Manakin Skywalker 4,897 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 No one has taken credit for the music yet, but the main melody sound exactly like a reoccurring pattern in Will Roget scores so I'm taking a wild guess that it could be him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ EDIT: I told y'all so! enderdrag64, artus_grayboot and Brando 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tydirium 1,167 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I’m guessing it’s Gordy Haab. The music at the very end is highly reminiscent of the Cal Kestis theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music at the very end is highly reminiscent of the Cal Kestis theme. Gordy and Will have a very similar style overall. Will has been doing a lot of the "smaller" SW games (including a major one that was cancelled) so I wouldn't be surprised if they were alternating now with more games being developed in a smaller window.

Tydirium 1,167 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Could be. But by “highly reminiscent” I mean, it’s the exact same rhythm, and even the exact same last 4 notes. It’s not just a similar style; this is either Haab, or Roget blatantly modeled his theme on Haab’s Cal Kestis theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something I didn't think about yesterday: this is Ubisoft's "open world" game they announced last year... meaning it's likely to have multiple composers. So it could be both!

Gabriel Bezerra 302 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Okay... I'm interested, though open world isn't really my thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it could be both! After watching the gameplay video, I was just about to come here and say this! During the first part I was starting to doubt that it was Haab (both due to the music as well as the non-LSO-sounding orchestra; still sounded great, though!), but then later on during the ship battle I thought the music sounded very Haab and the orchestra sounded very London. We’ll see! Manakin Skywalker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Manakin Skywalker 4,897 Posted June 13, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2023 I was right! (3) Will Roget on Twitter: "It’s a huge honor to finally announce I’m the lead composer of #StarWarsOutlaws !! Super grateful to return to my "alma mater" franchise, and I’m routinely amazed with how the game’s shaping up. Please check out our story trailer: #gamemusic" / Twitter artus_grayboot, Tydirium and enderdrag64 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Laserschwert 475 Posted June 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2023 Some quotes from that Twitter thread: Quote At the moment I'm not at liberty to say, but I've got some incredible collaborators I've wanted to work with for years. :-) Quote And yup, I scored the trailer as well - we were blessed with a masterful performance by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra! Quote We have the @RSNO orchestra to thank, their performance on the trailer and throughout the score was phenomenal. Was really a privilege to work with their group! Quote Royal Scottish National Orchestra! This is I believe their first video game score recording, they were absolutely stunning Quote I took a lot of influence from Indiana Jones as well as SW so I'm glad it comes through :-) Is that last quote maybe a hint, that he's composing for the new Indy games as well?

SilverTrumpet 638 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Doesn't sound like a hint at all. He was really impressed we figured out it was him before it was announced, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say no because the score wasn't made for the game, which came out the following year. artus_grayboot and Schilkeman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faleel 5,355 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Yeah, it's a concert work, not a video game score. Manakin Skywalker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,466 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 The new SW game looks like will be a representative of everything that is wrong with the gaming industry these days. https://www.ign.com/articles/star-wars-outlaws-jabba-the-hutt-mission-locked-behind-season-pass enderdrag64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schilkeman 964 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 The problem is games like this cost $100, but they're selling them for $70. It's the delivery fee of gaming. Mega Man on the NES was $60. I paid $80 for Shadows of the Empire on N64 in 1997, but it's a bad look to sell a game for that much, so they do this sort of bullshit. The AAA space is unsustainable for the amount of money they're spending to make these things. Something will have to change, and I guess it already has, with so many big publishers getting bought by platform holders. Ubisoft has been "for sale" for a few years now.
