Music in games

Obsessed · Feb 19, 2006

I always liked music in games, it gives it an extra touch.
For instance, in the trailer for R.O. music is a very important factor.
It always gets me excited and it gets you into the atmosphere
Unfortunalty you rarely have good music (like the one in the trailer) in the game itself.

I didn't play R.O. before, but if it doesn't has nice music in the maps, it might be a good idea.

some of the maps in the mod had radios in the level playing music, you can have music playing while you play I think, but personally, I want to be able to hear if someone is coming up behind me to stick that bayonet in my back

Same here Manstein. I always turn music off in multiplayer games cause i want to hear whats happening around me.

DirtyRat · Feb 19, 2006

yeah i've always wanted a more innovative approach to music in multiplayer...wouldn't it be great on your final charge for victory to hear an epic score gradually build!

Obviously it should be turn offable, but I think it could really enhance the epic feeling of a game with well designed interactive music.

you've got a music player in the game. that can play ogg and mp3 files

And you'll probably get the RO music cd in some folder with it. I hope that the music playing on those radios is also selectable

I would like the Call of Duty approach, where you hear music when something big is happening like pushing back the enemy or something. Ofcourse in a multiplayer game is much more dificult becaues it's not scripted.

Could have swore that I heard Danzig playing on the radio in some map..could be just me though.

I hope the MP3 player will stay?

And that the RO disc will carry music by itself.

The less developer time devouring way lol

The music in games gives them a dramatic effect, like in the stalingrad level in CoD1, where its like really effective, but i find the best thing to do is to open media in the background and put your music on (a word of advice, GO INDIE!) yes.

My suggested playlist: "Lili Marlene", "Ich habe ein comarade", "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree", "American Patrol", "We'll Meet Again", "White Cliffs of Dover".

As said before: he crescendo of a DP28 drum, or the ripping drum roll of a MG34 is all I need to be contend

"Background" music in RO is a BAD idea, atm it's already hard enough to hear foot steps over the sound of gun fire. No music, it kills the mood, makes it feel like a movie. If you want some, put it on in your preferd media player and have at it.

Bobdog · Feb 19, 2006

The song that plays on the radios in RO is "Esli Zavtra Voina", Russian for "If War Tommrow"

You can download it if you like from here.

Always makes me smile when it starts playing on my iPod

Zetsumei · Feb 19, 2006

I personally like it the way it is now. If you want music you use the ingame music player if you don't want it you just dont use it.

Alot of people like music while playing, relaxing probably more for ro. While you get your hardcore stuff for ut2004. It helps archieve the correct mood for playing. I hope that we'll keep the list list of redorchestra background music as the mood of that fits the game perfectly. And its handy having the ingameplayer because otherwise people need to use other programs which lag the users pc for alot of people.

Thanks for the link, BobdogG5. Nice music, Gospodin! I rather fancy "The Petersburger March"; sounds like genuine military marching music, albeit from perhaps the 18th Century.

Freedom Fighters is a game that has some excellent Russian military themes as well.

Here is some sample music from the Freedom Fighters soundtrack.

I recommend the MainTitle song.
