I’ve been dying to relive those younger days with the drum peripheral but it’s damn hard to find nowadays. I wish I could find something for my Series X to play with my preschooler. She’d get a kick out of it.

Clonehero is pretty good. People sell auduino guitars that work better than the old controllers. I converted my old guitar hero guitars into an auduino guitar.

Shyfer,

What about the drums and mic?

ReeferPirate,

Drum support was weeks away last I played a couple years ago. I haven’t been keeping up with development but I imagine they’re supported by now

MrDrProfJimmy,

Drums are implemented but unfortunately no vocals. Still pretty fun but not the classic experience

quams69,

Worth noting you can mute the vocal track and kareoke over the songs

YARG is still in development but has vocal support. I've been putting off trying it out since Clone Hero works for me, but I've been keeping an eye on it's development.

clearedtoland,

Just to add that I took a look on CL and eBay, and the prices ranged from $350 to $900. That’s nuts!

CaptDust,

I chucked my perfectly working drums years ago because my PS3 died and couldn’t play any more. Kicking myself hard rn

clearedtoland,

I chucked an old hard drive with something like 20 bitcoin on it from my college days without ever giving it a second thought. I think it was like $5 each then. Imagine my surprise when BTC hit $20k.

Me too man. I had two GH kits and a RB one. Never used them, they gathered dust, then eventually they went in the bin.
They were just so bloody bulky.

I did manage to keep two GHWT guitars and the microphone, thankfully.

bitwaba,

Clone Hero can run on any PC. And it works with any USB MIDI drum kit. You can find used cheap ones as low as $100 or buy a new professional E-kit for $2000. If you really want to learn to play the drums (instead of just dragging it out to play video games), the Alesis Nitro is a really great quality kit in the $300-400 range.

Good to know!

Cautiously optimistic that this will be good. I appreciate they are at least trying to make combat seem more in-depth than just hacking away at enemy's with a sword. Hopefully the game lives up to that promise. It's a shame we're not getting a proper third Pillars game, but at least we're getting something else set in the that world.

I will be pleasantly surprised if it’s good. It’s not really the genre I want. I want a proper pillars 3!

I like how their example of “moral nuance and gray areas” is just a binary choice lmao. Baldur’s Gate 3 has really ruined how I view this whole genre. I don’t know if it’s sadder for me, or companies that clearly weren’t/aren’t willing or prepared to swing at that level of nuance.

I have been checking for updates on this since I first heard of it on the loading screen of PoE2. If it’s anything like the pillars games I am gonna be real happy

ominouslemon, do games w Obsidian's Avowed releases this autumn | Eurogamer

I’m so pumped about this game

For those of you who do not know, Clone Hero is a free game developed to fill the void that guitar hero and rock band left behind.

It’s not perfect but you can download custom songs and there is a pretty active community if charters.

I’m fortunate enough to still have my full collection of RB4 instruments functional after all these years, and I frequently bust them out with my wife and my friends when the booze hits just right.

In the announcement they really emphasize that you’ll keep the songs you’ve already bought. What they haven’t clarified is whether you’ll still be able to continue downloading dlc tracks that are already released. Severing that from the playerbase would really suck.

Although they are releasing one final DLC pack before this ends, so who knows?

SatyrSack,

What they haven’t clarified is whether you’ll still be able to continue downloading dlc tracks that are already released.

They are just stopping their weekly DLC release schedule. No reason to think anything is going to happen to current DLC. Just nothing new going forward.

I didn’t even know this was still around

dogslayeggs, do games w Rock Band 4 DLC support ends next week, after eight years

Is this game still playable on modern systems? Can you still buy the peripherals?

EDIT: I searched it myself and found the answer is Yes to modern systems, but No to peripherals. You have to buy overpriced adapters at retail and used equipment on ebay/craigslist.

Come on Batman Beyond. But will probably be a new IP

End of an era

eutsgueden, do gaming w Rocksteady co-founders have formed new AAA studio Hundred Star Games

What about this indicates AAA? Planned size of 100 employees, no projects announced yet, no mention of funding. Only thing I see is “cutting-edge” which could necessitate larger amounts of funding to develop, but that’s highly speculative and depends on the direction. I imagine after their Rocksteady experience, the people hired on from that company were looking for something different, not another “AAA” studio with shareholder oversight.

Now the question is, will we be getting more great games like the old Rocksteady, or will we continue to get crap like Suicide Squad?
