The Beatles: ROCK BAND - Rumors and Facts

[Bluestreak]

You're not alone my friends, I too was hoping for Rhythm guitar in this game, seeing it makes sense making it an authentic beatles experience. Hopefully it won't lead to no rhythm guitar for the next 5 RB games.

Although the guy pulls away right at the perfect moment, it seems like "I've got blisters on my fingers!" is in Helter Skelter, and it is charted to the main vocal (but Ringo's avatar does say it and it also looks like he throws his drumsticks away while doing it).

There's also some (admittedly very low quality) footage of Hello Goodbye (note: contains funny dancing a la the promo video), Yellow Submarine and Twist And Shout.

Props to whoever took the footage!

I'm so glad they put that in! I'm actually very pleased with how Helter Skelter came out. At least from what I can see...

Rhythm guitar is kinda boring to play in RB. I don't know how they'd get anything above medium difficulty in most of the songs. Press 2-3 buttons, strum for 3 seconds, press 2-3 more, strum for 3 more,...

Kinda disappointedf with how they end "Taxman." I love how it launches back into the guitar solo at the end; can't believe they ended it before that. I guess the quick fadeout at the end left few options, though.

I was thinking how would Lennon and Harrison feel if they could see the game.

I mean, the four of them together, talking about this game.

Watching the Gameplay videos it's like seeing them as a band forever.

/emo, lol.

The ending in the game is the ORIGINAL ending The guitar solo in the end was only an edit in the album version, if you listen to the Anthology version it's got the original ending, of course a fade out doesn't give any problem (just look at Helter Skelter gameplay video)

Just got back from playing the demo, and I can't stop grinning. So awesome. When I got to play Paul's bass parts for the first time, it was magic.

Two thoughts, not sure if there's any weight here since this is a first impression after only one play through of each song.

I didn't find the game to be super easy on Expert. I'm not in the elite of players by any stretch, but I'm not that bad at the game. I thought the songs were just fine challenge-wise. It certainly wasn't such a walk in the park that I came away convinced I'd be GS'ing the whole setlist in no time.

And speaking of gold stars, are they still in the game? Did it feel to anyone else that they've tightened up the scoring? I missed 3 notes on one song, and barely got a 5 star. 97% another, got 4 stars. If it's so close to get a 5 star, if GS are still in, I wonder if they are band only or what. My only 100% came when I was playing with a drummer on Medium, who knows if I would have GS'd there.

No big deal if they aren't in, just curious if we know for a fact they are still in.

Or my first impressions may be completely off base. I have an itch to go back to Best Buy and try some more.

(I play Bass, btw)
