and killing people. But mostly I like killing people to great music.
Which seems to be the whole idea of AC.
sold.

Just for future reference, it's both easier and more accurate too call it a "BAFTA".

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> eah but will the music be better than the Pokemon jingles? I think not!!

Half Life/2.

The music is only present at climactic moments.

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> I was already sold on AC, but considering how engrossing the Silent Assassin, Contracts, and Blood Money soundtracks were, I think we're in for a treat.

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> Actualy super ghosls and ghost had a very nice sound track if you can even get far enough to hear it. For quake i play a mix between rap big beat and other stuff... If fits perfectly with the way I play. So much action you don't have time to hear them coming...LOL

Now with quake wars it's nothing but that game... Finally got 400xp points YAEH BABY!

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> @noelix: Agreed, but Jesper Kyd does damned fine work

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> As far as I am concerned, Koh Ohtani (Shadow of the Colossus) raised the bar for video game scores by a huge amount. I'd love to see some competition for that soundtrack.

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> It will NEVER compare to the magnum opus that was the Marvel vs. Capcom 2 soundtrack.

...Anybody wanna go for a ride?

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> Music really has vital role in games anymore. I like to turn on my music when I play Warhawk to get in a groove (a la Iron Eagle). Sometimes music does a better job at keeping a person calm than having it turned off. I mean if you're waiting around hoping to get the drop on someone the anticipation might get to you but if there's music to sort of semi-focus on then it keeps the nerves calmer than turing it off would.

Aside from the music. Until we hear otherwise from the company its safe to assume the game is still slated for next month, but we haven't really heard if those problems have been recitified yet. I'm not holding my breath for November but I'm really hoping it stays on schedule.

Sparx

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> I dislike how Halo 3 whines about me playing my own music every time, but in general, I don't like to listen to a lot of in-game music. Sometimes it just gets too repetitive (particularly in beat 'em ups or adventure games) or just isn't to my taste (I like hip hop, but does every single song in every NBA game have to be hip hop?).

I will never turn the sound down on Super Mario Bros, though. Or the original Metroid.

I don't think I've ever heard this guy's stuff, but I do like things that are taken to the max...

tk.

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> I've only ever heard Jesper Kyd's Hitman music, and I've got so say, it's awesome as hell. I've pretty much been given a guarantee that the music in AC will be great.

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> @DrakeLake: Errr... yeah. Obviously, EBA, Ouendan, Rhythm Tengoku and Dotstream. I guess I have listened to SOME! :)

Michael McWhertor

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> Awesome! I didn't know Jesper Kyd was in on this, but it's nice to know. I still whistle the music from the St Petersburg levels of Hitman 2 when I'm out and about. Good show AC

Unastheslayer-PSN

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> Jesper Kyd also did some of the better tracks for DDR Ultramix 2.

@PapaBear434:

Depends on the game. I can't imagine Silent Hill without the music, but as much as I love Outlaw Golf, I have to turn that terrible repetitive soundtrack right the hell off before I can get going.

chucklebuck

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> Jesper Kyd rules. I have the Hitman 2 soundtrack in fairly frequent rotation on my car CD player AND I remember playing Sub Terrania (his first soundtrack work) on my Genesis as a kid and humming the themes afterwards.

athodyd

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> Isn't it kind of weird to communicate this with a formal press release?

Taz

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> I rarely keep the music on in multiplayer games, but I feel it's more or less essential for the experience in singelplayer games, If it's done right.
For example I couldnt imagine playing Bioshock without the music.

Can't wait for Assassins creed to be released (november will be incredibly expensive, there'll be no christmas presents for my family this year...), although im afraid I'll be dissapointed because my expectations are now getting unrealistic.

Tajfoon

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> I don't understand why this game is not making me excited. I'm trying and trying, and i just can't seem to be interested. I don't understand. I need to find some good trailer or something.

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> Music included in the game? What a twist!

Ouendan/EBA must have been fun. ;)

Drake Lake: Phase Lunaire

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> @PapaBear434: Usually, the aural part of a game is as important as the visual. But I have to agree that in competitive games, I'm inclined to turn the music off so that I can focus more on the sound of footsteps sneaking up behind me, etc.

There's also the fact that when you're playing competitively you want to stay calm and not be swayed by emotional music, which could impact your performance.

Sugoi

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> I don't think I've ever listened to a GBA/DS/PSP soundtrack, but I almost never turn down anything on a console.

Michael McWhertor

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> If it's well done, I think it can help the experience a lot. Same thing as movies really. Music can be really distracting/annoying, or it can help convey a lot of subtle subtext.

paradox-mtl

]]> <![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Score Is BAFTAstic]]> Am I the only guy that usually turns off the music to a game because they find it distracting from the title? Especially FPS's, because I play by sound as much as sight. But for a lot of games, I feel like it ruins the immersion.

I think Warhawk is the first in a long time to make me keep it on, because it's not ALWAYS on. Just comes on when you do something big and dramatic, like lay down a cluster bomb and kill four people at once.
