Look at this: http://www.thebeatlesrockband.com/cinematic.php

And this:

And then reflect on what I'm already so excited about I shake when I watch those.

Also, can we not devolve into the whole "The Beatles songs aren't going to copy over to my other Rock Band, that's s00p3r g@y!" please? I just want to talk about this game, and how awesome it looks.

And... Go.

One of the games at the top of my want list. The art style looks bloody superb. Can't wait.

This is one of my most wanted games this year.

The Beatles are completely awesome, and Rock Band is completely awesome, how could it get any better than this?

The Beatles are one of my favorite bands, so it's a no brainer that i'm picking this up, put that alongside the fact that I have always loved Harmonix' games, and am a huge fan of Rock Band, and it seems like another no brainer.

You can tell this game was put together by talented, and dedicated musicians, and that's what I believe makes Harmonix games stand out from the GH and band-dedicated GH games, Harmonix is made up of musicians, this game screams beatles, it doesn't just feature likenesses of them and the music, everything about it, from the interface to the animations on screen, scream The Beatles.

I'm really looking forward to the campaign that follows them and features studio chat, unheard jams from in the studio, and all sorts of extra features.

I'm actually really excited about this one. I've only really started listening to The Beatles recently. My mom is a huge Beatles fan and she's been getting me into them. I think the fact that in a little while, I'll be able to play all their music in Rock Band is a great way to really introduce me to them. I think it would be good for anybody who hasn't really listened to The Beatles that much. I'm definitely buying this one.

I still would've gotten and enjoyed this game nonetheless, it looks great. But THE deal maker is the THREE MICROPHONE HARMONIZING. That is just INCREDIBLE, I LOVE IT!

This is definitely one my most wanted list, I can't wait!

I've never been overly interested in Rock Band, but this is VERY TEMPTING!

Oh Joe, you and your silly vendettas ;p.

I'm pretty psyched for the game and the new Hofner Viola bass controller.

I think the next Rock Band game should be Led Zeppelin or maybe Pink Floyd.

Oh God, if they could get Zep, that'd be the craziest thing eve

I totally agree Joe. Harmonix wins every time. I personally think Red Octaine is driving Guitar Hero into the ground. I played Rock Band for about 10 minutes at a Best Buy, then headed over to a friends house to play Guitar Hero: World Tour. I had a vastly better time with RB for ten minutes than I did with GH for about three hours. It really shows that Harmonix was the genius behind the GH franchise.

Looks pretty good, but a tad 'cartoony'. I don't know why, but it does to me.
Oh, and Rock Band: Hendrix FTW.

Like... Cartoony in the sense that they've all got that Rock Band style design to them? I see what you mean, but I like it. It's close enough to reality to look like The Beatles without being crazy real and dipping into the uncanny valley.

Yeah, that's it. They still look better than they would if Activision got the rights to make the game.

I was never in to the Guitar Hero / Rockband games, mainly due to the lack of songs I actually want to hear (And I'm not about to go modding our PS2 and burn a new Guitar Hero disk with good songs), but this has me interested. I love the Beatles, so I'm probably going to have to pick this up.

I loved in the trailer, when they do "I am the Walrus" they had the crazy outfits. Actually, I loved how their appearance changed throughout the trailer as songs from later years were being palyed.

And it is, I don't know what it was that didn't seem right at first to me.
