News \ Guitar hero 4 gets more complex guitar?

We already know about the Drums and Microphone addition to the next guitar hero. Infact we were told

"The kit looks similar to Rock Band's, with its bass drum pedal and primary-colored circular pads (there are only three in GHIV), but that's where the similarities end.

Now if you have a look at

www.guitarhero.com/

Or if you are too lazy ..



You will notice yet another similarity.

More buttons on the guitar!!!!!!!!
A LOT more buttons on the guitar

Should guitar hero have stick to their insane guitar playing and let rockband be with their 'Band harmony' element?

Might make it easier if it is real... No jumping from orange to green...
But I would agree with Vinzor. The trailer shows nothing of extra buttons...

i think they're doin gr8 with the whole drum thing BUT yeah thats rite a BIG butt... i think if they are goin to have more buttons for the guitar there should be more drums for the drums (if that makes sense) coz in the RB drums theres 4 and a kik in gh4 theres 3 and 2 crash it would be more realistic to have 4 drums and 2 crashes

oh and ima drummer i know these things (im serious)

I dont care if its copied, Its going to be EXCELLENT
I cant wait for it. Plus I agree that i reckon they will be touch sensitve as the buttons dont have dimensions and are just flat. Maybe for your crazy finger solos where you just make it up?
My prediction FTW!

Big mistake for GH. They should improve the guitar controller instead, not make it similar to RB's guitar controllers.

Yeah they dont look like buttons, they're more square and look flat. Maybe its a just meant as a graphic enhancement?

They would be dumb to change the guitars (besides a cosmetic change) , part of the benefit over Rockband is that a lot of people will already have a GH3 guitar.

I think you're right, they look like stickers, perhaps it's just like that for the promo and will have real buttons in the real deal?

Still 5. Seriously, playing with 8 buttons? Imagine dragonforce on easy let alone medium!
youd be like hitting 1000000 notes a second.
