The Beatles: Rock Band looks amazing

[wwwes]

First, I'm REALLY sorry for a THIRD thread about Rock Band.

But come on, this is ridiculously cool:

Awesome video.

It's amazing how much video game technology has advanced over the span of 20 years.

Set list revealed. Alarmingly low on Revolver, but the inclusion of Hey Bulldog and Good Morning Good Morning helps.

Supposedly, the last song on the list will be The End, but that hasn't been confirmed. The entire Abbey Road medley will be playable as one really long track, though.

I'm disappointed by the exclusion of their most underrated song, Old Brown Shoe.

[wwwes]

They are providing downloadable content. I'd love it if they offered the ability to get the entire Past Masters 2 album, but they'll probably release it in little bits and pieces. I'm sure Old Brown Shoe is coming.

The most interesting part of the downloadable songs is that they've said they're going to do Sgt. Pepper. I'm curious to know how they would possibly interpret She's Leaving Home to be played with a plastic guitar. Not curious enough to buy it, of course.

No sitar songs? Weak.

"It's All Too Much" would've been a great choice.

[Gilly]

This is easily going to be my favorite game in a long long time, if not ever.

Guitar Hero / Rock Band
is fun for one night with your friends
then it sucks

but playing "I'm looking through you" sounds awesome.

BS. I've been playing Rock Band for over a year now and I love it! You must not be very good at it

When is the Hoagiefest edition coming out?

[masterofsparks]

I'm boycotting this game if they snub You Know My Name, Look Up the Number.

[erika]

I won't snub, but I may scoff for a moment.

[Gilly]

I've heard that every album will sooner or later be available as downloadable content with Abbey Road being available on day one. I don't know how that's going to work for a couple songs, but I hope that's true.

The cinematic trailer for this game.  One of the best trailers I've ever seen for any media whatsoever.

[wwwes]

It happened again. Third trailer is even better than anything else we've seen. Helter Skelter looks like it will be all kinds of awesome, and the While My Guitar Gently Weeps video is a dark mirror of Here Comes The Sun, which is a really inspired choice.

Gilly, I don't think EVERY track is promised to be available, but I know that their contract is open-ended, so I imagine it could be. I know that the Apple Corps shareholders have said they really like the fact that the game offers a really deep connection with each song (as opposed to, say, an iPod shuffle), so it's definitely possible they'll just let them keep offering as many as they want.
