Guitar Hero/Rockband Combination?

At Activision's E3 press conference Tuesday, Guitar Hero director Brian Bright told the crowd that if they already owned guitar controllers and drum controllers from "previous games" on the Xbox 360, they'd work with Guitar Hero World Tour.

What Activision didn't say is how that will actually work, considering that Rock Band drums have four pad inputs and Guitar Hero World Tour has five.

UPDATE: Here's how it'll work. Speaking with Bright after the conference, I found out that the game's five-button drum track, shown above center, will be compressed down to four inputs if a Rock Band drum controller is inserted.

There's also a MIDI jack on the back of the drum kit, Bright said, which will allow gamers to play Guitar Hero with any electronic drum kit by simply plugging it into the controller. You can also hook up a second drum pedal if you want to play two bass drums.

Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and Beatles? What a Combination!

How would you feel to soon be playing to the sound of the Beatles' music on your instruments?

Apple Corporation and EMI, which handle the Beatles' business ownership and such have recently talked with MTV and Activision about...well... introducing them into Rock Band and Guitar Hero. The deal is supposedly pushing several million, but who knows what is in store for the gaming community.

As we all know, Rock Band and Guitar Hero have been the biggest hit video games involved instrumentally if not the only ones. Both Rock Band and Guitar Hero are available on consoles which may lower the sales companies bring in, but who cares about that anyway? The Financial Times reports that the move to push the Beatles onto video games could occur anytime in the upcoming weeks.

Both, the Beatles' representatives and the game publishers of Guitar Hero and Rock Band (Activision/MTV) denied to say whether such a deal was confirmed to occur.
