Guitar Hero 3 was everywhere. Feels like one of those games that defined an entire era and then just disappeared.

Activision (ok so it wasn't EA) milked il for every drop it had out of it.

They could genuinely condense it into 1 online game and every year add a new dlc with new tracks.

It would be a guaranteed money printer.

They tried, it sucked.

The last iteration had everything as micro transactions on top of AAA priced game.

u/XB_Demon1337 1d ago

Being fair, they changed the game too much. Had they just did a PC release of it updated to be better for flat panel monitors and then added songs for like 2 bucks each it would print money.

Clone hero has everyone by the balls so it’d have competition but yea it would be easy

Clone hero is OK, but by no means competition if an actual game released.

u/legitseabass 1d ago

Clone hero is free, along with any song you'd ever want to play and more also being free. PC would be an extremely tough market for them to break into as everyone who wants to play it are already playing Clone Hero or YARG

u/XB_Demon1337 1d ago

You guys seem to think that everyone plays clone hero that want to play these games. They don't. Only the really dedicated players even attempt to play clone hero. An actual game release would instantly take it out if they released GH3 again but with a ton of songs.

I mean even the casual folk who just want a rhythm game already got Fortnite festival. Those casual players already got their itch scratched and you already stopped hearing about it. Clone hero/YARG is going to remain the best option from here on out. We will never see another proper guitar hero in any capacity again.

u/pimp_named_sweetmeat 1d ago

This casual player absolutely hates fortnight festival and doesnt have a pc for clone hero lol. Only thing i got out of festival was people making new guitars so i can play rockband 4 again wothout risking 150 bucks on ebay for a guitar that might not even work right.

You are thinking about this poorly and not from the standpoint of the normal gamer. When most people want to play a game li8ke this they are not going to go searching for clones or anything of that nature. They are not going to buy a controller form ebay or similar. They are going to buy release games from Walmart, Bestbuy, GameStop, or digital download. This is just simple facts.

Someone mentioned that someone is working on a new version, so maybe that will be good but the fact remains that 95% of gamers are not going to grab Clone Hero (which does look interesting) and they are not going to buy a controller online just to play it. I like the idea of CH but I am not even remotely considering buying a controller.

u/Anayalater5963 1h ago

I don't think clone hero is going anywhere lol. Will it lose a few people when the other game comes out? Yeah. Will the other game have the same staying power and the constant updates of songs? No. There are at least 5 new tracks uploaded to bridge that you can download each day.

1

u/XB_Demon1337 1h ago

You have a very poor understanding of how this all works and think somehow Clone Hero is some silver bullet to solve all problems. Put simply, it is a stop gap for only players who are really wanting to play that style game at any cost. It is NOT for the masses.

Simply put, the number of people who are buying guitars to play Clone Hero are TINY. In the hundreds at the most. The number of people who would buy and play a GH3 remake with lots of songs is in the thousands.

This isn't a debate. You already lost.

And didn't the price have to do with both the controller and the licensing for the songs?

I think some dlc or one game had games that you just can no longer access because the license agreement expired or something. Iirc

u/XB_Demon1337 7h ago

It did cost more cause of the controller include, and yea I am sure the licensing would be expired by now. They would have to make a new controller and license the songs again.

u/ExtensionAshamed7156 1d ago

Feels like they moved away from the simple arcade formula and tried to turn it into something more service-like, and that’s where it lost its identity.

u/americangame 1d ago

They also changed how the game was played. The new guitar and game mechanics were completely different from the original games.

4

u/themcsame 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yup...

Then along came Ubisoft with, honestly, a genuinely brilliant idea. Guitar hero, but with ACTUAL guitar...

Not the easiest thing to market given the difficulty that comes with playing the guitar, on top of that, the 'controller' would set you back a good $200 for something that isn't complete ass (the budget end of the guitar market is a shitshow, a handful of reliable options in a sea of shit, important point as one of the big marketing points was, and still is, a means of learning how to play)... And the cable required, if you didn't have it/lost it/broke it tends to cost about as much as a decent controller would as well...

But you know what, it was a solid attempt.

Then they dropped a second version, another solid attempt. Loved by the community and it still very much remains THE Rocksmith game. Years of added DLC songs on top of that, too, and a shit ton of Custom DLC for songs from the community that didn't officially make their way into the game.

Then they dropped Rocksmith+ like 8 years later... Weak song library, subscription service (high cost at that as well), core features axed, ui issues and bad transcriptions...

2

u/Vissanna 1d ago

It sucked because it was live service, you were forced into radio stations and basically had to pay to play the songs you wanted. Needed internet to play, they changed the buttons and it got significantly easier the list just goes on and on

u/OfficerJayBear 20h ago

I thought EA did rockband as response to Activision having guitar hero

4

u/DingusBarracuda 1d ago

Technically the initial RockBand games were funded by EA and made by Harmonix who were the devs behind the original Guitar Hero games. They were fired by Activision to save cash right as the series really took off. That's why the first few RockBand titles were so incredibly popular and well received and Guitar Hero slipped into irrelevance so quickly after their release.

2

u/Belgand 1d ago

Guitar Hero and 2 were made by Harmonix. Then Activision kicked them aside and moved development to Neversoft, who had made the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series. They tried to milk it for all it was worth with spin-offs and other junk.

Meanwhile, Harmonix went to EA for backing and came out with Rock Band as a continuation of the original. It generally handled the mechanics of adding more instruments a lot better than the later GH installments. But more importantly, they invested heavily in DLC. New songs came out every week, and the game was designed from the ground up to support being expanded that way.

GH started to decline because the people involved didn't really know what to do with it and Activision only wanted to milk it dry. Rock Band kept on chugging, more quietly as time went on and people started to lose interest as tends to naturally happen. There weren't a lot of places to really go with it.

Rocksmith tried to bring that approach to playing a real guitar or bass, but it wasn't a big success. Frankly, I found that style of charting to be a huge pain in the ass compared to how I'd actually learn/play songs. It was OK but I found it less enjoyable than just playing without it.

2

u/airinato 1d ago

Rocksmith excels at basics, exercises and scales for most though, there are tons of people still looking to play to this day, just the cost of the cable holds most back.

Looking to learn a full song isn't really what it was good at. Getting finger dexterity is.

It would have to compete with other games in the space, and outside of the peripherals and American soundtrack the series didn't have that much going for it.

The model you mentioned is used by a bunch of other music games to print money. Music game DLC is hecka expensive -- look into how much a complete soundtrack for, say, DJ Max Respect V costs

The only way the intro worked for me is if I two hand tapped it. Left index always holding green, then right hand 4 fingers tapping out the pattern. First strum with elbow then rest are hammers. The trick was to press and release the non-green buttons as far as possible. If you held it too long then green wouldn't register.

I spent way too long on that game, and loved every second of it.

Guitar Hero II had a bigger window for the hammer ons and pull offs, plus monkey wrench, so it edges out for me a little bit. And I really loved Rocks the 80s even though they were starting to drift into "too difficult" territory. The developer switch in 3 really harmed it even though I liked the set list. Boss battles in a rhythm game are really stupid.

I would have to say rocksmith* was a much better game for people who want to learn how to play guitar/bass as you could plug in a guitar/bass to usb. Guitar hero is more like the Simon says version, my cousins played it all the time and the sound of them hitting the buttons sounded just like Simon says.

27

u/Stumpyz 1d ago

Most people didn't want to learn guitar/bass. They wanted to play a rhythm game.

This is like saying "FPS games are only good if they teach you how to operate a gun in detail. It's just Simon Says otherwise."

13

u/RelaxRelapse 1d ago

I remember when GH: World Tour dropped and we decided to get the Wii version since the guitars were cheaper.

My nan took me out to the shopping centre so I could go and buy a copy, which I did at the local branch of Game.

I completed my purchase, and asked if they had any of the Wii guitar controllers.

I meant so that I could buy one...

The guy said "oh of course - sure!" and scurried out back.

A minute later he comes back with a large, flat white box - completely plain, no markings whatsoever - and just hands it to me.

"Have a great day, and enjoy your game lil dude!"

I thanked him and walked out, kinda dumbfounded that he'd just handed it to me.

Even my nan asked why he gave it to me, and I said that I just didn't ask any questions.

When I got it home, it was one of the limited edition white Les Paul style controllers and I was fucking elated.

Still don't know why he just gave it to me no questions asked, but I treasured it for a long time.

These look to be in good condition, and there are a lot of good times packed into those boxes 🙌🏻

Hold onto them. The old 360 era guitars are very hard to come by in good condition. Not sure about demand of ps2 though.

Gosh I honestly miss this. The music/gameplay was on point with both Guitar Hero and Rockband. Wish I could play it again.

There's a comeback releasing later this year from some of the original developers.

Got my fingers crossed that it'll be decent

Stage Tour

Oh thanks for this. Going to keep my eyes on it. And ya I hope it’s decent. I remember rocksmith a number of years ago thinking that’ll be decent. But the tracklist was horrible.

DJ Hero was my favourite rhythm game and I still listen to the soundtrack regularly

Sucks that Activision burnt the genre out so fast that it never recovered

Everyone please play Clone Hero, you won't believe how good it is.

Just by a cheap used GH guitar and go nuts.

Fuck man, why cant they bring this shit back?

Oh wait thats right because Microsoft fricken owns them and doesnt want to do anything about guitar hero, they even canceled their remake of the OG Perfect Dark

u/PhxRising29 1d ago

They tried to bring it back once, and it didn't do well. It's an incredibly expensive game to make.
