Meshugger Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 One of KotOR's better assetts were the soundtrack with themes like Bastila Shan, The Sith, Rhakert Station, Jedi Academy and Ahto City. But since Jeremy Soule isn't doing the soundtrack for TSL (replaced by Mark Grisham IIRC), what are your thoughts about it? I'm a very sceptic at the moment.

nightcleaver Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Marky GRISKY, actually. Jeremy Soule was a mixed bag for me. Some of his stuff was really boring, some was quite good. Bastila's theme, for instance. His NWN music I wasn't terribly impressed with either, but I think he was going too hard for "generic" rather than "unique" in that case. The worst it'll be is somewhat derivative, I think, or just not as moody. It'll definitely sound star-warsish, at least. He has plenty of credits for LA.
jaguars4ever Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 No poll this time. Don't send us into withdrawal.
Salsabettis Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 From what I could hear on the Korriban video (since the music volume was so low) I thought that music was just ok. Not crap, but not great either. But this is just the music on a preview movie, so it could also just be a preview to the soundtrack. I have a feeling that since the composer works for LA that the music will fit the game and have that classic Star Wars feel.
LORD GRAVEN Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 if worst comes to worst which i hope it wont you can always turn down the volume and play a cd.
GhostofAnakin Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 If they're going all out for a live orchestra (or whatever they're doing), I have confidence that it'll be quality, since if you're going to half-ass it, there's no point spending money on an orchestra to do it. I was satisfied with the KOTOR soundtrack, although some of the music, like the Manaan one, was rather lacking and didn't feel "epic" as most Star Wars music does.

Baneblade Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 It will be good i think. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ever the optimist, eh ? To be continued in : Reality Strikes Back....... coming soon in game stores near you. "If at first you don't succeed... So much for skydiving." - Henry Youngman.

Blarghagh Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 This is probably a stupid question, but how can you listen to the KotOR Soundtrack? Besides playing the game, I mean?
starwarskid15_19 Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 i believe thats what theyre talkin about the force is what gives a jedi his power. its an energy field created by all living things. it surrounds us and penetrates us. it binds the galaxy together
Craftsman Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Ok here are some from the Lucasarts site http://www.lucasarts.com/products/swkotor/S_supplies.html Enjoy. Ill try and get the rest soon.
Meshugger Posted October 26, 2004 Author Posted October 26, 2004 Previously, you were able to download the whole soundtrack from http://soundtracks.mixnmojo.com, but Lucasarts forced them to put it away recently though.

Meshugger Posted October 26, 2004 Author Posted October 26, 2004 do u guys burn it to a cd and make your girlfrien listen to it in the car? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My g/f has already burned it and listening to it as we speak.

Jade Shadow Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 IIRC, someone on the Bioware forums a while back said there was a way to extract them from the game files but I could never make it work. Then someone posted the link to the soundtrack on the web that someone posted earlier and that was much easier. Great soundtrack. I hope they do a similar thing with the KOTOR 2 soundtrack. I really liked how the first game's was always reminiscent of John Willliams and used some variations on some of the original themes but was never the exact same thing that we've all heard a million times, like in the Jedi Knight games. Make it original, but make it Star Wars, please!
Craftsman Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 Um i know how to extract the files, and since we bought the game it should be legal. Can i tell?
Garfield3d Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Um i know how to extract the files, and since we bought the game it should be legal. Can i tell? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You can extract the music using Miles Sound Tools at http://www.radgametools.com/miles.htm . Just target the *.wav files and extract away. They should extract to wave format by default. No, Miles Sound Tools isn't a shady program either. Rad has had its technology used for a crapload of stuff, such as Smacker Video, Bink Video, and Miles Sound Tools (HOMM I, II, III, IV, Mechwarrior 2, Starcraft, Warcraft, and almost any other game you can think of). Personally, I don't know if it is illegal to just extract the files, considering that you would have to own the game in the first place, and functionally, they would just be forcing you to open up the game and pick fights instead of just click on the track. I think their issue would be distributing the music. Or, at least, I hope it is. --Garfield3d
