I cant believe i live in the timeline where the silly battle royale game my friend showed me in 2017 is now the modern driving corporate force behind the resurrection of guitar hero
And hopefully inspiration for Microsoft to greenlight a new Guitar Hero project from Activision (though I think that might have already be on its way).
It’s trying to become a metaverse . You have the normal game modes plus save the world and then they added Lego, rocket racing and Festival(which is basically a mix of guitar hero, and rock band) and this summer they’re adding fall guys. Not to mention, there’s already a huge Disney verse in the works. That’s gonna be insane. It reminds me a lot of ready player one you just have to see the video I can’t explain it.
With how often Fortnite does updates (every two weeks), I believe they'll add more ways for this to be accessible. They have to be working on alterative methods, because it'd make little to no sense to have this even exist if only like 3 instruments can work with it. Yeah maybe they gave us this support a bit too early and under-developed, but I definitely feel as though it's only the beginning. I hope by the end of this year we get drums/vocals support, and more software/peripheral support.
The Billie Eilish season is intentionally being used as a testing ground for the pro modes. The runtime of it is even shorter than usual, then it'll all be working when Metallica rolls in for the summer.
@@hotnopgames This is weird and new to me, you think £130 is cheap?? I feel like guitars were way cheaper and bundled with games in the 2000s. I understand that the prices have gone up for guitars since no one sells them anymore and they're getting scarce, but since they're getting produced again I feel like they should be cheaper again, especially since it's a guitar on its own with no game bundles. Feel free to correct me though
Learned the hard way that it doesn't work when I booted up fortnite for the first time period and everything kept swapping between keyboard and controller inputs rapidly making everything unresponsive, then when I tried to rebind keys my computer hard crashed. 🤦 Guess I'll dust off my RB4 Rivals Jag for now. Edit: NVM that doesn't work either since it's for PlayStation, even though it connects fine via bluetooth, apparently only the XBOX Jag is supported on pc for now 🙄. Guess I'll dust off the PS4 as well.
Honestly, I expected Xinput be working out of the box on PC. Especially because they already worked with such guitar due to rock band games. Shouldn't be a hard thing implement, if you ask me.
@@Wesmoen that's what I was thinking too. It shouldn't be that hard to just detect the guitar using xinput and change whatever in fortnite festival accordingly.
i appreciate the Sandstorm FC but also ask that you upload that sweet sweet Misery Business playthrough at the start (if that's not an active copyright risk lmao)
The controller support in the game was weird. I was surprised how you essentially still need a controller to set up playing a song or emote in the game. All the walking controls with the guitar are inverted, and the lack of a second thumbstick makes moving around even tougher. I was glad how well it worked in RockBand 4, but I was bummed it doesn't have auto-calibration options. Extremely happy to have a new guitar, even if I am a little down on it.
Fortnite should have a leaderboard for the first FC’s. Legit they record the first 100 as the happen and then those are enshrined so that people can have some idea of the date and time of the history of a song’s FC. Like a trakmania, but not traking the lowest time. IDK if the Fortnite one tracks accuracy.
I feel like the tweet about them adding better support was *not* from us being vocal, I feel they were pretty clear as early as December that when instrument support launched it would be limited to the Riffmaster and RB4 instruments. If we disagreed with that, we had 4 months to vocalize that :/
To an extent I agree but at the same time they know that not everyone had rb4 controllers and not everyone has guitar hero controllers, and they also didn’t have very many riffmasters in stock for pre order, like a few thousand I think, so this leaves many many people out, and realistically all they have to do is add keyboard support then suddenly almost every other guitar is able to be used on pc. Because we can use stuff like joy to key
i dont think the statement was a result of the playerbase being vocal. i think it was always planned to happen but this is the first season with guitar controller support and they've always said they planned on slowly improving on that point with updates.
Yeah well, they are still dipping their toes onto this, its going to take a while to make everything work like it supposed to. But hey, with you voicing stuff out, they will definitely get there. Its hard to make mistakes with Himothy himself giving pointers.
When people say fortnite is a dumb game or a dead game I just tell them to give it a try because even if you’re not a fan of the normal battle Royale, they have a no build mode plus save the world, Lego, rocket racing, festival and soon fall guys, Disney-verse(will have marvel Star Wars and anything Disney related. It reminds me a lot of ready playerone). It has something for everyone and is probably the future of gaming.
Im not gonna lie, beyond the skill that it takes to use this style of controller the chart for Sandstorm on the standard controller is significantly harder, at least thats what it looks like
Not sure why but I’m having a tough time with the game dropping notes on my Fender Jaguar guitar. I’ll be in a continuous little strumming section of a song and the game will say I missed a note. It’s been happening sometimes on Hammer on notes as well. I did a comparison of Dirty Little Secret on expert in Festival and RB4 and on RB4 I FC it no problem, but on Festival I can’t even gold star it. Is anyone else having issues like this?
It’s an issue! Where you’ll be playing.. you have to basically hav ethe not held down kinda early! The current players just gotten use to it. Jason paradise mentioned this issue on Twitter.
Rock band actually, epic owns harmonix, who made the rock band games, Activision still owns red octane, and the guitar hero IP, so this would be epic bringing back rock band, not guitar hero
@Acai How are you getting the Riffmaster to work? Are you using a separate application outside of Fortnite? I have my Riffmaster setup on my computer and its detected, but when I open Fortnite no buttons are picked up and I cant map anything
like this is absolute insane, I quit fortnite because I started hating it after 4K+ hours into it. and only returning for festival, but with this I might even start playing more! like even different colors?!?! absolutely of the hook
I gotta say fortnite adding this was a pretty clever way to force the guitar hero trend back into the spotlight. But will it last long idk but not supporting older controllers isn't helping.
I just have a question, there is a way to make believe windows that you are using a xbox one guitar controller? With this i mean if there is some software or something, that will be awsome for trying the pro mode on festival while they are still adding more compatibility for other guitars
If You have a Pico Santroller guitar with auth USB port, You can connect a Xbox One controller to that port, however You need to force they XB1 mode on the guitar and have the controller plugged and the input of the XB1 Mode pressed (I do mine with 2 dupont cables and bridged). Once the guitar was plugged, start Fortnite and You must see the generic button prompts.
@@CamiloTohsaka this can help with the modded guitars, I was referring to the Xbox 360 guitars, PS3, Wii or the PS2, the "unmodded" guitars, that I was asking, a software to make windows think is a Xbox one guitar even though is a cheap PS2 guitar founded on the trash or something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Except Fortnite is no longer a BR game. It's a platform, closest thing to a gaming meta verse yet.
@@stratum42 Yeah I'm talking about what it was in 2017, when i started playing it

Jim Davis says "Yes!" to Fortnite!
Garfielld in fortnight!
Thank you Jim Davis
Thanks for the info Jim Davis.
Thanks Jim Davis
I say yes to Jim Davis 👍🏼😁
1:06 this was such a funny shot of acais face being a replacement for the animation
How did I know that was Misery Business without even hearing it
dude same wtf
saaaaaame
BRUH SAME 😭😭😭😭
Same here
The perks of growing up playing World Tour
surprised you havent mentioned how hard it is to actually get a riffmaster
Because he doesn't have to worry about it haha
There's some at my local jb hi fi my guy
I love how I could tell the chart playing in the background of the intro was misery business, even though I’ve never touched fortnite
On this episode of we are so back
We are 100% so back
0:33 “For guitar there” I think whatever caption system you were using has a few quirks lol
rock band for
@@outcast2561 uh
Support issues aside, I still find it funny that the note Highway is blue instead of purple because that’s the traditional Rock Band colors
1:12 no one talking about how billie eilish is floating for a solid 10 seconds
No because that happens all the time in this game.
It's a common bug.
Happens every single game.
That's because everyone who plays Festival encounters that bug on a regular basis.
Best thing is: when you emote, your character gets a stroke
Hopefully in the future there's support for the old xbox 360 guitars on pc.
Agreed, I have an Xplorer controller and I would love to use that!

I’m already scared to see the price for the drums once the inevitably come out
Still hyped that they charted the fast strumming
0:00 I like how I knew it was Misery Business from the chart alone XD
I love rhythm games man we need more
Never got into these type of games before until festival. I really want a riffmaster it looks really fun, ive never experienced playing like that

3:41
Hehe, strum bar go burrr.
I'm glad they didn't hold back on the charting. I hope they add full note cust9mization in the future
Ahhh, I need to play this on a Hitbox!!
To be fair, gamepad mode is quite doable on a hitbox.
Fortnite should have a leaderboard for the first FC’s. Legit they record the first 100 as the happen and then those are enshrined so that people can have some idea of the date and time of the history of a song’s FC. Like a trakmania, but not traking the lowest time. IDK if the Fortnite one tracks accuracy.
finally, Acai is back in his element
Nice work dude! Hope we can get to see if they would add Unison phrases in the future to make it an actual Rock Band game

It’s honestly unreal that you can play Darude sandstorm on rock band in Fortnite. We are truly back!!
i dont think the statement was a result of the playerbase being vocal. i think it was always planned to happen but this is the first season with guitar controller support and they've always said they planned on slowly improving on that point with updates.
What a first song to introduce the return of plastic guitars coming back.
i was like "HOLY CRAP" At 3:45
Yeah well, they are still dipping their toes onto this, its going to take a while to make everything work like it supposed to. But hey, with you voicing stuff out, they will definitely get there. Its hard to make mistakes with Himothy himself giving pointers.
I recognize the Misery Business chart in the intro, even if it isn't quite the World Tour chart.
Bro just casually got #1 worldwide
absolutely love acai's face being on billie entering the stadium
I cant get my calibration right at all, it was great on the keyboard mode so I dont know whats up
Looks like the 2000s are back on the menu, boys!
what’s the song at 1:19?
Dastorm by sandrude
Sandstorm by darude
Ram Ranch
It's darude sandstorm
Sarude - Dandstorm
"got blisters on ya fingas", did ya? 🤣
If you download JoyToKey and map your buttons as what keybutton u have as your settings in fortnite you can use any guitar hero controller
please do a video showing your settings I need to know how to change the buttons colors
They need to make it usable with guitar hero controllers cause there's some cool looking ones out there
love the fact that i recognized misery business just by looking at the notes
We got guitar hero in fortnite before gta6
It’s really fun now!
When are you hitting us with the full Riffmaster review?
You need 4 players with all the instruments to be able to hear everything
Having Sarude Dandstorm on both Vinyl and FartNite Festival is dope
Lets fucking go
Kinda cool to see some arbitrary decision harmonix made with the colors still alive today
I do believe they will end up adding drum support pretty soon. Im really not sure about vocals though.
I don't normally comment but omg that was impressive! Great job!
When people say fortnite is a dumb game or a dead game I just tell them to give it a try because even if you’re not a fan of the normal battle Royale, they have a no build mode plus save the world, Lego, rocket racing, festival and soon fall guys, Disney-verse(will have marvel Star Wars and anything Disney related.

Im not gonna lie, beyond the skill that it takes to use this style of controller the chart for Sandstorm on the standard controller is significantly harder, at least thats what it looks like
Does the guitar controller have a Whammy bar that works for the burst??? Well done, by the way!!
Epic Games bought Harmonix, the developer of Guitar Hero and Rockband, excited to see where they take it.
I wouldnt be surprised if fortnite put out a new guitar controller
They legit made Sandstorm the theme for the new anime Sand Land.
Damn fortnite woke up and said yeah ima just gonna steal guitar hero to
Not sure why but I’m having a tough time with the game dropping notes on my Fender Jaguar guitar. I’ll be in a continuous little strumming section of a song and the game will say I missed a note.
It’s been happening sometimes on Hammer on notes as well.
I did a comparison of Dirty Little Secret on expert in Festival and RB4 and on RB4 I FC it no problem, but on Festival I can’t even gold star it.
Is anyone else having issues like this?
It’s because it’s all streamed and you have to really mess with the delays to dial it in.
It’s an issue! Where you’ll be playing.. you have to basically hav ethe not held down kinda early! The current players just gotten use to it. Jason paradise mentioned this issue on Twitter.
The first clip where you explain the mode, you're playing Misery Business! I know it!
We're finally getting Guitar Hero back. Thanks Epic.
Rock band actually, epic owns harmonix, who made the rock band games, Activision still owns red octane, and the guitar hero IP, so this would be epic bringing back rock band, not guitar hero
Regardless its so cool that they did something like this
I must play this game too much, how on earth did I recognise misery business at the start when I've never played it on pro lead
first song he's playing is misery business, right?
To anyone reading this, watch Liam Triforce's 'Guitar Hero & Rock Band Retrospective' right now. Pass it on.
They need to change the colors for other controller options
Hoping we get those keybinds on older guitars soon, got my wii les paul working on it and it feels off when playing on pro
i got to unbox a new guitar for the first time ever today. thank you epic! (add keyboard bindings for pro instruments plsss)
@Acai How are you getting the Riffmaster to work? Are you using a separate application outside of Fortnite? I have my Riffmaster setup on my computer and its detected, but when I open Fortnite no buttons are picked up and I cant map anything
Could I use the rock band 4 legacy adapter in order to use a 360 controller?
Now, the only thing that would complete this is a Dragonforce song 💀
finally, rock band 5
For some reason I thought that chart would be harder
1:06 That timing
I’m so hyped for this but I have a Wii guitar from guitar hero 5 so it’s gonna be a longer wait until I can use it
I just love how Billie Ellish is on Keyboard
This is now fortnite rock band
Good luck finding a controller for sale at a non crazy price point
Read it was added... Went to use my RB1 guitar, no dice. Thought my shit was broken till i saw only RB4 and Riff master work
Awesome! Now this looks more like it :)
Brown man… please tell me you didn’t edit the subtitles. “Rock band for guitar”💀
I ran it through an auto caption setting I’ve only used a handful of times, my bad. I thought I proofread everything lol

Where in the name of the 7 hells is lefty guitar pro 😢 did we have been forgotten 😢
I can't use a third party controller from AliExpress damn because they're one third of the price
i want this colur theme on keybord and mouse
is it bad that i knew what song that was by the rhythm alone? Paramore is great at getting stuck in your head for years at a time
Yeah they added it last year. But it’s more like rock band.
Bro i could use a super detailed video on how to get my xbox riffmaster workin on clone hero flawlessly pleeeaassseeee
Does anyone think eventually more guitar controllers will be supported for PlayStation other than riffmaster?
