Activision and MTV Games in talks for Beatles catalog

I was struck by the pure fanboism and idiocy of your comment to the point where I can't even come up with a witty comeback.

Oh well, let's wait for Nato or Fenix.

Jakka, are you really trying to say that you ONLY want to play guitar parts on Beatles songs? Name me one Beatles song where playing only guitar would be far more entertaining than being able to sing the vocals, and I'll name you ten where the guitar part is not very interesting.

Didn't you know? Jakka automatically likes every game the masses hate like halo, guitar hero and Treyarch developed COD games. Ignore him.

The argument itself is valid, though I don't agree with the reasoning.

The Beatles have never been known for their furious guitar work. While Guitar Hero: World Tour (aka "Guitar Hero: In Name Only (Brand Recognition Edition") could get a promotional coup by including Beatles music, Rock Band has the established user base and the sales figures that support the a la carte line of distribution.

GH:WT works in theory, as it's expanding an already established successful product. However, this isn't just a disc....Activision would need to convince the powers that be that they can push World Tour and it's all new, likely to be incompatible, peripherals onto a userbase that's likely already deeply invested in Rock Band.

Though I don't know where to get the numbers to support it...I have a hunch a large majority of the rhythm game fan base bought Rock Band at launch or shortly thereafter.

But if it's all about money in the long run, the surest bet is to just do what many bands have done and provide music to BOTH. Why hitch your wagon to a single horse when you know for a FACT that both companies are likely chomping at the bit to include your music if you let them.

@ Tmac

That's because the amount of hate these games are getting is just retarded.The fact that people are willing to use such a dumb comeback like Guitar Queero only proves my point.Same with Treyarch's CoD hate because if I remeber correctly, Big Red One was pretty fucking awesome.

Speaking of hate bandwagons, how's your relationship with Nintendo?

It's going uhh...good?

IMO they don't get enough hate and not nearly as much as they deserve this gen, but it's fine cause it's not like I'm one of the ones getting raped by them.

Please go educate yourself on music before making stupid, childish comments.

...played bass

I would assume this would be for GHWT.

The Beatles (P McCarney)already settled forlike 400 million, they're releasing the catalog thi year I think. This waspretty big news

"On 8 May 2006 the court ruled in favor of Apple Computer,[8] with Justice Mann holding that “no breach of the trademark agreement [had] been demonstrated."

So Apple Corps lost, as Apple Computer was arguing that they were selling digital not physical content.
