Are you satisfied with the choice of the intro song, in GT5?

BlacqueJacques
No, I am not satisfied and so I canceled my pre-order Collectors Edition:mad:

:sly: Just kidding :)

Could care less about the music; I usually have music zet to zero; as I want to hear engine and tyre noise more đź‘Ť

This is the intro music not the game play music (it might be both but....)

I could care less about the music in all aspects of the game, because I do the same. Let the engines and tires make the music!
 
I really, REALLY hope at least the japanese version will feature the usual and epic Moon Over the Castle.

All previous versions had it, and so should GT5.
 
I hate the band. I hope they take in the criticism and change it. So far they've had the best choices for their trailers... why are they going for such an awful group? :<
 
Sorry but that song just won't do. Aside from the classic Moon over Castle they should look at the past for great inspiration, Everything must go, My favorite game, and Panama got you to want to drive not turn the console off.

To quote Rick James, I wish I had more hands so I can give this (soundtrack) four thumbs down!

I agree on the Panama comment, it was a song that just got me all revved up (no pun intended).
 
I haven't checked but I will bet money that MCR are on a Sony recording label and probably have a new album coming out around the time of GT5.

I doubt anyone who worked on GT5 had much input into this choice, or if they did it was likely selected from a small list of similar Sony recording "artists". All marketing as others have pointed out.
 
*sigh* stupid band, stupid song title, stupid genre, to sum it all up why is it that here in America we are subjected to marketing and commericalised music??? i'll bet my GT CE that this crap won't be used in the eu version let alone the japanese version of the game "I'm facepalming the Sony logo on Walkman MP3 player!"
 
Gotta laugh at the statement of America being subjected to something.

Look what you did to our beloved Colin McRae. RIP.
 
Wow, really. You guys all arguing about the intro music? And because you hate the band, they should change it? Is the intro really going to hurt gameplay?

Rubbish argument. Arguing about GT5's intro music is like arguing about porn because you don't like the acting.

Well, it the latest info, and so people are dicussing because they got nothing better to discuss. And just like GT makers are into fine details, the GT fans are also into fine details.
 
far from it!

this song, if you ask me, doesn't go well with the whole racing theme what-so-ever... oh well, i'll be pressing 'start' straight away every time anyway....... i wanna play the game, not view the intro :)
 
I REALLY hope the EU doesn't get this rubbish...
I hope you can set which intro you want... i.e. choose which region's intro you want. I'd definitely pick the JP version then.
 
I wish they had both Japanese and Eu or US versions of the game OST or intro song and you could have an option or some PS3 setting if you dont want to run the default song for your region. Almost every single time the Japanese version gets the epic into and soundtrack and the rest of the world is stuck with some ****** grunge or emo band becasue japanese think all westerners like that music.
 
It's very very hard to hear the actual notes from the bass and guitars in that video so it sounds pretty dodgy as the vocals and synth are the only thing really coming through.

To be honest I can see the song working very well. It will be edited down quite a bit and it will suite what's going on on-screen perfectly IMHO.

I'm not the biggest MCR fan in the world, but I think it's quite silly that people are hating on them so much just because they dislike the band and in turn will hate the song no matter what it's like.

Anyway, at the end of the day its only the intro, you'll watch it once or twice and never see it again.

Then don't bother posting in here.

@Topic: No I'm not, but I wasn't with the european versions of GT3 and 4 either so it's not that of a big deal. I just would've have thought that they'll pick Soul On Display because of that competition - maybe this will at least be the song for the japanese intro because it fits the game pretty well IMO.
 
I have a strong bias against most pop punk bands but this is ridiculous. I watched the video posted recently about Planetary (GO!) live and it wasn't that bad. People just like to jump on band wagons. People rooted for Spain during the World Cup simply because they were winning. More recently, this same thing happened with the SF Giants. Is a 3 or 4 minute song causing you THAT much angst? Be realistic here. How does the song selection for the intro detract in any way from the actual game play?
 
Well...just to lighten the mood here and have some fun, the music could have been alot worse. No offense to all the Honda rice lovers, but I know PD has more class and would never use these "Honda rap songs". However, if PD asked these guys to do the intro...oh dear...:yuck:

Anyways, few YT videos for those who have no clue what I'm talking about. Honda Ricer Fans Rejoice. It's for fun so don't take it too seriously.

Warning: There's a tweeny bit of language here and there. I warned ahead so don't fry me please. :scared::scared: Edit: Just to be safe, I'm just posting the links.

Back on topic, I think Soul On Display could be used as the new ending song.
