    Guitar Hero 5,new modes announced and first bands Petty,Stones,Cash,Dylan

    "Guitar Hero 5 will let up to four players rock out on the same instrument at the same time. That's four guitarists or four microphones and yes, even four drummers.

    The game will also let you mix and match willy nilly what instruments you want to play as a group, so you can set up the instruments you want, and only the instruments you want. The four-player drop-in, drop-out support is available in all modes of play, even career.

    The game's new Rockfest mode lets four players play in a variety of head-to-head modes online or on the same console. As players go through the song the difficulty adjusts based on how you play. You drop down a level for every third missed note and jump up in difficulty for every 20 notes you land in a row. The player with the most points wins.

    Of course, the driving force behind any Guitar Hero game is its soundtrack. This one will launch with a nice selection of songs including music from Tom Petty, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Vampire Weekend, Arctic Monkeys and Johnny Cash."

    There's actually some good stuff in there. Difficulty adjusting sounds cool, as does the fact that it will be backwards-compatible with DLC.

      I missed that line the first time heh. It's intrestingly stated "all previously available downloadable music will be playable on Guitar Hero 5." I won't get hopes up but if the GH II and III DLC works too that'd be really great.

        That would be interesting, being able to play the old GH DLC with four guitars, for example.

          More than one person getting to play lead guitar will be fun.

            How the hell are they going to fit four people playing guitar/drums/bass on the screen?

            The notes are going to look like dots. Three people is bad enough, even on the biggest TV.

            And that sucks they're getting Cash. I've been dying for Ring of Fire. Good to know that there is a master of it though.

              I don't understand how this is logistically possible; can't an XBOX360 / PS3 / Wii only handle four controllers, regardless of USB hubs / etc.?

              It strikes me that this is going to be very hackeneyed and not very well thought out; i.e. two guitar players will tag team on the same notetrack or something else not cool. I could be wrong though.

                Sounds to me like you are still limited to four players maximum, just with any combination of instruments.

                  White Stripes and Kings of Leon with 25 artists total that haven't been in a music game before. New music creator and "band moments" gameplay feature. GHWT songs will be exportable.

                    It's still only a total of four players at one time, it's just that now it can be any combo of instruments, even if all four are the same.

                      Ah gotcha. Clearly I was confused. At least now I know Activision hasn't totally lost it.

                          I uncensored the Kings of Leon song as the word sex is censored on that forum for some reason despite The Sex Pistols being in the last 2 games. Also one of those cases where censorship makes it wwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy worse. There's only 2 3 letter words normally censored and either way that's terrible.

                              Sounds like it could shape up to be a great songlist, but I'll need to see some actual gameplay improvements before I touch this.
