So.... pretty much everything we hear in-game is Broadbent's work? And in the leaked pre-prod soundtrack we heard last year? Which is fine; it kicks ass.... but what happened to Don Ferrone's stuff...? We know Sony hired him; we know he recorded orchestral versions of it; we know he thanked us for getting him on board and hoped we liked it. Have they left it COMPLETELY out until some unspecified date?

I are confuse.

I'm really confused too. I don't really understand why we don't hear Ferrone's stuff too in-game. I find his work really awesome too!

I'm flabbergasted because I thought most of it *was* Don's. Apparently none of it is.

I just don't get it.

It's been known for a while that most of the soundtrack is Broadbent's work.

The only tracks that made it in that were Don's seem to be the character selection ones.

It's such a shame. Don's Vanu Strut/Hades Long Tunnel are amazing pieces and deserve to be in the game. Remember how excited he was to work on Planetside again?

Man.

I must have missed all that, Sturm. When did this 'become known'?

You mean there's a whole Ferrone soundtrack sitting somewhere out there in limbo? Next to the Alpha base designs and the lost Ark...?

I believe that Don was involved in it all just not as directly as in PS1.

By the way, excellent find.

I've been taking it for granted that not all the music had been implemented yet -- I've never heard any of the travel music, for instance -- and that it was Don's work. What we had in Ye Olden Days was ambient, immersive, atmospheric. What we get is little fits and snatches that aren't by the maestro we all hemmed and hawed and lobbied for and celebrated when he finally got his foot in the door.

Maybe I just haven't been paying attention, but this is all news to me. And it saddens me for some reason.
