Rock Band must make its comeback in 2023.
Remakes, remasters and reboots seem to be on everyone’s minds these days in the gaming industry, especially among its most beloved titles of 2016. Look around at all your most-played titles this year to witness just that fact!
Metroid Prime Remastered, Dead Space and Resident Evil 4 have all seen notable remasters or remakes in the recent past, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 is just around the corner and we already have remakes of Silent Hill 2 Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and Alone in the Dark to look forward to as well as reboots for Professor Layton and New World of Steam which should reboot his series soon; in addition, fans gathered together over on Reddit today discussing whether there should be a Rock Band reboot as this series also needs major rejuvenation soon
Reddit user BamBam06 began this conversation by writing, “I want Rock Band back”, gaining over 1.5K upvotes. They went on to explain that Rock Band was better than Guitar Hero 1000% because I excelled on bass, drums and guitar (but couldn’t sing), plus had two guitars, drums, microphone, bass guitar and keyboard! Bring that back please!”
Nikiaf remarked, “More generally, I miss multi-player games where everyone was on one screen at once. Online multiplayer gaming can be fun too; four player split screen was always my favourite!”, while TerrorFuel elaborated by saying they used to host Rock Band parties where guests dressed like rockers came onto red carpet where paparazzi took pictures; instruments could then be rotated around small stage areas during parties – it was good times indeed!
Rock Band 4 may still be around and offering new songs via DLC packs, yet its instruments have become harder and harder to access; thus limiting how accessible its franchise has become over time. But hopefully this could change.
