Red Octane reveals more Guitar Hero info

The Guitar Hero series has received high critical acclaim since the debut of the series on the PlayStation 2. Since the release of the original, Red Octane has continued to expand the series, releasing Guitar Hero 2 and additional songs by allowing 360 users to download them through a micro transaction system.

With Guitar Hero III set to debut in the near future, Eurogamer.net sat down with the Red Octane to ask them about the series and its future. The most interesting aspect of the interview was when Kai Huang, president of Red Octane, told his interviewer:

"I think Sony's SingStar model is a great model and a great thing to model ourselves after. What we're going to be doing with Guitar Hero is a combination of both. There will be a lot of people who have an online connection who will be able to download new music, so we want to obviously offer them an opportunity to download more music than you can get in the game. But then there will be consumers who don't have online connections and we want to make sure they have a great experience as well. So I think we're going to follow definitely a model of both. We're going to be releasing more disc-based games throughout the year, and then we're going to be offering more online content."

Fans who are hopelessly addicted to Guitar Hero should certainly be pleased to hear this news. The game has been growing by leaps and bounds, so by releasing fresh content on a regular basis, Red Octane should be able to keep fans of the game playing longer and harder.
