FM5 music is back in FM6

I'm not sure I agree with you after playing Forza Horizon 1 & 2.

Should have said Forza Motorsport there. Certainly wasn't an afterthought in Horizon. That said I've played games with great curated licensed soundtracks before (Tony Hawk 1, 2 & 3 immediately spring to mind) and Horizon's always seemed too Top 40 heavy for me.

Anyone else out there like the music in the FM6 demo? I took another look at it today, and the very first menu track caught me by surprise, it's pretty excellent (until the dramatic race-sequence starts up). After a bit longer in the demo, the track changed to some downtempo-industrial type stuff, and was really decent imho, for just a game. I wonder who they brought in to produce the music...

I also like the music, and its dynamic programming.

what I need though in the full game, is a full mixer for various sound channels and music too.
music is great as long as engine and tires sound 10x higher for me


edit:
music producer is Lance Hayes

he worked in forza 5



he worked in forza 4



he worked in forza 3

Glad this rumour turned out to be so much BS. The new music is fab.

Yep, can confirm the OST is back to FM3/4 greatness, no opera BS in sight.

As far as generic racing OSTs go, Opera nonsrnse is top tier.

I like the use of treated sounds in this soundtrack and how much more rhythmic and connected it sounds to me.

The ambient music in the menus is pretty nice. I like how different themes flow seamlessly in between menus / pre-race and loading screens. The rather heavy use of synthesizers also brings back some great memories playing racing games on Playstation in the 1990s.

I switched off the overly dramatic in-race music off as fast as I could though. No harm done as I always prefer nothing but car sounds when on track.

I just can't stand the forgettable action movie orchestral score used in-game. Why do developers think that's all racing fans want? The background music update can't come fast enough.

I like F6's menu and pre-race music. Gets you in the mood.

Though I'd have to say FM2 and 3 had the best menu tunes, particularly FM2.

I have to apologize for perpetuating that rumor. I was under the impression that the music was extremely similar to FM5's music. I am glad that I was wrong. So glad I was wrong. The Music in FM6 is awesome. My only gripe with the music, is you can't adjust it to be louder.
