Will Shenmue III's budget affect the quality of the music?

Postby Shenmue_Legend » Sun Dec 31, 2017 8:23 pm

I must say I'm quite concerned about this because I'm not sure whether it is actually a factor or not. Does a lesser budget mean the music won't be as great as it was in Shenmue I and II? I hope not because if it is, then I'll always be wondering how amazing it could have been. That's why I need this confirmed. Will this area of the game be affected in any way because of the budget or will we get high quality compositions anyway because it doesn't impact it at all?

They will be using unused tracks from the previous games

+ some of the mainstay music.

i would imagine they will reuse a lot of the situational themes from previous games like:

Live Forever was written when Noel Gallagher wasn't making any money from music. Timbaland, during his $1m/track days produced If We Ever Meet Again. I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

So no new compositions? Well if there aren't, I'm hoping the unused tracks are mind blowingly amazing enough to make that irrelevant!

They are. At least the ones we know. See the video below.

Also, Ryuji Iuchi is on the project and Yu said he will compose new tracks if needed. There are about 1200 unused Shenmue tracks in Sega's archives now.

You can rest assured. Iuchi-san's still got it. See the Kickstarter campaign theme below.

The project's budget is unlikely to negatively impact any of the games musical composition.

I love the fact that it will be using tracks that were recorded around the same time as the first two games.

The constant worrying about the game's budget is getting kind of old.

I agree. And it's almost always the same person. It's not even our job to worry about their business, AND we don't have the information that the company does about their finances.

Publishers and devs always find creative ways to pull more money in, I wouldn't worry about the budget.

I'm not worried but I'm REALLY curious about how they will handle the music.

Not only the compositions themselves, but the technology used to make it. Will it be based on plain audio files (ADX/WAV/MP3) or will it be track-based (like most ambiental music on the Dreamcast installments). Will they only re-use the compositions and re-record them? Or are they going to play the old recordings directly?

It would've been nice a new theme from Yuzo koshiro, but I guess that's asking too much :sad:

The new tracks he posted on his SoundCloud and YouTube a year or two ago were also excellent:
viewtopic.php?f=48&t=50628

The links in that thread no longer work, he pulled them all down for some reason. I saved copies of them when they were first released, but maybe he doesn't want them shared anymore.
