    As someone who hasn’t touched a GH/RB game in many years, are the hardware bundles for this a decent entry path back into the genre? Or am I better off getting a used guitar and stocking with Clone Hero?

      You kidding? I’m stoked about this for Clone Hero, because it’s releasing new hardware on the market, priced for casual consumers and in brand new condition.

      Also nice to have an option for consoles, ofc. I hope this does really well, makes a lot of hardware, and grows the audience for clone hero by introducing new players and bringing a marketing budget to the concept again.

    I got into GH when I was getting into some truely weird shit (for 2000s) and picking up the guitar. I’d learn scales and music theory on the actual guitar and play covers on GH, if the song was in there.

    GH2 was hitting the sweet spot. I wanted it to get weirder than primus and rush. It never really got there.

    Since this isn’t going to bring out the tech death, I realise that I was never going to get back into it. It also seems to lack some of the charm that the original GH had, which they lost as part of the transition to Rock Band anyway.

    At least it’s not fucking EA or Activison.
