    Music is important but gameplay the most important. Will this game be nice to play ?

    Only like the flying while shooting part.

    Im a little Disappointed. I think it would have been fantastic if they managed to implement changes in music when you changed states between running and flying. They would pick up the bass or pick up the strings from the switching between the two or something like that. Music goes along way in a GOOD game. Needless to say Im still anxious too see how this game turns out.

    This is a good idea, switches up the music some. The only part is that on some games you got to know the music and you could actually hum along to it sometimes and that was fun. But really that isnt that big of a concern as long as they make this as good as it looks right now.

    This might be one of those games that requires a soundtrack. That stuff is great!

    Bear McCreary is part of what made Battlestar Galactica such a wonderful and memorable show. I find myself frequently whistling tracks from the show. Hearing how he is the composer for this game, I think I will definitely follow this title more. Music, is one of the most important aspects that make a game, show, or movie fantastic. Nothing irks me more than a game soundtrack that grates on the ears and makes me want to take an impact drill to my ears.

    This game just keeps looking better and better every time I see it. I NEED to get my hands on it. NEEEEED!!! This is going to be one of those titles that I'm going to have to establish with the girlfriend that under no circumstance is it to be sold, traded in or otherwise ever again be removed from my possession.

    the score is looking really nice.
    I like better this style than his previous works.
    The game should be fun, since it's from the makers of Crimson Skies.

    Excellent choice for a composer. I love the BSG soundtrack. I think my favorite piece is "A Good Lighter" or "Pascaglia."

    the last thing I want to hear when gaming is individuals playing in an orchesrta, this is great news because now I will know from the very beginning of the game just to switch the music OFF.

  • bennyboy3377

    this game is going to epic!! it also sound like the music is going to be good to.

  • greasemonkey42

    Posted Apr 2, 2009 12:16 am GMT

    Intruiging as I don't really here much about music in games! But listening to everything he said all seemed to make sense. I'll definitely appreciate what he's doing when I play through the game.

    btw this looks to be shaping up really well

  • Verbex

    Posted Apr 1, 2009 11:56 pm GMT

    I'm actually really impressed the way he explained how important music is for a game, and I completely agree. Just knowing how the music works, by trying to be different everytime, while being under the control of the player is, for me, a good reason on it's own to try it out. That, and the game looks absolutely epic! Did you see the way you fly!? Holy ______! That looks sweet! Hopefully the controls back it up respectively.

    I've been saying this for years now... the man is a genius. Pretty much a Mozart of our times. The Dark Void developers are way lucky for getting him on board at this point, because his career is just taking off and going to go way beyond your average cinema composer.
