One of the most interesting features in the coming Rock Band 4 is freestyle for guitar players, which will give them a chance to express themselves without having to constantly focus on getting as many points as possible.

A new trailer for the game shows how the new mechanic will work, using the track Violent Shiver from Benjamin Booker.

Rock Band 4 will allow gamers to use all their old instruments, and the development team is also giving players a way to import all the tracks they have bought as downloadable content for previous versions of the music series.

There are gameplay innovations for all the instruments included in the game, all of them designed to encourage gamers to collaborate more on each song.

Vocalists will also be able to improvise to some degree as long as they stay in tune.

Harmonix is also adding a new career mode, which has a lot of role-playing elements and tracks the way a band evolves over time, giving gamers a choice between staying true to their roots or selling out for more exposure.

Rock Band 4 is arriving on October 6 for the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One, and Mad Catz will offer new instruments on the same date.
