Get Your Hands On PDP's Pricey $130 Riffmaster Wireless Guitar Controller

It’s a good bit of kit, some welcome additions that make it feel modern. That being said, I have a PS3 Les Paul so once they add dongle support and actual strumming rather than just pressing buttons, I’m finally jumping into Fortnite. Bear in mind the last time I played was in 2017.

Damn. Sold out. That's sad, because I desperately want to have a long term butress against my PS3 Les Paul I've had for like 16 years dying. The other one died years ago, but Rock Band 2 is one of my favorite games and I really connect with jamming out. It's my only outlet in that way because I'm no musician. Wait, does this one even work on PS3?

I have 3 real bass guitars and a filthy great amp. Throw Metallica,rage against the machine and the red hot chilli peppers and I'll give you a living room concert all day. No need for this I'm afraid.

I really miss the old guitar hero days, so I might have to check it out.

@zhoont This one’s backwards compatible! With Rock Band 4 anyway! (please give Rock Band 2 and 3 support because they are much much better)

Man, I spent faaaaaaaaar too much money on Rock Band DLC on the 360 and then left it all behind when I jumped to PS4.

Fond memories but if I bought this then I'd end up just spending even more on probably the same DLC to play on Rock Band Rivals.
Lottery win required.

By the time I found out that they were up for pre-order, they were already sold out. They’re also $180🇨🇦, way too much to spend with my current financial situation.

I’ll have to dust off the 4 or 5 other guitars I have if I start playing Rock Band again or try out the Fortnite stuff. I was hoping the new guitar would get me back into it, but I’m gonna have to hope that they’re still selling them when birthday/Xmas comes along (if there’s nothing else I want more by then).

Scalpers is the majority it wssent good enough that the old instruments was selling on eBay and Amazon for the price of a used car. That kind of thing really sickens Me. I bought a used ps3 rock band guitar Controller at a local retro game store for $40 in January it works fine on ps5 with dongel. But I wanted another so me and my 6 year old son can play me and my oldest son who is 23 use to play togather. Try to create memory's and good times as a family. I hope alot of people who have been waiting got to get their hands on instead of majority of stock winding up over priced on ebay.

@nessisonett I don’t remember Rock Band 4 being much much worse than 2 or 3, maybe missing a little bit of the spark the older ones had. About 90% of the older games’ catalogs could be exported to 4, and most of the DLC is forwards compatible. (Of course one of the songs that were not compatible was the only song in the game by my favourite band!)

But, lucky for me, I think most of the guitars I own should be in working condition, and I recently added the PS3 back in my lineup of consoles that are hooked up to my main TV, so I’ve got no excuse to not go back to play either of them.

I was just hoping the new guitar wasn’t outrageously expensive, because I remember having some connectivity issues with the older instruments (I never bought new ones when 4 came out), and y’know, shiny new toy and all that. That, and the lack of people to play the game with — solo, like with Helldivers, is a little lonely 😢

I might finally download Fortnite and see if it’s not as bad as I think it probably is, might get me back in the groove 😆

@Impossibilium 4 has a great selection of DLC and Rivals did fix quite a few issues with the base game but the engine is just quite janky and calibration has never felt right on it. Rock Band 2 I would say is up there with Guitar Hero 3 and World Tour for the best games out of them all, but then I haven’t played Guitar Hero 2.

@Northern_munkey odd reasoning... I've a powerwasher and a dirty looking back garden but I still play powerwasher simulator every so often.

@Deljo not really. Don't get me wrong I love guitar hero and still play it every now and then (the only reason I still have a 360) but you just can't beat playing a real instrument. I've been playing bass guitar for over 30 years and I have 3 different ones. No guitar peripheral will ever be able to compete for me personally.

@Impossibilium I remeber the whole rock band 4 kit costing $150 for the complete band in the box. Shows how between then and now how much people will pay. On a positive note since it's selling well maybe pdp will produce all the insturments.
