Thankfully, Harmonix decided to take to the stage once again five years later with Rock Band 4, a new addition to the series for the new generation of consoles. So while ending the series at Rock Band 3 made sense to me, it also made me a little bummed since the urge to rock out never left me. I have spent countless amounts of cash on games, DLC packs, instruments and accessories. The Rock Band franchise is easily my most played series of games from the entire last generation. I was one of the few who were okay with the genre coming to an end, but I knew I would also miss playing new games in the Rock Band and Guitar Hero series while not being able to see the genre grow or innovate. Once Harmonix and Neversoft took a bow and ended the barrage of annual faux band games that oversaturated the market, some folks were relieved while others were sad to see them go.
Now you’ll be hard pressed to find any retailer who wants to dedicate shelf space to multiple games all using their own sets of instruments. I remember walking into a Best Buy store with a whole aisle dedicated to plastic instruments for various rhythm games. The plastic instrument rhythm game genre both thrived and died during the last generation of gaming.
