I hope they have a nice mix of old and new (the old is classic)

Some of the music from ALIENS would be worth including.

[Chris!(($$))!]

Definitely. There is no reason not to include some. I don't want the entire thing but maybe the opening music.

I've heard that song used for multiple previews for movies over the years. I remember as a kid getting the soundtrack for Aliens, then playing with my GI Joes listening to that song acting like they were getting extracted from the hive. Hahaha. Good times.

[Chris!(($$))!]

Yeh. I would do similar things when I was younger.

Other then the main theme(s), I don’t think the exact same music will be in there.

I’m sure it’ll have a very similar sound to it, but they hired Kevin to make new music for the game and not just take music from the films and paste it in there.

Rest assured that it’ll be awesome . . . Mr. Riepl doesn’t disappoint.

Usually.

Hasn't Riepl just been requested to do the Score? There may be others involved in the music for the game. Or maybe I read that wrong......

[DXEndar]

I think the score IS the in-game music. Like all of it.

Now there’s a different department in charge of Sound Design (like sound effects and how loud the music in an area is) . . . but I think Kevin is doing all the in-game music.

I’ll tweet him and ask . . .

Please report back your findings.

Oh, and drop him a link to this thread too.
