Guitar Hero Live update voegt Rivals Arena toe, bestraft rage quitters

Gisteren is FreeStyle Games begonnen met het uitrollen van een nieuwe update voor Guitar hero Live. Deze update is er nu normaal al voor PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One en Wii U, terwijl de iOS-versie volgende week ergens komt.

De update voegt Rivals Arena toe, evenals maandelijkse seizoenen, een scherm waar je liedjes volgens categorie kan bekijken, stabiliteitsverbeteringen en meer. Ook worden rage quitters voortaan bestraft.

Hieronder een overzicht van wat de update precies brengt. FreeStyle Games is trouwens op de hoogte van een probleem op PS4 waarbij de game kan crashen wanneer je friends list te groot is. De ontwikkelaar bekijkt het probleem en hoopt snel met een oplossing te kunnen komen.

Rivals Arena

• At Level 15, the Arena doors open for business
• Two new Rival Challenge channels will launch
• Monthly seasons will pit players against others as they rise up the Divisions to glory from Division 20 to Division 1
• Win battles to move up Divisions and earn tokens
• Bonus tokens will be awarded to those with winning streaks and to those playing consecutive matches
• Rage quitting is punishable by death…. Or loss of tokens. Ragers will also get play against other ragers leading to a weird rage off thanks to new matchmaking tech
• New seasons will use previous season data and status to determine starting Divisions and give returning players a head start
• Season exclusive rewards can be won if players reach Division 15 and higher. This includes: exclusive player cards at Division 15, exclusive highways at Division 10 and a legendary-looking version of the player card for those reaching Division 1
