Just had a simple thought about the upcoming epic Starfield. What tunes will you be spacing out to?

Hopefully, the soundtrack is great, but if not, what will be your alternative?

I'll start:

 

[SJRB]

...probably the Starfield soundtrack? Bethesda's games have had amazing soundtracks so there's no reason to doubt this one will be great as well.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[Matsuchezz]

This song will play with the opening scene.

 

[The Cockatrice]

The games soundtrack? Even if its bad, I'll still listen to it. I never put my own music in any game regardless. Its the devs vision, whether good or bad, and I'll play it accordingly. Chances of it being bad are almsot slim to none. Cmon, have you heard Fallout and Skyrim's soundtracks? Prolly not based on your post.

It's good to have options man, lol.

Yes, I've played them all and they are good. However, if the game is as good as I hope it will be, then there are some memorable tracks from other mediums that will complement the journey like no other.

 

[e0n]

Maybe MechWarrior 2 OST.

 

[German Hops]

 

[Punished Miku]

 

[RoboFu]

 

[SenkiDala]

Was thinking the same. But yeah if I get bored of it after 100 hours I might have to think about other soundtracks.

 

[ReBurn]

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

The game ?

I will never understand people listening to random musics or/and turning off game musics, it absolutely kills the atmosphere of the game. It's like replacing a movie soundtrack, you won't do that.

 

[Joramun]

Hans Zimmer

 

[balls of snow]

Mass effect andromeda start screen theme.

 

[Trunx81]

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

yes

 

[Punished Miku]

 

[Robb]

Pretty much.

 

[salva]

Those annoying hiphop/rap tracks that are on all modern AAA trailers.

...No, but seriously, the games own music/score. It sounds pretty damn good so far.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Yes. This.

 

[M.W.]

 

[Von]

Now you got me curious if there’ll be radio station/s.

 

[salva]

 

[Draugoth]

 

[Trilobit]

Bowie in Space by Flight of the Conchords



On repeat.

Edit: Whoa! Dragoth! We're like the same mind travelling in parallel lines. :0

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Definitely a first play through starter. Motherfucker better have a helluva vista when I have this playing.

 

[Draugoth]

Bowie in Space by Flight of the Conchords



On repeat.

Edit: Whoa! Dragoth! We're like the same mind travelling in parallel lines. :0

Nah, you just happen to have good taste on music too.

 

[adamsapple]

The games own OST.

 

[drganon]

Whatever the game's ost is.

 

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

Game OST. And podcasts in one ear at some point, I’m sure.

 

[Clintizzle]

Probably my girlfriend complaining.

 

[Freelance Yakuza]

I feel like every two days someone tosses a set of little papers in the air with random topics written on them. The one that the person manages to catch becomes the theme for starting a thread about Starfield.
I will use the game's soundtrack

 

[Freelance Yakuza]

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

...probably the Starfield soundtrack? Bethesda's games have had amazing soundtracks so there's no reason to doubt this one will be great as well.

Is Jeremy Soule the composer?

He creates the best ambient tracks in the business next to Jesper Kyd

 

[Chukhopops]

Imo it’s the Stellaris OST and in particular the Utopia expansion that seems to match the tone of Starfield:



But most likely the Starfield OST will be just as good.

 

[amigastar]

I have a feeling Autechre or Aphex Twin fits the mood.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Might be slightly off topic but I hope there's an option to turn off 'combat music'. I hate when that shit kicks in and ruins the element of surprise. It's almost like cheating.

 

[ahtlas7]

Jeremy Soule music

 

[nikos]

 

[amigastar]

Sorry, but how is it cheating when the music starts at the same time as the combat?

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Sorry, but how is it cheating when the music starts at the same time as the combat?

I was playing Fallout 4 last month. This is the scenario. You're walking into a building, minding your own business, looting stuff. All of the sudden the combat music kicks in. And you just know shit is about to get down. There's no element of surprise. You don't have to be careful because you will never be ambushed. Music gives it away.

This is what I mean.

Yeah I don’t get it either. The only time I’ve done it is with sports games or racing games. A sprawling single player RPG is the absolute last kind of game I would use my own playlists for. I wanna soak up every little bit of atmosphere, just as the devs intended. Using your own custom playlist is like bringing your own sides to a nice restaurant.

 

[Kiya's Guard]

Podcasts, like in any boring open world

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

I’m playing Baldur’s Gate 3 while listening to Final Fantasy XVI’s OST. Then I’m going to play Armored Core 6 while listening to Baldur’s Gate 3’s OST. Finally I will play Starfield while listening to Armored Core 6’s OST.

Nothing. Space doesn't propagate sound.
