Fun fact: Rock Band Unplugged for PSP, Lego Rock Band and Rock Band 3 for DS, and Rock Band Blitz for PS3 and 360 are all mechanically identical to Frequency and moreso Amplitude, showing that, despite the whirlwind success of their peripheral-based titles, Harmonix always had a soft spot for those games and never gave up on getting them to succeed. It's kind of touching in a way.
audiosurf took some inspiration from it by the looks of it and found a lot of success because you could add custom songs. It kinda died when everyone stopped downloading MP3s though.
Frequency was my gateway into rhythm games. One of my favorite memories from that time was walking all the way across town to pick up a PS2 network adapter the first day they went on sale just to play Frequency online. I actually ran into Robotkid (one of the Harmonix team members) online that day and got to play against him once. I still listen to the soundtrack sometimes; a lot of the music still really holds up!
The majority of the gameplay from this was reused for Rock Band Unplugged on PSP, changed into a four button layout and using L and R to swap between instruments. It was really enjoyable. I played endless amounts of it back in the day. Now I really want to track down Frequency for PS2 just to experience the origins.
The reboot is my favourite rhythm game of all time (aside from OSU!). Such a shame the game is dead and there was neither DLC nor is there much of a chance for a new similar game by the same devs.
I was going to request you cover these. I had just returned from Japan and separated from the Marine Corps. I had nothing but time and got amazing at Amplitude. Like disgustingly good. I would remix tracks online that were damn near impossible like a musical mario maker.
I still think Amplitude 2016 is one of my favourite rhythm games ever. I can't say I give a damn about "star power" in these rhythm games outside of, like, Guitar Hero and Rock Band. And the original soundtrack for Amplitude 2016 is absolutely phenomenal - I can't name many other rhythm games I've listened to the soundtrack of outside of the game much more than it.
I loved these games back in the day. :) I wonder if a Frequency follow-up would be cool for VR. I just got my Quest 2 and I enjoy Beat Saber quite a lot.
i know it was out of the scope but id include rockband unplugged, blitz, and the ds ports of rockband since those sort of have the same idea but a little different
what up dude amplitude kicks ass , great game , i bought frequency too!!! i play drums guitar and sing metal mainly , but these games were def, ahead of their time, you need to have a good rhythm, to play theese games.
I love guitar hero, but I prefer 1000 times frequency and amplitude over guitar hero, I played frequency for the first time back in 2004 and I still play it to this day, I'm also addicted to amplitude as well, but frequency is and always gonna be my favorite rhythm game.
I plaued the fuck outta these games for years , frequency and amplitude were ahead of there time , Slipknot , garbage , david Bowie p.o.d. ,curve , machine head .

Your channel is criminally underrated. Huge potential to blow up.
Sadly Harmonix is now stuck in the Epic machine doing work on Fortnite.
I would've given anything for DLC for the Amplitude reboot, but it never came.
At least FN Festival is a thing now.

@@kantraa I honestly can't remember at this point, it's been so long. But it was fun regardless of whatever the outcome was!

Amp did so many cool things. They had character customization. You could make remixes online with others and save them. So a remixer/level creator.
I miss music games they are one of my favorite genres
I love your content! You deserve numbers. Keep up the great work m8~

I lovedddd amplitude as a kid

You should definitely give Amplitude 2016 Deluxe a try. Has all of the songs from the PS2 Frequency and Amplitude as well as quite a few customs.
I'm looking on Google and I cant find this miracle you speak of. All I find is the new version with mostly all new songs. I need help!
You could make your own music tracks for friends to play too. Taking the samples from other artists and arranging how you want.

Can you do a video on that one game with the weird sliders on the side that sort of functioned like the floating notes in Arcaea?
Dynamix?
Uhhhh
EQLIPSE
Dynamix?

As an Xbox person, I'm mad that the remake was only on Playstation.
I plaued the fuck outta these games for years , frequency and amplitude were ahead of there time , Slipknot , garbage , david Bowie p.o.d. ,curve , machine head .
I need to proof read before I post !
Me play amplitude in 2023😎
