I have a buddy who’s literally learning how to play bass via Rocksmith, it’s the only game he plays on the PS4 that he bought specifically for that purpose.
It doesn’t even need to be dead, those fucking ghouls in suits oversaturated the market immediately because they have no concept of long term planning. If they had the wherewithall to have slowed down releases to every few years instead of every few months, this would probably still be one of the most actively played genres.
Basically this. If they had slowed down releases, even added new songs as updates or micro DLC packs in between, I think they’d have had something that would’ve worked for years. It was incredibly popular because the variety of play was big and the controls for each position were pretty basic enough to the point that anyone could pick up any position and play.
However, everyone had to have their own version inside of a year. DJ hero, American Idol games, every major band of the last 50 years got their own branded version of Rock Band, etc. It burnt the market out like the Great Awakening.
