According to the latest issue of Game Informer, the supposed innovation of Guitar Hero 4 is going to be the creation of custom tracks, among many other things. Coming to us courtesy NeoGAF is the news that the game will include three instruments (but no lyrics), drums, bass, and vocals guitar. Not only that, but GH4 is also going to include a form of file sharing allowing you to share up to 5 different songs (more if you’re rated higher) to “GH Tunes” for anyone to download. Included in the download would also be the custom title, creator name, and custom album art. And allowing for even more personalization, the game will also have customizable rockers and instruments.
And that’s not all either, Neversoft has also confirmed that Van Halen, The Eagles, Linkin Park and Sublime will be making appearances, and that the GH4 controller sports some sort of new input device. With so much change coming to the franchise, and so much emphasis on custom content, is it possible that Guitar Hero can survive in the world of Rock Band? [X360F]

Playr, an updated version of GamerTV on Bravo in the UK, recently hosted an episode where a Sony representative played and talked about the highly anticipated shooter, Killzone 2. On the show, the rep spoke about a number of things including AI, weapons and the like.
The one thing that caught our attention was the mention of “45 to 50 minute levels.” With such massive levels could come some truly unforgettable experiences. This, however, begs the question, how many levels will be present in the final game? We personally don’t want five or six hour-long levels in lieu of thirty fifteen minute levels.
While we check our math, you can voice your opinion on the matter in our comment section. Would you rather have fewer, longer levels or shorter, more plentiful levels? [PSU]
