Harmonix: Beatles: Rock Band is the Brian's Song of videogames

Destructoid writes: "While at MTV yesterday to see a near-final build of The Beatles: Rock Band, I asked Harmonix PR guru John Drake to elaborate on something I'd heard from community manager Sean Baptiste during E3. According to Baptiste, the final movie for the game's story mode is just as mind-blowing as the opening cinematic that premiered at E3. He went as far as to say, "If you don't cry when you see it, you don't have a soul," calling the entire experience of The Beatles: Rock Band "the Brian's Song of videogames."

Drake agreed with that sentiment ("It is the Brian's Song of videogames! That's well said!"), noting that the end sequence was put together by Passion Pictures, the same production house that created the intro movie. He wouldn't show it to me, but to be honest, I didn't ask, and I would've declined if he had offered; I'd like to see it for the first time in-game. Instead, he told me that the movie "riffs off the beginning and takes it to a different level, and just is ... the best way to end a game I've ever seen." Boy, they sure know how to hype their stuff, don't they?"
