im torn, as much as i love new content, you have to feel for the devs who worked hard on this stuff and which may or may not be the final format.

Downloaded VS OST just in case he deletes it, haha.

The Main Theme and Travel themes are somewhat 'Deus Ex: Human Revolution'ey. Definitely a good thing, that game's music was the bomb.

Long live the Vanu Sovereignty! Join us! We shoot lasers, drive hovertanks, have the best colors, and the best music!

This isn't final, Higgs confirmed it a few posts after OP. Final will not be computerized.

I'm convinced that many people claiming the NC music is "hill billy" don't actually know what hill billy music or banjos sound like

Be glad it's rock, not country music!

YES, exactly! It's the 11th hour, the world is shattered, much has been lost, and the future of humanity is at stake. It's all on the line and the future is uncertain. A huge weight on the terran soldier's shoulders.

On this subject... Will there be a collector's edition for Planetside2 with music in it, dogtags, etc? I'd pay for that shit.

If its available a la carte on the in-game store that would be fine too.

You PS2 devs looking for monetization ideas, there you go - allow us to buy PS2 non-digital goods from the store, possibly with station cash? T-shirts, dogtags, medals, PS2 music, posters, concept art, team autographs, etc. Lots of good monetization there for the fans.

Is it me, or does ALL the NC music sound like an RTS theme? Reminds me heavily of Command & Conquer and Starcraft 2 Marine themes.

NC Theme kept the overtones of the NC sanc music we all liked so much. That was great.

Can't beat the epicness of the TR music though. The PS2 composers really outdid themselves.

I was hoping for something remotely as good as the PS1 music, and I'm completely stunned. A+++.

Yeah, my only "conern", is that all the NC music sounds alike, so it gets old a little quickly. But these are all the prototype music tracks, and they just kept the same sounds and will no doubt change it.

I think the main theme sounds a bit off, too much going on, but it smooth outs at the end so it's nice. The combat tracks, I can deal with the redneck tone to em. I mean, really, it makes me think of the Starcraft 2 marines and music and I'm A-ok with that.

I can't wait to see (hear) the second stage of these tunes. We'll have a lot of music by the time the game releases, maybe a dozen remixes for each, seeing as game design is always about reworking till it can be reworked no more.

Agreed, I sincerely hope this kind of thing is made available.

I even asked about an art book too when we were still getting a lot of concept art.

It's funny how the one time I really want to buy a game with all the collectors bells and whistles and stuff, it is F2P.

First world problems eh?

Nickelback Conglomerate lol

VS and TR are pretty epic, I'd listen to either of them when I'm doing work.

Sets of clothes ruined since a couple of weeks ago, all thanks to PS2, now >10

So keep that in mind while you rock out.

Yea it was clear that Don had grabbed the latest VST guitar plug-ins. I was loving the Main theme until the Mike Post like guitar came in and turned it into a Stephen J. Cannel TV show.

+1
I am upset that I won't be making that 10 year anniversary trek to gamestop with my dog to buy PS2. She and I were looking forward to it. So yea, throw the dog tags and a disc in a box and I would definitely buy it.
