Yup. Clone Hero did an incredible thing for the rhythm game community, but the lack of vocals was a serious bummer (and made it so it could never really be a RB replacement), there are still a lot of engine flaws (hopos are hilariously easy), and development has been CRAZY fast on YARG. Plus it doesn't used ripped assets which is great.
Obviously we do, everyone needs more rhythm games in their lives, Clone Hero and Spin Rhythm can't hold down the fort forever without some more friends.
YARG is lighting a fire in the community. Things like realtone cable support in the future have some insane potential. Also the "true drums" plans for hi-hat pedal support are lovely
YARG has been such a fascinating thing for me to see develop. It might be the first time I'm GENUINELY invested in a proper rhythm game. It's super easy to use and understand, especially for someone like me who has little knowledge of rhythm game stuff. Super excited to see where the game goes, and I can't wait to see more YARG over here on the channel. I always love stopping by on Twitch and watching you plan, man.
Such a solid take. I'm loving YARG, and I would recommend it whole heartedly to anyone interested in another rhythm game to play. The Devs are super open with everything, and communicate with everyone, everything they are working on in regards to the project. Please give this game love and hype, because it truly deserves it.
Communication with the YARG devs is refreshing. They're always asking for feedback. Wild how far YARG has come in such short time, but it makes sense with the passion the devs are putting into the game
You know, the first time I saw video footage of this, I thought it *was* Rock Band. I'm...kinda hyped for that roadmap tbh. Also Hearteater is a pretty good song, I've never heard of the band either but I could definitely come back and listen to that song more.
Custom venues have so much potential to make this game mindblowing, it makes me think of custom backgrounds for Trombone Champ and how popularity in that game exploded once people started making them. Hopefully it'll be the same in this case and we'll get a lot of creativity on show.
This looks absolutely fun as hell, will definitely be checking this out soon. Also JASOOOOONNN it’s so great to see you looking happy and healthy and energetic! I hope life is treating you well and I genuinely wish you nothing but the absolute best.
Hell, I wanna rock out in Canterlot in YARG (Yet Another Rhythm Game) Rocking out with 4EverfreeBrony, PrinceWhateverer, Vylet Pony and Astro Eden. The joint gon' be off the chain.
I personally love Fret Smasher especially for the visuals. However whereas CH I found to be a bit too generous I found FS to be just a bit too tight. YARG to me is a perfect in between for me. I'm really excited to see the next updates to come!
Nice sight read FC, song is a banger! I think it's good to have more rhythm games around, so we can fully extract potential and make for better experiences.
I'm very excited by the potential of YARG, the biggest thing that keeps me from playing it is the Rock Band note style, I can't read it at all, everything looks the same to me. Really hoping one day there's either GH note style support or even custom styles
While I have not played and GH or any games like it, and can't really do so as I do not have a guitar, but have played other rhythm games and have fun with them even though not the best at them, I do think it is always best to get more rhythm games, especially in the GH/Rock Band type, to see how people put a spin on them, just so interesting to see YARG and others come out, to have choices and the such
YARG just feels so satisfying to play it's hard to describe. I love the way the notes look, I love the tighter hit windows. I don't know how but I genuinely play better on YARG than clone hero.
Not sure if you’ve heard of “Project Outfox”…Typically I use it for ITG/DDR…but it also support for DK Bongos, GH and like 10 other obscure rhythm games… Just figured I’d share…This does like very sick though ngl…
YARG seems like if Clone hero was far more ambitious. Might convince me to pick up guitar hero considering the last time I played was in a bowling alley arcade pre-lockdown
First of all, heck yeah, second of all, good God, I didn’t not recognise you without your beard at 00:30 ! C’x (And I didn’t meant that in a bad way, of course!)
I will say that after the stream with Emil Bulls I went and checked out more of their stuff, and while it all sounds great some of the actual lyrics are... odd. Just look up the lyrics for "Rainbows and Butterflies"
Damn I was just thinking about how much I miss playing Rock Band drums and then this video shows up. Might need to dust off the ol' kit and see how this feels. Also that Hearteater song ripped.
I'm interested in how leaderboards handle the options. It reminds me on the controversy of if Hyperspeed was a cheat. Should anti-ghosting be required? Should infinite frontend be not allowed? If players are claiming an FC on this engine, should they show that they had anti-ghosting on/off before they start the FC?
The devs are already on this! The multiplier will change color if you have anti-ghosting on or not. Will take time for people to understand the differences. Will be based on personal preference with anti-ghosting accomplishments meaning a lot more. Options are a great thing
@@JasonParadise For sure! It gives power to the player. When options aren't in a game, players usually have to solve than themselves through modding. It's nice when that's not needed. Thanks for the response Jason. I've been enjoying your videos since the meme days. Thanks for what you do and have a great day!
Yeah, probably shouldn't cut ghosting out of the runnings completely, since some of the most insane CH charts out there are questionably humanly possible to FC without it. It would probably be most sensible if it eventually had automatic split leaderboards based on settings that affect difficulty.
This seems like it would be a Phase Shift replacement considering Phase Shift was styled after RB in looks or better yet, Perfomus. Performus is the only GH/RB game I know of that has vocal support and even Stepmania support
I have installed it and played a couple of songs before i go to work and i have to say it feels great to play! I'm used to hyperspeed on clone hero so it'd be nice to see that implemented as it feels slow but not really got any complaints the layout is nice, very simple to set up and start playing and once i browsed for my clone hero songs folder all of my songs imported in seconds and worked without any issues! thanks for bringing this to my attention 😊
There's hyperspeed, it's just in a weird place. When you add your profile there's a selection for track speed on the far right. I'm currently using 6.7, but you'll have to play around with it to find what works for you. In the future profiles will save so this'll work much better
Honestly it's pretty cool that we've finally seen another guitar clone go for the RB aesthetics because I always liked that more than the round notes of GH. Previously I think all we had to go with that's even semi modern was phase shift or an out of date Clone Hero mod that got broken by the official release
The main thing that pisses me off about CH currently is that there’s a bug that prevents you refreshing customization stuff (Backgrounds, colors, highways) that has been in the game since 1.0 dropped 8 months ago. It would take, like, an afternoon to fix, but they just left it in the game!
Part of the reason YARG existing is wonderful for the community. Noticed more Clone Hero dev streams since YARG started picking up on the Twitch side. Lighting a fire in the community to push things forward.
How is YARG's default controller support? I use my PS3 Warriors of Rock for Clone Hero, but for whatever reason I can't get the tilt to activate Star Power to work at all. Would it work "better" in YARG?
I’ll tell you what we really need, more instruments. Things are getting damn expensive and the last one I bought has a bad red button. 3D printing is an option but that’s also a pain in the butt. So you’re left with hoping your old instruments hold out or using your keyboard. Just sucks.
Agreed. Still the number one issue in the community. Thankfully we have options for ekits on drums, and pro keys with midi support on the way. Much easier to find midi instruments (just more expensive) Hopefully we can get new plastic guitars in the future. Folks have been trying. Fingers crossed.
the one big thing for me is does it have taps only cuz my rock band 1 guitar I use has a busted strum bar that doesn't want to register half of the down strums from decades of use, I also refuse to switch to a GH Wiitar because I like how close the higher (following actual guitar logic) fret buttons are on Rock Band's controllers because it's what I used to get my first Expert FC in RB1 with Welcome Home and what I got used to
Modifiers aren't all in the game just yet, but they're on the way in the future. One of the devs mentioned a potential "streamer vs. chat" game mode which could allow chatters to turn modifiers on and off. Fun stuff ahead
Emil Bulls is a German band that is relatively know in Germany, I would say. I've heard them on some radio stations at least and they are even booked for Wacken next year. So yeah, I can recommend checking them out :)
If I can do vocals for some of my favorite bands (Symphony X, Stratovarius, DragonForce, Ayreon, and Unleash the Archers are the ones I’d think would be really fun) I’ll get YARG. But I’m pretty sure all the charts I have of those bands don’t have vocals right now. YARG looks sick, I’m just pretty content with clone hero at the moment
When they get Gamepad Mode working, let me know. Gampad Mode is the main reason I play Clone Hero, so when they add that to YARG I'll switch over. Until then, I'll stick with CH.
I just play Clone Hero on my own in a casual way, and so with YARG still missing a bunch of features present in Clone Hero, I don't feel the need to migrate any time soon. This will probably be something I look at once all these planned features have been included.
Though I love clone hero, I can easily let it go for YARG if it means the end of spamming. So many top players with the majority of the skill coming from spamming and calling it an FC. I won’t give names for the sake of avoiding an argument but a game like this is sure to let Frif and Randy skyrocket even more for their amazing accuracy.
is there an option to make it not look like Rock Band? I just really hate the rock band notes for some reason. Also, will it take up less space than Clone Hero? My computer rapidly turned into a Clone Hero machine, so I had to delete it in order to use my computer for literally anything else
Do you think YARG could potentially or even basically be a sister (or brother?) game to Clone Hero? Or perhaps do you already see it as that? 'Cause this looks REALLY good! EDIT 1: I noticed the score counter also acts like a timer too.
Can you change the notes to circular notes like clone hero? It's funny but I prefer rock band style notes when drumming and guitar hero style notes when playing guitar
duuuuude same here! i think it's definitely because i played with drums on rock band first right when it came out, so that got cemented into my mind. meanwhile, of course, guitar hero had been around much longer.
What am I not seeing here that everyone else is seeing? Everyone seems hyped about YARG, Acai apparently thinks its the future, but I feel like I'm missing something. Its Clone Hero...but Rock Band UI. Im not seeing the reasons to play this over Clone Hero.
YARG is open source software so there's immense community participation in development. The anti-ghosting engine is a blessing for players who prefer precision gameplay over speed, this alone makes it a better game to me than CH. Pro keys and true drums (including hi-hit pedal) slated for two updates from now. Replays and more the devs are cooking up for next update which has been alpha testing for weeks. As of right now it definitely looks like the future for rhythm games
What I want more than anything is a clone hero engine that's defaulted to a stricter timing window and has timing grades a la stepmania and other games. If they add the latter I'd probably swap over immediately.
Just tried YARG out. Here are my takes: - I enjoy the hit detection, at least when anti-ghosting is off. Might try with it later on as long as it doesn't it feel like Rock Band immediately which was too tight hit window. - Tilt felt good when activated that way - but it did trigger a lot on its own. Didn't check if there's an option for deadzone yet. - Detecting the difference between normal and tap note was hard to distinguish. They aren't quite distinct enough so A.I.ngel (Become God) was rough to play. - I kind of miss going through the main menu with my controller. - Scanning songs took awfully long time. I'll look forward to it, though there are maybe some rough edges to shape still.
Most of this will be addressed in the v0.12 (which you can already try out in its alpha state). We are also planning for themes in the near future as well!
I wish there was something like this for consoles. I'm stuck with a no longer supported rock band 4 with a xbox 360 controller running through a no longer made adapter... basically once one of those things break im screwed
They're hosted in the Customs Community Discord server, separate from the YARG discord. Custom builds of the game are available there as well (such as a circle theme for notes) discord.gg/ykWkTJPKSd
All these clones but their instruments are difficult to acquire. Or at least not at decent prices especially in the eastern countries. Yet there're tons of consoles controller's clones/cheap copies.
Secondhand shops and marketplaces like thrift stores, Facebook marketplace, OfferUp, and the like. Some people on Etsy can even make 3D printed guitar controllers, but those will also be pretty costly

Nothing to see here. Just two legends, talking to each other.

Thank you for the info man! It is badass!

I saw the stage kit and it has to be said again.
"DO NOT VAPE THE ROCK BAND FOG JUICE! PLEASE"
If you do, you'll end up in the same way as the guitarist from the GH2 ending.
The forbidden juice....
if you get a stage kit just remember to not drink the fog juice
But can you *vape* the Rock Band Fog Juice? 🤔
Holy shit! Stick some weed in that thing, now THATS a fun game night.
"HERE IS ME TELLING YOU NOT TO DO THAT"
Literally 1984
I will and you cannot stop me the fog juice is my life source
Obviously we do, everyone needs more rhythm games in their lives, Clone Hero and Spin Rhythm can't hold down the fort forever without some more friends.
IIDX and SDVX still have strong fanbases and game releases
I can't believe Clone Hero is 6 years old. damn time flies.
Damn, this looks sick! I'm ready for this next wave of plastic instrumental mayhem!

Man, whoever requested that song deserves some love. I didn't know Emil Bulls existed. Glad I do now though.
You know, the first time I saw video footage of this, I thought it *was* Rock Band.
I'm...kinda hyped for that roadmap tbh.
Also Hearteater is a pretty good song, I've never heard of the band either but I could definitely come back and listen to that song more.
The beauty of open source, any people can contribute and add features they wanted. Progress are just crazy fast.

Thank you for covering this Jason. I love these update videos that help other folks like me keep up with the Rhythm game community
I just found this game and I was very excited to learn that, not only does it allow vocals, but it also uses all clone hero songs
I commented this before watching the video. very informative from the start 😂
This looks absolutely fun as hell, will definitely be checking this out soon.
Also JASOOOOONNN it’s so great to see you looking happy and healthy and energetic! I hope life is treating you well and I genuinely wish you nothing but the absolute best.
Hell yeah! Focusing on myself has been paying off. Appreciate this 🙌
My favorite part about YARG is how it's open source. Anyone who wants to improve the game (and has the knowledge) can just improve the game.
You already had me at "Including Vocals"... will check it out soon!
Vocal support. I have gotten so mad every time vocals were not an option, but FINALLY!
YARG is *the* karaoke game right now
@@JasonParadise finally i can chart vocals for songs that have them, it'll be a nightmare to make but at least i can now
Hell, I wanna rock out in Canterlot in YARG (Yet Another Rhythm Game) Rocking out with 4EverfreeBrony, PrinceWhateverer, Vylet Pony and Astro Eden. The joint gon' be off the chain.

Now I just need somebody to make afforable plastic guitars and drum kits again. I miss playing Rock Band drums
Let's go new vid and it's about GARY!
YOOOOOO! This is awesome!
First of all, heck yeah, second of all, good God, I didn’t not recognise you without your beard at 00:30 ! C’x
(And I didn’t meant that in a bad way, of course!)
Shaved for a charity event. Didn't recognize myself for a bit 😅
I've been playing YARG a bunch and i'm loving it! can't wait for pro keys, i can dust off my old rock band keys controller
Devs have said they're shooting for update .13 for pro keys. Stoked for it. Never tried 'em on RB3
Was waiting for you to drop this banger of a video. Hopefully this video will give YARG new people joining.
I will say that after the stream with Emil Bulls I went and checked out more of their stuff, and while it all sounds great some of the actual lyrics are... odd. Just look up the lyrics for "Rainbows and Butterflies"
Based on the thumbnail I thought you were defecting to team Donkey Konga… one day you will join the Kong family.
Once bongo support is added to YARG I'll be beating on it better than anyone
I hate that this stuff is so hard to put on YT. So fun to watch.
Damn I was just thinking about how much I miss playing Rock Band drums and then this video shows up. Might need to dust off the ol' kit and see how this feels. Also that Hearteater song ripped.
Yarg finnaly give me a place to use my mic again lol, jjust not anymore WOR, and if keep this way, it can be better than fofix in amount in options
Oh shit. Not only does the game look cool, but you gave me a nice new band to check out. How’ve we not heard of em?

another option they could do is apply a score multiplier for anti-ghost as well as some sort of icon

How is YARG's default controller support?
I use my PS3 Warriors of Rock for Clone Hero, but for whatever reason I can't get the tilt to activate Star Power to work at all. Would it work "better" in YARG?
I’ll tell you what we really need, more instruments. Things are getting damn expensive and the last one I bought has a bad red button.
3D printing is an option but that’s also a pain in the butt. So you’re left with hoping your old instruments hold out or using your keyboard. Just sucks.

might need to check emil bulls too now, i do remember the name in a local venue around this time. not sure if it already happened or not :D
awh yeah 18 eurobucks in february, looks like a steal
the one big thing for me is does it have taps only cuz my rock band 1 guitar I use has a busted strum bar that doesn't want to register half of the down strums from decades of use, I also refuse to switch to a GH Wiitar because I like how close the higher (following actual guitar logic) fret buttons are on Rock Band's controllers because it's what I used to get my first Expert FC in RB1 with Welcome Home and what I got used to

Community developed rhythm games have gone so far since the Frets on Fire days.
One thing I'd love would be for DJ Hero Charts to be playable. Would love to see everyone coagulate to one game and give it support.
They said it’s not their top priority yet, but they said later down the line
It's a shame what ended up happening to Phase Shift. I still believe it to be the best drumming peripheral period.
When they get Gamepad Mode working, let me know. Gampad Mode is the main reason I play Clone Hero, so when they add that to YARG I'll switch over. Until then, I'll stick with CH.
RB StageKit support actually caught me off guard (in a GOOD way!)
They should add Guitar Hero visuals like notes etc :o

Like Clone Hero, YARG pretty much takes up as much space as you allow it to, considering most of it’s just songs and charts you download to it.
In the mighty words of Acai: Do not vape the YARG juice, do not vape.
Do you think YARG could potentially or even basically be a sister (or brother?) game to Clone Hero? Or perhaps do you already see it as that? 'Cause this looks REALLY good!

Pretty much everything I play on stream gets muted. Haven't had any strike issues there, but you never know. It's always a risk until the laws change

I wish there was something like this for consoles. I'm stuck with a no longer supported rock band 4 with a xbox 360 controller running through a no longer made adapter... basically once one of those things break im screwed
I have no found at all where any of these venue files are hosted
They're hosted in the Customs Community Discord server, separate from the YARG discord. Custom builds of the game are available there as well (such as a circle theme for notes) discord.gg/ykWkTJPKSd
YARG is literally the game to save the genre.
Jesus christ... clone hero is 6 years old?? Feels like it released yesterday...
Oh look, a dev who actually cares about adding useful features.
I still feel the main issue is getting a guitar controller...
All these clones but their instruments are difficult to acquire. Or at least not at decent prices especially in the eastern countries. Yet there're tons of consoles controller's clones/cheap copies.
where do yall get your guitars and hook them up, I'm so confused lol
Secondhand shops and marketplaces like thrift stores, Facebook marketplace, OfferUp, and the like. Some people on Etsy can even make 3D printed guitar controllers, but those will also be pretty costly
What if YARG could do RB Unplugged/NDS??
can someone enlighthen me on how to get those animated backgrounds please?
Now I just need to find a plastic guitar
