What do you mean? Rock Band is in Fortnite now š„“
ComprehensiveIssue78
Yes! Also still waiting for DDR to come back. Only game that challenges you to do backflip finishers IRL.

Fortnite literally has this dude its exdevs from Harmonix working in it constantly adding new songs.
SlyyKozlov
Nah. Lets Go father back – get DDR dance pads back into everyone’s home.

I am still learning eguitar with Rocksmith+. I love it

Beat saber and Clone hero.
Kazurion
I die a little on the inside every time someone mentions it’s in Fortnite.

There’s an amazing game called clone hero that keeps this genre alive, the issue is that controllers are super expensive and no one really makes them anymore.

only if they make 1 game, and continue updating it for decades. the main reason why they declined so hard is the same reason why sports games did.

Rockband was easily a pinnacle point of ācouch multiplayerā games ā before every game built their online servers around solo experiences, Rockband/Guitar Hero were games that had you looking forward to going to a friends house to take turns: one person you could trust on drums, one person you can trust on guitar, and one person you can trust to hit the high notes
Iām sure thereās some AFV footage of a kid screaming 30 Seconds to Mars somewhere

Party games in general. Get people around the TV, make a band, make some teams, and have fun.
Imo it’s why Mario party, kart, smash, Wii sports, guitar hero work so well

These are still pretty popular. We cant keep any in stock at our local store and we havent seen drums in a couple years.
darkhorseMBA
My understanding is that these games were discontinued over licensing fee issues and record labels.
Alucard0_0420
Seconded

Bring back couch co op games period. Seems Nintendo is the only one still making them

You can go buy the kit on Amazon for $500+
PhunkyPhazon
Agreed. We at least have Clone Hero but I would love to see a new, proper Guiat Hero/Rock Band.
JohnnyYouTaTas
Agreed. It made me feel like being in high school again when we all gathered to play Goldeneye multi-player on weekend nights.

It moved to VR with Beat Saber.
Cryptoking300
Naw the genre of THPS, SSX, and Jetmoto needs to come back.
NamelessMIA
Buy a controller from amazon and download Clone Hero. It’s guitar hero but with a level creator so people can make any song they want. There’s a downloader so you can look up songs too like the limewire days
mdubs17
It already did come back, and it wasn’t successful.
duck1014
Music licenses and label greed ruined the games…well that and over saturation.
forestapee
Plenty of rhythm games out there right now too. Granted not with fun instrumentsĀ
Some vr rhythm games hit the spot for that though
doug_kaplan
I wish these games existed also, but Gibson has made the CRKD controller which is up for pre-order it appears and there is Clone Hero but I would love a proper console or PC Rock Band or Guitar Hero!
It’s damn near impossible to find an older Rock Band or Guitar Hero controller without paying an insane amount for it sadly.
venom121212
I think this generation played beat saber instead.
x_scion_x
I did *not* expect to enjoy that game as much as I did.
Especially w/a group of friends.

My girlfriendās dad still has Rock Band 4 and so many songs to play with. He actually went out and bought a really nice Roland Ekit to plays drums on with Rock Band hooked up to it. Itās so much fun. I think he also has the keytar, Paulās bass, Johnās guitar, and so many other plastic guitars. Man now I wanna go over there this weekend get drunk with him and rock out lol
NorseOfCourse
With this controller coming out, I suspect at least one new game.
It already tried a decade ago and nobody cared enough to buy it.

This generation isnāt consuming enough rock music to make this viable.
jess_the_werefox
Iāve been this š¤close to buying guitar hero 3 with guitar controllers but everything always looks so dirty or covered in stickers š
randypeaches
Rock band 4 was a mess. Had customization level between rock band 1 and 2. The game also stutters real bad multiple times per game. I was hoping for a mich better experience than rock band 3 but they dropped the ball hard
chiefofwar117
I will randomly hum Rockband songs on my way to work every now and then. And I havenāt heard some of these songs since I drummed to them lol

Thereās a reason these games fell out of popularity
