The NC should just play Lahannya as their music.

As per topic.

For example (this will play the Dystopia album, starting with the first song, also named Dystopia): http://www.myspace.com/music/player?aid=18114222&ac=now

(I'm aware this would require licensing it, but it's mostly themed perfectly.)

Dark and creepy is the NC? Maybe its because I listend to the first 4 seconds of the song, but I dont like it D:

The NC music is good as it is now...

Four seconds? That's not enough time to judge a song on its merits. That would be like listening to AC/DC's Thunderstruck for four seconds and then calling it lame because it's just some guy switching between two different notes for the entire four seconds, and nothing else.

Clearly we have country fans here. Country is the one music genre that I hate.

To be honest four seconds of the song is enough to make me think I will like it, then it kicks in and it's shite!

Haha. Oh well!

I think there are WAY too many people projecting their stigmas on the NC music. The NC are laborers; common clay people who are fighting for their liberties. The rock anthem fits them perfect ("Banjos" as Stew so inaccurately put it). People need to quit trying to compare real-world examples to the empires; it's not the same thing.

I don't understand the "this is the future" argument. Very likely people will look back in 200 years and go "WTF is techno?". The game may take place in the future, but we're playing it now and it's important for the themes to capture the feel of the empires individual ideals. The TR and NC do this, the only one that doesn't is the VS (imo).

Rock anthem for saving the world would be how i'd like it.

Ratstomper · 2012-06-20, 03:00 AM

Too dark and broody sounding, imo. It's more TR's speed. I like the current hard industrial rock sound better. It suits us well.

Stew · 2012-06-20, 03:17 AM

This is how NC should sound like ! Deep and heroic freedom figther feel ! NO banjo no junky woman signing

Yetiee · 2012-06-20, 03:25 AM

dueling banjos?

xnorb · 2012-06-20, 04:14 AM

No idea which themes you're talking about ...

TR = orchestral
NC = Rock
VS = Techno

Did listen to some minutes of the NC theme on yT and didn't ever hear a Banjo.
This is what a Banjo sounds like:

That banjo is awful omg! He must have messed something up on a mixer or volume or something. But it might fit well with NC...

I really don't understand why TR are orchestrated, I would have thought the most gun-ho faction would have some rock.

But in my opinion, it's a real shame NC have to have that industrial rock crap, to me it really is the worse genre out of the three. I mean this is the future! Just because they look a bit more rag-tag and rough doesn't mean that you should take what is in my opinion a rapidly aging genre. Go with some futuristic style music but still have a ragtag feel to it!

Even though I don't exactly like dub-step to me it is better and more fitting with the futuristic environment whilst still not becoming too technical or ordered to be infringing upon the other empires styles than industrial rock!

But to be honest, it really doesn't matter to me anyways because I play my games music-less to increase realism. Just throwing my opinion out there!

net devil couldn't do much right, but they do better faction videos :P

i cant find the solrain or quantar ones any more, but its amazing how similar their story is to planetside factions.
