Not sure if any of you guys would be interested in playing this, however it sounds pretty solid.

Paul has said that the game is in 4 parts of their career, Old Liverpool, Sgt. Pepper etc and that He and Ringo are putting a lot of effort into it

Seems interesting. The only problem I see is that I'm not sure if many of their songs will translate to being very interesting/difficult to play on RB instruments. I love the Beatles though so I'll probably get this no matter what.

OMG AIDS WTF ARE THESE IDIOTS THINKING EFWIOEJHFIWJEUWFGHUOE

I want this game so bad

i was just about to sell my rock band stuff, not gonna do that now!!

I don't know what Ringo is thinking, but Paul is probably thinking something along the lines of "Why, oh, why did I not sign a prenup?"

How old are you? This is gonna blow nuts

Dudes in their early 40's and up should love this game.

No need to worry, though--the game is also compatible with all existing Rock Band instruments.

huge imo. i would not buy this if it required new instruments

I'd bet the easiest Metallica song on GH: Metallica will be harder than the hardest song on Rock Band: Beatles. That's definitely true for drums. Might not be true for guitar (Clapton's solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps, maybe?)

It would be pretty cool if they designed it with two vocal tracks.

Game informer said the same exact thing.

Muresan, do you have some kind of deep seated hate for The Beatles or something? Relax.

F the haters, can't wait for this!!!!

I'm 21 and haven't been this excited for a video game since ever.

Will we be able to transfer these songs to Rock Band 2? Like we were from Rock Band 1?

no

Boo... Picking up Guitar Hero 5 on Tuesday~~~

Did you really want to see "American Phil" or "Moosejaw Beaudroux" singing "Here Comes The Sun"?

Sorry, that game is more than the charts. It's the animations behind the game, too, and the integral, unique thing about the Beatles is that it's the band themselves doing all their own songs.

This is the $%^&*( Beatles... and I'm sure Paul, Ringo, Yoko and Mrs. Harrison all stipulated that exportability (or importability -- we don't want to see the Beatles cover "Souls of Black", either) was not permitted.

It's not "Rock Band 3". It's a different game, with different DLC.

I'll pick up GH5 tomorrow, and drop it like a hot potato on 9/9/9 in favor of the Beatles.

Jester

I guess, I'm just not a huge Beatles fan. I was more of looking at this game as more DLC that I bought.

I'm not entirely sold, I guess. We'll see, though.

the beatles are timeless it doesn't matter how old he is. now shut up.

there's a demo up at best buy. The visuals and interface look really nice. Wasn't sure if I wanted to get this, but probably will eventually.

No, but I tend to have a good idea when certain songs are gonna suck ass to play on GH or RB. This is yet another example of a half-assed moneygrab that has become standard for these types of games, and paying money only encourages them to do the same in the future. I am amazed that people think songs by the Beatles will be any fun to play on guitar or drums

Yes, to listen to, but not to play on Rock Band. This game will suck ass, but tons of people will mindlessly pay their money, further incentivizing the company to put out a sub-par product because who the hell cares if it still makes money? I asked how old he was but I figured that older RB/GH players will be the ones to purchase this game, but who knows?

This game isn't really catering to the hardcore RB/GH players. The game is geared towards introducing a new generation to experience Beatles music. They went through tons of old master tapes to get high fidelity audio, for each instrument. They got studio banter from recording sessions. They have introductions from the Ed Sullivan show, as well as crowd screaming. They have painstakingly tried to recreate the visuals for every aspect of their career. They have different characters for different eras of their career. They recreated the venues, From the Ed Sullivan show, to recreating parts from one of their movies, studio sessions, the famous last apple rooftop concert, Cavern Club, Shea stadium, etc. They got creative input from Paul, Ringo, George's son, George Martin's son, and Yoko. They even made custom instruments so it's like you're playing what they were playing. All of these things added together point towards careful, painstaking planning and execution of a great Beatles experience for newcomers and hardcore fans alike. They're also re-releasing the Beatles albums in both stereo/mono on the same date, which btw is highly anticipated by many Beatles fans, and tries to take how people experience music to the next level.

BTW I'm 25 and a huge Beatles fan. I don't think any part of this game will suck. One of my friends that has never owned a RB/GH product has already pre-ordered this game, and she's very excited to get it. Most of the reason I like the RB/GH games is that I love the music. I don't really care about how challenging a song will be to play on RB/GH or whatever metric you use to see if a song will be fun to play. The reason I find songs fun to play on RB/GH is if I like the song or not; this is also the metric that anyone I know that's played the game uses too. I love ALL the songs they've included on the game, much like most Beatles fans, and it will be great fun for us Beatles fans to play. I don't really see how this game is a "moneygrab" any more so than video games in general are a "moneygrab". This game seems to take what's great about RB/GH, and extend it to make it more of a full experience of the band and their career. I really hope they continue to make games like this, that try to painstakingly recreate careers of the behemoths of the music world, in an interactive environment. If you want to call GH:Aerosmith or GH:Metallica a "moneygrab", I can't say I disagree, but in this case, I feel you are flat out wrong.

Wow, Zeebo just pwnd this thread. VNH sir.
