Money making scam. I'll still buy it.

it'll be pretty hard to master the sweep picking

Wow sounds hard...

lol i was thinking basically the same thing jumptheF**kup

The drumming is mad technical I hear.

At least singing it will be sorta fun. I think.

Playing songs I like is way more fun than playing hard songs on guitar hero/rock band.

And anything post Rubber Soul is reasonably interesting music wise anyway.

I AM THE WALRUS!

game will suck and only have a few good songs

"Playing songs I like is way more fun than playing hard songs on guitar hero/rock band."

...a lot of people like those songs.

but seriously this will be boring as hell.

lets just hope it doesn't suck like guitar hero aerosmith.

Sounds boring, very much like a money-making scheme and also like a really good opportunity to make a good game, which won't happen.

The drumming is mad technical I hear.

lol at people who like Avenged Sevenfold and Paramore trashing The Beatles. Blasphemy.

"bla blah blah the Beatles suck blah blah blah it's a scam"
Wrong on the first, fairly right on the second. It still gives me another reason to buy Rock Band (they do have pick the right songs of course)

F*CK YES! I freakin' love The Beatles!

f*** opinions, if you say the beatles suck, you don't like music.

if you say the Beatles suck then you don't like listening to the Beatles

I probably will never understand the appeal of that whole rock band thing. but I don't care that much either, just go on making real music ;)
oh yes, I think there has been enough money made with the beatles, they can stop it now.

game will suck

and only have a few good songs

if Tommorow Never Knows is on it, then i'll buy it for that reason

'what goes on' has cool guitar-ing. later lennon is downright fun too

While it won't be as 'fun' or 'technical' as some other GH/RB songs, this will still be a blast. Vocals will obviously be killer, and I hope they do harmonies with this version. Guitar wise, the rhythm part to "All My Loving" is basic chord wise but very fast, the shuffle groove to "What Goes On" will give the drummers sore arms, and pretty much any bass part post Rubber Soul will be pretty technical anyways.

I like playing these type of games, but never buy them, rather investing into real shit. Though my family will probably love to get this anyway, we're all Beatles fanatics.

isnt gonna be fun to play

unless they add some mad solos to a day in the life or something i dunno

First off, The Beatles are awesome.

Second off, did any of you actually READ the article? This isnt Rock Band, or Guitar Hero, or anything like it. Its a new, ground up game, that, and, according to the conference:

"Visual exploration of the Beatles will be a big part of the game"

Granted, they said that it will be compatible with Rock Band instruments, and contain some Rock Band-ish elements, so maybe it will be exactly the same with different branding, I dont know. I doubt that they would do that, though. And, based on the "Visual exploration" comment, this sounds to me sort of like the video game equivalent of Across The Universe, which is pretty awesome. This could be great.

level 10: strawberry fields forever

I would actually like to see keyboards implemented.

"Visual exploration of the Beatles will be a big part of the game"

finally, a game i can play whilst tripping balls.

What in the hell, this could have just as easily been downlaodable content and saved the games fans some money but here we go again with another band specific game just like AC/DC rock band. Nice for going all guitar hero on us. I thought the reason for downloadable songs was so we wouldn't be paying for things like this?

Michael Jackson is gonna be getting a shitload of money...

Money making scheme? Some of you people are just plain retarded. What do you think Rock Band was? A money making scheme?

I certainly hope your implying that the developers are the one's trying to rake in on the money. I'm pretty sure Paul wipes his ass with money.

And it couldn't be downloadable content because by the sounds of it it's going to be more than just the songs. Did anyone read the article?

And to anyone who says it's going to be easy fuck off. There are plenty of perfectly good songs for each instrument. Helter Skelter will be awesome, I Want You (She's So Heavy) is a 7 minute blues solo pretty much, Good Morning rocks hard, Yer Blues, I'm guessing most of you assumed "I Want To Hold Your Hand" is the Beatles only song...perhaps you should listen to these "The Beatles."

The Beatles are awesome and this will be a fun-ass game.
