MGS4 soundtrack details revealed News
PlayStation 3 News by Rob Fahey
Famitsu has got details of the Japanese release of the Metal Gear Solid 4 soundtrack for us this morning - not terribly comprehensive details, but a taster at least of what those of you who've pre-ordered the UK special edition of the game will be getting for your extra cash.
Launching in Japan as a standalone package today (with an appropriately moody looking close-up of Snake's wrinkly face on the cover), the soundtrack comes on a single CD and contains 47 tracks.
It's composed, as ever, by the series' musical stalwarts Nobuko Toda and Harry Gregson-Williams, and on past experience, we'd suggest avoiding track listings if you don't want major spoilers.
This is, presumably, the same disc that you'll be getting if you pre-ordered the £79.99 special edition of Metal Gear Solid 4 from Play.com. You'll also get a six-inch figurine and a "Making Of" Blu-Ray disc.
If you just fancy picking up the soundtrack on its own, however, the Japanese standalone soundtrack costs 3045 Yen, which is about fifteen quid (or 19 Euro) in real money.

I never really understood the fascination of listening to game soundtracks...the music seems to lose all sense of attachment when outside of the game...I guess its for the real die hard fans...although I am a huge fan of MGS I still couldnt sit and listen to nearly 50 orchestral pieces of random scene music...just my take.

@syphaa - I agree with you. Unless a game's soundtrack consists of licensed tracks a la GTA then I really don't see the attraction in listening to them outside of the game itself as they don't tend to work as well. There are rare exceptions though, e.g. Oblivion's wonderful orchestrated soundtrack works fine outside of the game.
Anyway, as for the MGS 4 Collector's Edition... it's overpriced by £20 IMO but I'm sure there'll be plenty of people willing to pay £80 for it. |

I put the Warcraft II CD into my car stereo and listened to it for months on end. Back in the day.
I found it and put it on the other day. Funny how I remembered it as glorious symphonic battle music. Still, fond memories. |
