I guess Bethesda didn't want his music in F3 because his F1 and F2 compositions could be accused of plagiarism these days.
Music from "The Stand"
Come on, this is beyond sampling
I recommend this thread if you're interested
Wikipedia and Youtube stand otherwiseMark Morgan was the composer for The Stand
Some of it, yes. And you could blame less diversity of synths back then, but some of this stuff is most certainly connected.Plus the Aphex Twin stuff in the thread is really grasping at straws as far as similarities.
The tone is a little too grim-dark serious IMO.
They're grimdark in a 90s way, which is to say that it's just the way most games naturally were back then. Starcraft and the (only two) Diablo games could be considered "grimdark" by our standards right now, but it wasn't an obvious self-aware attempt at being edgy, that's just what the culture of their era was. Heck you could probably even consider space games from back then like Freespace or Homeworld to be grimdark if you think of everything from that period the same way.Isn't fallout 1 and 2 grimdark though? I just rewatched Fallout 1 intro and it's way more grimdark.
I agree. I really liked the track "Serenity", it was so peaceful and didn't really fit with the theme of a post apocalyptic world but it worked. Made me contemplate the whole fallout universe whenever I heard it lolThis trailer makes me think of how good Mark Morgan's music was at setting mood in 1, 2 and New Vegas. Shame his music almost certainly won't be used in Fallout 4.
