E3 09: Rock Band: Beatles allows for three singers at once! photo

This just in: Rock Band: Beatles will support three singers at one time ... and allow them to harmonize together to boot! During the Microsoft press conference -- currently being liveblogged as I type this -- three singers came out on stage to introduce footage of the next, highly anticipated Rock Band game.

In addition, Rock Band: Beatles will feature in-studio chat from the Fab Four themselves that has never been heard before. The first DLC will be Abbey Road in its entirety and all of the proceeds from it will go to Doctors Without Borders.

Check out our liveblog of the Microsoft press conference for more breaking news.

The DLC stuff is sweet. I'm curious about the harmonies stuff, though. Won't the screen get cluttered if there's another vocal track on screen? Or will they handle it more cleverly?

@Deathofthedead I wouldn't necessarily think they'd need another vocal track. most of the time you'd be singing the same words right? Just different pitch indicators maybe?

HEART!

I wasn't allowing myself to hope for harmonizing in Rock Band. What a pleasant surprise!

Three singers at once? Don't know what to say about that. But still this is the Beatles version we're taking about, so I'm sure people would still buy it.

Okay, the screenshots show how it works and it is more clever. Consider my concerns retracted.
