Are you sitting down? What we have here is the extremely awkward first footage of Activision’s and Neversoft’s Guitar Hero World Tour . Speaking at the All Things Digital 6 conference, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick introduced the game for the first time, bringing out Paula Abdul to clap, and Tony Hawk to play guitar.
This footage brings the official confirmation of a few things. One, Lenny Kravitz’s “Are You Gonna Go My Way?” is indeed a playable song. Two, the gameplay sure does look and vibe a hell of a lot like Rock Band (which is not a bad thing). And three, Paula Abdul can’t go anywhere with out her meds.
Most hilarious is the following exchange between Kotick and interviewer Kara Swisher:
Kotick: We have a new product coming out in the fall called Guitar Hero World Tour , which is the first time you’ll have multiple instruments — drums, mic, bass, a different guitar …
Swisher: It’s called Rock Band , I think.
Kotick (after a slight pause): We’re calling it Guitar Hero World Tour .
Awkward …
