In Game Radio Stations!

Would be fantastic if there was a way to tune your mozzie/prowler radio into an in game station playing music like APB did.

Yeah that would be interesting

, especially if some of those radio stations could be run by different factions, each one doing its best at making one.

Most big MMO's get a radio station, anyone planning one for PS2?

I can see that hurting Terran Republic Membership. All soldiers are required to tune into Regimented Radio at all times. *Hey Listeners, we got another special request from our beloved leader. That's right, it's time once again for that hit single "You can Break my Heart Baby, but Deserters will be Shot".

No, we'll just play the entire extended 2-CD soundtrack from Starship Troopers over and over and over again. :P Oh, and 'Klendathu Drop' during big Gal drops.

This thread reminds me of the time to tried EQ1 for a week. After already playing WoW, I wanted to go back and see why the EQ structure became the norm for MMOs. The graphics were horribly blocky, but the one thing I did like and made me scratch my head as to why no other MMO has done it since, was the fact that it had an in game MP3 player. Making it so I don't have to alt-tab every time I want to change some music would be great for PS2.

In a recent Higby interview (I forget which one), he joked around having a music player in vehicles so when the driver turns on music, everyone inside the vehicle hears it. I was screaming at the screen, "PLEASE DO THAT!!!". I'm normally the driver/pilot for my outfit's troop transports and plan on doing it in PS2. If I could turn on some Two Steps From Hell for my friends to listen to so they can get psyched up before going into battle, that would be awesome.

Why not partner with Pandora or Tune-in and stream music straight through the in-vehicle radio? Would also be awesome if people in your vehicle could hear the music too.

Could also let people near the vehicle hear it too. Imagine pulling up to your local sunderer for a pit stop and hearing something playing over the radio. Now that would be awesome.

Yeah, propaganda would be hilarious. Forget Tokyo Rose, we've got Tokyo Terran. (No offense to the Japanese).

That's what I was thinking on the streams. Tr will of course have the best music.

I can detect massive Lore-related arguments and drama being created by this.
Also, do you REALLY want to hear what some people play? I've heard way too much garbage just coming through people's headsets.

Waitill they pipe in hemmorhoid commercials.

With intermittent propaganda messages, like the commercials Fallout 3 had between songs.

Raymac · 2012-07-16, 03:28 PM

Yeah, I think a Tokyo Rose would add alot of color to the game.

Karrade · 2012-07-16, 03:29 PM

Starship troopers music for TR in PS1 was the way to go for those big fights.

My outfit plans to start one for the NC on our server once we can iron out everything that will be needed to make it work.
