I've spent over a decade pining for the glory days of Guitar Hero and Rock Band to make their triumphant return, and it seems the rock gods have heard my prayers. RedOctane Games – a reconstituted version of one of the OG Guitar Hero studios, with several original devs in tow – has revealed Stage Tour, and it looks like exactly the plastic instrument heaven I've been waiting for, even if some unanswered questions remain.
The reveal trailer makes no bones about the kind of game Stage Tour is. You and up to three friends take on some combination of microphones, drums, and five fret guitars and play along to an array of rock and metal tracks. The official site makes clear you'll also be able to play with gamepad or keyboard controls, but let's be real – it's the plastic instruments that are going to make or break this thing.
