    Doing that is still 100 times better than playing Fortnite. 🧠🎸🔥

    Edit: I didn’t even realized that they were playing Rockband, now that’s a 1.000.000 times better than playing Fortnite.🧠🧠🎮🎸🔥

      for commercial releases? absolutely deader than Cobain.

      Clone Hero is super active, has people actively mapping new songs and is the only path forward at this point

      It doesn’t even need to be dead, those fucking ghouls in suits oversaturated the market immediately because they have no concept of long term planning. If they had the wherewithall to have slowed down releases to every few years instead of every few months, this would probably still be one of the most actively played genres.

        Basically this. If they had slowed down releases, even added new songs as updates or micro DLC packs in between, I think they’d have had something that would’ve worked for years. It was incredibly popular because the variety of play was big and the controls for each position were pretty basic enough to the point that anyone could pick up any position and play.

        However, everyone had to have their own version inside of a year. DJ hero, American Idol games, every major band of the last 50 years got their own branded version of Rock Band, etc. It burnt the market out like the Great Awakening.

      Rocksmith is kind of a follow-up. Except you use real guitars, and you can only have two of them. Choose between lead, rhythm, and bass.

      Try to find Rocksmith Remastered, though, and not the new subscription-based Rocksmith+.
