PeterG Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 So first time I hear this. What is it with the music? I don't even remember music during gameplay from back in the day... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh3-rg Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 The original versions didn't have music (ST and Amiga). I think music was added on the Apple version, but it was pretty weak stuff. The SNES & MD maybe had music, if so I suppose that's because it'd be expected of a console game at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decayedmatter Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 About the music... And Eric talking about them trying to change the music on SNES Both these videos are very interesting to watch in full. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh3-rg Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I'm pretty sure they are talking about the music in the intro and at the end. The music for the ports was not made until afterwards - the original game has no in-game music. The music Interplay were trying to change was the intro music: Chahi was adamant about retaining the game's opening music, and had attempted to change Interplay's minds by sending them an "infinite fax," a looped piece of paper, with the message "keep the original intro music" on it. So which version do you remember the music from? 3DO? That music was made for that port and written by someone at Interplay, not Jean-Francoise Freitas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when you ride that first elevator up and look out the window, is that gonna be in the jaguar version?

Zerosquare Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 The Jaguar version will have music during the intro and end cutscenes only, like the Amiga version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decayedmatter Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 The Jaguar version will have music during the intro and end cutscenes only, like the Amiga version. That's the thing though, there was also music during the mid game cutscenes as well. Even on Amiga. Just trying to find out if those are in as well.

Gaztee Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Brilliant that this game has almost reached 200! Let's hope that this is just tip of the iceberg & that future new releases attract as much attention! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunstar Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) The problem is though, that it appears they have stopped taking pre-orders at 200, and there are quite a few people who are missing out becuase they thought they had until the 15th of febuary. Check the pre-order site and just try to actually pre-order with the button at the bottom. I was going to order another myself, for a web-shy friend of mine who is a big Jag fan, but now I can't (no money until the 12th) and there are others on JS2 who have already spoken up. I'm glad I was able to get my copy ordered last month. But I am still happy that the goal was reached and that this is going to be a reality, congrats guys! But why stop at the minimum? Will more be available to purchase once it is released or is 200 it? Edited February 9, 2013 by Gunstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decayedmatter Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Can anyone answer whether or not this version will have music for all the in game cutscenes or not? It's kinda my determining factor for ordering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there was also a maximum they agreed to make with the author? I'm sure Seb will let us know in time, seems a real shame if people will miss out, anything with more demand than supply is a dangerous thing on Jaguar, we know what happens then :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GAME is ALWAYS the most important part of the game, that's why it's called a GAME and not an Album! If the music is that important, to make the game pointless, then the game must really suck. If you think the music is the best part of any game, any at all, then that game sucks, and I think you have the wrong hobby, you better start listening to music, you'll enjoy it more.

Music is very important to me, as I am both a musician and an avid gamer. I appreciate both together in harmony. Gaming music is memorable, especially Another World. Why is it ridiculous to be a purist about game music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
