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
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
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.
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.
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.
Is there a difficulty to transfer files from clone hero to yarg? Do they operate with the same file type, or do they need conversion? Or does yarg have its own library selection?
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.
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 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!
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…
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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
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
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"
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.
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!)
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 :)
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'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.
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.
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.
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
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
I like the way yarg plays especially with the new round notes but it's missing a huge feature that makes me stick clone hero and that's fail mode. If I can't fail a song I don't feel like I'm progressing for finally beating it
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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
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.
@@JasonParadise Well this game already has a step up on CH in my book. That's a feature I've wanted in CH for quite some time as I play it on my Macbook Air. Anytime I want to play something from C3, I have to load up the files on a USB drive, take them to the gaming PC in my daughter's room and convert them to play in CH. Might have to try this on my Macbook if I can get it to run.
no one talk about yarg everyone talk about clone hero, this is sad cause it took so long for me to know about yarg while i was constantly looking for something like that. I had to watch a random video of someone playing guitar hero then he play clone hero and then he play one song i foudn the note skin to be werid he said he is playing yarg to a viewer asking him if this is rockband.
I have been tempted to give this game a go, primarily for vocals. Though the anti ghosting thing seems like something I wouldn’t like so I’d definitely be turning that off.
There's one circle mod made so far, yay open source. Themes are planned to be supported in the future. The circle theme is downloadable in the custom builds channel of the YARG customs discord: discord.gg/ykWkTJPKSd

YARG is the future. I know it.
Absolute truth
Nothing to see here. Just two legends, talking to each other.
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.

Thank you for the info man! It is badass!
Ll
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....
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
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
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!
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
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
Such a solid take. I'm loving YARG, and I would recommend it whole heartedly to anyone interested in another rhythm game to play.

Man, whoever requested that song deserves some love. I didn't know Emil Bulls existed. Glad I do now though.
Thank you for covering this Jason. I love these update videos that help other folks like me keep up with the Rhythm game community
With potential through the roof, YARG is one of those games to keep your eyes on for a LONG time. Hell yeah! 🤘
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 🙌
hi friend! love your videos and glad your hair is growing back :D
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
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.
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.
Is there a difficulty to transfer files from clone hero to yarg? Do they operate with the same file type, or do they need conversion? Or does yarg have its own library selection?
Uses same exact directory
You already had me at "Including Vocals"... will check it out soon!
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.
Yarg is open source and can last much longer, unlike clone hero.
The beauty of open source, any people can contribute and add features they wanted. Progress are just crazy fast.
How do you get background?
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.
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.
Dam this foo lost mad weight. Good job on that dude. I remember how chubby you were back in the early gh3 days.
hearteater definitely has a "drive around just listening to music" feel to it. one of my favorite things to do. has been added to my playlist!
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!
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…
What guitar did u buy to play clone hero?
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

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 😂
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.
Was waiting for you to drop this banger of a video. Hopefully this video will give YARG new people joining.
We need more YARG action. Its delightful.
Now I just need somebody to make afforable plastic guitars and drum kits again. I miss playing Rock Band drums
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
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.
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?
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
Let's go new vid and it's about GARY!
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.
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

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
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!

where can i found the animated backgrounds?
Clone Hero: I am the definitive way to play GH/RB on PC!
YARG: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT (in the future of course)
Community developed rhythm games have gone so far since the Frets on Fire days.
I like the way yarg plays especially with the new round notes but it's missing a huge feature that makes me stick clone hero and that's fail mode. If I can't fail a song I don't feel like I'm progressing for finally beating it
Anyone remember Animusic? Could you imagine Pipe Dream, Harmonic Voltage, or Future Retro accurately playing to the beat in the background?
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.
RB StageKit support actually caught me off guard (in a GOOD way!)
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
What guitar do you use for YARG?
Jason has a custom guitar from 760creations. It's a wii guitar though and uses a raphnet adapter/cable to connect to the PC.
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've been curious seeing you streaming this on Twitch. Is there a limit to songs you can stream without getting DMCA'ed into oblivion?
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
Still looking for a replacement program for my Phase Shift song list. This might tick all the boxes hopefully?
It's a shame what ended up happening to Phase Shift. I still believe it to be the best drumming peripheral period.
Where can I get guitar's to play this with? all I have is a half-broken Wii Guitar Hero one, and a full-broken Wii Guitar Hero one
Best bet is to look at thrift stores if you're in America and facebook market place, if you're in the UK then places like CEX sell them sometimes.
Does the new Riffmaster guitar require all the extra steps and hoops to get to work on here like in CH?
Plug and play with YARG
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.
I wish the tiles and frets looked more like rock band. Something about it feels off but it’s really close. It’s a good alternative though

I originally stumbled upon Emil Bulls thanks to Spotify. he did a pretty good cover of Survivor by Destiny's Child
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

can someone enlighthen me on how to get those animated backgrounds please?
Have you played Everhood yet, or did I miss the livestrea?
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’m new to this pc gaming does this come with tracks or do you have to get your own
get your own
Where do I get tracks
this looks sick. just wish the xbox xplorer worked on Apple Silicon :(
how do i add venues? stupid question i know lol
And like that, i have a new song added to my music playlist.. :D
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
They should add Guitar Hero visuals like notes etc :o
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
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.
Here's what I have to ask, does it support CON files downloaded from the C3 database?
Good news, it does!
@@JasonParadise Well this game already has a step up on CH in my book. That's a feature I've wanted in CH for quite some time as I play it on my Macbook Air. Anytime I want to play something from C3, I have to load up the files on a USB drive, take them to the gaming PC in my daughter's room and convert them to play in CH. Might have to try this on my Macbook if I can get it to run.
Welp looks like I'm copying all my files that are on my xbox
In the mighty words of Acai: Do not vape the YARG juice, do not vape.
no one talk about yarg everyone talk about clone hero, this is sad cause it took so long for me to know about yarg while i was constantly looking for something like that. I had to watch a random video of someone playing guitar hero then he play clone hero and then he play one song i foudn the note skin to be werid he said he is playing yarg to a viewer asking him if this is rockband.
I hope theres gonna be a gamepad mode
I have been tempted to give this game a go, primarily for vocals. Though the anti ghosting thing seems like something I wouldn’t like so I’d definitely be turning that off.
One of the planned future updates is Ultrastar support for vocal only charts from SingStar
But can you change the rock band notes to look like guitar hero?
There's one circle mod made so far, yay open source. Themes are planned to be supported in the future. The circle theme is downloadable in the custom builds channel of the YARG customs discord: discord.gg/ykWkTJPKSd
Emil Bulls reminds me of olde skool In Flames. 🤔
I still feel the main issue is getting a guitar controller...
can you speed the highway up on yarg?
In the profile options there's a "track speed" option which controls highway speed. I'm personally using 6.5 right now
@@JasonParadise awesome thank you! i might download this
