UK, June 16, 2008 - Guitar Hero IV could utilize a guitar with a touch sensitive neck that enables players to utilize the entirety of the fret board, according to leaked marketing documents.
Coming from the same source that contains supposed details of much of Microsoft's E3 showings, the Intelliresponse leak claims that Guitar Hero IV will feature a peripheral with a neck slide, a touch sensitive fretboard that allows for more freeform solos. The same document lists some of the bands to feature in the game, stretching back to sixties stalwarts Jimi Hendrix and The Doors and taking in Foo Fighters, Korn, System of a Down, Ozzy Osbourne, Muse and Interpol. The game is also given a price point of $179.99, which would place it competitively with its key rival, Electronic Art's Rock Band.
Activision declined to comment on the details, but expect to see more come E3 in the middle of July.
