Looks like it's a day ahead of schedule. I'll be interested to see how it's received and reviewed.

Oh, and Amber? I sent you an email regarding this news. I bet you know why... wink

Early impressions I read on another site suggest this is fission mailed.  Costs money to play online per month via PlayOnline too.

I must be behind on my net speak.  What does "fission mailed" mean?

Never played Sons of Liberty?

wink Thanks Mr. Tex.
I got a head start last night though.. about 50% done.
I'll of course report back here as soon as analysis is complete.  I was talking to the_miker last night - seems like he may end up at 100% before I do.  Either way, you guys win. tongue
I'll have some news by tomorrow at the latest, most likely.

I played it, but not since 2001 when I finished it.  Is that something from later in the game where everything starts to get wacky?

Yeah Colonel/GW or whatever says it.

Well then....reguardless of how the game is, I'm sure most of us want to know, how's the music?

Trying to get any details of this music has been pretty difficult, yeah. Of course, there's been the trailers and website music, which hint at Hamauzu going in a darker direction more than ever before. I think I said once that this may be Hamauzu's Parasite Eve, as that was the like-lighthearted Yoko Shimomura's stylistic departure.

One of the best hints was a couple videos I discovered of the online beta test. I made a quick audio grab from one of those movies. Despite the gunshot sounds, it was pretty interesting. There were about three or four song clips, although the level theme was heard primarily. It sounded somewhat like Sakimoto, and very quickly grew on me. I shared this track as "Dirge of Cerberus -BETA Sample". Did you all get the chance to hear it? If not, let me know.

But yeah, details have been sparse. Best thing to do for now is to wait until Amber finishes her experiments. smile

p.s. And of course, there's "REDEMPTION" by Gackt. And it's growing on me, too...I don't think it's awful or anything.

Never played it. So what does it mean?

TerraEpon Jan 26, 2006

I always thought it was just one of those things that evolved as a joke, never realized it had a source like that...

Fission Mailed =
Mission Failed.

Bleh.  It's gonna be a few more days... um, ran into some snags, hehe.

When does the OST come out?

Flexar Jan 26, 2006

February 15th.

I'm a little doubtful about this soundtrack for some reason, even though it's Hamauzu. I think I'll listen to the PSF2 *cough cough, wink wink* first. :P

SquareTex Jan 26, 2006 (edited Jan 26, 2006)

Well, now that gameplay video clips are appearing on different websites, it appears that "cinematic music" is indeed the name of the game. Still extremely appealing to me, though.

Here's one website where a fan has graciously offered some clips:

If the music's gonna be streamed like I'm suspecting, there will be no PSF2s, but a short-lived huge monolith of music that contains all of the tracks.

*growls at the asshat on Share who thought it would be cute to share 4GB of RARed kung-fu flicks and give it a misleading name* ;_;  Oh well, serves me right, I suppose.

Without spoiling plot-related things, the Game Over screen for much of the game reads Mission Failed. At one certain point, the game fakes you out in mid-combat with a Fission Mailed screen, while gameplay continues in the little screen that usually shows how you died.

Kojima plays with the person playing the game like that all the time. The Internet, on the other hand, was just looking for another esoteric meme.

You should never trust idiots on small sharing programs like that, go with a source that is already publicly-confirmed to be the real thing, like a torrent.

It ended up being porn. -_-

Yeah, I've learned my lesson. ;)

*SHOCKED. SILENCE.* yikes

*ahem* Anyway...

The official Square Music page says that Masashi Hamauzu updated his journal. I tried Babelfishing it, with the predictibly obscure results. I THINK what he's saying is that he suddenly has some free time, and feels "neglected". wink

And then he offers up a nice-quality MP3 of that spacey tune you hear on the front page of the music site. (I was WONDERING if that was him!)

No news on the DoC OST yet, but hopefully he'll post about it next time. It'll be nice to hear what he thinks of it.

p.s. Ooh...go to Gamespot's DoC Section and take a gander at Gameplay Movie 1. Groovy little tune... smile

*throws things*

All of the game's data is compressed.
I don't really have the resources or the knowhow to decompress it.

I'm really surprised to see this... I really hope it's not a new trend. yikes

Eiolon Jan 28, 2006

This will be interesting.  The game requires a monthly fee to play online AND the hard drive.  Not only that but it registers with your hard drive.  So if you have to replace your PS2 down the road, your screwed.

This is just the beginning since PS3 games are rumored to have serial attachments to your system.

Well, there's this one guy who somehow figured out how to yank the movies out of DoC. I wonder how he did that...

http://www.project-fao.org/

He broke the compression somehow.  I read a bit of his blog... looks like he gave up on Star Ocean 3, hahaha.  Argh.

Guy has a ton of nifty looking utils on that page... too bad I can't figure out how to get any of them to work. o_O Also, too bad there's no source code. :(
