It has been reported that the Guitar Hero 4 will have several new features, features such as Create-A-Song, Album creation for online sharing, and a Create-A-Character option. Also there are four new confirmed bands that will have involvement in GH4: Van Halen, The Eagles, Linkin Park and Sublime.

It has also been mentioned the new Guitar Hero 4 guitar designed by Red Octane includes a new input mechanic that will change the way players will play. The music-rhythm game will appear on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 and Wii probably by the end of the year.

Here is a list of the new features for Guitar Hero 4.

• Create a song. Although these exclude vocals due to storage and possible copyright issues.
• You’ll be able to name your song as well as creating album art. After you’ve done all that you can upload it to GH Tunes where anyone can download it.
• You’ll be limited to 5 songs at first. But depending on the ratings you get you’ll possibly be able to upload 10 or more.
• The song sharing mode will be in the Wii and PS2 versions also, but GI says it’s unlikely that it’ll be as robust as the PS3 and 360 versions.
• Drums, bass, vocals, guitar are the supported instruments.
• Create a rocker.
• Create a guitar and drums.
• All songs will be master tracks.
• They don’t want to discuss specifics on track listing out of fear of being scooped by the competition. However they confirmed four bands: Van Halen, The Eagles, Linkin Park and Sublime.
• A new guitar designed by Red Octane that includes a new input mechanic that’ll “impact the way you play Guitar Hero in the future”.
• The magazine saw through notes while playing, Neversoft said that was the new input mechanic and that they were trying to patent.
