[T:V] Music

Just curious as to what kinds of tunes we'll be bumpin' to when the game is released.

my guess

national socialist black metal, dutch speedcore and japanese visual kei by turns :rocker:

westlife ballads, hopefully.

community bands and such, i think i'd be cool to hear bounty's (or my) band do an instrumental

I hope we can have playlists, or atleast more songs than 4 songs that loop all game.

Now there's an odd combination, particularly with the visual kei bands, which are basically just harder-edged hair metal bands whose main gimmick is not nearly so much their music as it is their effeminate, woman-attracting looks. The Nazi metal idea sounds pretty cool, though. MIDAIR MICHT FREI!

Myself, I was kind of hoping for quirky stuff with some jazz/symphonic elements in addition to the standard clanging-and-clanking industrial and the obligatory gruff guitar numbers that practically every FPS has these days. A couple of intense violin stings when fighting someone in midair or a few sultry saxophone notes while dashing around dodging fire in single-player would strike me as worth a listen if done properly.

But who am I kidding? I'll just replace the in-game playlist with the Guilty Gear X2 soundtrack when I get my hands on the game anyway.

/me AIR GUITAR :rocker:

Simply, Shazfunk. :D

I doubt we will see John Zorns Naked city on this one... (crosses fingers)
Some Kataklysm would be nice.

I'll do some music for T:V if asked.

I would wholeheartedly approve of this.

I liked the feel of "The Chase" far more than the typical pounding industrial and jugga-jugga-jugga of most FPS soundtracks. I like quirky stuff, with brass and strings and woodwinds and other nice acoustic instruments, I think it lends much richer atmosphere than mere computer-generated wall-of-noise stuff.

Heavy stuff may lend itself better to killing, but Tribes isn't just about ground-pounding on foot and in vehicles. Tribes is about style, about a musical flair as you flit through the air like a butterfly raining death on your enemies, and I think a quirky ambience with an Uncle Silas-style soundtrack rather than a hard-edged ambience with typical techno and industrial would lend itself better overall to T:V.

Wouldn't it be great if Irrational pulled a Marvel vs Capcom 2 when it comes to music?

Gonna take you for a ride! Gonna take you for a ride! Gonna take you for a ride!

I'm not talking THAT whimsical, mind you. I'm talking quirky, but peppy. Stuff like The Chase, with a nice bit of acoustic guitar with a refreshing melody, but with a tempo that still befits flying across the map at Mach 2 through a hail of chaingun slugs.
