Brink Takes Swipe At Console Gamers, Deletes PC Gamers’ Characters

Oh those silly console gamers. They couldn’t possibly handle the advanced PC gaming concepts like objective-based teamplay. Why, if there was a bug in the game that say, deleted their characters completely if they exited the game too early, console gamers would be beside themselves. Wait, there is?

GH World Tour Drum Tuner Is PC App

Activision and RedOctane has been working furiously to deal with issues Guitar Hero World Tour players have been having with their over and under-sensitive drum kits, and to that end they’ve released a Guitar Hero World Tour Drum Tuning Kit, as promised back on Tuesday.

Activision Addresses GHWT Drum Sensitivity

Reports are popping up all over the internet regarding sensitivity issues with the new drum controller that comes packaged with Activision’s Guitar Hero World Tour. Some complain the drums are too sensitive; others that they aren’t sensitive enough, and then there’s folks like me whose green one rattles when you hit it, but that will have to be addressed another time. If only there was some sort of drum tuning kit that would allow owners to optimise the drums to their liking. Oh look, an official statement from Activision. We have learned that certain drum kit controllers manufactured for Guitar Hero World Tour have sensitivity issues. We believe that these controllers are limited to ones in the earlier manufacturing stages. While we believe that this was an isolated manufacturing issue, we are stepping our efforts to randomly test our drum kit controllers so customers can be assured they work properly. In the event any consumers do experience problems with their drum kit controllers associated with sensitivity issues, Activision will soon be offering a drum tuning kit that will enable players to fully optimise their drums.
