Yeah a collaborative effort would be so much better than just having Clint Mansell. But I'm sure it will be great regardless!

Thank you Wall of Sound for the awesome musical score's! The music you created for the Mass Effect universe was brilliant and I will never forget what you did for the franchise.


Looks like Bioware and EA forgot what Jack Wall/ Sam Hulick and the team did for the Mass Effect Franchise.... Image IPB

Oh boy, here we go.

Yes indeed here we go

I am just supporting Jack Wall and friends.

That does not mean I will not buy Bioware games. DA2 and ME3 are preorders for me and Clint's involvement does not change that.

Jack Wall is a musical god to me and Clint isn't (yet) based on his previous work which is average at best. Image IPB

I know AwesomeName and a couple others will swoop in and reaffirm that Clint is gonna be amazing, but all I ask of Clint is to treat this like a real project. I'm obviously not the only one who feels this way or we wouldn't have 20+ pages. 

Just crossing my fingers.


*Swoops in and basks everyone in his glorious, heavenly light*

He's gonna be amazing.  Ah, gotta go - I hear Ron Burgundy calling for help...

*Swoops off into distance with his feisty animal companions*

Sad to see you go Mr. Wall. But thank you for your wonderful music.

Really dissapointed to hear Wall won't be involved in ME3. His music perfectly captured the atmosphere of the first two games and now this other guy is gonna come in and totally disregard Wall's work. I don't care how good the new guy is, its just not going to be the same as Wall. And Mass Effect 3 will be worse off for it.

Average at best? Look, I'm a WallofSound fanboy just like the next guy, but average at best? I'ma leave that alone.

People are bitter, reluctant to change, I get that, but hyperboles won't help.

If I was bitter I would not buy Mass Effect 3. I however cannot wait to get ME3. In democracy you are allowed to express your opinions even if the opinions run counter to yours.



I am conforming to the TOS and I am allowed to say that Jack Wall is great and that in my opinion Clint Mansell has a lot to prove. You like Clint then great for you. I don't so there.

I say Bring back Jack Wall, leave the dance with the one that brought you.



Mansell is good, but the music in the games already been awesome, it doesn't need any help from the bullpen.



There's still time to fix this error Bioware, bring Jack back or make it a collaboration, that would be awesome.

Which other Clint Mansell music fits that scene?

I like that you made the video - it definitely fits - it's just that it's used so much that it overshadows a lot of his other work.  I'm not sure what else fits - but I will say that it's enormously refreshing when people pimp his other music!  Especially his work for the Fountain and Black Swan... but even stuff he's done for more b-movie stuff is actually really good for what it is.

If some of you really cant see why some people arent so excited about it, its obvious. Consistency. Doing last chapter of a trilogy suddenly with different composer who isnt even a game music composer is somehow... not usual.



And sometimes, famous composers who score movies are threating scoring for games as second-class project.



I didnt hear any samples from ME 3 from Clint so I´m not judging his capabilities as for scoring a videogame right now.



But I´m not excited at all...and I like Clint´s movie scores. But games are very different. As Jesper Kyd said, game composers should try something different and not just copy movie music, otherwise it will never gain respect it deserves.

Remember that Clint Mansell "was in the space" while composing the soundtrack for Moon (great soundtrack, by the way, few people use to remember this one when talking about Mansell).

I listened to some of his music on youtube, and sure, he is good. But still, were is Jack Wall?! I absolutely will not tolerate losing the epic Mass Effect theme for the "epic conclusion" that I hope ME3 will be...

Many people in this thread assume it was BioWare's choice to get rid of Jack Wall and his team, as if they couldn't make the decision themselves.

I really don't see why Clint Mansell would make things harder on himself by ignoring 2 entire games worth of music reference and start from scratch.  The guy has a diverse range of experience with different genres of music; he's proven that he can seamlessly weave his own style with a pre-existing body of work; and a lot of his work is just downright incredible, especially for films which weren't made for mainstream cinema.  He strikes me as the kind of guy who has the artistic integrity to do a great job, provided the subject matter, not his salary, demands it.  He can do this.

We will see. I´m very curious. But still there should be Jack, Sam and Wall of Sound. It´s like SW VI without John Williams for me.

 One thing I have noticed about this fanbase is everyone overreacts to news when we have nothing to go off of.  Everyone just calm down and actually wait to hear the music before you start complaning about it.

Weirdly enough I don't remember ever thinking that the music was even remotely spectacular while playing the first Mass Effect at least. Could somebody remind me of a particularly great track perhaps?
