What Happened to Rhythm Games and How Many Have You Played

"What happened to the yearly line up of fantastic rhythm games? They were house party must-haves, and fun for all the family. We haven’t seen a new Guitar Hero or Rock Band since 2015! Even the last Guitar Hero dropped the superb drum kit and went back to basics. We did have Rock Band VR in 2017, but it’s just not the same and didn’t have the mass appeal of the other entries in the franchise." - eTeknix

Mobile took over that niche. I'm not super sad to see it go, but I do miss Samba de Amigo on Dreamcast.

eTeknix2188d ago

Samba de Amigo was absolutely bonkers. I'm so glad I bought it when I got my dreamcast. Same with Donky Conga. Developers are so scared to be that unique these days, it's saddening.

There have been some indie rhythm games, especially for mobile, but they all seem and feel generic, even their soundtrack. Instead of interesting graphics and good songs, they just put a hundred songs that all sound the same in a bland setting.

I hope Nintendo keeps making Rhythm Heaven, maybe the only great rhythm game series still alive.

eTeknix2188d ago

I haven't played Rhythm Heaven I will look into it. Yeah the mobile ones do nothing for me, Mobile gaming in general actually.

Sony just needs to up its resolution and framerate and it'll be quite the service, still don't like streaming though so doesn't really matter to me.

SpaceRanger1961d ago

Why is Xbox GamePass on this? Not a streaming service.

CaptainCook1961d ago

Xcloud will be included with Xbox Game Pass this year

RazzerRedux1961d ago

And they announced that.....when?

CaptainCook1961d ago (Edited 1961d ago )

@RazzerRedus
Here's the link from the engineers themselves talking about Xcloud at Xbox London Event 2019.

"There's 2 things.. We are going to give you the games you own from the cloud or the games you've purchased in the future, and we will bring Game streaming to Xbox Game Pass so you are Free to discover and play anywhere and everywhere"

SpaceRanger1961d ago

Once again, why is Xbox GamePass on this? Your comment only further proves my point.

RazzerRedux1961d ago

@CaptainCook

Thanks. I missed that announcement obviously.

Neither is Uplay or Origin. "Journalism"

2pacalypsenow1961d ago (Edited 1961d ago )

The only game streaming services are PS Now, Stadia and GeForce Now.

Xbox Game pass, Uplay plus and Origin aren’t streaming.

Exvalos1963d ago

Omfg lmao!!!!! Never a more perfect time to say that

badz1491963d ago

Father__Merrin1964d ago

these cretins are all over ebay you search for a game key and something cheap comes up once you click on the post its actually not a game key but rather access to a account. theres no option on ebay to report them

arkard1964d ago (Edited 1964d ago )

Should be, what does not participate in digital sales (unless something changed im unaware of) so a sale like that is against there terms and conditions

I was wrong, they do allow digital items now.
https://www.ebay.com/help/p...

But I checked and there is still a reporting tool on the mobile website at least. You have to scroll pretty far down to get to it though

nucky641964d ago

not sure about that. i used to sell digital codes from blu ray movies i bought. i never used them so it seemed like a waste. i usually put them up for sale for a third of what the entire movie package cost me. the last time i tried to do this (around 2 months ago) i get message that trying to sell digital copies isn't allowed.

nucky641964d ago

so true. i was always curious as to how people were allowed to do that. now i know - they aren't supposed to.

Cyb3r1964d ago

Some websites sell accounts too Im surprised that noting is being done about this

JackBNimble1964d ago

And they're all stolen accounts

1964d ago
JackBNimble1964d ago

Why are they calling this trading accounts, this is plain and simply stealing.
