You Can Use Your Smartphone As A Guitar Hero Live Microphone
We've known about Activision's ambitious mobile plans for Guitar Hero Live since the game was announced. One additional feature was explained to Game Informer today as we discussed the recently announced vocal feature.
If you already have a USB microphone, you're set. Plug it in and you're ready to wail. If you don't, you could hold off on purchasing one. Freestyle games studio head (and Guitar Hero Live creative director) Jamie Jackson told us that the companion app has a neat additional feature. You can turn it into a WiFi-connected microphone.
The specifics (as well as more features for the app) will be revealed in the coming weeks. But given the prevalence of smartphones, this could save you some bank when Guitar Hero Live releases on October 20 for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Wii U, and mobile platforms.
You can read more about Guitar Hero (which just hit 100 announced songs), in our coverage from this week.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
