The Beatles: ROCK BAND - Rumors and Facts

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

Not necessarily. It says DLC may be available for the Beatles game. If the masters aren't in shape to be separated (particularly the drums) then they may be innovating a new way to play the game with "broken" masters. If that's the case, then the DLC won't be compatible with Rock Band 1/2 unless they patch it to handle the new format. It's still a waiting game...

I read somewhere that an HMX employee said separated drum masters are not too vital. The Who masters weren't separated, so I doubt they would be too picky with The Beatles.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

How does a rerelease of CDs change the possibility of songs from the Beatles game being exported exactly?

If the tracks have been truly remastered (as claimed in the article) and the old masters were unusable, then that means that songs that may have not been usable in Rock Band 2 without a patch will now be usable. I was in the camp that the reason the Beatles had a separate game wasn't just an ego issue from the band members, but more of HMX needing to re-engineer the game engine to work with masters they couldn't previously work with. When the title was changed to include Rock Band, I had a feeling they may have found a way to use the same engine with the masters, and this gives a little more reason for my suspicion. I could be dead wrong, but only time will tell.

That's actually more important than the game imo. Finally being able to pick up the Beatles music in glorious remastered-ness will be great!

If the remasters are as good as the Love release... I will be getting them all... again.

I wonder how many copies of the same CDs I have. I know for sure I have four different versons of The Who's "Who's Next" album.

Anyway, I may only get their last five or so of the remasters since I like those better than their early work...

I'd still love to hear how the remasters of the early stuff work out though.

Me, too. I would leave out Let it Be, though, and get Let it Be... Naked though. But that one is a fairly recent release and probably wouldn't be much different from the 09 ones.

Remasters might not necessarily be a good thing with the way the loudness war has been going...

[Robondacob]

I heard there will be lots of Beatles songs.

actually, I've heard that is just a rumor. I've received word from a reliable source that this game is actually going to consist only of ABBA and Alan Parsons Project songs.

I am hoping Apple is smarter than that... afterall, I do have a volume control on my receiver.

I don't think "Love" had any problems with it, so I assume these remasters done by Martin will have the full sonic range and not be clipped...

Why would there be Alan Parsons in a Beatles game?
