Original trailer music track in final game

[ravecoyote]

I just read the discussion about the current Kingdom Come alpha ingame music. And it seems that many of us share the same passion for epic music or medival music.

So, I was wondering if it is planned to use the original trailer music in the final game?

In my mind the original trailer soundtrack “Audiomachine - Warlords” (everyone might find it on youtube) is so very much connected to this game. When I hear the first seconds my mind wanders of to Kingdom Come and I think it’s an absolutely perfect match.

Personally I think that the track should also become part of the final game - gives me goosebumps. And I’d really like to think what the communitys thougths about this are. And of course what the warhorse guys think.

So, this post was the first time I came across anything suggesting that the music from the trailer wasn’t going to be in the game.
To be completely honest, the awesome music they used in the trailer is a part of the reason I decided to back the game, and it’s a huge part of the reason I backed it at the level I did. I had assumed that the soundtrack used in game would be of a similar style to that of the trailer, and that the specific track used in the trailer would feature at some point in the game — at least on the main menu, if not also at climactic moments in the game.
If the music isn’t of a similar awesome style to the trailer, I’m going to be really, really disappointed. They’ll have deeply mislead everyone who backed them based on what we saw in the Kickstarter video, and expected the game to contain that kind of stuff.

Reading the other threads on the game’s music that I found, I must say I’m really worried that the direction that they’re taking the game’s music is going to be disappointing.

EDIT: Just read this post, and I feel a lot more at ease, now. I had forgotten how much I loved the music from the teaser trailer, which I presume is part of the OST. But knowing that the music is going to care about having good leitmotifs, and should hopefully sound chilling and beautiful, but also epic when that’s necessary, is definitely a great sign. IMO.

They clearly said early on that the music for this Kickstarter trailer was exclusively for this trailer. The licence for that music couldn’t be used for the real game.

Also I want to let you know that music is important to Daniel. I mean like REALLY important and I know that because I talked with him about it for like 40 minutes not only about KCD’s music, but Mafia 1 and 2 and music about other games like Skyrim, which he reasonably criticised to be a soundtrack being not authentic for Norse music and the music is in many ways interchangeable. What you should value in the current music is that it’s the first original track recorded by a real Symphony Orchestra and this costs lots of money and also takes a lot of time, so it’s quite a fortunate coincidence that we’re getting music in the Alpha.

Also you should get your ears free from those compressed orchestral sounds. Although many AAA productions make advertisements for the game’s soundtracks because they recorded a real orchestra, but they don’t tell you how much of mixing and mastering is done after the tracks have been recorded.
