DLC Speculation

[UmbrellaInc]

Well, either Harmonix is still working on DLC or they aren't. I (like many many others) don't think they'll stop supporting The Beatles this soon.

To explain the delay, I'm hoping they're working on something like this:

A Hard Day's Night / Help! film track pack.
A DLC pack consisting of songs from these two movies. Instead of just being songs + dreamscapes like DLC released thus far, this pack will have some new features:
- new story mode that follows the films
- in lieu of dreamscapes, including settings FROM the films like: the train in AHDN, the stage from their performance in AHDN, studio in Help!, apartment in Help! (complete with goofy sunken couch ), skiing scene, bahamas scene, etc.
- new unlockable photographs regarding the movies
- film clips from the movies
- new achievements!

This would explain why it's taking them a bit longer than we hoped to release more DLC. It would also expand on the songlist, and add songs from albums that are under-represented on-disc. (I count 2 songs from AHDN and 1 from Help!).

This might be a pipe dream, but I think it's a really good idea. Are you reading this, Harmonix?

It's a pipe dream unless you're dealing with an expansion disk, because it'd be a complete download of a rather large size, and wouldn't be supported on the Wii because it'd require a patch to the regular version of the game. Beyond that, now you need movie license rights as well.

This is not to say it's not a cool concept, just not happening.

[DookieMan]

Unlikely, but yeah. I wouldn't even need all this. I just hope they continue great DLC the same way they have with the first three.

[CaptainKicker]

Would be very awesome, but we're lucky if they even release more DLC.

But, its a cool thought.

[gamegyro56]

Your speculation is way off.

[deadpool247]

New achievements and photos would be a nice touch, but I doubt they're gonna add film footage.

The reason for the wait is more than likely twofold:
1. long break over the holidays, which pushes things back a month or so
2. extensive work on getting the RBN up and running - I'm sure that was a HUGE effort!

It would be awesome but i believe it's so hard to do i don't think they'd do it. I saw this in my dream about 2 days ago i was playing Help! The Video Game

1. - according to the rumours, all album DLC were made BEFORE the game was out. So that means, that they have had nearly 5 month to make new DLC.
2. Yeah, and Green Day: Rock Band might have take some effort + Rock Band 3?

[CCDaDon]

Wouldn't happen. The game engine does not allow any type of new resources to be added in the game or in DLC. And that's not something you can just "patch".
