    See: Song for the trailer

    It's trailer time again, and one of my first tasks is to pick a piece of music. I have a selection to choose from below, and I'd like you all to vote on which you think would be most suitable for Empires. Whichever receives the most votes will be used for the final trailer (provided the author does not object).

    1. Helix - No. 6
    2. Cornandbeans - Factory
    3. Cycerin - Wet Asphalt

    I won't say anything about which is my favourite, but I hope you can all find something that you like. Feedback is more than welcome, so if you have some amazing song that you think could be used, I'd love to hear it. The poll closes in 5 days time. During this time I will be filming on the 1.08 server, so if you want to be famous play lots and lots in the next week!


    EDIT: New thread: go here.

    Dont they all sound kinda techno? What about sweeping, epic yet tragic classical scores? or some classical/rock mixes?

    Well when I asked this same question regarding the last trailer there seemed to be two schools of thought: the classical one, and the techno-industrial one. I gave the classical one a try in the last trailer, and although it worked well I want to try something different this time around.

    This will be much more high-energy than the last trailer (hopefully) with a higher death-count for both factions. Instead of focusing on "hey, look infantry combat!" and "oh noes, tanks!"; this time it will go more along the lines of "these people are at war, and they mean business!" and "there are all of these different roles that you can play for your team". This will be building on the last trailer in all aspects, something new and fresh for 1.08.

    As for the problems with the site, I'll see if I can host the MP3's.

    Supaste, you vote pointlessly! But I'm glad to know you like them.
    Sandbag, no.
    Goose, I will check out the cock song when I can.
    Jcw, I somehow think that the licensing may be an issue.

    I hope you all realise that many of these songs you are suggesting are not going to be usable. If you've heard it in the mainstream before, then it's probably gonna be a total bitch to get permission. I don't want to get anyone into trouble over something so trivial. Even if I do manage to get permission, it will take far too long to be viable.

    Where is that song in your link from rampant?

    EDIT: 120 views and only 9 votes? Does this mean that everyone hates them all?

    I'm gonna have to echo Don_Megel's sentiments here. I much liked the other trailer's music, not a big fan of the industrial stuff. Classical or rock or something, but not the sort of techno style.

    I don't know any songs, though. I say go with Duel of the Fates until George sues the pants off you. (Movie suckiness aside.)



    OO! OO! Better idea: Journey!
