Uhhhh what are we supposed to feel about a studio launch trailer? I kinda hate them acting like they were responsible for Guitar Hero and now it will magically come back because they are coming back. Music Rhythm games didn’t go away just because Red Octane went away. Red Octane died in 2010, and we still had many years of Rock Band and other games after that. Furthermore, Red Octane was never the studio that made the games. That was Harmonix, and Harmonix never stopped trying to keep the genre alive. They most recently released Fuser, which was wildly creative and cool but audiences didn’t really care. Then they got eaten up by Epic, and now they’re trying to keep the spirit alive by integrating it into Fortnite (see Fortnite Festival).

Seems kinda shitty and disingenuous for someone to come back with the Red Octane name and pretend like Harmonix hasn’t been out here doing the work for literal decades on end.
