Guitar Hero 4, Rockband ripoff confirmed? Options

[Crushinator]

Long story short:

• Full band set up like Rock Band, Guitar, Bass, Vocal, Drums
• Character creation/customization inspired by THPS and Tiger Woods.
• Create-a-song mode and "Freestyle" mode where you can play your own tunes to songs already in the game.
• Drum controller has 6 buttons, 3 toms, 2 cymbals, and the bass pedal.
• Activate drum Star Power by hitting both cymbals at once to begin a drum fill.
• No more licensed guitars, but you can make your own custom guitar now.
• Your custom character can freely switch between all 4 instruments
• Full bass career mode
• Nooby "strum only" Rhythm guitar mode for little kids or old people who want to join in the fun but suck.
• You can earn cash playing online (Online career mode confirmed?)
• Van Halen, The Eagles, Linkin Park, and Sublime confirmed on the songlist (and Dream Theater?)
• Going for a wider variety of music, not mainly sticking to metal like the previous GHs.
• Every song is a master track, no covers.

I already read through it, but I just have my doubts on Neversoft/Activision actually delivering what they promise. They had grandiose plans for the DLC on GH 2 and 3 as well.

But lets just wait and see! I mean if they can pull it off and make a game better than RB then I'm all for it.

If GH4 can bring in a random Mexican dude at your door with a case of corona asking if there's a party going on when you're actually home alone... then yes, yes I will get it. The drum kit does look pretty nice though.
