Making Of The Beatles: Rock Band Opening Cinematic
Harmonix had a cool holiday treat to share with us this week. They sent over this video detailing the behind-the-scenes story of crafting the opening cinematic for The Beatles: Rock Band. If you’ve been hiding under a rock and haven’t seen the stellar cinematic sequence, you’re missing out. In a few short minutes, it manages to artistically present the sprawling career of The Beatles, right up to a strange psychedelic conclusion. The game released this September on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii. New downloadable content for the game has been releasing ever since, including the complete albums of Abbey Road and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Rubber Soul is scheduled to release next month. Check out the exclusive video, and let us know what you think – how well did Harmonix handle their presentation of The Beatles, both in this cinematic and in the wider game?
