Logitech Guitar Hero World Tour Premium Instruments Coming

3:20AM Brian Crecente | Logitech is getting into the Guitar Hero business, it seems. The company just announced that they are teaming up with Activision to produce what they call permium instrument controllers for Guitar Hero World Tour for all three consoles. The first of these special instruments are supposed to hit later this year. All we know about the instruments is that they will be compatible with the games “advanced feature set” and will therefore allow gamers to “rock out” much harder. “As huge fans of Guitar Hero(R), we are very excited about the opportunity to bring the Logitech experience to the Guitar Hero franchise”, said Bruce Lancaster, vice president and general manager of Logitech’s gaming business. “A few years ago, Logitech refined the consumer steering wheel market with high-end controllers that enhance racing games. Now we are looking forward to elevating the market for premium music-based video game controllers in a similar fashion”. Hopefully we’ll be hearing soon exactly what will be so special about the instruments. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for double-necked guitar, spinning drum cage and, I don’t know, a mic stand with a red scarf tied to it. More »
