band’s guitar is considered way easier than GH3 because it’s more set up for a group jam-out, so I hope this doesn’t affect the difficulty curve for Guitar Hero. I feel like Guitar Hero is better as a single-player game, while Rock Band is good for jamming with buddies. I don’t want to have to feel like I need to always jam multiplayer in Guitar Hero as well.
