July 10, 200421 yr I know some people wont like this but I think it would be cool to use your own soundtracks ingame.
July 10, 200421 yr WHile that would be pretty good idea in some games like Fallout Tactics, the Star Wars music plays an important role in the immersive factor.
July 10, 200421 yr Author I know about all the trying to keep it as close to Star Wars as possible, but I have some really cool LS/DS songs on my XBox, I would like to listen to those will I am playing my char, i think it would be cool
July 10, 200421 yr There is a potential of a coolness factor, I'll give you that. Being DS and having Metallica's version of the Imperial March would have a certain cool effect to it.
July 10, 200421 yr buy a separate hi-fi. Buy the cds. Listen to cds while having game on. CDs are way too bulky. Having music in a good 2 to 5 meg file is much more efficient.

July 10, 200421 yr In most games custom soundtracks is awesome.. But IMO the SW soundtrack is definetly good enough.
July 10, 200421 yr Star Wars without its great music isn't Star Wars to me. Besides, the games soundtrack should be awesome enough.
July 10, 200421 yr Let's not mess with success. If everyone did that will we still be playing Space Invaders and Donkey Kong.
July 10, 200421 yr The reason Obsidian won't include custom tracks is TSL game is going for a cinematic experience where the music and story work together to create the best possible level of immersion for the player. They want the player to have an emtional investment in the characters, the story, and most of all they want the player to forget their playing a game all together. This can only be accomplished with deep characters, story, and a score that sets the mood for what is transpiring on screen. Cheers!
July 10, 200421 yr I don't disagree with that but that doesn't mean a custom soundtrack is a bad idea for CRPGs in general.
July 10, 200421 yr I don't disagree with that but that doesn't mean a custom soundtrack is a bad idea for CRPGs in general. I generally feel the CRPGs should be 'scored', rather than just have a bunch of songs as the soundtrack.
July 10, 200421 yr Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic: The Sith lords feat. backstreet boys, 5ive and westlife.
July 10, 200421 yr I don't really see the big deal in including an extra folder like that found in Vice City for those who want a custom soundtrack to drop their MP3 files in. It wouldn't work so well on the Billy Gates Box (PC's rock! w00t!) but it I doubt it would be a major endeavor to include an alternate folder for custom MP3s to play out of. My $0.03

July 10, 200421 yr No mouse/keyboard for xbox as far as I know (heard you can get a usb plug for the controller ports which usb peripherals can plug into, but not seen hard evidence of this) and thus proper games like CRPGs and RTS don't belong on them.

July 10, 200421 yr Just making a bit of a tangent point. Without a mouse life is just so much harder. Can't play fps nearly as well, can't do rts, cant really do rpg. Doesn't allow you to use an OS GUI effectively. Not entirely sure how that related to custom soundtracks, but for some reason it did. I still don't like the idea of rejecting the ambient sound for your own music. It detracts from the whole experience. You wouldn't go into a movie theater and replace the score with your own music. In vice city it's a bit different since it uses actual music from an era, and if you want to stay in-character you can just put 80s music in the folder. But with star wars the game's score is specifically designed and the effect is far better with the right score than randomly played music, even if that music is from the same universe. It'd just spoil the mood if during some emotional communication with carth about his troubled childhood and the imperial march (metallica version) blares out.
July 10, 200421 yr It the PC its easy, the music files are actually MP3. Its simply a case of putting your own MP3 files in there with the same name and extension.
July 10, 200421 yr Sorry this is SW world and Soule's tracks are superior by the way. HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt. We are hearing a child's tale.
July 11, 200421 yr Sorry this is SW world and Soule's tracks are superior by the way. He is not composing this game music track. Besides "The end of the begining of the end" is a decent score for any game.
