On Sunday, WorthPlaying posted a nicely in-depth interview with Brian Bright, project director for Guitar Hero 5. The interview gets beyond the traditional “what’s new and why” format and looks a little deeper at the process behind making a Guitar Hero game.

It includes this interesting bit about why Neversoft decided to allow up to four of the same instruments to play at the same time:

[W]e found that guys don’t always want to sing unless they’re really drunk or it’s a song that they really, really like, but girls usually will get on the mic. Girls usually won’t play the drums, only some guys who know how to play the drums normally will play the drums because it can be embarrassing. But everyone will step up and play the guitar.
