Speaking with
Business Insider,
Rock Band 4 project director Daniel Sussman revealed the upcoming music game will be compatible with last-gen Guitar Hero and Rock Band peripherals.
Sussman explains he and his team wanted to see this integration through as a way to cut costs for consumers.
"Our position is really all about respect for our consumers and for the money that they have spent to get into the game space in the first place. They spend a fortune on games: on consoles, on hardware, and we're sensitive to that," he said.
"We play those games too. We buy all the same stuff. A world where you need to have three different guitars and two drum sets and all this stuff is...we don't want to support that world."
The new peripherals for the
recently-announced Guitar Hero Live will not work with Rock Band 4, although Sussman hasn't completely ruled it out, saying he "won't know for sure until [they] get one in the office."
