Why Clone Hero Succeeded as a Rhythm Game

[@EtienneYT]

Thumbnail won't update, sorry everyone! I'll try to fix it in a bit.

[@beatsalad1]

Great video dude! Clone hero was always an interesting rythm game to me, hard to play with keyboard tho lol

[@acai28]

great vid :^)

Ayy thanks, man! Much appreciated.

Hey Brown Man. I love your content. Keep being awesome.

If only we could still just buy a brand new controller instead of having to search everywhere for a second hand possibly broken guitar.

[@seven_chords]

some guitars for the game can actually be bought new on amazon, at least here in germany

[@Ch4pp13]

Seven Chords WHAT?! I fucking hope that they ship to more than just Germany.

[@RafaelLacer]

@@seven_chords here in Brazil you can find some brand new gh guitars too, not very cheap tho

[@theDatatsushi]

I got my guitar for CH on Amazon and it works with the raphnet adaper! Not an official guitar hero guitar but worked just fine and feels the same as the GH3 Wii guitar.

[@Ch4pp13]

@@theDatatsushi i took at look at their selection, but couldn't find one that said "buy me, damnit". purely out of interest, what did model did you get?

[@Alicebleh]

Now lets hope someone takes this opportunity to start making reliable custom guitars and we'll be set for life

[@thisislargemouth5566]

You can buy a new 3rd party wii guitars still and with a raphnet adapter is the lowest latency experience. They are decent quality from what I understand. I personally love my xplorers but they are getting expensive and more and more beat up

[@randybobandy9828]

@@thisislargemouth5566 I have had a explore brand new since 2007 and I just got back into gh via clone hero. I love my xplorer over all the other guitars that came out for gh3 ghwt ect. It just has such a solid feel

[@thisislargemouth5566]

@@randybobandy9828 yes that's my favorite feeling guitar as well. The Stein bar is probably my favorite. I've cc'ed a few brined xplorers before and stuffed their guts into other guitars but it's never the same as that first time you picked up your new crispy gh2 xplorer

Clone hero is an amazing game, with many skilled players. This game is pretty fun to watch as well. Great video!

[@Arc-Trinity]

Probably because it's free, highly customizable with modifiers such as song speed among many others. It also has an almost infinite choice of songs. CH is just the best.

[@yol_n]

Yeah this "infinite choice of songs" is something you'll never see on a real guitar hero game lol

[@BandiPat]

It's amazing to see how far the game and the community has come in the last couple years

[@omukssbm]

Immediately recognized Intervals. Nice song choice.

[@kad0877]

Same, Aaron Marshall is one hell of a guitar player

[@SillyGoober808]

Great informative video as always. Thx for making this, was really interesting

[@josephvalus9968]

Great Vid! The only thing that kinda threw me off is the fact that you said no difficulty attribute when there are many songs that have that, for example it shows the guitar and says 6 at the bottom right, indicating how difficult it is, then again you are right since it is a really vague scale.

[@AmyraCarter]

I am so glad to have been part of, if a small part, the development of Clone Hero. I do believe that the ability to have the bass.ogg stem compatibility was all on me (didn't hear anyone else talking about it). Of course, 32-bit versions of Clone Hero came about because of my lackluster hardware. I enjoyed being able to contribute to this, and I hope PNH (I like the name Rhythm and Pulse for the new-er project) soars for all players, novice and elite alike.

[@Yuzuki1337]

Woah your profile pic is giving me nightmares

[@deadweight4887]

I wish activision starts producing guitar controllers again, those things are getting rare.

[@BenAck912]

1:51 and 2:26: "Ooh-kog?" Are you serious? It's prounounced "You-kog."

[@overclockofficial6669]

The real reason Clone Hero succeeded: It gives us a chance to hold our hands different compared to normal games

[@TheDragonsPit]

Another few factors just include literally having a place to play every Rock Band and Guitar Hero game songs all in one place that can easily be played with just some danky ass keyboard if you don't got a Guitar controller.

[@justbilly]

2:10 look at this man

[@musicased9591]

The song you have playing in the background, Belvedere by Intervals. It tripped me the fuck out cuz i was playing it on guitar literally 10 minutes before this video and i faintly heard it and it made me think i was hearing things

[@DavidTheBurrito]

I remember watching your vid of playing mc mental 1.2 with a guitar controller.

[@EtienneYT]

It was a 1.1 haha. 1.2 would be nutty LOL

[@SilverBullet27188]

Inb4 DMCA takes down all of clone hero XD

[@nevy4256]

It won't. Clone Hero itself doesn't have the music, and the source code for it was built from the ground up without using existing code from the GH games, meaning it's an entirely separate entity.

[@AbsurdAsparagus]

@@nevy4256 they can target the likeness of clone hero tho.

I see you with the intervals in the background ahaha, by far one of my favorite bands

[@NekoApril]

That's the thing about anything directly related to music. It may wax or wane, but you can never kill it. It will always find a way to survive.

[@wohooooooooooo]

The most important reason is clearly that you can use any backing track to make your own song without having the song owners permission, which activision or rockband could not.

[@starxhilmie]

You can with rockband 3 jtag console. Plus drum, vocal and keyboard as well

[@obnoxious2909]

intervals in the back!

[@hmenze99]

this intro threw me off cause its a song called Belvedere by Intervals and its in my instrumental music playlist and i thought somehow it started playing

[@avatarmanz]

The difficulty it a song is listed on the right side, usually from 1-6.

Clone Hero is the Step Mania to Dance Dance Revolution

[@alandunaway3000]

Nope, Clone Hero isn't multigame like Stepmania. More like a Delight Delight Reduplication version of Guitar Hero.

[@NestorTheMindSculptor]

Solid video, my guy

[@hi_im_los]

Good video, as always :)

[@baccaalaboss9331]

I just wanted to know why they cut off the production of clone hero and start on project note hitter. It still has lots of potential to become a solid video game

[@Lyth]

because they're not just making a "clone" anymore, they are releasing a full fledged game like guitar hero to hopefully really commercialize; not just appeal to nostalgia.

[@sjr1735]

Clone Hero was worked on very intermittently before it's public release, therefore there is still weird old 2011 code in it. PNH will be easier to develop and will also be a full game.

[@DJLani]

Just a question for thought, Why aren't other rhythm games getting as much traction as clone hero? Like Osu or Stepmania in particular?

[@beardalaxy]

at least with osu, it's very hard to watch and understand what the hell is going on, and it also has a decently steep learning curve.

The title acts like Clone Hero is a completely original game...

[@JonathanScarlet]

I might just sound like an old curmudgeon, but I don't really see much appeal in the game beyond being a meme generator. That, and/or I'm unreasonably hesitant to try and do something like this in regards to bringing a console game to the PC in some fashion, whether it's hooking up a controller or just playing it on PC in general. That's probably just a me issue, though. I'm not against CH's popularity--really, anything that keeps Guitar Hero alive and popular is a big plus in my book--but I largely don't see myself as ever getting into it as much as I did the original two series. I'll probably just live and die by them and not CH. (Yes, I'm commenting on a two-year-old vid and being self-conscious about it.)
