Dynamic music

[shadowwill]

Many will oppose this idea as it doesnt fit in with reality, you dont often find an orchestra on the battlefield playing music for you to make it feel more awesome.

But my idea is this, ive found in many games with dynamic music, it enhances the game play experience and can increase how dramatic the game is.

So take the film 'Enemy at the gates' for example (awesome music). When Vasily shoots the five Germans near the begging, a trumpet sounds when he gets the kill. Here is the music, you will hear what i mean early on. YouTube - Enemy at the Gates OST-Vassili's Fame Spreads

And is then followed by the music levelling out when he gets his first five kills. Now imagine this, imagine hearing that or similar music when you pull of epic moments and imagine how much of a 'hero' you will feel. I think it will be a badass feature, and for those who do not wish to have it, enable switch on and off in options.

Just a suggestion however.

This is exactly the kind of stuff we've been arguing against for a while.

The idea is for the game to be realistic, not some dramatic hollywood movie-like crap that makes you feel like a hero.

Not to be mean...but no.

I think something like it will be in RO2. There was music added to RO:O so I expect there to be music in the sequel.

 

[Rikharthu]

If it is, the default better be "OFF".

This was discussed in another thread. Pretty much everyone agreed that TW shouldn't put any music in the game at all, so I don't see why they would...and it's not like having music would market the game better.

They won't. The only music in Ostrofront was that which greeted us at the Main Menu and the End Round screen.

nope. dont like the idea. I see it as this. Real soldiers didnt have orchestras following them so why should we?

Music is entertaining, but obstructive. With it on, it's harder to hear footsteps and breathing.

 

[SiC-Disaster]

The only music i want to listen to in-game is coming from Stalin's Organ.

 

[shadowwill]

haha well yeah like i said guys it was only an idea. I just thought that the music in enemy at the gates gave it a real awesome atmosphere. But like you said RO isnt a film.

 

[The Masta]

Who doesn't disable ingame music anyway?

how about it be optional in youre audio settings?..... just because some people dont want it you have to ruin it for the ones that do? people are saying "no not at all" why not it just be optional for the people who do want it? personally i dont care how they do it but there are people who enjoy it why should it just be spoiled by people who dont want it?

The point of this game is to be realistic. RO is praised for its realism. Adding in game music is not how to make a game realistic.

Besides, if the majority of RO players don't even play with music or would not even be interested, there's no point in spending development time on something so that a minority would have that option. It's a waste of resources.

fair enough its just an option though having more options is better than less but i know what you mean

Yes I understand that. But whats the point of people playing a realism game with an aspect of that game making it less realistic?

Exactly. Realism should be across the board...no options for making it less realistic.

I still feel that if players want to listen to music they should do so with their own media applications. A game that strives for realism should not be putting music in the players ears but rather allow players to be immersed in the excellent sound effects that have been a part of Red Orchestra.

 

[[TxM]_ChrisT_]

Alright! I like this. People who enjoy realism! woo! lol
