You know all these rhythm games? Well we clearly don’t have enough of them by now, right? Well Band Hero is coming this Autumn and you know how we love our fake instruments? Well please sir, have some more! – Redesign number 2375?
The revamped drum kit controller features an improved and visually compelling ‘floating’ drum pad design with quiet drum heads and easy access first party controls for additional flexibility when navigating the game. The updated kick pedal offers players a new level of responsiveness while drumming along to the music, as well as two built-in kick pedal ports, so players can bang out the double bass beats of Expert+ drum tracks that will be available via downloadable content and song importing. The new drum kit controller also features a handy slot for players to store their drumsticks under the drum pads. The entire unit rests upon a newly designed stand offering stability as well as height guides on the vertical supports to make adjustments a breeze.
In addition, the guitar controller shipping with Band Hero in Europe will also feature an improved strum bar and the neck slider to help with accuracy when nailing those tricky solos. The guitar controller is finished off with chrome effect tuning pegs and a sleek red and white faceplate to let Band Hero players strum in style.
How many of Johnny Cash’s songs can you name in one fiery sentence? Well I imagine quite a few but who said I was going to try? That would just be weird.
So enjoy your ring of fire and never forget when the man comes around, look busy.
