Hello everyone,
this might not be something new for some of you, but those not oldschool enough might have not heard. Wargaming is generally an eco-friendly company, because it recycles – this is not a bad thing actually, it’s just a statement. Take for example the following case, posted on RU forums by Maiorboltach. Before World of Tanks, Wargaming produced a strategy game called the Order of War. Order of War was somewhat successful – but this is another matter entirely. Anyway, check this out.

World of Tanks victory theme:
Another case of recycling was Slava Makarov admitting that the early alpha version of World of Tanks used tank models from Operation Bagration, another Wargaming game. Those days are long gone however. An interesting thing, though – back to Order of War. Jeremy Soule made some tracks for Order of War (in case you didn’t know, Jeremy Soule is a well-known composer, who created for example the epic Dawn of War soundtrack). One of his tracks, “A Summons to Madness” (can be heard here) was implemented into the WoT client until 2012 under the designation of “14 Nazis_Theme_High” and it was featured as a regular battle melody in WoT open beta and perhaps some time after release (it’s very likely Wargaming does own the rights to this melody, an interesting case though).
And what happened to Jeremy Soule and war games? Well…
Either way, it’s interesting I think to see, how some things get re-used. Not that it’s a bad thing, it simply… is.
FIRST – to say thay I dont remember the second song, even tho im playing since closed beta ;s
Release the BAN HAMMER!
Jeremy Soule is to game music what Bruckheimer is to tv.
Except it’s more enjoyable.
This
i bet the engine sound of the first video is also in WoT ;)
Life doesn’t come with a musical background score so for me it’s the first thing turned off.
There wasn’t any soundtrack when I was throwing rounds in Mogadishu either…
Good thing this isn’t realism then… -.- It’s a game, try to enjoy the soundtrack or add your own songs.
Life doesnt come with 3rd person view either (at least not in Poland, but I heard we’re all backwards and shit so maybe on the west it does).
He also made the TES5 soundtrack.
And the Guild Wars soundtrack, and the Dungeon Siege soundtrack and practically everything else that’s epic :) :)
OMFG the only TES you kids heard of is Skyrim. Jeremy wrote most of the music for Morrowind and Oblivion too.
I guess you could say WT recycles too? Seeing as most of their aircraft models appear to come from IL2 Sturmovich: Birds of prey and Birds of Steel. Hell even the background music and the hanger when i played WT where directly from IL2 BoP. Haha
Seems to be a trend :P
guess what? same devs made those games and War Thunder…
Warthunder is a PC port of the PS version of the game … And people say WT is a “new” game .. sigh.
Ahh, no. Wings of Prey is the PC version of Birds of Prey (for Xbox 360 and PS3). WT is pretty much a new game.
Hey but one thing sure about WT us their music are really epic. At least better than WOT, which really the sound engine suck ass(especially before 8.0).
When you listen that Theme backwards … you can hear Satan voice
Well…actually, Jeremy Soule compsed a full set of foundtrack for IL-2 Birds of Prey, which Gaijin developed before they made War Thunder. Later on Gaijin slightly changed IL-2 main theme music and used it for War Thunder, hence Jeremy Soule’s name is mentioned in War Thunder credit, but only for composing main theme. I believe other musics in War Thunder are composed by somebody else.

At first they differ a bit, but in the end it’s the same music.
Actually…it’s simply Gaijin recycling Jeremy Soule’s IL-2 theme music to WT. I believe WT’s all musics other than main theme were composed by somebody else.

Actually Gaijin is also recycling…FYI Jeremy Soule composed a full soundtrack for IL-2 Birds of Prey, and later Gaijin recycled the theme music (with a bit of variation) for War Thunder. I believe all other musics in WT were composed by somebody else.

It’s partly true, there are a few different tracks, for example:
Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1TjSb4zQG4
Mozart’s Ave Verum Corpus – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tkNv1dqeEo
Edverd Grieg’s ” Asas Death” – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP7K1ERkSzQ
The origin of the rest I don’t know, however I like them a lot :)
Well, WT has a track by Beethoven and one from Mozart, so let’s say their music sources are ”Diverse”.
Since WT has tracks from Beethoven (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOeXNBzFL8o) and Mozart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB0NOtxjOZM&list=PLpAe6jwxCvr9rZ6C-zmZNWrFmBzXTTs72&index=2), let’s just say their music choices are ”Diverse” :)
