    Should they have waited for the keyboard controller?

    Do you think The Beatles: Rock Band would have been better if they would've waited and have it support the keyboard controller?

    Now, if they were to patch the game to allow it, and thus releasing more DLC for it?

    No, not  at all it doesnt feel weird playing the piano parts using  guitar on some of the songs in the game already.

    They never used a keyboard? You learn something new every day.... Of course they didn't play piano on every song but there are lots of Beatles songs with piano. I'm not saying force the controller on every song only the ones applicable. She's Leaving Home is a good example because that song is dlc and has no drums in it so they just don't allow you to play with the drum controller.

    They used mellotrons, pianos, hammond organs and moog synthesizers ... I'd say they would be better played with a keyboard controller than a guitar controller.

    The Mellotron basically was a precursor to what is a "keyboard" today, it had pre-recorded instrument samples played by a piano keyboard, though only 6 instruments or so (brass, flute, two kinds of strings and two kinds of choirs are the ones I can remember off hand, could be something more), the only real difference is that modern keyboards use digital samples and sound banks of at least 128 instruments, and the mellotron used a whole lot of tapes instead, which wore out and got out of tune with use.

    " @RE_Player92: I didn't say never, just wasn't ever a very big part of their music, so I meant no they shouldn't have waited for the keyboard controller to come out before they released the game, because there's very little lost from the overall experience by not having it in there. If you follow me. They could potentially have some DLC with songs with bigger piano parts in them I suppose after RB3 comes out.  "
    That _was_ a big part of their music. Not all of their songs - but being one of the first popular bands experimenting with synthesizers, samplers and keyboard style instruments is one of the reasons they are known as such an innovative band, and what influenced so many bands after them.

    While you're clearly joking, I wouldn't be against a follow-up game that focused on the band members after they broke up. They still had a lot of hits even in their solo careers. I wouldn't mind playing those songs, and I'd totally buy the game. I think there's enough good post-Beatles songs to justifiy a game...

    I was not entirely joking.  There are still many songs they can put in a new game plus and excuse to add keyboard support and a full export from the previous game with updated charts... sounds kind of appealing to me.
