Rock Band Beatles: All The Details
Microsoft's E3 press conference started five minutes early to work in extra time for the latest installment in the Rock Band franchise. The Beatles Rock Band was the opening act starting out the show with a video of the intro to the game itself.
One of the most noticeable differences in the game during the live demonstration was that three people were singing at once and harmonizing with the song when there where multiple parts available.
The game looked to have some very smooth animation and solid graphics with the fab four all playing their assigned parts. The videos for each song ranged from live performances in halls and theatres to psychedelic hallucination type videos varying form song to song.
It was then announced that there will be never before heard studio banter from the band making the experience more in depth and involving. Following the announcement Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr came on stage and shared a few words about the game.
Ringo stated "Game is good, Graphics very good, and we were great." Paul also mentioned "[I] never thought we'd end up as androids."
After Olivia Harrison, Yoko Ono, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr had made an appearance it was then announced that there will be 45 songs in the game with full albums available for download later starting with Abbey Road.
Microsoft also announced the first ten songs available:
- I Saw Her Standing There
- I Want To Hold Your Hand
- I Feel Fine
- Day Tripper
- Taxman
- I Am The Walrus
- Back In The U.S.S.R
- Octopus' Garden
- Here Comes The Sun
- Get Back
As an exclusive track Microsoft announced that "All You Need Is Love" will be available for Live members and all proceeds will go to the organization "Doctor's Without Borders".
The Beatles Rock Band will hit store shelves on September 9th. Stay tuned for E3 updates and impressions from Gaming Union.
