Rock Band 2, Guitar Hero 4 Get Cross-Compatibility on PS3
Posting on the PlayStation Blog, SCE PR director Michael Shorrock revealed that Sony has brokered an arrangement between the developers of Rock Band, Guitar Hero and Rock Revolution to ensure instrument interoperability on the PS3.
“We have been working closely with Neversoft and Activision, Harmonix and Konami to ensure that PlayStation 3 guitars and drum sets will all feature a basic level of gameplay compatibility,” he wrote.
He explained that both the drum kit and guitar from Guitar Hero 4 and Rock Band 2 will work with each other; drums and guitars from both titles will also be compatible with Rock Revolution, while that game’s drum kit will be compatible with the other titles.
Shorrock also noted that microphones from SingStar will be compatible with both Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero 4.
As for compatibility between the current games in the market, he wrote that the company is “working hard” and that they hope to have an announcement shortly.
