PDP's RIFFMASTER Pre-orders Start Now

Leading gaming accessory maker Turtle Beach Corporation (Nasdaq: HEAR), and Performance Designed Products LLC (PDP) today kicked-off pre-orders for the highly-anticipated RIFFMASTER wireless guitar ($129.99 MSRP). Scheduled to launch in April, the RIFFMASTER is the first guitar controller designed for a new game in nearly a decade, designed to fill the musical void in Rhythm-action gamers' hearts. Fans who pre-order the RIFFMASTER at www.PDP.com can also secure their chance at winning the RIFFMASTER's 500-piece, limited-edition pickguard gift with purchase.

"At last, the wait is over…it's time for gamers to rock on!" said Michael Lai, Senior Director of Product Marketing, Performance Designed Products. "Rhythm-action gaming is experiencing more than a renaissance - it is being redefined! Every aspect of the RIFFMASTER design is informed by PDP's rich heritage in rhythm-based gaming, including a nod to the past with backwards compatibility. We cannot wait for fans to have their first jam session!"
PDP will launch two RIFFMASTER wireless guitar designs, saluting those who rock exclusively on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC, as well as those who rock exclusively on PS5 and PS4. The RIFFMASTER wireless controller is officially licensed for Xbox and PlayStation.

RIFFMASTER features include:
  • Play with both hands. We feel you, lefties. The RIFFMASTER's design accommodates both left and right-handed maestros.
  • Rock on for hours. Features a 30-foot low-latency wireless connection with built-in rechargeable battery for up to 36-hours of jamming per charge.
  • Crank it up to 11! Includes a 3.5 mm audio jack and has D-pad audio controls enabling on-the-fly volume adjustments.
  • Take the band on the road. A collapsible design makes for easy storage and transport, and the luxe shoulder strap provides added comfort.
  • Elevate every performance with guitar analog stick (patent pending).
  • GAME!!! RIFFMASTER is compatible with Rock Band 4; with anticipated compatibility with Fortnite Festival as soon as Rock Band 4 guitars are supported.
Pre-order the RIFFMASTER for Xbox/PC or PlayStation directly from PDP. Gamers can also reserve their guitar for Xbox/PC or PlayStation from Amazon, or on Xbox/PC or PlayStation from GameStop.

Isn't the PC/Console 'rhythm game', kinda dead/dying/on hiatus? (Or, did I just 'age out' of the demographic?)

I play drums on my Android tablet sometimes, and I wouldn't let anyone with this kind of instrument play along with me.

Clone hero is still really popular, but I don't think that those guys will bite on this. The wii guitar with raphnet is the best bang for buck on pc, and you also have custom arduino/ardwiino guitars with mechanical keyswitches from sellers on etsy that are also really good.
