Can't wait. The Beatles are the best band ever, and it's about time that their loyal fans will finally get a chance to tunelessly kareoke to their greatest hits.

Also what's up with the "Tobacco References" warning on the video? That's going too far.

 

[Sir Ollie]

Yes, yes and YES!

 

[Brotherofwill]

Awesome, those are some good songs.

 

[stabnex]

WOW! OWNED! I'd never thought much of Rock Band until now. But I think I found my first purchase! FUCKING SWEET!

The video you got there was a nice touch, though it sorta cramps the story stuffed on the side like that.

But as for the content of the news: YELLOW SUBMARINE.

That was all I needed to hear.

EDIT: Yeah, after messing with the code, I have to wonder why you didn't center it. I guess it's just my preference, but I like things centered.

 

[cleverlymadeup]

this looks like it might be a good one, i think they'll make you sing in harmony too

 

[Ophiuchus]

I was completely sold from the moment it was announced, so this just provides further reason to be excited. There's no way this could possibly go wrong.

 

[HardRockSamurai]

If Rock Band 2 didn't sell me on the concept, Rock Band Beatles has, in spades!

Well, I'm off to sell a few organs in the black market!

Yes, absolutely no possible way. They've just put new music in an existing game so this is a guaranteed hit. If people can swallow the price tag.

Best Pop Writers who have ever lived

 

[Plinglebob]

The main reason I'm buying this is to try and get my Dad into a game as he's a big Beatles fan

 

[HobbesMkii]

I like how in the video, Ringo wears that same dopey smile throughout. I can almost imagine his thought processes Wow... this is really cool...So...I guess I'm like a major rock star now...I wonder why the drums are so far back on the stage? I'm like miles away from the other guys... etc. etc.

It's too bad that there are still only four parts to play. They ought to let you cover both guitars and the bass, and allow up to five players.

Me too... anyone a kidney??

 

[Bassman_2]

And I was hoping for "And I Love Her", maybe we'll find out later.

They do allow 3 singers (each singing a different harmony), so you can have up to 6 players. A second guitar would have been great, though.

I was really hoping for Yellow Submarine and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, looks like I won't be disappointed. This game just keeps looking better and better.

 

[Paulrus_Keaton]

I feel like watching Yellow Submarine again. Twas a good movie.

 

[Radu889]

I'd get this just to play Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band with my friends.
