A Minecraft Redstone expert has made a working version of Guitar Hero in the game. Except for Fortnite Festival, Guitar Hero-style games have been largely lost to time, but Redstone can provide Minecraft fans with a way of playing songs in the Mojang game.
In the mid to late 2000s, Guitar Hero and Rock Band built sizable communities for themselves. While both franchises still have fans and an independent game named Clone Hero has continued their legacy, modern consoles don't have an equivalent. Meanwhile, Minecraft players have been making incredible builds, farms, and mini-games with Redstone since the game was released. Some mini-games eventually become fully fledged mods, while others are kept exclusive to one Seed. This Minecraft fan has used many materials to make a unique version of a rhythm-based game.
Reddit user _GergYT recently shared a clip of their Minecraft Guitar Hero mini-game. The clip plays a guitar-heavy song labeled C418 — Far as blocks fall down a fretboard as they do in Guitar Hero. Notes correspond with inventory items the player must switch to as the colored blocks pass by Minecraft Redstone Lamps to two rows of Gold blocks. The player switches between a Carrot, Diamond, Gold Ingot, Raw Beef, and Scute to strike the orange, blue, yellow, red, and green notes, respectively. Two adjacent platforms indicate the player's score and how many notes they missed using Observer Blocks, Pistons, Redstone Lamps, and more.
For the mini-game to recognize what items the player swaps to, nearby Minecraft Villagers detect what they have equipped for each note. Unlike Guitar Hero, this mini-game doesn't alter the song when the player fails to hit the note corresponding with their inventory item. The video goes on to show a different angle of the mini-game to reveal its inner workings. The build uses Redstone that's connected to Powered Rails, Pistons, Dispensers, Glass, Quartz Blocks, and what appears to be colored sand. The colored blocks represent the guitar notes falling down the fretboard, while everything else comes together to push the sand out to correspond with a note in the song.
While _GergYT has a YouTube channel, they haven't detailed how their Guitar Hero mini-game was made yet. It's currently unclear if players can use any in-game song in this mini-game like the Jukebox, or if there's a specific set of music for it. Other players have made their own versions of rhythm games in Minecraft before, but few if any have as many moving parts as this one.

Over the last few years, the developments in artificial intelligence (AI) have been rapid. Consequently, we've witnessed the adoption of this technology by the world's biggest tech companies including legacy organizations such as Adobe, Meta and Microsoft. Various applications of AI have emerged, from making driving easier via ADAS to AI chatbots that can create content out of thin air, its uses are many. Now, Google DeepMind researchers are making use of AI to assist in one more field - medical science. With their latest innovation, researchers have shed light on an AI assistant for doctors that can help diagnose patients.
A gamer online has shared a hilarious fail from Battlefield 2042, which implies that the jets in the game might not be working exactly as developer DICE intends. Despite countless patches since its release, Battlefield 2042 still suffers from its share of glitches.
A good deal of RPG protagonists tend to be on the dark and broody side, if they’re not altogether silent. That’s usually justified — they tend to go through circumstances that uproot their lives at best and, at worst, irrevocably ruin them. It would only be natural for that to have an impact on their overall demeanor.
A Minecraft fan has used Blender to create an incredible animation of a Wither destroying a village. Villages have been a staple of Minecraft since it launched, but this animation adds a dark twist to the point of interest by having a boss attack it.
The Pokemon franchise has never really been known for coming anywhere close to pushing the envelope with its technical accomplishments, but recent years in particular have seen a number of the series’ mainline instalments being let down by the poor technical state they have launched in, from Pokmon Sword and Shield to Pokemon Legends: Arceus to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The latter in particular launched in such poor condition that Nintendo was forced to issue a public apology.
cutscenes don’t always play out in ways that are necessarily ideal, but there’s one easy technique that can help make characters look more presentable at virtually any point in the game. Unlike the first two games in the series and many similar RPG competitors, features extensive voice acting and motion capture to bring conversations to life. This can provide enormous benefits to overall immersion, but it also provides plenty of opportunities for minor things to become distracting.
It's been almost two years since Master Chief got some, and nothing has been the same since. We live in a world where Mr. Halo himself has got laid, a very different characterisation than we get in the games. It made headlines, it shocked the world. Now, it turns out that we weren't the only ones who felt that it was a little ridiculous.
A Ninja Theory developer says Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2's combat will be "very different from the first game."

It’s been three and a half years since Naughty Dog’s last major release, and though the developer has released The Last of Us Part 1 since then (and is set to launch The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered soon), questions surrounding what the studio’s next new flagship release will be have been growing louder. And it seems a developer working at the studio may have spilled the beans on that- to some degree, at least.
There is quite a bit of anticipation over what Naughty Dog is cooking. We were expecting The Last of Us Online for a few years, which was publicly unveiled a while back. But it was last month, leading into the holiday breaks, that Naughty Dog unveiled that this project was being killed off. So now the wait is just what exactly is being worked on next. Fortunately, we do know that an illustrator named Colin Lorimer from the talented PlayStation studio is working on this upcoming project. But don’t expect much more information to come out.
