360 instruments also cross-compatible News

News by Robert Purchese

20 August, 2008

Microsoft has said Xbox 360 instrument peripherals for Rock Band 2, Guitar Hero World Tour and Rock Revolution will all be compatible across all three games.

Word follows a similar announcement made by Sony yesterday, which added that SingStar microphones could be used with Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero World Tour.

Microsoft karaoke game Lips, according to GameSpot, was absent from the compatibility list. Perhaps the tiny flashing lights are too off-putting.

Guitar Hero World Tour is due out for PS3, Xbox 360, Wii and DS later this year.

Rock Band 2 will be a timed exclusive for Xbox 360 in the US this September. European plans are unconfirmed - we're still to receive PS3, PS2 and Wii versions of Rock Band 1.

Rock Revolution for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and DS is yet to be given a date.

Hasn't it always been MS' policy that older peripherals have to be compatible with newer games? I thought that's why the GH guitars were working with Rock Band right from the start.

Boo, hiss. Ah well, I'll probably stick to the SingStar family of peripherals anyway, seeing as I already have the Guitar Hero 3 controller.

Always good news though!

"You all fall for MS bile."

Why would you bother posting that? It makes no sense, or has any relevance whatsoever. Completely pointless, just like every other post of yours.

Get back to me when GHIII will recognize RB controllers. I'm all done buying plastic guitars for a while.

Yes - they should be much better at predicting the future...

I thoughy GH WT drums used orange as a cymbal so how would that be compatible with RB drums where orange is the kick pedal?
