Ok, so the gameplay of Odyssey looks stupid fun, and I love the world designs and themes I've seen so far, but I have one question.

WHERE'S THE FUCKING MUSIC?

To my knowledge, the only level that has music playing throughout it is New Donk City, and that's only when you reach the city proper. Every other level seems to only have ambient sound, or an almost generic sounding soundtrack in some sections of the level. Where's the more bombastic tracks akin to what we heard in the trailer or past mainline console Mario games?

Mario isn't Zelda, it doesn't benefit from having a more laid back soundtrack (and honestly neither did Zelda in some cases). Why are Nintendo's bigger games getting the shaft on soundtrack while smaller games like ARMS and Splatoon 2 get awesome bombastic and stylish soundtracks?

This game is shaping up to be a massive blunder if they skimp on the soundtrack.

The only place that didn't have music was the deep wood

What are you talking about? The music is very noticeable

THIS ISN'T THE MARIO I KNOW
>>
There's plenty of music, people are just going "WHERE'S THE MUSIC???" because there are occasionally outdoor bits (like at the start of kingdoms, or the exterior of the pyramid) where it's all quiet and ambient before you get into the main action.
>>
>>380593030
This, I have no idea what you're talking about OP
>>
When you enter worlds it starts out silent with ambient noise, but when you reach a certain part of the world the music of the world kicks in.
>>
>>380592674
Is this the new "botw has no soundtrack" meme?

It's the fucking worst
>>
I was wondering this too.

The music in the city is nice, but I was wondering where the music was when Mario arrived in the Mexican town or the forest. It was mostly just ambient sound until they reached some point in the level that I guess actually had some decent platforming challenges?

And even then, the music we did have was a bit less exciting than previous Mario tunes. It sounded more muted and reserved and much less grand.

That can work sometimes (Dire Dire Docks is a great example), but making the whole game based around it just takes away its charm.
>>
yeah i'm not a fan of this change either. probably won't be picking up odyssey to be honest. the more i see of it, the more it reminds me of yooka laylee, and i don't want to be reminded of that failure

but fuck, i mean even yl had proper music
>>
>>380593554
>the more it reminds me of yooka laylee, and i don't want to be reminded of that failure
But Odyssey is actually getting it right.
>>
>>380593759
Not really.

>World design seems bland so far (much like Yooka Laylee)
>Many people have said that Mario's movement feels off compared to games like 64 and Sunshine (akin to a complaint some people had of Yooka Laylee)
>Soundtrack clearly isn't as good as past games (another complaint Yooka Laylee had)

This game is pretty much Nintendo's Yooka Laylee.

3D Platforming is now officially dead. Thanks Nintendo.

>>380593983

what? source? I played it myself, it is literally a more fluid sunshine

Damn you must be shitposting very very hard. Worlds being bland wasn't even a complain about YK, and neither is the music

GameXplain's E3 Day 1 discussion is a good source on the "Mario feels a bit sluggish" claims. And some others who've played the game on the show floor have said the same.

You mean gamexplain lmao?
I've watched the entire stream, there's tons of platforming. Fuck outta here.

You pulled that straight out of your ass. Literally people are saying the exact opposite, an actual Mario speed runner jumped into the game and already was dashing through the dessert the second he had the controller. Outside of just certain little changes made it plays like its predecessors. But good try in making shit up anon.

>Worlds being bland isn't even a complaint about YK

Then you clearly haven't played Yooka Laylee (which you're lucky, to be honest).

The worlds in YL are fucking bland and a mess to navigate through. Almost everyone who has played the game agrees that the only half decent world is World 3, while the rest are just boring.

As for the music, it sounds a lot more "generic cinematic" and a lot less "bombastic." It still sounds nice, but it is a clear downgrade from Grant's previous work. Unfortunately, Grant has also said that he wanted to go for a more cinematic style this time around as well, so it's more of a deliberate choice than lack of skill.

Can't wait for /v/ to tear this game apart when it actually comes out...

Oh wow this is soothing. But why can't I stop thinking of the Wii U's settings music when I hear this?
>>
>>380594932
But there is music.
It's the beginning of levels that have a more ambient sound, the track changes and develops as you move through the stage. Also quite a few songs have already been posted in the thread.

I'm genuinely confused. Are people this desperate to criticise the game?
>>
>>380596418
sonybros realised that they were far too late with false flagging BotW to death. By the time they started the game was already critically acclaimed. This time they're putting up the groundwork early.
>>
>>380594520

GameXplain is a fag with a lisp
>>
>>380592956
That's to the water level not space.
>>
>>380596702
Isn't that most of /v/?

Unless you're a Eurofat, which means you replace the lisp with a thick and ugly accent.
>>
>>380596653
If that's the case then they're doing a pretty shit job of it considering this is one of the stupidest criticisms ever. Anyone with two working ears can tell that the game has music. This isn't BotW where the lack of overworld music was very conspicuous. Are they retarded?
>>
>>380594561
These are all fantastic.
>>
>>380596852

>projecting
>>
>>380594520

That's the fag who saw the trailer and made a 2+ hour long video insisting that there would only be 4 worlds in the game. Why do you listen to such a retard?
>>
Yeah, the lack of music worries me.

>but here's all these tracks anon
That's great, but why aren't they playing throughout the entire level, like in ever other Mario game?

The only area in pretty much any 3D sandbox mario game that didn't have any music was just outside of the castle in 64, and that clearly made sense. This lack of music until you reach a certain small area doesn't make sense.
>>
>>380596748
its that's true it sense as there is no sound in space so why would there be BM?
>>
>>380594520

And he's the only one. And he's an autist so his opinion is invalid.

>Dino track
>better than anything
The instrumentation and overall production quality in the Dino level is at its wors since Galaxy.

The fake orchestra samples sound painfully weak.
Especially the horns and strings.
The composition is just fine but also too close to Good Egg Galaxy to actually get away with that.
It just seems like a downgraded Galaxy left over track.

good example is the shitty midi version from galaxy in the first trailer way before they actually started recording with an orchestra
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmN8DHZYNCg

Sure, it's not as bad as this but if you compare the dino track with 3D Worlds new rendition of Gusty Garden the problem becomes obvious.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLM8FiethU4
It's not the lack of real orchestral vibes that it suffers from, it's the overall lack of production and lively sound from actual instruments being played
that was not only perfected in 3D World but is also present in Odyssey that this song just absolutely doesn't keep up with.

New Donk actually has personality and fantastic production quality
beyond just borrowing themes and chord progressions straight from another game.
>>
>>380597442
But they do you fucking retard. The only place that was actually quiet was the Deep Spooky Silent woods and that's because they're THE DEEP SPOOKY SILENT WOODS.
>>
>>380597442
It's the same thing as the 64 castle, except for each world. The introductory area (at least in some cases) is quiet, then once you get into the main area the music kicks in.
>>
>>380597350
They do that shit everytime, I admit it's too as White noise if you're into that but you shouldn't take them seriously
>>
Nintendo expects you to spend hours exploring each world for moons, rather than just pop in for short energetic levels. I can see why they want the music to come in more naturally and occasionally come out. They are obviously not skimping on the soundtrack though, purely on the basis of what we've actually heard.
>>
>>380598045

He was insistent on it. I watched about 10 minutes of his video and he couldn't stop talking about how he had overwhelming evidence of only 4 worlds. I didn't even bother listening to his justification, I know only a retard would extrapolate a trailer to the full game.
>>
>>380597734
Uh no. When they entered the Mexican town, there was no music until they reached the temple section. It was just ambiance until then.
>>
>>380594561
New Donk reminds me of De Blob's OST for some reason. And that's a really good thing.
>>
>>380592674
They want to cater to Soul faggots
>>
There's the New Donk City theme
>Koji Kondo definitely made this
Steam Garden
>Also sounds like Koji Kondo, but could Ryo Nagamatsu or someone else but not Mahito Yakota
Dino World Theme
>Definitely Mahito Yakota

For the movement is shit babs

Should I buy a Switch for this game? Gameplay looks good

It's Koji Kondo so it's guaranteed good
