as of now we have no info. the only song that we know is Jacob Banks - Unholy War, but that isnt 100% confirmed to be in the game.
but have a look at my soundtrack wishlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFrniyppjnhgXRgtMz-acXTVP6NEO-L8O
@Gramatickz the issue with that is those are old songs, and it completely goes against what the underground era of NFS soundtracks were aiming to do which was exposing modern tallents that people havent heard of as well as modern tallent that people have heard of. i keep that goal in mind when making my soundtrack wishlists for NFS. my rule when making wishlists for the game is the music must not be older than around 7 years old.
- Yes they are Indeed old songs, but so is songs that was initially released 7 years ago.
Exposing modern talent is not something I have particularly noticed in the series, since most of the bands / artists that have been put up on underground games are well known artist, unless you have been living under a rock for the past 20 years, or just moved to under rock wood road.
Both Snoop and Lil Jon was big artist before the underground series, and more of the latest releases featured bands like the qemisist which is a big name in the D&B scene. And you can't compose an entire soundtrack list for triple "A" game of music and artists people have not heard of. they need a few "sledgehammers".
And it's just a wish for the track list, no matter how old it is, I at least still would like to have thouse bangers inn. @Gramatickz ok here is talent that NFS exposed back in the day. no one would k now people like Suni Clay if 1 of his songs weren't in Most Wanted (2005). and before most wanted i didnt know about Celldweller or The Prodigy.
NFS has never been about adding good old songs. yeah we all know that these older songs were great, but not a whole lot of people know of modern talent. just to list my favorite songs on my soundtrack wishlist for payback. MOST not all on the list below are not very popular.
- Sam Collins - Wa Wa
- Jacob Banks - Unholy War (already in the game)
- Modestep - Snake
- Voicians - Prayer (The Magic Puppet Remix)
- Nukid - How We Do (Original Mix)
- Dada Life - Tic Tic Tic (Ft. Lzzy Hale)
- Malaa - Fade
- Juicy J - Payback
- Dude, prodigy is the godfather of D&B and is a huge band playing all over the world at multi million dollar concerts.
And Celldweller / klayton is also pretty big, I had albums and vinyls of both artists before the NFS games you are referring to. Just because you don't know about a selected group of artists does not make them "unexplored" or unknown to the masses.
This is exactly why I don't get the "expose modern talent" because these are artistes a lot more people then you think obviously know loads about.
So the argument you are posing is at its breaking point.
And so goes for the part of "not adding songs that is more then 7 years old", I'm not trying to come across as a complete bellend here, but 7 years old, 10 or even 14, the songs are old and way past their "time" , so it really don't matter that much. What matters is what people want and would like to see in the tracklist, is that not the purpose of this thread? What people want? Not about what people can't have. @Gramatickz, where you play, doesn't depend on how popular you are. if you look at how many youtube hits a person gets and the amount of sales/downloads someone gets on an aalbum is a more accurate representation of how popular someone is. for example everyone has heard of deadmau5 because he was famous for a while back when RAT cae out, but anymore he seems to have fallen out of the mainstream. if you send someone a song from deadmau5's newest album more likely than not they haven't heard it.
the Prodigy didn't invent anything they do electronic rock fused with DNB. and yeah they are the most popular in that section, but barely anyone in the large mass of music listeners know about them. its the same story for Celdweller. they arent topping beatport, they aren't smashing youtube hits.
what the majority of people think of when you ask the what music they listen to they think "dubstep, pop, rock, or rap" they certainly dont think of dnb, rock fusion. they certainly dont think of anything other than those 4 genres.
all i hear when people talk about modern music is that its all garbage when i say "exposing modern talent" i mean giving those guys who say "todays music sucks i wish i could listen to stuff from the 90s" music from the past 7 years that is really good.
my argument is more than just that though. NFS has only recycled music one time and they only did it that one time because they had made the worst soundtrack of any game in existence.i saw this * as lazy. let the past be the past. 2010 is the limit for the songs that are possibly in payback.
Song I want in the game is Pretty Vicious-Blister
I would be happy if they put even one song from Pendulum.
