Having said this, Clint is known for writing music for clever, sophisticated movies lately - Fountain, The Moon; I wonder whether that means ME3 is going to be more emotional and sophisticated too.

As IGN put it, if nothing else, it gives us good reason to believe ME3 won't be just another action movie with guns and explosions.

This was expected, they either wanted to move as far a wat from the orginal mass effect as possible as or EA but the pressure on, to make the game more apppeal to mainstream players, to get more cash this is all evidenced by Mass effect 2 in which the style drasticly changed from a classical Sci'fi story to a more modern and polished game.

Clint Mansell certainly is good in what he does. However, ME and ME2 have established a signature soundscape for the series, so I hope the third instalment won't deviate too much from that.

Something to think about for all the Jack Wall fans..



I'm sure if you're into this sorta thing, you already know about it, but Jack Wall didn't do any of the music on the DLC for ME2, either. It's possible that he's been detached from this project for a long time and no one took notice?

[WidowMaker9394]

They've got one the most talented composers in the entire film industry working with them? A guy whom Hans Zimmer pales when compared to? The guy behind Lux Æterna?



Well played, Bioware, well played.

Well put. I'll be happy either way.

What??? Bioware didn't pickup Danny Elfman? Lol...just imagine Danny Elfman as the composer for Mass Effect 3. Laughing or crying or both at the same time yet?

Wow. Fantastic. This is so crazy, I remember suggesting he compose the score for ME1 before it was released, along with Amon Tobin and Bola. Too bad Gridlock is no longer together, would of loved to see their work in ME as well.

As for my personal favorite by Clint Mansell,

This so rocks. Can't wait to hear the score.

Yes, and that's definitely a 'DO WANT'! (Not that ME2 was all about guns and explosions anyway. )

I can't help but wonder how the mainstream and 'Hollywood-like' approarch ME2 took is going to сombine with Manshell's style.

P.S. I also wonder what Terror_K has to say about the news as he's very into ME1 style. As of now, it looks like ME3's mood and atmosphere are going to be something different from both ME1 and ME2. (We don't know much yet, though, so it's mostly speculation.)

Mansell is a good composer (although I'll puke if I hear Requiem for a Dream one more time), but I would have preferred sound consistency. If Jack Wall is gone, does that mean his entire team is gone too? Like Sam Hullick, he wrote some amazing pieces for the first two games.

Mass Effect 2's score was a bit different than the first, but not that much. I fear that Mass Effect 3 will turn into yet another full-orchestra (don't get me wrong, I'm generally a soundtrack nut and I love orchestras) run of the mill soundtrack... 

[Xerxes52]

Sounds good to me (haha). I loved The Fountain and Requiem for a Dream (heck, even the Doom movie soundtrack was decent).

Hope he does really well with ME3.

I love this track:

Welcome to Tahoe sounds like it came from Mass Effect, anyway. Excluding the first minute, that is. 

I swear the butthurt is easing, it's just taking forever. Fffffffff

Aftermath is really ME-ish, too. Crazy from a movie that's just people getting owned.

[Noilly Prat]

I'm curious if anyone around here has even heard Mansell's old band, Pop Will Eat Itself.  They did some great stuff.

Friendly suggestion to the people freaking out over this news and assuming it means that ME3's soundtrack is just going to consist of the Requiem for a Dream score playing over and over: make sure you know what you're talking about before you rage.

Seriously, this is still the best videogame related news I've heard in a long time.

[Terror_K]

Please tell me that he's actually simply joining Jack Wall and co. and not just doing it himself. To change the composer for the final third of the trilogy just seems silly to me. If this really is the case and Jack Wall is out, it's not exactly doing much to allay my fears that ME3 is going to be even more "Modern Hollywood" and even less "1980's-era-esque sci-fi" in style. The songs I've heard posted in this thread are too orchestral and not enough synth.

This is off the Faster soundtrack, and it's crazy how it sounds like it would fit in ME.

I'd rather have Faunts.

Um.  This comment strikes me as counterintuitive, considering the first two ME scores were much more "modern Hollywood" in terms of their generic qualities than anything I've ever heard from Mansell.

Edit: ... excepting the galaxy map music, I guess.

Seriously, I think a lot of you guys don't realize how versatile Mansell can be.  He does have a distinctive style, true, but not only do I think he'll be a good match for ME3, I think this is exactly the sort of thing that the videogame medium needs to elevate itself as an art form.  (I'm not saying there's no artistry in videogame music, either, but the majority is still incredibly generic, and Mansell is one of those rare composers whose work really stands out among film music.)

SO GOOD.

I have heard this song too much to actually appreciate it. First I thought it was okay, now I just roll my eyes when I hear it... again.

Haters gonna hate. I knew this only as "that movie trailer song" for about 5 years before someone told me that the song was called "Requiem for a Dream" (it's not), but then when I went looking for it I found out it was actually called Lux Aeterna.

I agree that it's overused, but it was used so often because it's so good. I understand you disagree, but it's pretty obvious that most people think it's awesome. It's the definitive "epic" track, and in the film Requiem for a Dream it was used to great effect (Ironically not even close to an action movie, or even remotely grand in its scope, despite how the music was used in trailers and people's videos on youtube afterwards, lol).

I'd rather have Muse and Dream Theater tag-teaming with the ghost of Freddie Mercury for the soundtrack, but we can't always get what we want.

I'm impressed Bioware. I just hope that he will be able to keep the distinct feeling of ME in his music.



But damn .... ME3 must have a massive budget.
