SOE seem to have a common forumla for their email addresses. For example, [email protected]

So, if you know their name, you should be able to figure out their email.

Posting here it will likely get picked up by them anyway. I do agree with all of you though: Awesome tracks! And he would definitely be able to keep the PlanetSide vibe in the game.

Anyhow, as you posted the address for Smedley above, from what I hear from inside sources is that he does read all his mail, and tries to reply to as many as possible. So, if you really feel the need to affirm with SOE your opinion about this, Smedley may be a good place to send it. Can even include a link to this topic so he can check out the opinions of the fans here in general.

I really liked the TR tracks from PS1 and the NC was okay but I always thought the VS one was just too bland for such a technology based faction.

Hopefully the new music will be invigorated with more style and techno ology.

I love hearing some of the similar sounds from PS1 in the new PS2 demos, they still have the PlanetSide feel but are definitely very different, I enjoyed them very much, and can't wait to hear more.

I think some old school ambient house and some glitch would be cool for the vs.

Wow, that second post with the opening menu music. Really powerful and really fitting for Planetside in my opinion. I sincerely hope this makes it into the game because it is AWESOME!

Higby!! Get in here and comment.

While I understand where you're coming from, I don't see why just because the Vanu are technologically advanced, that they're music needs to change dramatically to sound 'techno.'

You must keep in mind that it all has to be background music and can't dominate the game. I'm pretty sure that house music or, dare I say, dubstep would distract people from the gameplay sounds like shots and explosions.

Do not like the VS music.

Its just my personal view on the music. The TR had this powerful epic feel which I loved. Having the TR tunes play in your SOI or Sanc was really awesome.
I didn't identify with anything in the VS tracks as "Vanu" (since there wasn't anything in them really).

As I mentioned in that music thread the music for Emperor Battle for Dune was perfect in its identification of the factions and the Ordos specifically is very similar to the Vanu. The music really helped that game become such an awesome thing to play through.

I want that effect for the VS this time, thats all.

Always something amazing to listen to. Really hope these make into Planetside 2 and he can compose more

**Malorn** · 2011-08-22, 08:01 AM

These, like the original music, are spot-on. I can think of only one reason why they wouldn't take Don Ferrone a second time - cost/contract terms. I hope they work out a deal that them both happy. If I don't see Don Ferrone music ill be disappointed. I'm sure Matt & co are reading this thread. Maybe Don too! If so you are awesome Don!

Tigersmith · 2011-08-22, 09:39 AM

This is amazing. love the music already. Ill be open to hearing other submissions tho

That "electric violin" certainly carries a distinct PS vibe for me now. I'd love to see it in PS2's tracks as well...

**Malorn** · 2011-08-22, 10:13 AM

I don't think I can ever hear an electric violin without thinking of Cyssor.
