Re: Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for Shogun 2
This is good. Very good. If anything, I'll rip the music from the game and keep just that.
Hehehe, maybe I shouldn't be so negative about this one.

Re: Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for Shogun 2
He is an excellent composer. I have liked all of his music. CA is doing a smart thing by keeping him on.

That's great! They are really going back to the basics with this one!

Re: Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for Shogun 2
AMAZING!
This made my day. I'm looking forward more to the music now than the actual game.
Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
Re: Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for Shogun 2
Great news. Listen again to this and think if you've ever had anything as good in any other TW title.
It's getting better and better, I can't wait to put my hands on this game - but please, CA, take your time and make it proper.

Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for Shogun 2
This is certainly a good sign.....he's the best!
I made a montage of STW I music to play on my truck CD player, and I've had numerous comments by folks who have heard it. Most don't even know it came from a game until I tell them.....

Re: Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for Shogun 2
Nice! His memorable music helped shape past TW games. Who could remember them without remembering their epic music?
Re: Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for Shogun 2
He's always done great work. I'm looking forward to it! ^_^

Re: Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for Shogun 2
Did Jeff Van Dyke just do STW and MTW? Or did he do anything beyond that? I just can remember how immersive the music in STW was! Hopefully they have similar voice acting/quotes like in the original STW as well. Whipped dog, running for his worthless life, even the peasants grow fat, poignant poems, etc. All great stuff!
Re: Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for Shogun 2
He did the music all the way through Medieval 2.
Indeed. Would be cool if CA managed to get the same voice actors again. The narrator in the teaser trailer sounds like it might the same guy as in the original Shogun, but I can't tell for sure.

Re: Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for Shogun 2
Van Dyke did all the Total war music from Shogun up to and including Medieval II. He was originally listed as the musical director for Empire, but for what ever reason he was not involved. It was quite apparent too---the music for Empire lacked variety and was simply not memorable when compared to all the previous titles. Napoleon's new music (what there is of it) was much better.

Re: Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for Shogun 2
He did all the non-pukefest games. Meaning everything but ETW and NTW.
THIS. IS. SOOOOO. AWESOME.
Re: Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for Shogun 2
I loved the way all would be quiet in MTW's map view when you notice the lute starting.
Re: Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for Shogun 2
Yeah he did it in Rome too, super awesome guy.
Re: Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for Shogun 2
I wonder when we'll hear the first songs from the game. :D

Re: Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for Shogun 2
Totally agree!!!
RIP Tosa
Re: Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for Shogun 2
Yay! Hopefully they make Shogun 2 as immersive as the first one.
The purpose of a fish trap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten. The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten. The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to.
Re: Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for Shogun 2
Well the music will certainly be good. The music helps me keep my interest. :D It really adds to the atmosphere. He's a brilliant composer.

Re: Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for Shogun 2
Yes! ETW felt bland without his music.
and who could forget the epic credits music.
