"We've known about Activision's ambitious mobile plans for Guitar Hero Live since the game was announced. One additional feature was explained to Game Informer today as we discussed the recently announced vocal feature.

If you already have a USB microphone, you're set. Plug it in and you're ready to wail. If you don't, you could hold off on purchasing one. Freestyle games studio head (and Guitar Hero Live creative director) Jamie Jackson told us that the companion app has a neat additional feature. You can turn it into a bluetooth-connected microphone. 

The specifics (as well as more features for the app) will be revealed in the coming weeks. But given the prevalence of smartphones, this could save you some bank when Guitar Hero Live releases on October 20 for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Wii U, and mobile platforms.

You can read more about Guitar Hero (which just hit 100 announced songs), in our coverage from this week.

"The press release from Gamescom just came in with some new information for Guitar Hero Live!" - Game Informer

Guitar Hero fans will need to warm-up their vocal chords.  At Gamescom, Guitar Hero Live is confirming singing mode for local co-operative play, bringing the party back to the living room like never before.  Singing alongside the core guitar-based gameplay has always been something that defined the Guitar Hero party experience, and the inclusion of vocals in the game delivers another way for players to have fun together in Guitar Hero Live.  By plugging in any USB mic, aspiring rock stars will be able to sing to tracks in GHTV and in Quickplay in GH Live, complete with a lyrics highway and note track along the top of the screen. 

Across both game modes, Guitar Hero Live will give players access to more tracks than ever before in a previous Guitar Hero title.  Joining the line-up of songs announced thus far, bringing the total to 100, are the following:

Megadeth – Hangar 18
In Flames – Deliver Us
Boston – More Than a Feeling
You Me At Six – Lived a Lie
Blink-182 – The Rock Show
Rush – Limelight
Kasabian – Club Foot
Dream Theater – The Looking Glass
Royal Blood – Come on Over
Charli XCX – Famous
Passion Pit – Take a Walk
Panic! At the Disco – Girls/Girls/Boys
James Bay – Hold Back The River
Echosmith – Cool Kids
MGMT – Time to Pretend
Kings of Leon – Sex on Fire
Songs in bold were not previously known till today

 
Of course, once again there’s some GHTV confirmed songs mixed in so we still don’t know what is in GH Live and what is in GHTV…

Also at Gamescom, Guitar Hero Live is unveiling Rock the Block, the second music festival in GH Live. GH Live is the first person, live-action mode that puts you on stage as the lead guitarist.  Rock the Block is set in the US and takes place in the heart of an imagined city landscape in the game. With its origins in a number of smaller festivals that used to take place in and around Boulder City, Rock the Block is a spontaneously evolving event that encourages attendees and passers-by to be drawn into the festival experience.  Rock the Block joins SoundDial, the previously announced UK-based festival, as the two fictional settings a player will visit in Guitar Hero Live. Within the two festivals fans will play a variety of stages, ranging from small club stages, to headlining massive, open air mainstages. 

That seems to be all the information so far via Gamescom. Are those tracks changing your mind about this new edition of Guitar Hero? Let us know!" - The Hero Feed
