Sounds amazing

I would be happier if Soule composed for TOR too, but it's good either without him. Anyway I'm enjoying his work on Skyrim XD

FUCKING YESSS come on who cant wait for star wars the old republic.. ive been waiting over 3 years for it!! and in december finally we get our hands on it!!

I really hope The Old Republic gets a multiple disc soundtrack release!

And for that matter, I wish the KotOR and Force Unleashed games had official soundtrack releases too!

The music in those games is amazing!

@Revangroe If it was just Mark Griskey, I would probably be a bit concerned. His KotOR II soundtrack was brilliant. It captured the Sith, and the ominous aura of the Sith, better than even Jeremy Soule's KotOR I. Darth Nihilus' Theme is still a masterpiece to me; it fits the character so well, and just conveys this sense of ancient evil. That said, he's not known for his light-hearted work, like you said.

Fortunately, it seems like they have an eclectic crew working on SWTOR.

@Karmiangod The game is still in closed beta. The graphics are improving every day.

Jeremy Soule is composing for Guild Wars 2,both games have epic music and will be amazing :)

I'm glad they're doing so much thematic material. Hearing the theme for a particular character or place gets me really excited :D That choir music sounds incredible!

[Revangroe]

I...don't know how I feel about Mark Griskey as Lead Composer. His work on KotOR II was great, perfect, but he does write moodier, heavier music, such as Force Unleashed. This game (in terms of mood) seems closer to KotOR I than KotOR II, as I understand it. I'm not complaining, though, the music still sounds excellent. I really like Will Roget's stuff from the official music trailer from the main website, hopefully he'll stick around.

i wish we could tune out their talking and just listen to the backround music
