At tonight's Activision press briefing, the publisher revealed some very promising new details about Guitar Hero World Tour; particularly the music studio. We brought you a few of those details earlier, but here are some more, in point form no less!
* Previous guitars will be compatible with the game (although you obviously won't be able to use some of the functionality that comes with the new guitar).
* The drum kit is being designed to be a seriously robust piece of hardware. Not only is the skin composed of a thick layer of silicon, giving the drums authentic-feeling bounce back and making them quieter, but the harder you hit them, the louder the sound.
* The drums have inputs galore: two standard input ports on the back (so you can plug in two kick drums if you want), plus a MIDI input, so you can run your Groovebox or similar piece of kit through the game's music studio software. Future-proof? Check.
* The Microphone is wired to reduce latency, and has extremely accurate pitch detection. Again, it's designed to be a solid, quality piece of kit.
* Travis Barker, the drummer from +44 (and former Blink 182 drummer) was an advisor in the design and feel of the drum kit. He will be a playable character in the game, as will Hayley Williams, the singer from Paramour.
