"Complete" Discography?

[Dizzy8Atmosphere]

The original Beatles albums, with the 2 CD Past Masters set of singles and other unreleased British non-album track totals around 220 songs (including LOVE and Let it Be. . . Naked). At the current pace of Rock Band DLC output, assuming HMX split their current resources in two, Rock Band 2 and The Beatles; Rock Band would each receive 4ish tracks a week. It is conceivable that the entire Beatles official catalogue plus other material could be released in DLC form before the end of 2010. I don't think it is likely, but if enough effort was put in to establish this game and make it the best that it could be, many would appreciate it and sales would definitely benefit.

I would support receiving fewer regular updates in favor of a more even split of Beatles tracks, but other fans might be upset. Your thoughts?

I doubt we'll see it all as DLC. Would be nice though. I'll take it anyway they dish it out - as long as they dish out a lot and keep it comin'.

[Dizzy8Atmosphere]

I don't think it would happen unless it made a killing, but it definitely is possible within a fairly short amount of time. We don't know what they will already have prepared for the release. Abbey Road will be released sometime before the end of the year, and with the on-disc tracks and "All You Need is Love," that is already one-quarter of the catalogue to begin with.

It certainly is possible. I think they'll do it, but they may want to expand it over the coarse of a year. Maybe have them all out before RB3 comes out.

[ShadowChaosControl]

it would take a while, but hopefully they can be done in time for RB3, so they can focus on that

I can see TB:RB having about a one year DLC cycle. No matter how you cut it (small weekly releases, monthly album releases, a fortnightly mixture of tracks etc.) they would struggle to get more than a year out of it. It's no huge issue, though; it's not as if the DLC goes anywhere after its put onto XBL/PSN/Wii equivalent.

HMX has stated that they can complete 10 tracks a day. And remember, they've been keeping on top of regular RB tracks while doing the tracks for TB:RB and Lego RB, each game worth about two and a half months of RB2 DLC releases.

[HeavyHorse]

They'll definitely release as much as possible. I'm not sure about a complete discography, but I can assure you that you'll have a thick amount of TB:RB DLC to dive into.

Are you also counting Free as a Bird and Real Love?

[HarrisonFan]
