Got them Ozzie Tracks
I miss Guitar Hero.
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.
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.
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.
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 🫶
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.
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.
I would play again but a replacement guitar is so expensive. I guess I could buy used but that feels risky
Go to a physical store near you, they’ll usually let you test in store or swap if it doesn’t work right.
