Please use the score from the first movie

[VolodymyrNZ]

Please please please use some of Basil Poledouris's score in the game. Especially the iconic "Klendathu Drop" in large bug attack waves. I will pay more for the game if its was in the game :)

I mean, if they got the permission to use in the first SST TC trailer, surely that would mean they have the permission to use the same score in the game too?

um the trailer doesn't have the music from the movie. its music that kind of sounds like the movie music.

example:

"Klendathu Drop" the movie theme https://youtu.be/CIGHCoVzqtk

Yep, you're actually right, guess I was wrong, that music was very similar

Duno if some remembers ,or even knew about Starship Troopers (an Fps) ,2005
from Strangelite and Empire interactive,but they used some clips from the first movie ,and it's ...sequel, with a narator speaking over,but you could clearly hear gunfire,shouts and even the original music here and there.
Saddly Poledouris's OST was not used in the actual game during missions, and replaced by a completly original composition with a good inspiration nevertheless.It was not bad at all btw
And of course they used an homemade version of "Klendathu Drop".
Check it out,it's the first track:

OST with/as DLC, DLC allows for OST to be used?

[Warlok]

Variations on Poledourian themes, as the excellent Richard Jacques did for the Starship Troopers fps.

Licensing may well have been the issue with not using the OST

[Brother Kaku]

Will pay more for score!

Its actually a bit strange that they didnt. When I think of a starship trooper game the theme from the first movie always pops into my head. Just feels right so its a bit strange not hearing it at all in the game.

COpyright issue/agreement ? In the case the game fails maybe

The music seemed good to me thus far, though - and good for the game - my focus was not upon that music but for the cinematic scenes (which were/are great), since the game itself was engaging.

My impression of the game overall was that it had the style of the film down. That thus far to my ears includes the music, and I'm a Poledourian adherent for sure.

I agree with this. I get its probably a licencing issue and its a cost issue, but a game about a film where the music is one of the most recognisable features is essential imo.

It's more than essential!!!

When your game is based on a movie (and not the books) why do they work on respecting the visuals, the aesthetics, but not the music? It's just a issue of money, evidently.

But, get for sure that if they don't get the license of the original score, the game will be much much worse, because it is so iconic.

Look at Terminator: Resistance game, i.e. They didn't get the license of the exact original music, but they did get license to score a version/cover of the main theme and the rest of the music was so similar.

If they do get license to re-create Klendathu Drop, it will be more than enough. The rest of the music just need to be "similar" to the original from Poledouris.
