GH5 DLC won't work in GH World Tour News

PlayStation 2 Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 Wii
News by Tom Bramwell

24 August, 2009

Downloadable content for Guitar Hero 5 will not be compatible with Guitar Hero: World Tour, according to an Activision spokesperson.

The reason given to Destructoid is that the "advancements and innovations" in GH5 are too much for poor old GHWT to cope with.

Of course, the songs on the Guitar Hero: World Tour and Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits discs, and the majority of downloadable songs for both, can be used in GH5, and will make use of said updates, as long as you pay a small tax.

Oh, and Guitar Hero 5 downloadable content "will be compatible with future Guitar Hero and Band Hero games", apparently, although whether that too will cost money is not explained.

Read our preview of Guitar Hero 5 to see what those "advancements and innovations" actually amount to, and look out for our review soon.

The game's due out on 11th September on PS2, PS3, Wii and Xbox 360.

Is there any point in keeping the GH:WT disc once GH5 comes out seeing we can play all our songs on the new one?

Because of their gross human rights violations and the immoral marketing of breast milk substitutes in developing countries, I am boycotting Nestle. Except for that nice hot chocolate they make of course, that's delicious and I buy it every day.

The reason given to Destructoid is that we need to milk as much capital out of this donkey before we send it to the knackers yard.

Of course, the songs on the Guitar Hero: World Tour and Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits discs, and the majority of downloadable songs for both, can be used in GH5, and will make use of said updates, as long as you sign over the soul of your first born child.
