^ In my somewhat biased opinion ofc ;)


I could be the only fan on the forums but what the hell, wanted to share this heh.
(mp4 here if the youtube vid gets taken down)

The mix of archival footage of the real fab 4, newly shot footage, digital manipulation & possible (not sure which parts, or if at all) body doubles here is really impressive. I'd love to see a "making of" to see exactly how they did this, quite stunning for a video game commercial i think.
Awesome, creepy & sad all in one, especially seeing John & George there as if they're still with us...

Can't wait to see this on the tv :D

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Are you surprised that I'm not watching this? :p

Actually, yep heh. It's very clever how they've done it, just forget who it is. Tis only 30 seconds :p

Besides, if all the releases are publicised how they should be, they'll be everywhere (tv, radio, even xbox live) in a week or so. You won't be able to avoid em then so unless you're gonna live in a box, you might as well just watch it here & now lol. :)
