How can I score the art book without having a broken Big Daddy?

You'll be getting a new figure plus a very limited edition printed version of the art book, free of charge...

All I want is the artbook.

I wish there was a way to just ask them to send me one without having to force me into breaking my already pristine figure.

 

[Karakand]

Is that licensed? Nope... not here.

Hmmmm, probably a licensed performance.

 

[TrueReligion]

The soundtrack definitely reminds me of LOST's. It almost feels as if Michael Giacchino composed this music.

 

[F-Pina]

I have no say this is very nice.
Is it the first time someone does this?

 

[Mr. Spinnington]

This is what happens when a developer is earnestly happy that everyone loves their games and doesn't get cocky about huge sales --they turn it back around and dish out more content.

 

[blackadde]

very nice. thanks, 2k/irrational.

 

[Drakken]

Wow. Kudos to Irrational/2K for releasing this for free.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

This stuff is pretty epic, Cohens Masterpiece really hit me.

 

[Mifune]

This is so great.

And yeah, I know I'm a fucking weirdo, but I refuse to listen to any of the tracks that contain music I haven't heard in-game yet.

 

[Tieno]

This is so great.

And yeah, I know I'm a fucking weirdo, but I refuse to listen to any of the tracks that contain music I haven't heard in-game yet.

Same here, I'm downloading it for later. Artbook too.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Stupid that the later half of the album us listed as the song titles for the artist names. Zune software has a fit when I try to fix it.

 

[Captain Glanton]

Very nice, and appreciated.

I too was pissed that the disc in my CE was only 10 minutes long, though. At least I liked the Big Daddy doll.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Exactly. Really love the score. I can't believe we get it for free. Seriously, thanks Irrational. Constant rock.

(I'll be the first asshole to check: 192. THANK YOU IRRATIONAL.)

This is so great.

Also, there's a title in there that I'm VERY suspicious of....

 

[Danielsan]

see post #38.

One tiny little problem. I live in Europe and that form is US and Canada only. Ooh well I send Elizabeth from the cult of rapture an email. I hope to get a response.

 

[Livin_Lovin]

I'd like to second this. I hate when anything is released below a 160 kbps bit rate. 128 sounds like shit to me.

 

[Akia]

so awesome

 

[Kosma]

FOR FREE??? BUT MICROTRANSACTIONS ARE TEH FUTURE!!?!? Somewhere a MS/SONY employee is cutting his wrists at this irrational behavior.

Thanks guys, I promise to pick your game up whenever I get a system that plays it.

 

[140.85]

I noticed they used Penderecki's The Dream of Jacob in a couple of the levels.

 

[traveler]

This is probably the best OST from a game I've heard since SotC. Truly fantastic stuff. Thanks, yet again, Irrational.

 

[Goldrusher]

BioShock !

As said before, great to have a developer / publisher that does these little things. Cheers!

 

[Buttonbasher]

Is there a list of all of the Licensed music they use?

I'd love to splice it all together.

 

[RPS37]

This is what I was expecting was going to be on the soundtrack disc included with the Limited Edition.

Great stuff.

 

[Thermite]

Is there a list of all of the Licensed music they use?

here's two licensed songs from Bioshock.

1. If I Didn't Care - The Ink Spots
2. Beyond the Sea - Bobby Darin

 

[traveler]

Best tracks are easily

Bioshock Main Theme
Welcome to Rapture
Cohens Masterpiece
Empty Houses

Edit: Beaten

 

[Tokubetsu]

The main theme is so beautiful and haunting that I want to cry.

EDIT: Why aren't you guys including "Dancers on a string" on that list?

 

[Yixian]

So I guess that wraps it up, BioShock is the best thing to happen to the industry in a while

 

[traveler]

Cause it's not as good?

Not that I think it's bad; like I said, best soundtrack since Shadow of the Colossus. Not a bad track on there. (Of course, without the full licensed music and some of the more ambient pieces, you aren't hearing the full deal.)

 

[twinturbo2]

Thought it could use a thread. From The Cult of Rapture:

Download the orchestral score. (.zip file -- 23 MB)

Many thanks, dude. Downloading right now.

 

[GhaleonQ]

It's in there. I'm not sure who performed all of the classical pieces, though. If Schyman organized a new recording, they could release them.

 

[Rancid Mildew]

Much better than the LE disc. I wish it had the game's Beyond the Sea version. The one on the disc was an embarrassment.

 

[Buttonbasher]

That's the only one I've heard from the leaked one. I turned it off half way through and couldn't listen to the others.

Sweet. Someone knew what I was talking about.

 

[Thermite]

the only decent song on the Limited Edition soundtrack is "God Bless the Child". I'm not a big fan of it, but it's at least listenable.

 

[Somnid]

Heh, I didn't even realize Bioshock had music (outside the licensed stuff playing on the record players). Pretty forgettable, but they did a great job creating the ambiance so it's not like it matters, reminds me of Doom 3 in that respect.

I really like that they released this for free.

What the hell? Name a gaming score in the past year or two that is better than this score.

 

[GhaleonQ]

Something, something, Sibelius...?

*puffs on his pipe* I say, would you care some watercress on toast?

 

[Gattsu25]

Nice

 

[Kosma]

Great music.

*throws can of coke at his PC for not running Bioshock good enough to buy*

 

[Somnid]

Got me there, it's all kinda sucked lately.

 

[dejay]

I flicked through the PDF artbook as I was listening to the first few songs. Might make powerpoint presentation of it for my own amusement.

Thanks 2K!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Neat. Can't complain about free stuff.

 

[FatalT]

2K, would you kindly give us more free stuff?

 

[traveler]

Got me there, it's all kinda sucked lately.

K. Name your favorite gaming scores so that I can smash them.

 

[Buttonbasher]

2K, would you kindly give us more free stuff?

What else is there?
