The Reasons Why Rock Band And Rhythm Games Vanished
Manage episode 313100170 series 2360446
Today it's Arnaldo, Kelly, Mike, and Paul talking about the meteoric rise and fall of the rhythm video game; most notably, Rock Band. After spending some time praising the existence of the private karaoke room, we start off with the most important question: Rock Band or Guitar Hero? (8:00) With some answers in tow we talk about the creation of the company most responsible for the rhythm game wave, Harmonix (21:00) and their PS2 games, Frequency and Amplitude (27:00). The publisher Red Octane and their role in the DDR mat market and their plastic guitar dreams are up next (36:30) followed by the creation of the phenomenon, Guitar Hero (44:00). Next we talk Rock Band itself (57:00) and our own band names (1:11:00) and wrap things up with the sad list of reasons the genre has fallen off a cliff (1:30:00)
