Metallica helping the Beatles???

[Droosies]

With the news that most of Guitar Hero - Metallica is finally porting over to the main grouping, I would pay CLOSE attention to sales numbers if I were the guys over at Harmonix. A spike in sales and a figure on the number of export fees purchased could prove useful in getting the people in charge of the masters to at least consider allowing TBRB to port over to the main game. Anyone else think this could ultimately help us get exports of Beatles, or am I still hoping for nothing?

My guess would be "hoping for nothing".

I really don't think exporting is nearly as big a selling point to the general public as people here think it is.

This. It won't make a difference for TB:RB is it does to Metallica.

go ahead and pay attention to those sales #'s and let us know how it goes. It's cute that people on these forums actually think that exporting matters to the general public, but they couldn't care less.

The Beatles: Rock Band, according to NPD #'s, has sold somewhere close to 1.8 million units thus far. If you were able to export the songs to Rock Band from the beginning, I bet it wouldn't even push the total over 1.9 million.

People who obsess over exporting on message boards aren't as important as they think they are.

Exactly. I still don't get the selling point for exporting a band specific game into a general, generic game. I don't even want this. I want to put in TB:RB and see the great dream sequences, and the beatles themselves, Not BuzzSaw Billy and his crappy bandmates playing A Day In The Life. It is already bad enough that they can play Jet! & Band On The Run.

Why do you want to export it OP? Do you think you will end up playing the game more? Or making better use of the songs? Instead of just swapping game discs? I do not understand the need the for this. And everyone on here has already stated this, but I will repeat, THE MASS AUDIENCE OF THIS GAME DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THIS. They are most likely not music game fanatics, or even video game fanatics for that matter. They are families who work, and have other responsibilities, and play a game on a slight occasion, when they can. Just because I play this game a ton, I do not represent the main audience, I am pretty sure about that. Hopefully sooner than later all this export nonsense will stop. Enjoy the game you have, complain about more DLC, not some feature which majority of the people won't even know exists.

To be honest, after playing some classic rock tracks in RockBand 2, it makes me wish that every band could have dream sequences and that every artist could be represented as they appeared when the recording was made.

Rock Band released a lego game and a game dedicated to Green Day. Both exported completely.

Harmonix knows what to expect should they allow The Beatles: Rock Band to export.

Guitar Hero is trying to catch up.

No Beatles on RB3. NO NO NO!. I don't want american phil or whoever to play a day in the life like dozer said. The Beatles have tehre own game that's special plus the dreamscapes and there own story mode. I can deal with jet and band on the run in RB2 and imagine in RB3 (I guess) But no Beatles in RB3 unless you can somehow magically make the beatles appear in RB3. Or if you put Beatles in Rb3 it means more DLC which won't happen.

Just... why? Now that we have a keyboardist to handle the more unorthodox arrangements like from the Sgt. Pepper album, I'd go so far as to say that every song in The Beatles Rock Band would look better coming from the Rock Band avatars than "Imagine".
