Thanks for watching the video ROCKSMITH ON PHONE? Rocksmith+ Mobile Review | Rocksmith Plus Mobile Reaction
They would really make a killing of getting more people on this if they can find a way to make it multiplayer base across the world to play songs in synch like clone hero does.
Using an IPhone 13, it runs good. I’m happy that you agree it is pretty hard to read at times. I have used an amp and playing acoustic and it picks up pretty nicely. I see why they want mobile before console but they really have not talked about console at all. Rocksmith+ has gotten so much better over the course of the year but it still needs more development to be fully worth it. Great video Chain
I will discuss this more soon, but its pretty demoralizing that after this much time we haven't had much added 🤔
I just can't justify $20 a month for a library of songs I don't want to play. 2014 is a one off cost with cdlc really backing up an already great catalog. It does feel as though plus was designed for another group in mind than the rock/metal scene and that's cool, I'll keep to 2014 until something better comes along if it's not going to be rocksmith plus
I'm kind of shocked how good it works on my phone. I have a Moto g9 Play. It has a decent sized screen but isn't quite big enough to see all the details in the noteway, but I've been using rocksmith for like ten years so I can sightread pretty well. It does seem like it is more geared towards tablets.
I used to use an old iPhone and an irig to do some on the road practice. Most android phones couldn't do anything close to real-time audio processing. It's really impressive that basically any device can run something like this now. You used to be stuck with overpriced apple or very specific Samsung devices.
It's honestly kind of impressive that it's a virtually identical experience between PC and mobile. I would have expected a heavily watered down version for mobile.
I do want to say that despite some of the perceived shortcomings of plus, the devs have been very responsive in implementing user suggestions since launch. Visual updates happen very frequently. In regards to the tab view, maybe one day we could see an option to choose either noteway or tab only view.
I just can't justify paying that much for so many songs I don't care about. I know what songs I want to play, and if they're going to charge that much per month, it's ridiculous that they didnt go through 2014 and the CLDC lists and go "huh that's what people want to play"
Just because a cdlc is popular doesn't automatically mean they can get it. I understand what you mean though.
@@Chainbrain very true but they have the money to 1) try and 2) communicate to the community that they did try and it's not happening. Instead it seems like, outside looking in, they're just string people along on the promise that they will get more songs in the future. Thanks for the reply! Love the content!
I feel like I'm in some kind of purgatory of waiting for RS+ to be good since the beta in 2021
As primarily a rock/metal (and sometimes country😂) guitar player, the song selection in rocksmith+ just doesn't hit hard enough for me to justify the subscription. Why would I pay so much money for songs I dont give a shit about learning, whereas in RS 2014 I could just simply pay for the songs i want to learn or find deep cut tracks or stuff from smaller artists on customs forge. Hell, most of the time if I want to play rocksmith when I'm not at my pc setup, I'll pull up your or another content creator's videos and just play along to the youtube videos on my tablet and it suits my needs pretty much perfectly when I'm on the go.
I dont get why Ubisoft didn't just relaunch 2014 and just call it Rocksmith Definitive addition and maintain all the same features and dlc pay models. That's pretty much what the community wanted and they didn't seem to give a shit.
You beat me testing with a cable to adapter, but I did hear that works! I tested quietly and found an unplugged electric or unplugged semi-hollow right on the iPhone or iPad worked really, really well for tuning, but it was awful for song play. I agree on the zoom though. It looked really good, but the iPad play was a little small, and the iPhone play was so small it was ridiculous
I'm not going to pay monthly rather than pay once for the entire game.. sorry but not me. I'm really happy with RS2014 and I'll continue playing it, now even "on the go" with the Rog Ally..
i’m nearly ready to start streaming so some tips and tricks on how to stream it would be awesome!
Hell yeah! Hopefully I can get some stuff posted soon!
I will say that I never played Rocksmith before, even after being subbed to you on Twitch for years but, I downloaded this on my Galaxy S23 Ultra. It plays like a champ. Now - I don't, I suck, but it runs on my phone super smooth. Regardless of Rocksmith+ being good, bad, developed, underdeveloped...the fact that it RUNS as an app so well, that's a testament to what Ubisoft COULD be doing.
If wasn’t such an expensive membership I would do it I like the idea hate how they executed it
This is an excellent review and video, Chain. If I played guitar, I would be interested in this, though I agree that they still need to expand Rocksmith+ more for the price tag.
Have put around 80 hours into rocksmith 2014 on ps5. I was excited when I first heard of rocksmith+ and the app but I'm really disappointed in the catalog and subscription model. I am probably just going to stick with 2014.
Good app, but it's too expensive to pay 20$ per month
I gotta say I actually enjoy the mobile version a whole lot more than the PC version. From the start it was clear the UI was meant for phones. It does not translate well to PC. However on the phone, it runs great, and depending on the screen size you have is very legible. But sadly it's still hamstrung by it's very limited library of songs you "want" to play.
Now I''m excited for RS+. either on MacBook or the Xbox, it have a huge price attached to it £100 for a year, really £50 per year is enough.
Yo! This might actually make the $15/mo worth it for me! I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S21fe BUT I have a Galaxy Tab s7 that I use as my main "productivity device". I've been using Guitar Pro to practice and learn new songs on my tablet but if I could use a dongle to plug my Realtone cable & get the full R+ experience on a nice big screen that would be so fun! I think with parents getting tablets for kids this could be a huge selling point. I'm just imagining a dad buying his kid an Amazon guitar and a year subscription to R+. That would be an easy win! I also agree that the guitarcade and tone designer would be the biggest things to take the mobile app to the next level. I guess the only thing left to do is make a USB C Realtone Cable.
It’s interesting there’s no console version, as when I searched up rocksmith on my Xbox looking for dlcs rocksmith + actually comes up as an option to buy. Not sold on + yet tho
The tone of the opening of this video has "UA-camr apology energy" haha
This thing could be the best thing on earth and make me Yngwie in three years, I'm not paying a hundred dollars a year for the thing.
I understand your sentiment, but if it COULD make you yngwie in 3 years, you'd be dumb as hell to not pay that. Let's tone down that hyperbole
So, I don't really have a problem with things saying beta. As a software developer myself, I know that all software that is written is pretty much in beta anyways. When last did Windows not change? Software is always changing, even if we don't realize it. The beauty (and power) of software is that it is fundamentally malleable. The sooner developers realized that and made it possible to get software in front of their users as soon as possible, the better it was for everyone. Just my useless 2 cents.
I did a review of my own last weekend when it was fresh out of the press on public release. I have the same issue as you on screen size, though my screen was probably a little smaller, iPhone SE2. I used it with my accustic guitar that I cannot use in the PC version without re-rigging everything. I can definitely see myself play the songs that are made for accustic (Dubliners, Smokey, Boston, etc). I had tab view open, so maybe I should close tab view on the mobile to get a larger note highway. Tried it first using the phone speaker but that was a doomed attempt, connecting the BT headset I use when commuting was more of a success though next time I will deactivate noise supression so I can hear the guitar better
I would try rocksmith plus if it wasn't 20$ a month however it is and turns me off immediately ill play 2014 an continue downloading cdlcs till i get bored
but, why there is no support to plug an electric guitar on smartphone with rockSmith mobile?
Now exist virtual amplifiers on smartphone (Amplitube, Deplike, Tonebridge, AirTubeStack, GigBoard, etc) via usb otg (iRig hd2 or mini soundcard adapter) or connected via 3.5mm headphones input (homemade iRig cable/guitarLink) for complete RockSmith experience
Did you watch the video? I say you can connect the guitar a lot of ways
i actually like the Rocksmith+ tuner thats built in, like specially being a Floyd player i can just jump from 6-1-5-2 etc instead of the way RS makes you tune, in saying that, there are heaps of tuner apps in general but rating it just on that it is a good app tuner
I kind of like it. Still waiting for console, but as someone who doesn't have a PC (got a chromebook) or a audio interface yet, it's pretty neat on how it works on mobile. The only real complaint I have is I'm not sure what's official "tabs" and what isn't. I'm very much someone that likes to know how accurate the song is played that way I know ok that's how you play it, but if I want to change it up to add my own flair than I can, but thats really just a personal thing. As far as the library goes, for my taste I don't think I can justify paying 100/year when there's not tons of songs that I'd personally would like to learn. As someone who is mostly into metal and classical, there doesn't seem to be alpt there. Even though I like to slip into rock, jazz, and some blues every now and then, there's not really a lot of artist there that I know. Pf course just comes down to personal preferences, but hopefully it'll get better 🙂. Also I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and the app works great.
Great points. I will be discussing more of this in the future. I think my Rocksmith+ hiatus is over!
i’m still hopeful for rocksmith plus, and since it is update-able then they could always add stuff and hopefully take consideration of opinions of fans of the game. i still plan to get rs+ eventually but i’m gonna wait a while to subscribe since a lot of stuff is still in beta.
*inhales copium*
typical ubisoft butchering another beloved franchise.
I think that's too harsh. I get its the gamer thing to hate on Ubisoft, but they still have some banger franchises going
yeah nothing new here with rocksmith
@@Chainbrain Respectfully, I disagree. It is unjustifiable to charge that much money on a monthly basis for what is provided. As a reminder this is the company that is begging to be bought out because they are hurting so badly. Many of their top talent has left. This is the company that tried to force feed us NFTs. BG&E2 will never see the light of day. Skull and Bones looks to be completely DOA. Mirage looks like any assassins creed of the last 15 years. Siege is a complete mess now. FC6 did very poorly. They lost nearly half a billion euros last year and there are talks of bankruptcy. How. How does a company with the IP's and resources they have manage that? Greed.
I dunno man I just play the games
@@DaemonicSaviort’s the story of, what I personally feel like, MOST of these game companies today. I seriously can’t think of one AAA off the top of my head that hasn’t absolutely butchered a series with the EXACT same bullshit they are doing to Rocksmith+.
At least at the end of the day this hobby is not a video game. I’ll keep using RS2014 for now, but I’m sure the day will come I don’t need it. That’s the most confusing part of these decisions to me. It’s not a fucking game lol, and they are treating it like one. If people don’t wanna pay they’re just gunna use one of the other dozen methods of learning an instrument. I had to scroll a surprising amount just to find a video even about rs+, the people have already spoken.
i tried it, but it has really bad Scaling on the galaxy Fold phones half of UI gets cut off
Guys that have a tv with Roku and a iOS device just mirror it to your tv if you want it bigger
There's a cord that pulls from amp to Android? 🧐
I’m using an iPhone 14. I try to play mirrors screen on my TV to play it but it’s too laggy.
i just wish we could use our cdlc on rocksmith+
Ikr
I'm not sure about u guys but every time i choose a different tone, it switches back to the original once the song starts playing.. Am i missing something?? Am i supposed press something on my keyboard for the new tone to stick or switch??
I don't think you can switch tones in Rs+ just yet
What cable do you recommend to input bass guitar into the iOS version (running on iPad Pro)? I can’t get any sense from a Google search!
I used this to play with my guitar on my Samsung Galaxy S22! geni.us/R1uEAA *affiliate link*
Chain, for some reason you fu**ing look like Yoakim (the lead singer) from Sabathon
any news on a better library for Rocksmith+ yet? thats the only thing stopping me from getting it, everything else seems great but id like good song options
just finished the video, didnt know you would touch on it. that is a shame
ayy fellow samsung user, I got a galaxy s23 ultra so im not concerned with performance considering its using the best phone CPU
@chainbrain I have a quick question about custom CDLC files, will they work/load with Rocksmith+ or does this only work with the 2014 edition?
Any word on ps5 rocksmith?? I see it in the playstore. No release date
Rocksmith+ needs xbox and Playstation and additional unlocks for regular rocksmith and 2014 library bought songs.
I love the game. I instantly got the mobile version, and was mind blown at how well it worked on my old galaxy s9. They do need to fix the betas, abd add more features such as guitarcade, but they are consistently adding more every month.
I've been playing Rocksmith since the original one, and I can say that there are more than enough heavy hitters. My playlist consists of over 200 songs, that range from many video games and memories in my life. Rocksmith 2014 only had 60 songs on release. And if I'm going to play a game, i would like 1000 over 100 on release, even for the $100 annual price. You might be surprised by a song you come across. I play this game every day, and am a level 242, beat that!
Really want this but the song catalogue just isnt for me, i get that you can learn new stuff but i prefer to play stuff that i actually know, and i just dont know very many aongs in the catalogue, i must have paid hundreds of £ (UK) for dlc for RS & RS2014 and just wish there was a way to import it, i also think it should be a base version thats free and then just pay xx amount a month to play the rest of the songs, as it is, you can subscribe for 18 months, then decide you cant afford it anymore and tou have absolutely nothing to ahow for the last 18 months subscription
The app doesn’t seem to work past the subscription page, I hope this is fixed soon
If I can't project it on a big screen.. it is a big No for me . 😕
Can we get a full LIBAD review
Thank you for this video.
This would be great for me not having a laptop currently, however I’ve literally just spent 2 seconds looking for bands I would like to play and none are in the library. How does Chain find all the songs he plays?
All my videos are on Rocksmith 2014
@@Chainbrain Thank you
Ive been playing on PC occasionally. Much easier to use my audio interface on Rocksmith+ than Rocksmith 2014, but that's really all that's improved.
Classic mistake of reinventing the wheel. I get it was made from a different team, but it still, after all these months, is hard to tell when you actually hit a note properly, contains an obscure catalog of songs to learn from, and overall just an incomplete and flawed product. It is good that it has started catering for mobile users, but the product itself is still very incomplete and not worth a monthly subscription.
Subscription required? No thanks, I have enough of those, the industry model needs to change
So I’m guessing I can use my Amplitude irig hd audio interface to play Rocksmith+ mobile?
I've seen some people say the iRig HD works well
can i play this on my rotary phone, how do i download that
I've got 2 devices ! 1 runs android 8.1 the other is android 13!!! Google PlayStore tells me that I don't have the right version of android to download this pile of 💩,
Is anyone else getting issues?
I don’t rocksmith anymore maybe ‘til now because mobile version been waiting for it since 2019 or 2018 when mobile version rumors but tested was only for Canada App Store but now I use ToneLib jam alternative for rocksmith and guitar pro the reason was second time had problem with the real time cable or was a rocksmith 2014 bug
It runs, but its on the edge on the Galaxy Tab a8
It's $14.99 a month and $39.99 for 3 months and $100 for a year
I would love to support them but they aint got the songs and not having console support for when im too lazy to get behind my pc is a bummer.
Maybe someday. But I kind of feel like they aren't hearing us.
I would have to use my Samsung Ultra... I prefer PS5 which would be nicer...
I honestly don't see the appeal of having software like Rocksmith on a mobile device. I was always weirded out with competitors like Simply Guitar and Simply Piano having no PC versions.
The thing is - even if I'm traveling with a guitar, odds are I'll at the very least be able to carry something as large as a laptop as well. Rocksmith 2014's system requirements are so low that it works on my old Lenovo laptop from 2010 (Intel i5 CPU and Intel HD Graphics 4000 GPU). I even went as far as to take my laptop in my guitar case to my guitar teacher's place just to show him Rocksmith one time.
So until someone invents a some sort of foldable electric guitar that I can fit into the front pocket of my cargo pants, I'll have absolutely no use for a mobile version of Rocksmith.
I travelled for work and had a laptop but I could not install any software I wanted on it. With your example I'd have to have a second computer with me. No thanks. Tablet edition would have been baller back then.
how the hell did mobile get a port before console lol
it costs money tho. *why it cost money*
Do Amen by bring me the horizon
Lessgooo
No Mac version?! Dumb...
a cap 😂😂😂,may as well throw a wig on while your at it
Is this supposed to hurt my feelings or something?
Imagine being that obsessed with a man's haircut
