Music

[Pvt.Skoko]

"Heroes of Stalingrad will feature a unique dynamic music system that will adapt the emotional mood of the soundtrack to match the morale of the player based on the flow of the battle. To highlight the differences between the two warring powers the game will feature a completely unique soundtrack for the Russian and German sides."



Pretty Coool just sayin,

Seen it in a lot of other games, hopefully it isn't annoying during gameplay

there is already a thread for this

"Seen it in a lot of other games, hopefully it isn't annoying during gameplay"

sorry, is there any other game with morale system, and music adapting to it?

I think the most advanced system so far was: enter combat -> play battle music

 

[Pvt.Skoko]

Sorry I wasn't specific,

Not morale,
But it is in a lot of games when a significant event happens,
if the round is about to end,
if the other team starts getting an upper hand
obviously the RO teams is making it very unique.
Sorry for reposting

CNC Generals and Dawn of War series makes use of even=music system. Adds nice ambiance.

Interesting.

I hope this means we get thundering drums and chanting when the battle heats up, then strings and a sad women wailing when the axis run out of reinforcements.

To me RO's music is far to safe. If it was more like Gustav Holst I would actually have it on.

No games have it based on TWI's exact definition of morale but the concept on changing music based on the mood of a scene ain't that new.

For instance in l4d the music changes based on things like player health, players alive and what is generally happening on screen. That comes pretty close for me to a morale system. And in heavily scripted games and movies, music has been used to define the mood since the moment that music could be added to those mediums.

Monkey island 2 already had a special sound system that blended different bits of music seamlessly into each other, with specially composed music to fit the mood of every section in the game.

FEH!

I will be having music turned off from the start!

Realism FTW

I LMFAO

But seriously, adding music will only kill the immersion and make this some lame a$$ COD.

exactly... the only difference between RO and CoD is that RO has no music... Oh wait!

Well this music thingy worked fairly well in World in Conflict (RTT-game) where the backround voices depended on the heavynes of the battles aka amount ef environment destroyed.

I was being serious...


And saying music ruins realism is pretty funny.

Ill use music for SP and turn it off for MP (so I can hear footsteps better). Music is generally something you can turn on and off, so if you don't like it don't use it. No need to complain over it .
