MGS4 soundtrack details revealed News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PlayStation 3

Special edition goodies unveiled.

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 Ł79.99 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.

I've never been one for MGS music, but I do have a lot of games music kicking around. Some are great for ringtones though, like the "oh crap I've been seen and am now in imminent danger of being shot!" music of MGS1. Although I think it has a proper name.

@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 Ł20 IMO but I'm sure there'll be plenty of people willing to pay Ł80 for it.

Aye, most soundtracks lose their appeal outside of the game but there have been a few that made my mp3 player. Mass Effect being the most recent, lovely background music for the day.

The Folklore OST was lovely too.

The soundtrack mentioned in this article is not the same as the one that will be included in the limited edition. The Japanese soundtrack consists of the full soundtrack and has two discs, in comparison to the one-disc soundtrack in the limited edition package.

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.

You may be right about the two-disc thing - the Japanese release implies that it's on one disc, but the type of box it comes in is generally used for two-disc releases, and the track listing does seem too long for a single disc. I'm looking into it - we'll update the story when we know more.
