marbrorstad 3 Posted January 17, 2013 Post what you think would set the mood an DayZ SA-intro.For extra points post music you have created yourselves!Max one link in each post.My first pick is one that maybe only works the first time you see the intro, but for those who have heard the song before or like it now, after having listened to it, surely would get a kick hearing this song before starting up SA for the first time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadMags 32 Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Love the Faith No More version but might as well just use the original Sabbath version.I think DayZ lends itself to a more desolate sounding instrumental type of music personally but still a top tune you've chosen.Only thing that springs to mind is a good ol' bit of Aphex Twin... although it takes a while to get going.

frisepoile2 (DayZ) 0 Posted January 17, 2013 Maybe the diablo 2 tristram theme?I think it fits well with the whole desolate and dark feeling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris529 380 Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) I think this really fits if the map is still Chernarus or the soundtrack for this game: http://www.kongregat...Skipper/insurgo sorry I couldn't get music by itself, also it's random which song plays but they are all pretty good.

scoffield77@gmail.com 192 Posted January 17, 2013 Maybe ... In the Woods actually fits DayZ amazingly This was used in GoW3 trailer, but I think it fits quite well with DayZ.I think DayZ would need a sad feeling acoustic song, anything else wouldn't do it justice. Something maybe by Johnny Cash ;) I like Kino, the band Chris posted... HA maybe they should use Mad World! ;) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoffield77@gmail.com 192 Posted January 17, 2013 I'd also think Opeth would do great band to use songs from, they have a generally dark feel around their songs. And let's face it DayZ will be a dark game ;) Isolation Years or I feel the Dark fit well ;) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris529 380 Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Johnny Cash would be cool, Dawn of the Dead (the remake) used When the Man Comes Around and it was good, pretty much anything that sounds kind of sad is good.EDITThat's why I think Kino is suitable not only because it clicks with the Chernarus environment (Kino is 80s soviet rock band) but also because they have some sad and some almost cheery music. You can check out some of their songs if you want, I would recommend and Edited January 17, 2013 by Chris529 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marbrorstad 3 Posted January 17, 2013 Completely agree that an ambient theme would be the most appropriate, but my first pick there "war pigs" is in my opinion a cool idea beacuse it`s open to interpret out of your personal playstyle, kind of.Say if you were a bandit - it would sound rebelleous in a "let`s do some damage" wayA hero - It would kind of remind you of who is your targets and who you protectNew players - I`m thinking it would remind me that when I log in for the first time, and get that greeting song, I would be afraid. Very afraid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoffield77@gmail.com 192 Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) The issue I see with Kino, is that a lot of people don't understand Russian, I can only barley read it. Plus that it clicks with chernogorsk is a double edge blade. Maybe I'm thinking to hard... but I don't want to lock DayZ down to only Eastern European cultures. Though I do think that Kino song does fit the bill ;) This is one of my all time favorite songs. The vocalist shows so much pain in this song. There's a lot of emotions, plus it's lyrically genius.

Selected ambient work : volume 2 by AFX : welcome to hell ! :D(played DayZ on low populated, night servers, and damn it's scary when you can't see at all and you have this kind of music with the zombies around...)

Guest Posted January 17, 2013 Gotta be you being chased by zombies and falling off a cliff into the ocean, then clips of you drifting back to shore further away, then you waking up surrounded and the camera pans up to show you surrounded by zeds.Whilst Black by Kari kimmel is playing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wep0n 532 Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Jean Pierre Taieb - The DivideJust wanted to give a reason: I think that the game should be more about the drama of the apocalypse than about our nerd wish of smacking heads.yep. this is my clear favorite. i can really see this being the standalone track. whitout the vocals it would fit perfectly for the "bandit" part of the game, but the lack of drama really doesnt fit for the generic survivor.I think this really fits if the map is still Chernarus while i dont think it should be the intro of the standalone, this should DEFENITELY be available to listen to in the game itself.imagine a bunker or bar or something... then you walk in and hear this... cant be more atmospheric/authentic than that.Edit: i found in a dayZ video, it doesnt fit as a standalone soundrack, but the lyrics and sound kinda define dayZ... this is the thing a survivor might sing on the campfire with a guitar, fully aware that he will die one day, and respawn some day...

Meeshe 170 Posted January 17, 2013 "Aenema" by Tool. Edited of course, bits and pieces of that song still get me jazzed, sad, and creeped out to this day. I also agree on the Johnny Cash "When the Man Comes Around" referenece earlier. But might be too cliche for some since its been done before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quartermaine 34 Posted January 18, 2013 Watch the first zombie attack in 28 weeks later with this as the only sound playing. Alternately this is what I play DayZ to: 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scoffield77@gmail.com 192 Posted January 18, 2013 would be awesome if you could find cassette tapes and use them in cars or player in a house etcThat would be amazing, or maybe have a plugin for itunes or MP3 players en general where you can broad cast songs threw a make shift radio station. There could be a entire FM Net! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
