7:13 -- Van Toffler, president of MTV Music and Logo group, takes the mic. "Today, we're announcing an exclusive partnership with Apple Corps, MTV Games, and Harmonix to create a brand new video game featuring the music of the Beatles." Emphasis mine: So, this is a brand new game, eh?
7:14 -- Talking about how fans will be able to experience Beatles music in an "interactive, new way." Giles Martin, son of George Martin, to serve as music producer on the project.

Uh, how could you not be? This isn't a bunch of washed up dips like Aerosmith or Metallica. It's the Beatles.

You'd have to buy DLC separately. History tells us the songs will be exportable. How is this different? Like, at all?

I can understand not liking The Beatles, or just not being into them, but hating them is extreme. They've influenced every musician after them. They are an incredibly important band and they did a lot to expand what could be done on a mainstream level.
The Beatles aren't my favorite band but they have really enjoyable music and I have the utmost respect for them.
.7:15 -- Toffler about to pass it off to Rigopulos, but first: "We're not necessarily in the business of producing standalone music games for every band out there," he says, but this was a "perfect confluence."

I don't need vindication, I was always right. If Harmonix aren't cunts, we'll get more songs for less money.

If they go the GH: Aerosmith route, "Tomorrow Never Knows" by The Chemical Brothers (or "Setting Sun") wouldn't be the worst fucking thing in the fucking world.

Why don't we wait for confirmation before we jump to that conclusion. :|BenjaminBirdie said:You'd have to buy DLC separately. History tells us the songs will be exportable. How is this different? Like, at all?
I think it will be too, but if they got the balls to make Rock Band: Beatles as a game and not a track pack, you got to think they might have the balls to say you can't export it.
That album is an abomination.rhino4evr said:oh shit Martins sons in charge. If any of you saw LOVE, you should be really excited.

Alex picks up. "This is not just a Rock Band expansion pack, it is much much more than that." A "ground-up" project, a journey through the band's imagery and how the band evolved through their time together. This is a tall order.

it sounds pretty ambitious. More than GH:Aerosmith.

Im talking about the Vegas show. not the album. The show was absolutely fantastic, and the soundtrack fits it well.
listening to just the Love album is 2% of the actual experience.

No, it sounds EXACTLY like GH:Aerosmith, except without the other songs. The only difference is that I like the Beatles and not Aerosmith. :|Ninja Kn1ght said:it sounds pretty ambitious. More than GH:Aerosmith.

At leas there's this:
7:23 -- The music will be based on the UK releases. Martin says: "We are trying to keep to, as much as possible, is for people to play the songs as though they're playing the originals... More of a way for them to interact with what they know very well as opposed to us remixing as we did in Love."

This sorta goes against the whole "platform" thing. There better be a way to export songs or HMX are the biggest hypocrites ever.

It doesn't look like this has anything to do with Rock Band at all at this point.
7:26 -- Does this mean Rock Band won't get Beatles music at all? They aren't saying.
ETA: As far as being hypocrites, yeah, they should have stuck to their guns. And turned down THE BEATLES.

Well, at least this gives me a tiny modicum of hope for exporting songs into Rock Band. I still have a sneaking suspicion that it won't happen.7:26 -- Does this mean Rock Band won't get Beatles music at all? They aren't saying.

I cannot wait to take an insane amount of drugs and play this game. You know, just to get the full Beatles experience of course.
But seriously, this sounds awesome. The Beatles are probably the only artists that truly deserve a standalone game (sorry Aerosmith, you suck). They have enough good songs in such a wide variety of styles that they'll easily be able to fill up the disc with incredible tracks. I just hope we get more Sergeant Peppers Beatles and less Hard Day's Night Beatles.

Well when you see the show, you'll understand why the album is so damn good.
relax though, they just announced they will be originals not remixed.

No is not... they described exactly what GH:Aerosmith and GH:Metallica are doing.. the video snips may be larger or what not.. but the concept is the same as I understand it from what they said.

The tracks seriously need remastering though, half the Beatles catalogue sounds like it was mastered by an inbred deaf pissed up fuck wit. The mastering on Sgt Pepper is so bad I have to listen to the mono mix.
