MTV's Beatles game to feature 'early days' and 'psychedelic' periods

I am unbelievably excited for this game.

It sounds like they are really striving to recreate the experience. I hope there's a level where I'm playing bass as McCartney in the studio, when suddenly the track gets all screwy. The camera pans over and you see that Yoko has snuck into the studio, taken off her clothes and John's clothes, and are making simulated sex sounds into the mic.

If I activate overdrive with a 6x multiplier, then I am able to club them to death with my bass while still finishing the song successfully.

I'm hoping to see a Yoko voice track with youtube videos of everyone trying it and breaking into tears half way through. That would just be awesome!

OK, what did I say so wrong? Didn't know there were lots of Yoko Ono fans out there.

Humm, I thought the final boss would be Mark Chapman.

Maybe that's in a side story.

Anyone who had to follow either the "Final Boss" link or the "BIC Lighter" link should really just be dragged to the street.

There are barely any GH fanboys. The RB ones are the ones which are the most annoying...

Yes, that was the joke.

The final boss should be the real Paul McCartney, back from the dead. That would be epiccccccccccc.






(yes, I know it's a stupid rumor)

There are at least 5.

You can't count.

No there are but 2. You can't think.

Even if you include the AC/DC one, which is basically just a DLC pack but in a retail box, there's not 5.

There's also the (at least) two track packs.

If you guys want to include the new greatest hits game from Guitar Hero as a whole new game, then you guys must include the track packs and AC/DC. Which makes at least 5.

Yes, but that isn't what ended the beatles.

It ended any chance of a reunion.

Too soon? It's been nearly thirty years. Just too obvious.

Last time I checked Neversoft only started developing the game in 2007 when Guitar Hero 3 was released. I don't think there's a single person who thinks GH 3 was better than GH 1 or 2 (and let's not talks about our musical tastes here, ok?), which were developed by Harmonix. The same guys who made Rock Band.

But you are entitled to your own opinion, so let's leave it at that.

I'm well aware, and actually a lot of people thought GH3 was better than GH2 and Rock Band. For expert level guitar work, it doesn't get better than GH3. I prefer the way Neversoft handles hammer-ons and note patterns to how Rock Band does it. Red Octane also makes much better peripherals than Harmonix/MTV/EA (whoever makes the significantly lower quality Rock Band instruments).

Rock Band does have better 'party' songs, though, and the Rock Band download service is unmatched. But, GH has better solo and versus songs. The characters and menus also look nicer and more 'grown-up' in Rock Band. Oh, GH also has too much emo.

Honestly, I realize it all comes down to opinion. I personally like playing more difficult and fun songs since I don't often get 4 people to play the full game. For me, I'll take the song I've never heard before that has a great note pattern over a song I love that isn't that much fun to play. The exception being The Beatles. I know that game won't have the best note patterns (it'll be easy and repetitive), but it's the Beatles.

I GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS!

I just want a hi def version of that movie. I can't even find it from the last dvd release. :(

All thanks to Bob Dylan.

It'll have reel to reel tape recorder peripherals for multitracking

This has nothing to do with Activision except that Activision bought the rights to Guitar Hero from these guys, then promptly made GH3, GH:OT, GH:WT, etc.
