U guys think we'll ever get a sequel or one thats inspired by it?

Beat the game. Beating it against rn on Rhythm master cause its that damn good.

But i'm a bit curious given the games EXPLOSIVE success (I didn't realize it has like 20k reviews on steam hot damn)

Do you guys think we'll get a sequel, or a spiritual successor to the game? A bit like how Dark souls and Bloodbourne are clearly made and inspired by each other but in entirely different worlds.

I mean. personally i'd love to stay in the world of hi-fi rush simply cause its damn cool and would always love to see more of its booming personality and color. But i'm also extremely curious about if they ever decided to take it on a different route where would it even go and who would the protag be?

Something DnD inspired with the bard as a protag and other tags in being other classes u can meet with? Class system inspired by it to make it so u can switch up tracks on the fly for different fighting styles for enemys? random idea.

But i'm mostly curious, if they did make a sequel. Would you guys buy it? Cause i'd preorder it day one

I sure hope so, this has become a personal favorite game for me. A sequel can really run with the concept and expand the rhythm-action features even further. Just looking at the character and environmental designs alone, you can tell Tango is bursting at the seams with creativity.

According to Aaron Greenberg[x.com], VP of marketing in the Xbox div, Hi-Fi Rush was a massive success. I gather that HFR didn't bring in much revenue, but that also makes sense, as the game was a centerpiece for Microsoft's GamePass platform. So I think a proper sequel is pretty much guaranteed.

(side-note: with MS appearing to be comfortable with the idea that HFR doesn't need to actually "sell" a lot of units, it just makes it that much more galling that it comes with denovo)

Which I think is great news! It's hard not to to be enchanted by this infectious game, because it's the type of game that no marketing puke at Ubisoft or Sony (just examples) could ever deliver: the game that the developers themselves would want to play.

This is absolutely hilarious to me, because they didn't even market the game. No ♥♥♥♥ it was a surprise success, because they expected it to and wanted it to fail. Too busy hyping up Redfall and Starfield to care.

Tango Gameworks deserves better than Microsoft.
Keep Phil Spencer's greedy, sweaty hands away from this gem of a developer, please.

Yeah, screw microsoft for dropping this amazing game that was a huge success in spite of no marketing! Better not go near the property again! I wouldn't want you guys to make a sequel or anything!

I don't really want a sequel if they're going to force me to do an absurd amount of grinding to get all of the achievements, and then add an update a year later that steals my 100% and makes it even harder to complete. They need to chill tf out. This is the 2nd time they've done me dirty, the first was Ghostwire Tokyo aka Collect 3000 spirits and almost nothing else.

I'm sorry to inform you of this, but if you play games solely/mostly for achievements, then you're an easily-manipulated rube (edit, cuz this is the word I was searching for).

No one plays games solely/mostly for achievements, and even if they did it would games like cookie clicker. Far worse is someone who wastes their time on multiplayer games that will be dead in 6 months and then joins a group to whine about them shutting down.

Yeah, good luck squaring that circle.
