MODERATORS
Yeah, why the fuck don't we have a modern interpretation or a spiritual successor? (Please, no remastering.) I assume the answer is money, but I'm still disappointed.
I think the franchise just lost it's novelty value. There wasn't really anywhere to take it that could expand the experience in a meaningful way. I remember loving the GH games and playing the shit out if them for years, but I also remember them going stale and boring because it was always just more of the same simple game mechanic with a new background track.
The rosy red glasses of nostalgia is making us biased.
Yeah. The game came with a bulky peripheral which locked in a lot of gameplay. It also didn't help that arcades were pretty dead at the time of the Great Recession.
I feel like the genre would have had more legs if it started as an arcade game in the 90's.
I hate how right you are. I guess what I'm really looking for is a way to recreate that magic, but an accessible shot of nostalgia every now and then would do just fine. I guess I'll look into clone hero and see.
Beat Saber and Moonrider kind of filled that niche for me.
Microsoft owns Guitar Hero
Harmonix owns Rock Band. And Epic Games owns Harmonix. Fortnite Festival is (unfortunately) the spiritual successor you mentioned, except you gotta buy every song because of course. (Free players have 5 tracks they get to do for free but if you want a decent library you gotta start buying em from the shop)
Clone Hero is the alternative
Clone hero and custom songs is all you need.
Frets on Fire also exists
Any microphone support for vocals?
I think there is for YARG which is to Rock Band what Clone Hero is to Guitar Hero.
Not natively but there evidently are plugins or other apps that add it.
Nice! Gonna have to check it out, then! Thanks for the tip 🫶
Got you, fam!
Rock Band 4 is on Xbox One, can be played on the Series S/X. I think there’s some kind of controller adapter that’s hard to find these days, though.
15 minute YouTube video trying an explanation:
