2006-10-02 12:32:31 Wired Controller for Guitar Hero

http://www.pro-g.co.uk/news/02-10-2006-3733.html

RedOctane has confirmed that the guitar controller for Guitar Hero II on the Xbox 360 will connect to the console using a wire.

The X-Plorer guitar was shown in prototype form at X06 with a wire connecting to the Xbox 360. At the time it was unclear if this meant that hopes of a wireless and free rocking session were to be dashed.

RedOctane has confirmed to GameSpot that the X-Plorer will not be wireless, and just as was necessary with the PlayStation 2 guitar, a wire will have to be used. There's further bad news for Xbox 360 rockers - the game won't ship for the next-gen console until 2007, months after the game's November debut on the PlayStation 2.

It might be worth waiting for the Xbox 360 version though; in addition to containing all the content from the PlayStation 2 game, you'll also be able to download new songs over Xbox Live Marketplace.

Well no..according to RedOctane it sounds like it's not very likely that they'll release one. I would love to be wrong though..I'm getting it regardless, this is one genre that the 360 has yet to tap at all.

They always have wired peripherals at tradeshows, so people can't walk off with them. The Microsoft wheel shown with Forza 2 was also wired, but we all know it won't be wired in final form. Don't lose hope! ;)

Take one 360, add some chopped PS3, stir in some Wii, a sprinkling of DS Lite. Enjoy :)

The developers themself came out with the info about the wired controller, so they kinda took away our hope. ;)

I thought Red Octane was an online game rental service.

-edit

Oh it is... They made the game? :P

Me dumb. Carry on.
