I don't mind if they use real instruments this time instead of a synthesizer, but the tune should be exactly the same as the original version of the theme in TR1. NOT another remix like the sequels had for their title screens where half the melody was changed.

Yes please! The original theme is classic and to this day is the best TR song ever.

Very very Yes! A redone version, full orchestral, choirs, the works. Just keep the same tune. :tmb:

so they used a pc to make the music?

Yes! They'll have to use it or it won't be a classic. ;)

31-10-06, 11:07
yes i really like the classic themes from 1-3 its always the same but only everytime just a little different feeling:D

Night Crawler
31-10-06, 11:13
Absolutely! I think they will actually use it with this game, for nostalgia's sake. They'd upset a lot of fans if they didn't.

oooooh... imagine flipping in the AE disc, aiting for the crappy loading screens and then....... you hear the ancient TR tune softly playing in the background, and then the intro screen appears!

god, that would be the awesomest ever!
even if the track is remixed, i wouldn't care, they need to have the classic TR theme to revive that TR feeling...


oooooooooooooh can't wait!

31-10-06, 13:21
YES YES YES... I don't care even if it is a wind up monkey bashing away his symbols as long as it's the classic tr theme.

31-10-06, 16:43
A remastered version for me; Like the one in TR:AOD, you can still hear the "Classic" theme in it.

petujaymz
31-10-06, 16:53
Of course they should!

Slightly remixed off course - isn't thay always the way?

:wve:

Legends
31-10-06, 16:55
Yes! They should use all the Music/Sounds from TR1!!

Angel666
31-10-06, 20:53
Hell to the yes. I would be very annoyed if they don't. Oh, yes indeedy. :mis:

31-10-06, 20:54
It should be a remix of the original music I think. Same basic tunes, but orchestrated or something fancy like that.

Reggie
31-10-06, 20:58
The same as the original except orchestral, make it subtle yet striking, that's what I loved about the original music. Ahh just imagining something like that would be truly amazing.

Linden
31-10-06, 21:01
so they used a pc to make the music?

Do you mean back in the 1996?
Nope, they recorded music on tape back in those days... computer based recording were only coming in to the recording studios back then.
synthesizer is not the same thing as computer (PC)
This is synthesizer:

AoD had real instruments, a symphony orchestra, but i think every other game had synthesizer based music.

Rivendell
31-10-06, 21:01
100% Yes then!

Hear that Mr. Folmann? ;)

Blackmoor
31-10-06, 21:15
Yes please the original music for the AE.

I don't mind them remixing, but I hope they go careful. Don't overdo the orchestral bits, some of the beauty was in the particular way the music was presented.

Definitely No techno beats or arcade-y style music.

And also - I'm begging them, don't use CONTINOUS music. It kills the atmosphere.

Natla'd
31-10-06, 21:18
I don't know, I would kind of like to see it replaced with a rap...:D

Joking. Of course, they should use the original theme, or one closely like it. And they should sneak "Venice Violins" in somewhere while they're at it.

Terminatorvs
31-10-06, 21:42
You're asking the obvious question, knowing, what most (or ALL) fans will answer.
Yes! Yes!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

thevman
31-10-06, 22:03
Actually, they used digital tape for mastering music long before TR1, and they still master on digital tape before burning CD's for consumer consumption... ;)

Whoa Vman! Techy talk from south Chicago!

CD would be really missing the boat if they did not use the original theme. I would like to see them update some of the sound effects. The repetitive clanging in the Cistern needs some variety. After awhile in TR1 you could detect a pattern and I often wondered if there was some coded message in it?

thevman
31-10-06, 22:18
I'd tell you the coded secret but then it wouldn't be a secret any more and I'd have to kill you to keep it a secret... :mis:

No, it's a new creation. We will see new graphics, so i expect new music as well. ;)

Legend 4ever
01-11-06, 09:50
It shouldn't and it wouldn't.

Rivendell
01-11-06, 09:56
Well, 98% yes. Not quite a clean 100% request anymore!

Legend 4ever
01-11-06, 09:57
Or course it shouldn't if we don't want to stuck up in the 90's.

Rivendell
01-11-06, 10:02
Hahaha :vlol: Oh you really make me laugh :tmb:

Legend 4ever
01-11-06, 10:05
Why?
I'm serious.
Legend has a great soundtrack.
I would like many nature voices.

WhosaidAODwasbad
01-11-06, 13:53
Yes the original music should be THE music of the game, I would as like TR2 and 3 and also alot of Legends stuff. Because TR1 repeated alot of its music throughout the game, such as LOst Valley's ambience, ohhhhh creepy!

WhosaidAODwasbad
01-11-06, 13:55
My Question should they get an all new Voice acting crew for the game, or use some Legend and new people!

Rivendell
01-11-06, 13:56
I think they should use TR1 voice actors!

However, it's likely we'll have Keeley as Lara, though I hope they can get the same voices for Pierre, Larson and Natla!

Anyone else want James Earl Jones to voice Qualopec? :cln:

That would scare the poop out of me riv! :eek: I'd think darth vader was in the game! :vlol:

Oh, and phewy on legend soundtrack! :( I don't want techno music constantly playing in the background like I'm in some doctor's waiting room listening to muzak... :rolleyes:

I think it should be the original, maybe just a bit different

Yes the original, or a version like the one from AOD would be good...

Legend of Lara
04-11-06, 21:56
The original TR1 theme is so haunting, so beautiful. The lone flute sounding at first with other instruments then joining in. I always shed a tear of nostalgia when listening to that. Yes to an unaltered TR1 theme. It's the least CD can do after messing TR up with TRL.

04-11-06, 23:30

Oh you have to have the original music its un beatable. It sends shivers down my spine.

I think the same :D
Even if the theme is new, the essence of TR1 theme (that is in every single main theme till TR6) should be present.

that would be a big YES!... the main theme its and it will be the relief in the tomb raider feelings,.. i remember i got so happy when i heard it getting out on the first tombs in TR4 just before the jeep chase,.. they played that theme andi knew the level was almost over, and that from then on,.. i was safe,... so peacefull and nice,..

Catlantean
05-11-06, 18:49
They don't have to use the exact same track, but it would be very nice to hear the classic TR theme again :)

krycekuva
05-11-06, 19:08
and lots of classic music,.. it so nice when you hear classical music and in the same time you start kicking some butts..... like in venice.... whoa!!!! i thought in the movie angelina would also play some classical music while the house invasion, but bach was automaticaly shut down to hear some fat boy slim remix,... luckily in the second we have a little bit with the duet of flowers when she is kicking some allisters? butt too

krycekuva
05-11-06, 19:29
thanx croftgirl,..!!!!

im hearing some of the classics themes,.. ow gosh,.. so nice,.. so nostalgic....

i really miss those sounds,.. althou the main theme in legends was really nice, as much as the main theme in AOD... really good too,.. but the rest go kind of crappy,... i remember how much i love the music when fighting the first tiger in india,.. after the ball puzzle in the very begining...

Clasic TR theme but not so mild. I want something majestic and powerful like the end of AOD theme song!

I LOVE the music from TR1. Also someone else said they should remix it, I would like that too.

I'm your opinion! The end of the AOD theme was great!

By the way, in another forum, someone made this song for TR:A.
I don't know how he did it, but I really like it!

But still prefer the original.

LaraMan,please do not spam. You should post your opinion one at a time after the others:)

I would also like the original Theme Music to be implemented throughout the game in certain parts, like when Lara discovers ancient tomb like the Cistern, then cue the theme music

ahh.....the refreshing and soothing feeling that music can bring...it's just so haunting:)

they probably wrote the music on the paper or the pc and then played it in a synth...

Yes, but I want the proper classic one, not some altered version by anyone else...
