Music


There are many who muted the music in Planetside but for me it took a good couple of years for me to eventually get sick of the music. Even then I generally replaced it with my own or turned it back on for fights; the music gave a really good feeling with empire specific music that held the spirit of each faction.

I'd like to see music have a lot of effort put into it in PS2, obviously I don't expect them to go and get Hans Zimmer to make them a movie score but I'd like to see each Empires music get increased character and to really use 3 different music styles to go with the increased diversity of the 3 Empires in the sequel.

If I had to suggest themes I would have something Military-Industrial for the Terran Republic, something like the Soviet National anthem - powerful music with a lot of choir and authoritarian feel. Either that or some Taiko drums, tracks like this one from Shogun 2 would be excellent for battling in an open area

Other good music would be something similar to Bear McReary's Battlestar Galactica soundtrack, it's pretty powerful and militaristic - it does portray a fallen empire (humanity) struggling against the Cylons after all

As for the New Conglomerate I would go out on a whim and give them music with Middle-Eastern themes since they see themselves as freedom fighters combating against oppression, although this may not be the same as the situation in the Middle East people still correlate the Middle-Eastern music with insurgents and other 'freedom'-fighters/terrorists which is basically what the NC are, something like the GLA Soundtracks from C&C Generals would be awesome for the NC


The VS are slightly harder given their technocracy and alien tech, I don't know what music would fit these, the only music I could think of would be the Protoss soundtrack which really gives the feeling of an ancient, technological species which matches the VS's roots in the Vanu ancients.

I totally agree with this association. It believe it works wonderfully though some musician may know better. I agree because I see Vanu Sovereignty as an immediate evolutionary entity with the understanding that this future (in PlanetSide) has no religion. It is true that the idea of God is part of our nature, and that's what intrigues me for the idea of Vanu Sovereignty: faith in evolution. Though I don't know what the woman says in this tune, it strikes me as highly religious-like, and so fittingly works with me for the VS.

Re: Music


I really liked PS's original music. Re-mix that music again, keep some of it. NC sanctuary music was the best, seemed to capture the essence of the NC.

I was happy to hear similarity to the classic PS music in the trailer. I would just love it if they polished up the old PS music, remixed it a bit and kept it along the same themes. That was great music.

Modernize the NC sanctuary music, remix it and just give that right back to me.

I'm surprised that people are saying they never listened to PS1's music. Those tracks were incredible and really made the game feel larger than life. I still have a number of them in a few of my regular playlists, actually.

I for one am psyched for PS2's official soundtrack, and I can't wait to hear what they've developed this time around.

I'd agree that everything before the drop is great, but you need to be careful.

Dubstep is somewhat of a fad at the moment, and not just any fad, but an "oh my god this stuff is goddamn everywhere!" kind of fad. Not only can I see people having a "lol dubstep" attitude in a few years, but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people end up simply hating the dubstep-style bass after a while.

And all dubstep sounds the same to me.

I read your post, which seemed deep - until I looked at your avatar.



(I agree with your statements)

Anytime I uninstalled PS, I always kept a PS Music file. It brings back so many memories and is great to run in the background while writing, gaming, what ever.

PlanetSide music was awesome, the trailer music had that familiar music style as well.
