Guitar Hero: World Tour drums not recognized by PS3 Rock Band 2

Because they said it would.

From SCEA Director of Publisher Relations Michael Shorrock (in the link posted in the article):

"For the past several months, 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.

For the most part, this means that the titles with musical peripherals will work with the other’s software. A few specific examples include: Guitar Hero: World Tour’s guitars and drums will work with Rock Band 2 and Konami’s Rock Revolution software.

And yes, you guessed it, Rock Band 2’s guitar and drum set will work with Guitar Hero: World Tour and with Rock Revolution."

who the hell has a room to devote to 2 fake band setups... these peripherals take up a lot of space when you have 2 full kits...
and a lot of people dont have enough room in their own room for this to happen, but im sure some want to play both for extra songs and etc...

Actually... the PS3 does recognize the Wiimote.

Seriously, you can get them to sync. It won't do anything though, but it registers.

"The Xbox 360 drum sets seem to work with each respective game. "

There are these words underneath the headline that have more information about the same topic..... it really is amazing.

I think Joystiq needs a prompt that says "Did you RTFA?" that you must answer before you can comment on a story.

@dark_inchworm

If people can't RTFA, do you really expect them to RTF warning about the fact that they should have RTFA?

A point... you make it well.

Do these people even bother to proofread their posts?
Do they even realize what they're posting?

Yeah, I have no idea if my RB1 drums/guitar will work in GH:WT. All the articles thus far have only mentioned RB2.

They work great, I used them last night.

as far as they've said the guitars from the recent games will be interchangeable on Xbox and PS3

I c wat u did there,

Ive bin ceeing dis for 2 long nao...

Who needs fun when you got a whole bucket of original recipe and a jack and coke.

I found that originally as well. Then I went to the RB settings and turned up the mic sensitivity, and unplugged the PS Eye camera (which also has a mic, and RB was choosing over the Singstar mic for some reason).

Works fine now.

We should release a chart of their charts. That should either clear things up or complicate things to the point of total chaos.

Perhaps they're competing with nintendo with the world record for chart making? Any-who, I rather like to look at charts as I think they are shiny with information about stuff I care about. On a side note, I find both Rockband 2 and GHWT kinda shiny and I've really enjoyed GH3 thanks to Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson. Really hate how they've gone missing, but it makes sense cause those songs that were in GH3 were intrumental. However, when I get GHWT or RB2 I'll be expecting some really fun parties.

And of note is that someone from Neversoft posted to the Guitar Hero forums that they were supposed to release a Day 1 title update that would fix this, but we all know it's past day 1 now.

I just looked up that post on the GH forums and to be fair, what neversoftBRIAN posted on Friday was: "Don't worry, the ION Rocker works fine in the Xbox 360 Title Update for GHWT. This update should be out at launch if all goes well."

You can never predict when these things will come out with any certainty, but it certainly looked like
1- they had a working patch for the Ion drums on Friday
2- it was already making its way through the certification process

Barring any last minute surprises, it looks like Activision may actually do the right thing on this one.

...

That happened. A long, long time ago.

Did I get that backwards???
I meant, where's the patch to make the stratocaater work with GH?!?!?

The colors match up and the orange cymbal does nothing. I don't notice any "velocity sensitive" effect unfortunately. Other than that, it seems to work fine so far.

Believe me,i'm been trying for years to find a guitar that works on the PS3 with the older games.

Behold.

... just the $59.99 for the game.

$60 for a rockband wanna be? Nah. I think I'll pass. I would pay $30 for it though.

rock band 1 & 2- does mtv/viacom/paramount corporation who published the game and EA who distributes rock band deserve your $ 300+ if you bought the full kits.??

whats wrong with activision???

IMO all that money on any "fake band" games is a joke and the money should goto real instruments and all the time spent could go to learning real instruments....
but im not also a fan of the bus driver video game or playing golf or doing something i should do in real life for my benefit and enjoyment.
have fun though...millions do.. im not hating...

EA isn't an angel but at least they don't charge when their hardware breaks down, unlike Activision. I sent my rockband drums pads a total of 6 times (One time it was because hit the red pad too hard and the whole thing came off). And every single time it was free. I know sure as hell Activision won't be doing that anytime soon.

Oh and I didn't buy rockband at full price. I bought it for $100 (drums, guitar , mic and game) back in February from a co worker of mine who got it for Christmas and got bored of it.


And also, I've played my share of music games but after beating that stupid song on on expert in GH3, Through the fire and flames,(my gamercard http://profile.mygamercard.net/ElToRo15)I decided to stop playing the plastic guitar. So a cousin of mine gave me a real guitar and I've been taking lessons. So I am learning how to play a real instrument. But that whole "You would've learned the real guitar by now" is bull shit. Go tell the guys who play COD to join the army. Tell the guy who play Madden to join the NFL. It's stupid and people really need to stop saying that.

Some people just want to play some songs with friends without having to learn how to actually play the instrument. There ain't no harm in that.

Oh and what's wrong with Activision? Maybe the milking of guitar hero? You know. Guitar Hero DS. Guitar Aerosmith. And not only that but double the guitar hero in 09? No wonder there are people like you who can't stand music games. Too many crappy/lazy ports out.

my sentiments, exactly!
