The Beatles: Rock Band
« on: September 11, 2009, 03:39:12 PM »
I just realized we didn't have a thread about this!? That's unpossible!

Anyone else get it (besides decepticon)? I really want to try out the vocal harmonies mode, but I don't know how well it will work over Xbox Live.

Decepticon made a comment about activating "star power" (actually called Beatlemania in this one) on the drums. Take a look at this video, thing number 5 @2:03 in, I think that will explain the lack of drum fills. I did notice the whammy bar thing and kind of thought that's why the whammy didn't really do anything to the sound (though it does still increase your Beatlemania meter).

Also, there are quite a few songs from the Beatles catalog that are not included on the disc, but will be available for download. "All You Need Is Love" is available now, with 100% of the proceeds going to Doctors Without Borders. Abbey Road (1969) will be available October 20th, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) will be available in November, and Rubber Soul (1965) in December.

"Strawberry Fields Forever" was only released as a single, so they may sneak that one in at any time in between the above mentioned, or after. I think that eventually we'll see all of the Beatles songs available for download, as well as some of the individual Beatles' solo efforts that came afterward.

Sgt Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band is available in the game.  I sang that last night.  It goes into A Little Help From My Friends.

No, I mean the full album will be available. Abbey Road, Rubber Soul, and Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band are all full albums that will be available. I even saw that people who download the full Abbey Road album will have the option of playing the full 16 minute b-side medley non-stop instead of just the individual tracks; unlike a setlist with breaks in between, this would flow from one song to the next seamlessly.

It's kind of lame that you have to pay for these songs that should have been included.

On thing I noticed:  On the back of the manual (for the xbox 360 version at least) there is what appears to be a CD key printed, or what looks like a CD key.  Any idea what that is for?
