Breaking out the ps3
-
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.

Clone hero and custom songs is all you need.
Any microphone support for vocals?

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 🫶

I would play again but a replacement guitar is so expensive. I guess I could buy used but that feels risky
Yeah, I bought used and the strummer doesn't up strum. Also the wireless is so slow it's impossible to use.

I was road tripping across the country like 15 years ago to move all my stuff. I foolishly left my guitars under the back window in the Nevada summer heat and melted my guitar hero guitars. Sad day. I too miss that game.
I haven't been to a Good Will in quite some time, but when I used to go, Guitar Hero controllers of all types were plentiful and cheap.

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.

Frets on Fire also exists

I think there is for YARG which is to Rock Band what Clone Hero is to Guitar Hero.

Go to a physical store near you, they'll usually let you test in store or swap if it doesn't work right.

Beat Saber and Moonrider kind of filled that niche for me.

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.
