[QUOTE=cdr248;50282472]poor music choice is poor music choice regardless of how you cut it.
of course that doesn't automatically make the game or the trailer immediately bad, but i think it's a valid complaint even if minor[/QUOTE]
It's perfectly fine.
There's a reason all the people who think it should have been Classical/Folk/1910s Popular music don't do this for a living. They're completely clueless on how to make an impression.

I fucking hope that the Canadian military's in this game, iirc they contributed quite a bit during WW1.

I think these are the perfect times to release a game like BFH, people want more class based games I feel.

I think DICE would rather stand apart from the competition than try to cash in on the cartoon shooter moba fad which is already dying.

Exactly.
This trailer was about overturning peoples expectations of WWI, selling the idea the Great War can be fast-paced and exciting. Old time or classic music would have been completely the wrong way to go.
who ever said classical music had to be an alternative what

I'm glad someone said it because a lot of the edits in this thread and others have been dreadful. Would have been embarrasing to see that on the reveal stream.
That Woodkid one was pretty good though.
[QUOTE=cdr248;50283517]who ever said classical music had to be an alternative what[/QUOTE]
What would you rather it be?
I don't like the white stripes. I don't listen to similar music.
The wikipedia page for Seven Nation Army has a massive section on it's popularity. It's especially popular with sports fans for drumming up excitement. The signature guitar riff is energetic yet foreboding (much like the trailer) and well known. The simplicity of the riff means that you can change the intensity and mixing at different points in the trailer to match the tone of a given scene - it feels like you're listening to a different song while the tank is surging forward than it does when the Zeppelin is hovering ominously overhead, yet in reality it's still uniform. It makes an impression on people that's important from a marketing standpoint.
The music accomplishes everything it has to accomplish. Arguing about this is a waste of time.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;50283740]I just thought this particular remix sounded a bit like a filtered fart vaguely to the tune of 7na
Perhaps just use the original?[/QUOTE]
Maybe you're right, I don't know much about the song. But would the original have adapted to that varying tones point I brought up? The distorted nature of the remix works well there.

a valid complaint that should have really ended by now? I mean we all get it now, music was bad choice, they could have done something else, but they went with that the did, whatever.
This argument is going on way to long when we should all be excited that we're getting a real high end, high budget, WWI video game!
How do I post vines?

What else should people discuss? You can't really go beyond speculation with anything except for the game's aesthetic. There's next to no gameplay in the trailer, just hype for scripted campaign setpieces, and if previous Battlefield campaigns have taught me anything, then it's that they're boring, on-rails experiences that don't even try to represent the multiplayer. Yes, its cool that they're doing WWI, it's long overdue and all that, but this trailer does nothing to inform me of how the actual game (multiplayer) will handle. If Hardline is any indicator, it'll simply be the same old Battlefield with some new clothes. All that I can say with certainty after watching this trailer is that the game will look amazing and that the people behind it have shit taste in music (the music DOES fit with the trailer, but that doesn't change the fact that it's White Stripes), shit taste in titles (what, Battlefield 191X wasn't possible?), and are spending time and money developing another bombastic campaign instead of more multiplayer maps and modes.

there going to be dlc,.
[QUOTE=27X;50281636]"I don't like this music so it doesn't fit at all and is shit, pay no attention to the fact the scenes are literally cut and edited to fit the music, because my butthurt is more important than what's objectively on screen"
I'm usually the first guy to kick shitty marketing in the balls, because I have to deal with it at my job directly sometimes, but nothing about this doesn't fit. They cut the trailer directly to the music, cue by cue, and it fits.[/QUOTE]
Cutting the trailer to the music and the music being an appropriate choice for the footage are two different things.
You wouldn't want the trailer to be set to Celine Dion, even if it was cut perfectly to the music, because it simply doesn't evoke anything related to what you're seeing. It's especially unfitting because Battlefield already has a very well established and very well known theme song. It's like having a Star Wars trailer set to Alt+J or something.
No one(the majority at least) wants an old classical war music relation to WW1 for their hype-adrenaline fueled reveal trailer. Yeah, in an accurate standpoint the music sucks but from a marketing view it hypes everyone up. It pulls the audience in who have no idea what the Great War is with cool music. Like it's supposed to.
Music taste is arbitrary you can't just say the song is bad I bet a huge majority of peope liked it, I think it was perfect for what the reveal of the game was trying to do
Yeah it's not like they had a trailer for Battlefield: Vietnam 2 with techno music or anything
That would be the real travesty

Space Oddity is one fucking good song
Yeah, even though cod: infinite has dated graphics. They did show ingame graphics, and had a very good song fitting the trailer. In my opinion the dislike hate that cod trailer got was uncalled for. We will see how it actually is when it releases. Battlefield 1 however has better cards on the table since they went and took an original theme route, something that no one expected them to do. So i hope BF1 will do good design choices along with gameplay to fit the ww1 theme. Which is easier said than done.
[QUOTE=ripsipiirakk;50292419]In my opinion the dislike hate that cod trailer got was uncalled for.[/QUOTE]
Word on the street is all the dislikes was the the remaster was only to be bundled with the special legacy edition of the game. You couldn't buy it standalone, and not included with all versions of IW
The legacy edition is 23 pounds more expensive if anyone's wondering

I didn't feel like it fit at all, it played like a bad machinima in my opinion. The track was not thematically relevant other than having space-themed lyrics. It didn't suit the action going on and the sequences in the trailer weren't written or cued to match an ironic choice (like setting an extremely violent Fallout kill montage to the cutesy fifties music) so it just clashed.

Space Oddity is a good song. That cover they used sure isn't. And considering David Bowie's recent passing, the timing is just poor

If the marketing team thought Celine Dion would get millions of hits, they would use her. This trailer has 25 million hits. The same complaints were thrown out when a competing franchise used Nate Dogg and Eminem; utterly unfitting, disrespectful to the music, disrespectful to the franchise, didn't represent anything properly, jarring, not the right tone and mood...
10 million hits later people got over it.
[quote] alt J [/quote]
I guarantee you WHEN there's a Star Wars Ocean's 11 movie, and I do mean WHEN, not if... cause this is Disney we're talking about, Alt J, Beck, Weezer and Modest Mouse will be the top choices, along with some saxophone alt-jazz band for the hook sting at the beginning before our scrappy misfits get together to plan the "ultimate ______."
So I did a recut of the trailer using this song
[QUOTE=ClarkWasHere;50277671]I think the last part of Woodkid's Land of All where the instruments kick in harder would have been perfect for an intense combat filled trailer without any instruments sounding too digital and out of place.

Alternative version:
What?? Music with computer generated sounds??? I fucking HATE dubstep
This thread has now produced three versions of the Battlefield 1 trailer cut to that Woodkid song and all of them sound good. With some proper cutting, the song and the trailer could go together amazingly.
lmao it's page 9 and you guys are still arguing about the music
