Any word on who will be involved?

Hopefully Ferrone will be back.

Rumor has it, he is.

Again.

I agree, I would be very excited to get a confirmation on this. PS1's music was amazing.

The trailer used the music of Planetside (start listening at 0:25). I know it from tone to tone, listened it since 2006., and still listening in my car while I drive.

btw, the sms-ringtone is an "INCOMING MAX UNIT" voice macro! Funny when I have a message during a meeting.

Don Ferrone did great job with the music - I want to hear his work in PS2.

I posted this elsewhere, but Don's back. And the trailer music wasn't written by him, but they did use his themes from the original game.

Really hope they spend a bit of money and time to perfect the music. The original soundtrack was well composed, but some of the synthesized instruments bothered me. it would be great if they stepped up the production a bit and used real orchestras and percussion sections in addition to the more ambient electronic stuff.

Basically I'd like to see every aspect of the games audio brought up to modern standards.

I loved how certain weapons and especially vehicles had such unique sounds.

I agree, this is actually a question I would love to have answered. I really hope they don't generalize everything about the game.

I mean I don't know how they could, clearly a magrider and a prowler don't sound anything alike.

But even to have a VG and prowler have the same sound would be kind of lame.

As for the guns, the sound a gauss makes as apposed to a cycler is the first warning of what is around you, friend or foe. Which at the scale of planetside is a big deal.

I think PS had a ridiculous amount of individual sound elements. I would expect to see much of the same as PS1, where vehicles have different distinctive sounds.

[Vancha]

Honestly, anything that'd be a step back from a game made 8 years ago would be pretty pathetic, audio included. I wholly expect the sound work will be at least as good as Planetside's.
