    Let me make this clear first, yes, literally, a new Beatles music game will come out.

    Now, Harmonix has recently announced they will be creating a new game in an exclusive collaboration. It will be developed by Harmonix, and is planned to be released in Q4 2008 during the holiday shopping city. But one thing is being made clear, this will not be a Rock Band title.

    Harmonix co-founder, Alex Rigopoulos, had to say, "Let me make this clear. This game is not just a Rock Band expansion pack. It's a full, new music game built from the ground up." He said this referring to the AC/DC Rock Band track pack. He did confirm, though, that it will still be compatible with the Rock Band instruments as well as "instruments from other games." However, no instruments were mentioned.

    It sure pisses me off, to be honest. I'll probably buy the game, but (if it is in fact true) if I can't play these songs on Rock Band, then Harmonix better start hiring a ton of customer service workers to answer all the complaint calls.

    I'll be annoyed if I can't import the songs into rock band 2, although the amount they keep going on about it not being a rock band game it's beginning to look like I'm going to be annoyed.

    Dude, come on! It would make sense to make it an expansion to Rock Band, since HMX is building their huge "music catalog."
