Alright, try to stay with us here. Guitar Hero IIIs's axe works just fine with Rock Band, but only the one for the Xbox 360, and Rock Band's guitar won't play the first note on any flavor of GHIII. Your head spinnin' yet? We're betting
yes, and apparently, the folks over at
1UP were downright tired of being dizzy. Consequently, they phoned up Red Octane's (publisher of Guitar Hero) co-founder and VP of Business Development, Charles Huang, to chat about the totally confusing compatibility quandary. We fully understand the complexities in getting the instruments to work with other games, as well as the potential business impact, but Mr. Huang chose to take a different route when explaining why no Guitar Hero title would accept a Rock Band controller. He was quoted as saying that Red Octane wasn't "too interested in having [Harmonix] guitars work on its game, because [Harmonix is] having a lot of issues with its guitars." Of course, this logic begins to fall apart when you realize there was absolutely no compatibility even
before these
malfunctions came to light. Nice try, though.
