My head kept trying to turn "Guitar Hero" into Gitaroo Man and I was bewildered because Activision didn't make Gitaroo Man! Anyway, whoever does own Gitaroo Man should make another Gitaroo Man. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

God, such great memories, even from just hearing the opening music again.  hatty posted:Rip Project Rap Rabbit quote:Project Rap Rabbit aimed to build upon the rhythm-based gameplay of the two companies' previous games, PaRappa the Rapper and Gitaroo Man. Set in 16th Century Japan, players are put in the role of a rabbit named Toto-maru, who must use the power of rap music to battle against powerful overlords who have corrupted the land.

Shard posted:I like race games where crashing are a high priority game mechanic and also crashing side games. I'm surprised there hasn't been a Minecraft racing / vehicle building game that's also a spiritual successor to burnout. It seems like an obvious thing to try; smashing Legos is the thing you do after you build them. Especially when you consider how weird Minecraft Legends is- who wanted a weird RTS? Dungeons was good tho, everyone likes babbys first Diablo.

Pirate Jet posted:Which is a shame because GHL was actually pretty cool Yeah I liked Guitar Hero Live. People made fun of it being an FMV game but I thought they were neat and the new guitar was cool but it's a shame they could help themselves from having a really awful online model For anyone who didn't play it - only the 40 or so songs from the campaign were available in freeplay and for the other 500-600 songs you had to play the online mode GHTV which would have three channels streaming random songs from different genres that you join in on. If you wanted to actually choose a specific song from the catalog you had to use "plays" which you'd buy with the coins you rack up from playing songs on the GHTV streaming channels or by paying real money for another currency called "hero cash"   why can't you be normal activision. Hatsune Miku sold me 220 songs for £20

I forgot how weird that system was. Almost a shame that the music games collapsed again. Me and a buddy both got Rockband 4, had a great week playing it and then never set it up again.

I got a bundle of GHL plus the guitar controller and all the “plays” I’d ever need for the online jukebox thing for like thirty bucks on Black Friday a year after it came out and had the most fun I’d ever had with a rhythm game since Rock Band 3. Good times.

If I remember the timing right they launched it long after people realized they need something more substantial than just concept art to back a kickstarter.

I might have bought this had I known anything about it. Paradox is horrible about getting news out about any of their games except their own development studio, and even that is mostly because I actively follow the grand strategy space.

i feel like two-fisted pulp adventure is one of those genres like sword and sandals where you've gotta budget in the margins. there's certainly an audience for it in 2023, but not a nearly $30 million strong one

And I feel like an XCOM-like needs a really strong pitch or name behind it to get much attention (and maybe a catchier name).

Trying to imagine what it would take for Guitar Hero/Rock Band to be accepted back. It was a big social phenomenon, and after a few years everyone collectively decided “that’s enough”

Really struggled with guitar hero after making the switch from crt displays to flatscreens. Dunno what was up with my setup back then but I could never dial in the input lag enough to make it playable

They rebooted the campaign a day or two later with Switch at only $1.5 million, but the damage had already been done.

Shadowrun Returns and Battletech each cost, what, less than a fifth of that? They were much more modest projects that could afford to be a bit of a slow burn sales-wise (especially since a lot of it was KS money, not a publisher deal that demands immediate results). And those were decades-old recognized IPs, rather than a loose interwar pulp milieu. And yes, Paradox sucking at advertising didn't help.

I tried the Lamplighters League demo and was just thoroughly unimpressed. I dunno man, it didn't even run well on my new system for some reason. Frequent hitches and it's not an Unreal game so it wasn't shader compilation or something. It certainly didn't justify a $50 price tag with a $15 day one DLC which I would like to associate with games that at least look impressive and run well. I wonder how much money Paradox and Harebrained were able to get from the Game Pass deal.

I can't even remember what happened to my drum kit, but I remember it ended up being this huge unwiedly thing that just lived in the corner of my apartment gathering dust once I was done with it. Guitar Hero was a lot of fun though, and I could see it making a return at some point in the future. 100% they'd nickle and dime it to death The one I did always want to try was DJ Hero https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re5nfyBxxb8
