The gameplay preview got me to try out the series. I’m still looking forward to this as of now. This just adds to it.

Ah, that's where the budget went. No wonder the game looks so lifeless.

Hans Zimmer shows up in some weird places. He does the music for the Madacascar series and is really good soundtrack for an odd animated movie series.

Damn, attaching your name to this abomination.

This sounds amazingly bad. It's got that Ramin Djawadi thing going on where a composer can make a 100-piece orchestra sound like a midi track.
Right. It sounds completely phoned in.

Pretty sure Zimmer has a couple of ghost composers for the... less-prestigious projects.

That`s amazing......ly unimpressive for a Zimmer work. I dare call it generic.

Yawn.
A lot of the stuff is him writing a few cues and having the assistants (people like Lorne Balfe and HG-W) actually handle the soundtrack. When they branch off and go solo, people end up describing them as Zimmer clones.

Two thoughts, one this can't be cheap, two, how much actual composing is he doing these days and how much does he pass off to students/understudies?

Zimmer is goated AF, but judging by the previews, the only epicness this game is gonna get is by being on EGS.
For Bioware's sake, I hope the game is good, but Anthem was a huge miss, and it's unclear if they have what it takes anymore.

Oh man... crisis averted. I originally read that as Hans Zimmer composer for new Dragon Quest.

That's awful, starts with a loud ass honk then a quiet cacophany of nonsense then kicks in with the most generic main menu theme we've heard in tons of other aaa games

Well, he has already attached his name to bad films... including X-Men: Dark Phoenix.

Well at least they did the music right. I actually thought the dragon fight looked kinda fun. What I can't seem to get over is just how...blue and purple the game is. Maybe they are just showing one area of the game so far, but I would really like to see a better color palette...cuz this aint it.

I mean... legendary composer puts out a generic piece of music for a controversial video game. Not much room for meaningful discussion here.
The only thing we can hope for is that the game is outstanding. That's the only way to change the conversation at this point. I'm leaning on checking it out because there ain't shit else to play between Silent Hill 2 and Dragon Quest 3. I better see you in the OT.

Now I have a machine gun. Ho, Ho, Ho.
Anyway Hans Zimmer is basically a music factory at this point with a ton of sub composers. I highly doubt this is all him.

I probably won’t make it in time. I want to finish Dragon Age Origins, 2, and Inquisition before checking this out.
I had a horrible time with the Xbox version of Origins so I had to move to the Steam version with mods. I’m hovering over a C rating with how much I’ve experienced so far.
At best this game will either be like Mass Effect 1 or 3, and I think at worst this game will be like Mass Effect Andromeda, which had a story that needed more oomph but had great combat.

Yep, maybe its even possible to roleplay a "far right incel". Now that would be funny!

What a terrible waste of talent, I guess Zimmer has to eat as well.

Pre-release, at the BioWare office:
Game director:
People, the hype for the game is dead (if it ever been alive), what the fuck should we do? The launch is almost here...
Dev 1:
Well, how about we just tell that the main theme was composed by famous hollywood music producer?
Dev 2:
And all cutscenes and intro was shot, written, produced, directed, supervised, storyboarded, masterminded by James Cameron!
Dev 3:
And that you can adjust the size of the penis and breasts in the character creation and have a pink hair!
Dev 4:
And that all of the DLCs will be free!
Dev 5:
Game director:
You're fuckin' dumbasses and perverts, what do I even pay you for?

My first Hans Zimmer video game composition foray was the opening theme of Modern Ware Warfare 2 (2009) on the Xbox 360.
I got my copy early because I know a few retailers in my town, close friends, and they would take a few for their families and one for me as well.
It was great because we could be done with the campaign and then kick straight into MP on launch day. We just shouldn't be online with it, till then, or we'll get banned (his retailer license revoked) and hide our achievement lists (game history).
It's safe to say that I was not fucking ready for this absolute banger...
One of my all-time favorite opening cutscenes/OST/story montages ever.
The pure love for the lore with those montage bits from MW1 (2007), "It's the F.N.G., Sir.", "What the hell kinda name is SOAP?!" as throwback from the beloved game from 2 years ago, were just the icing on the cake that elavates the score.
It was during the credits of the campaign only where I got to know Zimmer composed the main theme (opening theme).
The next piece I heard of him in gaming was from Crysis 2, a couple of years later.
Another great composition.
I was not interested in Dragon Age: Veilguard, till now. But, I absolutely will try to get it during a Steam sale with the OST, and only hope the game is good or even as good as Inquisition. It doesn't even need to be on the same level as Origins.
