Harmonix confirms it's focusing on The Beatles video game, with Rock Band 3 pushed on the back-burner...
Gamers looking forward to a third annual instalment to MTV Games' Rock Band 3 will have to wait a little longer, as Harmonix has today confirmed that the title won't be arriving in 2009.
Making the announcement at a conference during the CES 2009 in Las Vegas, Harmonix co-founder Alex Rigopolous revealed the studio was instead focusing on the upcoming game based on The Beatles, announced towards the end of 2008.
During the interview, picked up by Crispy Gamer, Rigopolous added another reason for Rock Band's 2009 hiatus: “We’ve actually made a choice to break out of the annual release cycle for Rock Band this year...[This is] partly because the annual cycle places limits on the choices you can make as a developer. We’re trying to take a long term view.”

why dont they bring out a heavy metal rock band game, sure rock band 1 and 2 both have fairly heavy songs in them but no dark, goth, thrash, nu metal. come on harmonix takse us to the dark side of rock.

No details on that as yet. The Abbey Road DLC is due to come shortly after release though, so it obviously won't be integral to the boxed copy's career mode. It might have added story elements or something, but we'll have to wait for more info on that.

I think that for a full priced game, the song list is a little short. I love all the songs that Harmonix has chosen for the game, but only 45 songs can't really explain the whole career of The Beatles.
(One question, Will the downloadable content be usable in hte Story/Career mode of The Beatles; Rock Band?)

INSTANT BUY. Been waiting my whole life to be like The Beatles. I hope this inspires me to pick up my guitar and play it again. Can't wait to rock out as the Beatles, the greatest band EVAR! Beatles Forever, rock will never die. Gotta keep this good feeling going!!!!
