A virtual rock star simulator sounds like an obvious idea. But as Rock Band studio Harmonix found out, letting people play a guitar inside the Oculus Rift requires a lot of work — and a new approach to the genre. We went to Boston to see how they did it.

What about playing a real guitar
They clicked analyze 😀
this is made for AR not VR
I dont see myslef playing this on the rifft
take your friends, buy the cheapest shitty instruments and rock out on in your garage
Never got hooked by GH or RB, but VR sounds like a perfect fit
I would love to see Rocksmith 2014 in VR like this !
Ohhhh I so need this in my life. I hope someone takes “Shooters” to the next level soon.
Lets take the skill out of playing rockband. No thanks.
Nope nope nope thanks but no
Just buy a damn guitar
Rocksmith is a better game and your using a real guitar. I Don’t think you need vr
Rock Band Deathmatch ‚m/
The girl ( face I want to die ) returns . She didn’t do it this time 😔
Dope video!!😄😋
Just invest in Rocksmith
Cool idea!
The whole point of being on stage playing with a band is that you know the song off by heart. You’ve practised to get there. If the game was to encompass the idea of actually jamming the songs out until you were ‘ready’ to perform them onstage, knowing the song well enough to do so with no que track, would make it much more realistic. It would then be rewarding to play in front of the crowd
another stupid review from this lady
guitar hero is a great game, but not a great match for VR. aside from putting you on a stage it doesnt seem like you interact with the virtual environment in an interesting way. maybe you can get over stage fright though.
Great content guys, but please stop using the glowing title thumbnails! Awful.I understand this part of your brand colors, but use a more modern 2D graphics.
So basically a game for all those people who dream of getting participation certificates
This is such a bullshit…
What a garbage! Just buy a real fender jaguar instead and rock in the real reality
Rock Band VR in PlayStation VR, please!!
So it gives you that “on stage feel” for simply participating and hitting random notes? It would be a cool idea if they could throw the scrolling pattern in the back of the venue.…kinda like a projection screen within the VR, so you could be on stage, see the “fans”, and actually play the song like on rockband. But this.….this is just the lazy way to feel like a rock star. And I can assure you, it would be nothing close to the real thing haha. Grab an instrument, learn it, have fun, join a band, and rock on an actual stage.
Imagine Guitar Hero Live VR. I think I’d have a heart attack. There is no such thing as a better idea than that game
You just jam on chords now. In order to make it work in VR, they had to simplify it so much that it’ll be boring.
i am Really Good a this not even my cousins can beat me to the rock band game, =D and then one of my friend hand me a real Guitar, i was like 0_o aahhmm i need to go my hands is hurts, deep inside i have no idea about the Real Guitar =D Toinksss
How not to sell me a game
1:42 Why would I need to “teleport” if the controller thing already has an analog/joystick thing? Can’t I just walk around instead of teleporting?
how does you get in touch with a Harmonix? Us plastic guitar players could give them a lesson in what the consumers want and /will buy/
