Grishnakh Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 It's still one of the least important aspects of a game. The overall sound, the graphics, the storyline, the gameplay, the freedom of choices while playing through... All those things are more important. I've played through KOTOR with the music turned off many times and believe me, it's every bit as good without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Personnal opinion. Without music IMO, it would have been boring. It is NOT the least important aspect. Just because you've found it good without the music doesn't make it less important in someone else's eyes. Look at Star Wars, Indiana Jones and LOTR. What would they be without a kick-ass musical score? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I've read LOTR several times without listening to music Anyway, all those three are movies, in movies music are more important than in games. It's only in the last 5 years or so music has become focused on in games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grishnakh Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 If the musical score is your favorite aspect maybe they should release it on a CD, it would save you a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grishnakh Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I was just joking I didn't mean to offend anyone. I didn't notice the music in Knights 1 that much but I remember back when I had a Nintendo 64 and was playing Zelda: Ocarina Of Time, the music in that game was just excellent and really added to the atmosphere. I'm not a music-hater or something I just think there are tons of aspects that are more important in a game. A game could not have music at all and still be great, but a completely lousy game wouldn't be saved by a great musical score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this might be the case as i was once misunderstood in a previous thread and i could see a similarity p.s. i played zelda aswell on the N64 alas even though it was a great game i could never play it for to long, and when i went back to it i normally i forgot what i was doing so i would start it again (this became a bit of a cycle for me where this game was concerned) for me on my N64 the most replayed game single and multipalyer game was mariokart64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I personally just sum it all up to the fact that so far...TSL has so many MASSIVE improvements we all just get caught up in the excitement. There's soooo much to look forward to, it's hard to compare... Hell, I was even excited about the color scheme of the Character Creation screen (is that lame or what? hehe) I think we can all agree that TSL is going to be something we're going to be talking about for months (or years) to come.. <--- dancing with giddyness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiEND_138 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Originally posted by Grishnakh You can't be serious... Very 'serious'. Being a musician myself, the new musics the biggest turn on for me in these games. I love hearing the different variations on Williams score, but the composers making it feel something completely different at the same time. It makes me feel as though I'm at the point in the SW timeline thats intended. If the musical score is your favorite aspect maybe they should release it on a CD, it would save you a lot of money. If they did I would buy it. like i said before many of the star wars games just rip the sound track from the movies Agreed. Personaly, I can only play so many games all with the same recycled 'Escape From Cloud City' over & over again...... This in no way is trashing on Williams brilliance, but it gets old. I do wish, with some of the upcoming games, more of the prequels score is used as well. Look at Star Wars, Indiana Jones and LOTR. What would they be without a kick-ass musical score? Indeed.

Darth333 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I agree FiEND_138! Having been a musician in my "previous" life, the musical score is something I am really waiting for. I like the KotOR 1 musical score very much and while using leitmotivs from the original John Williams score, Jeremy Soule was able to make somewhting original from it. It had the StarWars feel but there was also something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
