Now’s a good opportunity to promote Clone Hero
Does Clone Hero have the characters dancing in the background like on regular Guitar Hero? I’m all about the immersion.
Not out of the box, but you can customise the background.
I haven’t bothered to look into it but I’m sure there are packs you can download with all of the background videos from the games.
It’ll never be quite the same without the master tracks.
For customs? Yeah. But pretty much every master used in the RB or GH games have been ripped and are available for use there too
I’m sad I never got this to fully work with my Td 17
What’s not working? If any amount of midi is being picked up then you may need to remap, otherwise you might need drivers for the usb, or need to use a hardware usb midi box instead of usb
The drum functionality was new when I tried. This was years ago.
And this is why disc games should never go away.
Don’t worry, the games industry has you covered on that now. They just release games that are broken or half-finished without the day 1 patch, but then allowing it to update removes all of the licensed content.
Man, this sucks. I haven’t played any games like this in a while (i legit have my guitar hero mounted on the wall) but it sucks to see something like this going away
I’ve heard good things about YARG (yet another rhythm game). Basically an open source rock band clone on PC.
There’s also Clone Hero
Frets on Fire is the one I knew of back when Guitar hero was at its peak
For about 1 year my two sons and I played Rock Band, mostly The Beatles, everyday when they came home from school. At least an hour each day. We played other versions of Rock Band, but the Beatles was easily our favorite.
It directly led one of them to learn the piano and eventually get a master’s degree in composing, and the other to enjoy playing in bands and performing in musical theatre.
So uh, happy… anniversary… I guess?
This is one of the weird aspects of games that seems to make no sense because of archaic laws that never entered the 20th century, nevermind the 21st. It seems to be about manufacturing new copies of the already made game, not selling them. So it only affects digital sales, I would assume because of their “creation” on a new sale, every physical game copy was already manufactured and out there, nothing changes there.
I have so many good memories of playing Rock Band in college. I just picked this up for PS4 for like $10, but it looks like the instruments are going to cost an arm and a leg…
Just like being in a real rock band!
Too bad PS4 emulation isn’t quite there yet. You can, however, pirate the fuck out of the earlier games, DLC and all. Truly a better way to play, cause that DLC was hella expensive.
And the songs will start to become unavailable to purchase over the next 9 years. I guess it’s a good reminder for me to buy all the songs I want to get.
check this weekly
Thanks! I actually just bought one of the those that are delisting soon a couple nights ago. So that makes me feel better. I’ll have to go through this first list tonight.
i bought a bunch too i was going to buy just from the list then got distracted and bought a shit load of packs 😂
