True.

Still, I would like the MWO movie in the intro of the game.

Does it? Great, I love Daft Punk!

Oh yeah!

Well it certainly isn't Nickelback. Daft Punk is awesome, I'll have to give Da Funk a spin and see about this theory. Frankly I would be cool with the theme song they've been using being expanded upon and loopable in-game.

To answer the title question... not really, at least not to me.
There is a slight resemblance, bit it strikes me as a slight one at best.

There is a somewhat extended version from MWO's GDC video.


Personally, I think it sounds more similar to (an industrial rock version of) Wolfgang Gartner's "Illmerica" (particularly the segment from 0:36 to 0:50, or from 1:50 to 2:20) than to "Da Funk".


Your thoughts?

Ah yea, i was just wondering i was watching all the trailers and then some how it got Da Funk in my head.... It may be just me, IONO they both sound close, but like i said when i watched the trailers like 6 of them after that five minutes later i was humming Da funk. I guess it is the combanation of the beat and the music. also it is going at the same tempo. and it makes the mechs look like they are walking to the beat. such as 0:35 - 0:44 my mind is crazy.

Ok after lisenting to the original, it is no where near Daft Punk.

I'd say those passages are almost dead on. Good call. Either way, I'll definately pick this up as an mp3 and add it to my mk1 playlist for MW:O.

EDIT Gave both another listen - Illmerica is almost dead on but not quite. Tempo's a bit faster and the key is different which combined with the choice of intsruments, if digital can be described in that manner, makes the MW:O theme a very closely related but still noticeably different animal. Say for example, a coyote compared to a fox.

All that aside I still would love to see an extended version of the MW:O theme be made available in the future.

To be fair, I wasn't the first to notice the similarity - that distinction goes to another.

The one from the teaser trailer from back in February (which also happens to be the same song from the GDC video linked earlier in the thread).

Oh ok, the background track. I'm not sure its a theme though.

Variations of the same tune also show up in the other videos, to the point where it seems to be considered the de facto theme song for MWO.

they need to release this trac
