During Activision’s unofficial E3 Press conference on Tuesday evening, two developers commented about future Guitar Hero games being compatible with other instruments that haven’t been designed with Guitar Hero in mind, like Rock Band’s instruments.
The two Activision representatives confirmed that cross-game instrument problems would be a thing of the past, as Guitar Hero: World Tour will be able to use the instruments from the first Rock Band, along with other third-party equipment.
Activision has also issued an update to Guitar Hero: Aerosmith that should allow third-party instruments to work, as gamers haven’t been able to use other instruments for the game since it was launched, which is a fix that many fans asked for.
