Today, during a rather excellent podcast on DLC, Harmonix representatives spoke at length about the Beatles game, sharing some interesting insights in the production process at Abbey Road. They also spoke about the possibility of future DLC. They said that working with the Beatles could be 'glacially paced'.
"We know that you want more Beatles DLC. We want more to. We're going to continue passing that info from the forums to the music ops team."
While this isn't the same as saying "remaining albums, available tomorrow" (which is what we all want), it is enough to confirm that Harmonix are still interested in The Beatles brand and that, with a little luck, we could be buying new songs some time in the future.
"The rhythm action game is probably the best example of a genre which killed itself through market saturation. "
The Marb looks back on The Beatles: Rock Band and assess whether the rhythym action game did the legnedary band justice.
VGW's Brian Shea: "The notion of downloadable content is commonplace in today’s landscape of launch-day DLC and season passes, but prior to 2007, to have a legitimate, laid-out plan to support a console game post-launch was not a common occurrence. Harmonix, a company that was in the midst of a transition away from the most popular franchise in the industry at the time, Guitar Hero, had a vision for a brand new IP that would eventually revolutionize the concept of downloadable content."
We all do it – well those of us of legal drinking age; invite some friends around, have a few drinks and then break out the console to get our video game on. According to Craig Bryan; here is a list of the perfect alcoholic accompaniments for a night of fun and frolics.
playing games drunk is the worst thing ever, reactions are to slow and falling asleep and leaving your console on all night! wake up with 5000 messages, take away food all around you and feeling like poop looking at your online stats wondering how bad you played :( bad times
I'd mostly only bother with music and sports games , the rest not at all , besides indeed buzz
Would love to get some more Beatles DLC, I finished everything the game has to offer and am more then ready for some more.
I hope so
I'd buy Hey Jude in a heartbeat. LOVE The Beatles! And I still play the game every once in awhile when I'm in the mood.
*cough* Keys *cough*
Good God, HMX, get a clue about this.
TB:RB wasn't as well received because you have absolutely REFUSED to allow the tracks to be imported into other RB games, even when you have put everything that was in TB:RB into the main game by now, and you have ways to make sure people will buy the actual game (not that I agree with said ways, but I'm trying to make a point here).
Seriously, I get that The Beatles were this iconic band that should be put on a grand pedestal, but I could name so many other bands that would deserve just as much of a "honor" as having a game to themselves that no one could ever, EVER, just import the game's tracks onto their HD. I guarantee you'd get a LOT more game buys for the game if you would just give up that damned ghost already.
