Not trying to be rude but wow I just joined this forum yesterday and I feel like some people are just being negative for no reason and looking for anything to complain about. I think Johnny Cash was a great choice. I don't think the whole game is going to end up having a country soundtrack but we'll see. Anyway the music in the trailer was great because when it first came on most people probably didn't think it was Mass Effect and also it sets the tone for letting you feel like you're some badass hero out exploring the galaxy.

EDIT: Some classic Bowie or Rocketman from Elton John might have been a better choice tbh

It's just not "Mass Effect" music- or even close to it. Sure, it's not an awful choice, but it doesn't fit what you'd expect from Mass Effect given the standard the trilogy set.

I thought the song was quite fitting. A whole new frontier, adventuring into the unknown, setting up new colonies a long ways from the "established" settlements. A lot like the Old West. I quite liked it. If country isn't your thing, that's fine. But Johnny Cash wasn't just Country. Seriously, just look up his works. Listen to his songs. Ring of Fire is an instant classic (despite the name, would not really work for the Halo series). He also has some funny songs too.

Some people are like: This music is wrong!

And I'm like: Yippie-yi-ohhh, yippie-ya-yaaay!

No matter how much i appreciate JC's music, his songs don't fit in every situation, the music in the trailer clearly feels out of place.

They could have used Johnny Cash singing the Highwayman:

 

I fly a starship across the universe divide...

This trailer was made by the same company who thought Marilyn Manson was appropriate for Dragon Age. We're just lucky they chose someone good.

That Origins trailer was awesome, song included.

I only know the cover version that Iced Earth with Symphony X's Russell Allen did of that song but yeah that would have been great too.

If so then that sounds more tolerable. I do wish the guys made that trailer have little understanding about the real game, because the song actually reminds me of Dragon Age 2 style plot/gameplay.

Well, yes, but most of Bowie's space stuff has a cynical viewpoint of interactions with space. Space Oddity is a disaster of space exploration, the Ziggy Stardust album is about aliens saving us from the plot of Interstellar. And Rocketman is about a man's alienation.

 

I mean sure, "(Ghost) Rider In The Sky" is about the Wild Hunt (not that Wild Hunt [or not exactly]) but that doesn't actually go against the themes of the game we know so far.

 

That said I want all the Johnny Cash in my Mass Effect. I want to cruise that Mako across a beautiful garden world as "Big River" plays. I want the cinematic charm of playing anachronistic but thematically appropriate music and I want film grain god damn it!

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

I really wouldn't mind hearing a break in the type of music that was in the trilogy either. Mix orchestral with other stuff, less electronics. Maybe on a world that has a city have some radio stations you can tune the Mako to while you're exploring or even music you can tune your omni-tool to. Give us a choice. It's not that difficult. They did it in the GTA series and Fallout. I wouldn't mind hearing some

Yes, you're right this ISN'T what you would expect and that's not necessarily a bad thing. I like that they had the original music at the very end when they showed the title though, v dramatic.

So don't play Mass effect, go Red dead redemption or Uncharted, or Cowboy Bepop, but please don't touch Mass effect univers

Johnny Cash makes you feel like a "badass hero out exploring the galaxy"? 

[SolNebula]

Still I don't understand this outrage. I don't like Johnny Cash music. Full stop. I think a more MEish music would have been better. End of the drama for people outraged we don't like freaking Cash....and nope I don't feel bad for it. Deal with it!

[Super Drone]

I don't know why you're so offended at the notion that people are either (i) unfamiliar with Cash (ii) don't like his music very much or (iii) both. It's totally possible to vaguely know who Cash is without really listening to his music. It's not a big deal, except apparently to you, because Johnny Cash is some unbelievable music icon. 

 

 I'm not offended by people not liking Johnny Cash, or country music. I'm offended by shrill, directionless complaining. "I don't like this, so it's objectively bad and here's a shoddy, ******-poor chain of logic that only makes sense in my own head for why it's objectively bad".  BSN logic.

 

It's a teaser trailer. It's about exploring a new, lawless frontier. To North Americans, that draws parallels to The Wild West (of cinematic fame). So, Johnny Cash. What possible reason is there to shrilly gripe about that? Because they didn't make a trailer for you (hypothetical you), personally, according to your sensibilities? They didn't make the trailer for you. They made it for the general audience at E3. Solipsism is the watchword for most of BSN, but this is a magical new Pokeman-evolution level of solipsism expressed here.

[LPPrince]

Seriously folks. Its a song used in a reveal trailer. Its not a big deal, relax. Don't be the people that are still bringing up the DAO reveal trailer 6 years later because Marilyn Manson was used.

LOL ok this made me laugh idk how to explain it, other people are explaining it better than I am but yes Johnny Cash playing gave off this vibe of being a badass in some crazy unexplored territory, kind of like what old wild wild west movies do-and Bioware has said that Mass Effect is inspired by a lot of movies they grew up watching so maybe that was the vibe they were going for?? Idk what I'm talking about

[LPPrince]

You enjoyed it is what you're talking about.

Johnny Cash is awesome. I hope the protagonist of ME4 is Johnny Cash himself and he sings cowboy songs every time he fights and every line of dialogue is delivered in song.

If they'll manage, they'll cut the Mako and give us mounts to ride on!

[saladinbob]

It's a launch trailer. Launch. Trailer. Not in-game footage, and there will be plenty of other trailers between now and release. If the music in the game is Johnny Cash then sure, complain but complaining about a trailer that's using music to try emphasise a frontier feel to the game is really scraping the bottom of the barrel for complaints.
