In the latest bout of the Guitar Hero/Rock Band wars, GameSpot is reporting the intriguing rumor that Guitar Hero IV will include songwriting in addition to drums and vocals.
According to the poster, the next issue of GI allegedly confirms that, yes, Guitar Hero IV will introduce drums and vocals a la Rock Band. (Get ready, Drum Villains!) More interestingly, the game will allow players to create their own songs–sans vocals, apparently due to copyright issues–and upload them along with customizable album art to a “Guitar Hero Tunes” store from which others can download them. Regular players will have a five-song cap, whereas those who pen popular ditties will be able to upload up to 10 power ballads.
When asked for confirmation, Activision was mum, but GameSpot is betting that the rumor is accurate, especially since Activision higher ups had been talking about having an innovative trick up their sleeve.
