VGChartz's Jake Weston: "Music games are coming back in a big way this year, if E3 is any indication. The kings of the genre - Guitar Hero and Rock Band - are both getting new entries after a near half-decade of absence, in the form of Guitar Hero Live and Rock Band 4. Interestingly, both are taking a back-to-basics approach, with Guitar Hero returning to its single guitar approach and Rock Band returning to the classic guitar-vocals-bass-drums combo (no keyboard, a la Rock Band 3). I decided to check out both music games on E3’s show floor to determine which is the rhythm game to beat this year."
Many video game franchises came and went during the 2010s, meeting ends ranging from sudden and surprising to drawn out and painful. Of them, these are 10 classic video game franchises that crumbled in the 2010s.
Metal gear was probably the worst way to end a franchise that was at one time the best out there, sad how that went down. Call of duty was good and it’s crapping out hard if u ask me. Uncharted ended right
Losing Dead Space and Silent Hill really sucks. Good horror games are hard to come by
I liked Killzone 2 and 3. KZ2 amazed me with the graphics. KZ3 refined the gameplay mechanics, although a small minority of fans thought the movement wasn't heavy enough like KZ2. I thought it was perfect
If you like games that make you tap your feet to the beat, here are 10 of the best music rhythm games available on PS4.
James writes - "Should you be in short supply of songs, Harmonix have you covered with loads of Rock Band 4 DLC ready to purchase, including the two latest additions to arrive from Asking Alexandria. Want to know what tracks they are?"
Weird that amplitude, guitar hero and rock band all happen to be coming out this year...after each of them being absent for a long time.
I am more excited for GH Live. I have never been a Rock Band fan but it's awesome that 4 can play all your DLC. The new Guitar Hero guitar is exciting as they are changing up the way you play and I hope that there's some technical tunes in it.
I will support Rock Band , i'm more interested by its "game" nature , and not looking for a pseudo-realistic fmv experience . The fmv feels rehearsed and fake , wich , well it is , and the other mode with music video feels jarring and not immersive for someone like me .
Besides RB4 will feature eventually my already purchased dlcs from RB1-3 .
Finally the new freestyle mechanics looks really fun
Not sure if I could go back now that I have been playing Rocksmith 2014 for 6 months or so.
