Guitar Hero World Tour Officially confirmed for PC

Guitar Hero World Tour rocking PC, Mac

Aspyr Media and Activision bringing wireless-controller-enabled four-piece rhythm title to desktop platforms this summer.

Just as Aspyr Media and Activision teamed to bring Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock to the PC and Mac following the $1 billion title's console effort, so too are the companies teaming on Guitar Hero World Tour. The two said today that the four-piece rhythm game will arrive for desktop platforms this summer.


Like the console editions of World Tour, the PC and Mac versions of the game will feature 86 on-disc tracks, from the likes of The Eagles, Van Halen, Metallica, Michael Jackson, and The Doors. GameSpot's previous coverage has full details on the complete set list. Aspyr did not indicate whether the PC and Mac editions would support downloadable content and had not responded to requests for comment as of press time.

New this year, the PC and Mac editions of World Tour will offer wireless controllers, of which drums, guitars, and a mic will be available. The desktop-gaming versions of the title will also offer a variety of online and offline gameplay modes, as well as the song-creation feature Music Studio.

For an idea of what to expect from Guitar Hero World Tour on PCs and Macs, check out GameSpot's full review of the console editions of the game.

EDIT (confusingboat): I resized the image in the img tag and made your title smaller. Try to keep image sizes managable

Sweet, another game to promise DLC and other features that will never be released or supported.

[sensay]

[censored], idc about DLC. CUSTOM. DRUM. TRACKS. WOOHOOOOOOO

Of course, if callisto gets drums in FM first i wont care half as much..

[fude]

Hmm, quite nice. I wonder how wide variety of console drum kits will it support. Almost all of them works via USB anyway.

Im not buying this, partly because i cant use it, but more importantly they tried to shut us down damnit.

surely you're not suggesting you're going to boycott activision.

if so, i'd suggest taking a gander at this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Activision_games to see what your letting go

[CJB100]

to be honest, i won't buy it cuz it's going to be just as big of an epic fail (if not more of one) as gh3 was for cpu.

i know they said it ran smoothly when they tested it out, but they also said it had the same minimum requirements. think about it. activision was prolly running the game on like a fukin NASA cpu when gamespot interviewed them. Gamespot's always been on guitar hero's side anyways.

surprisingly enough i can live without these, sure hexen and heretic might be a little bit problematic, quake 3 is fixed by quake live or open arena, i thought doom 3 was utter crap at times, so im realy not fussed about these (bar the Atari collections, but skrew them).

and judging by the crap they tried to pull over at double fine, against brutal legend, i think this being put on my not to buy from list, is reasonable.

[lunchboxdave]

@hexen, what are you like a walking ad for this or what?

[guitarfreak93]

All my friends got consoles and i just bought a computer and upgrades.... ha ha ha well who's laughing now... me.

[akalink]

I have the game, it was a bigger disappointment than GH3. The online interface is the worst I've ever seen and the Studio feature is mediocre at best. I would just wait for Rock Band 2 on the new Onlive on Demand System.

[zidine100]

Dont hold your breath for the onlive system, heres a brief explanation over why it wont work.

www.eurogamer.net/articles/gdc-why-onlive-cant-possibly-work-article

edit: but if it does work, it would finally put windows mac and linux (hopefully) operating systems on an equal level on gaming. Exept if your in another country other than the us (im not there either) in which case you are skrewed because guess what, its AMERICAN only.

[xemnas768]

I'm not gonna buy it, BUT i'm gonna use torrents to get it free

[HEXEN/TRACKER22]

Hehe, welcome to the "We Hate Activision Forum"

about performance, GH3 works awsome for me, allways 60 fps, and its the only game that runs at 1080p 60 fps on my plasma so, im happy
(GeForce 9600GT Overclocked 720MhzCore/1033Memory
Dual Core 3.0 Ghz AMD 6000+
3GB Ram)
about porting, GH3 and Aerosmith doesnt have "blur effect" but all its fine for me, i play it with my Xploder 360 guitar and 360 controller
about GHIV itself, i just want to play the game, i dont care if its a bad port or not, i get it free.

But yeah, Drums/Vocals support would be awsome in FrontMan

[Confusingboat]

I'm guessing my processor is what's nagging my performance in that game. I only have an AMD X2 4200+ (2.2GHz/core). Good thing I'm getting the Phenom II 940 pretty soon

Here are my current specs:

AMD Athlon X2 4200+ (2.2GHz/core)
GeForce 9800GT
4Gb DDR2 1066 RAM (ordering my other 4Gb the same time I order the Phenom II 940)
