Sting gets MoCapped in Guitar Hero: World Tour preview

by Griffin McElroy { Sep 6th 2008 at 2:00PM }

Have you been curious about what Sting would look like all wire-framey and covered in ping-pong balls ever since you heard the news that the former Police frontman would make an appearance in Guitar Hero: World Tour? Good news, our little Desert Roses -- you need not look further than a recent promo for the title which we've conveniently posted after the break. We know that you usually rest your clickin' finger during the weekend, but we assure you, making the jump is worth it -- not only do you get to see Mr. Sumner's digital manifestation in action, you also get to hear about his lack of prowess when it comes to jamming on fake plastic instruments (though we hear his tantric usage of Star Power is a breathtaking sight to behold).

How very clever of you.

Didn't you guys already post an article on this? It might not have said Mo-cap, but when a character is put into the game, I think it is implied.

It's Sting this time, not Billy Corgan.

Cool! Sting and Billy Corgan are in this? Awesome!

Now. Can we actually find out what SONGS we'll be playing in World Tour?

Afterall, that WAS the original intent of Guitar Hero right? To play along to your favorite songs....?

you wish that's what this game was about

They've announced over 80% of the Songs already. Check out Wikipedia's page on GTWT.

"Now. Can we actually find out what SONGS we'll be playing in World Tour?"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_Hero_IV#Setlist

68 confirmed songs. The information is out there if you look.

It's a song list compiled from multiple sources, half of which maybe are Activision.

Several confirm songs were "recorded for Guitar Hero" but don't indicate if it's DLC or on-disc (see multiple songs from a single artists on-disc)

Don't point me towards the wiki article. I helped MAKE the wiki article. I know exactly what the sources are.

Could they get any more has beens? I mean aerosmith, sting, metallica, who's next activision? how about phil collins? He's pretty hardcore shit.

Jakka(Naked Peach Brigade) @ Sep 6th 2008 5:40PM

Aerosmith are the best-selling Hard Rock Artists in US, Sting(and The Police) sold over 50 Million CD's worldwide and Metallica is essentially a synonym of Metal Genre.

Oh, and they're all in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame.I'm not sure if they can get any more "hardcore".Maybe they could try it Ozzy Style? Is biting bat's head off hardcore enough for you?
