This is about as much information I can find on the subject (I encourage anyone to post anything else if they can find any), but I found this pretty interesting nonetheless...

Something that's worth reading as well, thanks bclare!

Thoughts?

I don't think it'll be an RB game to be honest, considering that it has no mentions of it being specific to that platform. I don't think it'd be a particularly exciting prospect if it was either :/

Packs have been repeatedly misconstrued as a game in the past from gaming-naive journalists, so I always assume a pack when these come up.

But he could also just be composing a soundtrack for an non-music video game.

I see no reason to assume it's a music game, either. Mainstream artists sometimes do music for video games or other media (movies, for instance), and sometimes it works, and more often it doesn't.

That said, Paul McCartney isn't exactly known as an instrumental composer like Jeremy Soule, or Danny Elfman, or even DeadMau5. I find it difficult to envision any video game that could incorporate his preferred style of music without actually being about the music (a la The Beatles Rock Band). Then again, I also think TBRB, GDRB, and especially GH:Van Halen and the Black Eyed Peas Experience are cautionary tales that would make anyone pull the plug on a "Paul McCartney: The Video Game" before it ever got started.

Really neat to see someone like McCartney have interest in something like this. Even though he's most likely doing the soundtrack for a game, I kinda hope that it is something to do with a rhythm game. Also, this German translation is fucking terrible.

I think I'd probably be more excited for Keys, but that's probably because I don't have a pro guitar. However, upgrades/exports for the on disc songs would probably get me to play a lot of the songs again. To be honest, it really isn't worth putting in Beatles just to play a few songs on guitar. >__>
