What happened to Guitar Hero ? What's the chance it'll be popular again?

they ran out of bemani games to rip off

>>718471038 (OP)
It was a neat concept but it had its 15 minutes of fame. Leave it in the arcade where it belongs.

Although they could just port 1, 2, 3, and World Tour to modern consoles and probably make a decent profit

>Pajeets coding low latency audio using UE5 or unity
nah

0, they pushed too hard with too many shit games that they wound up killing the whole peripheral market, not just the rhythm game one.

>>718471280
>Although they could just port 1, 2, 3, and World Tour
yeah just port them without 95% of the music

>>718471537
I forgot about licensing issues desu

>>718471363
Indian here, why do you hate us so much? Is it because we're having more kids than you?

>>718471038 (OP)
last week i discorvered fucking fortnite has a guiter hero mode that you play with those guiters just like in the old times

I could talk about this shit with you, OP. Do you have any other questions?

>>718471615
everyone does when they assert GH needs remakes.
i am fine with clone hero and my nigh ancient wii guitar

>What happened to Guitar Hero ? What's the chance it'll be popular again?
Oversaturation. If you think games with yearly releases like Call of Duty are bad, check out pic-related. They ran the series into the ground. And that's not even taking into account Rock Band that ran separate and got 10 releases in the span of 3 years, plus a fuck ton of DLC.

Also the big toy guitars were clogging up people's homes and made the entry into the series more difficult. It's not a normal game you can just pick up on steam.

Plus kids aren't into dead rock much anymore they listen to stuff like mumble rap and Taylor Swift.

>>718471775
that's a big factor, yes, in the same way mice having litters is a factor in their categorization as an unwanted pest.

>>718471038 (OP)
Guitar Hero is trapped in Fortnite hell.
Red Octane is working in a new rhythm game, but I doubt it will be anything like Guitar Hero.

Rock and Roll is dead, buddy.

>>718471937
it suffers from shit netcode just like the racing shit. fortnite is a casual shooter for a reason

>>718472131
>Red Octane is working in a new rhythm game, but I doubt it will be anything like Guitar Hero.
Yes it will

>>718472048
they were also shitting out stuff like band hero and DJ Hero

>>718471775
>Is it because we're having more kids than you?
Indias birth rate has plummeted. Half the states(mostly in the south and east) have less than replacement while the north and western states are barely above.

>>718472275
Still not enough. Gotta nuke at least 95% of the country before I'm satisfied. Take Africa, the middle east, and parts of central and south america too.

>>718472131

>>718471775
Yeah, the large population is the biggest reason people hate/feel threatened by India. There are too many of you in our countries.

>>718472048
OP here, it's a shame Activision killed the franchise with a billion different games in such short time, but there isn't any noticeable amount of fans that could ask for a new game ? Even if using musics from more "obscure and cheap" bands ? Maybe they could make a "Guitar Hero Underground" or something

>>718472018
>nigh ancient
nigger what-
>guitar hero is a 2005 rhythm game
what the FUCK

>>718472048
>Plus kids aren't into dead rock much anymore they listen to stuff like mumble rap and Taylor Swift.
Eh times have most definitely changed. Mumble rap died when covid hit. I'm in the underground scene a lot and have noticed a lot more rock bands popping up now than I did 10 years ago. It's making a come back somewhat. Grungegaze is popular right now but it's at risk of being oversaturated in no time considering every grungegaze band re-uses the same 3 riffs in their songs. Post Hardcore is also making a comeback.

>>718472398
>Still not enough
Well of course, they're still gonna be a giant locust swarm of shit thanks to sheer numbers but the assertation that they alone are having children is hilarious. At this point the only countries safely above replacement is probably sub saharan africa

>>718472048
they could have avoided the over saturation had they just released these as downloadable DLCs. I get that it wasn’t commonplace just yet for that type of thing but still

>>718471775
If you shitheads could stay quiet on your country instead of contaminating every place in the world, there would be less complaints.

Same shit for muslims

>>718472636
yeah i know. and that snowballs into "it's been 2 decades since you were 14" and the dread sets in

>>718471038 (OP)
it was completely reliant on dadrock nostalgia and virtuosic guitar music has fallen out of popularity for close to 20 years now.
>What's the chance it'll be popular again?
i mean look at what happened to rocksmith.

gitadora still exists and is arguably a better game mechanically.

I play Guitar Hero every day. You could too, you just don't.

I was into nerd music so i never listened to these big name bands before. Later i found out they were covers. To me the covers are how I remember the songs in my head

Also I found my old guitar and hooked it up, played a song or two and saw my aged self in the mirrior with the tiny plastic guitar and felt disgust and turned it off

I still remember when Guitar Hero: Metallica got Death Magnetic as a DLC and people freaked out because the game's versions of the songs are better produced than the real release
bravo Rick Rubin

>>718472903
>I looked in the mirror and I was disgusted.
Try lifting, faggot.

>>718472704
a lot of the GH games had improvements or added gimmicks. the first game is really finicky to go back to

>>718471038 (OP)
electric guitar has once again fallen off, acoustic is fucking back baby!

>>718472996
True but I mean shit like GH Green Day or GH Aerosmith definitely did not need to be standalone games and could have been sold as expansion packs

>>718472398
Hey I'm living without disturbing anyone here in Brazil, if you want to nuke somewhere here, nuke the northeast area, the people from there are the ones that travel to Europe and north America and shit all over the place (and the internet) making stuff harder for the people in the south and southeast.

>>718472749
schlomo "dan" goldstein from new york tells them that him and all the other white americans desperately desire immigration

>>718473087
GH was Rock Band. I think they were kino. Having band specific campaigns with changing models as their careers go on is just awesome if you're a fan of them. Their songs were DLC for titles anyway.

>>718473093
You and I both know you're lying. Why lie?

>>718472961
haha i remember tweaking the volume of the vocals and different instruments and thinking "damm i can polish up metallica's music better than they can"

>>718472683
>i heard you and your band sold your guitars and bought turntables
>i heard you and your band sold your turntables and bought guitars

>>718473087
those were basically standalone DLC, not everyone had the ability to digitally buy and download songs. shit, GH3 on the wii flat out skipped DLC IIRC despite the UI having space for it still

>>718472704
The worst part of all those games is that they all came with their own controller bundles.

>>718473681
I bought a GH controller and it works on everything and all consoles except the Pajeet console (Xbox)

>>718472996
I think a problem might also be that there's a barrier to the gameplay itself. I usually play harder difficulties but Guitar Hero is like a completely different skillset. I remember playing on the lower difficulties and having to build up to Expert. That extra orange button at the end that makes it more buttons than fingers can be tricky at first.

Then there's certain song like pic-related where I feel like my fingers can't physically move fast enough even if my mind can.

redoctane is actually coming back. you guys didn't know? this thread isn't actually guitar hero players and just nostalgia shitters? wow

But I'm not lying you idiot, do have your head up your ass ? Understand that some people want to fix their place instead of running somewhere in the world bringing their customs to someone's else country without their consent

>>718473746
That's not my point.

>>718473858
I love playing video games

Just how does one track down a controller for Gitarr Hero in current year? The usual suspect, amazon and ebay doesnt really fill me with confidence.

>>718473941
You've got 2 options. Buy a 2nd hand Wii controller, or buy the new controllers.

>>718471038 (OP)
they had a bit of a revival with clone hero/yarg but ultimately they are going to be niche even within the rhythm game community due to how the mechanics work

>>718473941
I see them in thrift stores from time to time

>>718473941
ebay has a return policy so buy a very good condition one and if it doesnt work, return in. you just lose time getting it back and getting refund.

>>718474215
Red Octane just hired the entire YARG team, so I'm assuming it's gonna be YARG2 essentially.

>>718471038 (OP)
Activision oversaturated it, Bobby kotick probably added to it. Lastly, boomers couldn't let go of the fact that it was an arcade game and that it was shameful to play it instead of learning to play a guitar, which was really gay and retarded.

>>718471038 (OP)
Over saturation. To much money spent on peripherals when everyone had a guitar controller by the 3rd game yet they kept pumping new ones out. Instead of just doing expansion pack dlc they just pumped out more games.

>>718474295
This option I kinda like.

>>718474576
>boomers couldn't let go of the fact that it was an arcade game and that it was shameful to play it instead of learning to play a guitar, which was really gay and retarded.
this shit was so annoying

>>718474576
that reminds me i have seen a guiitar hero arcade once or twice

>>718471229
Guitar Hero and DJ Hero mog Guitar Freaks and Beatmania. It’s just a shame their music selection is generally worse.

>>718473941
If you don't trust used controllers, your only option are the new ones, they are expensive but they'll work no questions asked.

Or try and source one locally, lots of people bought these and used once and stashed them.

>>718471038 (OP)
Like most things it started cool and niche like a fun party game but asspies destroyed it by constantly chasing the difficulty curve and it went from fun to some asspie trying his hardest to show off and everyone lost interest

Moved on to funner rhythm games

>>718475197
They've always had easy and difficult songs.

boomers genuinely couldn’t wrap their heads around kids wanting to play an arcade game with their friends instead of learning real guitar. I always told my dad it was the same as watching a sports game on tv instead of playing the actual sport and that just made him mad for some reason

>>718476574
boomers hate when you use their logic against them
its honestly hilarious

>>718476574
I think the most egregious case of this I’ve ever heard was when I was listening to the podcast from the workaholics guys and one of them was going on about how into animal crossing he got and all about his island and the other was like “you can just do that in real life you know!”

>>718476359

visited japan after not playing any rhythm games for years and it revitalized my love for smacking things to music

>>718477524
i had to have someone on gameFAQs insist that there was no other way, i wish i had just come to that conclusion myself.

thankfully he was talking to someone else who was whining and it wasn't my bitchy thread, but i mean it may as well have been

>>718477778
>>reflexive unproductive rage begins
many such cases as they seethe in an 850k home they purchased in 2001 for 249k

>>718477959
I don't even remember how I came to that conclusion, but I booted up the game right then and played through GH3 on hard right then.

Always amazes me how casual people here are when it comes to rhythm games.

>>718478686
are you literally me? My mother and father in law both live in a 4bed3bath house with a huge fucking pool they don’t use. Just them and they don’t even go upstairs or in the basement. They straight up do not leave the living room, I’m convinced they even sleep in it, yet their daughter (my wife) and 2 grandchildren live in a tiny shithole we were lucky to buy in 2015 before things got out of control and they don’t see anything wrong

next you'll tell me you also live in saskatchewan

>>718479534

the final fuck you before they die was to not only sell all of their possessions but to replace the jobs they refused to retire from with third worlders

It's really only my autistic opinion
But I didnt like how the buttons most of the time were not even for the guitar part of a song
The Best example for this is TTFaF
Most of the notes there are for the drum beats

Do teens these days even hang out together and play games?
Me and my buddies would play GH almost every weekend for years.

>>718480013
yeah by GH3 they were reaching with songs and you were playing all manner of instrument, despite it calling you "lead guitar"

>>718480646
the games they play can only be played online together. i have a younger friend that was baffled by my insistence that i bring my PS4 to his place so we can play bloodborne online but still hang out

>>718480290
i cant stand touch screen games because of the delay but wacca was alright
i wouldve liked to see it evolve more

>>718480646
When I was a teen in 2013-2017, I usually would hang out with some friends to play some games, but eventually it started to become embarrassing to stay there playing and eventually we stopped, then we would only hang out to watch movies or go to a party, of course we played online stuff together but never on the same house.

Eventually I stopped contact with all my friends, in the recent years I was the only one inviting people to watch movies and stuff (usually they accept the offer pretty quick), and unless I started contact, no one would talk to me, guess I'm a piece of shit huh

>>718481367

"You're too old to be playing videogames"

We kept hearing that shit a lot when we reached 17 years old, and it only got worse. So it's embarrassing to play games while everyone around is watching throwing shit comments at you.

>>718481367
your friends probably have discord communities that are ever-present without ever expecting anything. it's replaced friendship.

>>718481873
that's when you take a look at what they spend their free time on and notice all of them are wasting time watching tv, scrolling social media, etc.
they were watching because what you were doing was interesting. they were throwing shit at you because they are jealous of your ability to stay focused on a dynamic, active form of entertainment.

I haven't looked into rhythm games in a long time now but the few I played never scratched the same itch guitar hero did.
Most games overchart to ridiculous levels or they chart shit like the percussion in the background to have a shitton of notes going on instead of the main instrument.
>captcha gh4td

>>718481723
The games I play are good according to the metrics that exist inside my head, but the blame of the board being shit is because you idiots like to make threads talking about useless twitter posts and whenever a woman is too much feminine or masculine, complain to these guys first

>>718479140
why do they let you miss a few notes before you're forced to lose? Kinda like it's not intended for you to hit every single note 100% and only serves as bragging rights and nothing more

>>718482419
You lose if you miss too much in a row no ?

>>718482419
it's more than just hitting 100%. its also about hitting as close to the timing as possible. 100% isn't even an achievement.
