Music games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band are primarily about playing along on peripherals, but have allowed people to sing with the songs in the past. Until now, it seemed like Guitar Hero Live would be a return to the series’ roots and only focus on the guitar. That changed at Gamescom 2015, as FreeStyleGames revealed that you can exercise those vocal cords while playing guitar chords.
People will be able to sing along to every song in Guitar Hero Live . They can even do so while playing the guitar. The lyrics will scroll along at the top of the screen, and people will be able to see if they’re keeping in tune by watching the bar there. Then again, maybe it’s better if you don’t try to play and sing at the same time?
Here’s the Gamescom Guitar Hero Live trailer.
Guitar Hero Live will be on the PS3, PS4, Wii U, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on October 20, 2015.
