Hmm I obviously missed out on a press announcement somewhere.
I was browsing the local PS3 forums yesterday (www.ps3za.co.za) and I came across some posting about how the next version of Guitar Hero is going to be coming with a drum kit and microphone and all of that… A bit like Rock Band.
Well I was quick to jump up and call BS on the whole thing because I couldn’t imagine someone actually shipping Guitar Hero IV as a clone of Rockband… it just feels wrong.
Then I see the GHIV drum kit on Engadget…. So it seems that I was completely off the mark.
Morally I disagree with this move, Guitar Hero is a fantastic game and this just feels like a cheap copy.. however I am sure people are going to disagree…

*sigh*
Why, o why!? That can’t even justify calling it Guitar Hero then.

This looks very, very similar to the arcade Drummania controller, which has existed since 1999…

No points for originality. Pretty sure it will still sell ridiculously well though.
