Rockers & Gamers

Music game fans can rejoice that the incompatibility wars of “Rock Band” and “Guitar Hero” are already… over?

We broke the news last month that “Rock Band 2” and “Guitar Hero: World Tour” instruments will be cross-compatible on the Xbox 360, at least according to Activision.

Today, Sony’s official U.S. PlayStation blog reports that all drums, guitars and mics for “Rock Band 2,” “Guitar Hero: World Tour,” Konami’s “Rock Revolution” and “SingStar” will all work with each other.

This comes after a year of incompatible instruments and allegations that the makers of these games were preventing the previous version of these games’ guitars from working with each other. The announcement is progress all around, considering, among other things, that even “SingStar” wasn’t mic-compatible with any games until this announcement.)

Michael Shorrock, director of third-party relations for Sony Computer Entertainment America added to that news by stating that legacy titles are being looked at as well: “We’re still working hard to ensure compatibility between the Guitar Hero and Rock Band titles currently on the market, and we hope to have an announcement on that shortly.”
