I was not paid to promote this. I was, however, given the guitar for free so I could share my thoughts and opinions on it. All opinions shared in this video are my own.

    PlayStation Riffmasters do not work for Fortnite Festival on PC at this time. They DO work for Clone Hero and other games, however.

    that's why you order it from the name. 1: PS4/PS5 Riftmaster Wireless Guitar Controller 2: Xbox X|S, Xbox One, & PC Wireless Guitar Controller PC is only involved in Xbox and PC controllers, doesn't show in PlayStation anyways.

    "Clone Hero and other games" -- Does that include tilt and whammy? Because I've seen mixed comments about it. Nobody that HAS a PS Riffmaster in their hands seems interested in giving a straight answer - that is, before I saw your comment/video. I play RB4 on PS5 and also Clone Hero, and I am NOT INTERESTED in seeking out separate versions for each. I don't care a bit about Fortnite btw. Thanks! Edit: I see further down you said tilt doesn't work in CH. That's too bad but don't think it's a dealbreaker. I'm happy that it works at all.

    I quit playing Guitar Hero/Rock Band type games in 2011 because I thought that they would just stop making the Guitar controllers. I might get back into it now and use it with Clone Hero. I prefer the Guitar Hero strum bars because they are more clicky.

As a zoomer rhythm game player, I always wanted to get my own guitar controller but unfortunately I haven’t been able to obviously due to no new GH/RB games being made anymore. This will finally allow me to try a guitar controller for the first time and I am so stoked! I cant wait to hopefully become as good as you and the Lore Hero group one day. :)

    The fact rhythm games are making a come back is wild to me. Its honestly thanks to people like this guy for still playing them long after they fell out of favor with the general public. Also the clone hero team. But Fortnight adding a rockband like game to their game is huge and is getting lots of people back into these games or into them for the first time.

    How are you activating Star Power, and how does it feel? It looks like you're trying to hit the thin select / back button with a pinky. I never learned how to palm Select (especially on the older models with a round select) so looking at this I feel like I'd revert to tilting or seeing if I could assign select to an input on the neck-mounted analog stick. While Clone Hero does allow for inputs from multiple devices (so I can use a foot pedal for SP), RPCS3, YARG and WTDE don't so there's also the option of feeding the Riffmaster and a pedal through xbox360CE, but then that'd probably add latency. If the Riffmaster has a nicer onboard method of hitting SP, that'd be lovely - is it just easier than it looks to hit those buttons?

    I'm actually hitting left on the Dpad to activate SP. It's kinda awkward, but once my pinky got acquainted with the movement down to that button it wasn't too bad. Just had to be careful not to press up or down on the Dpad because that will cause a strum

    I wonder if it works on PC aswell with all of it's features. I wanna use it with Guitar Hero World Tour - Definitive Edition.
