Gameplay Trailer Song Choice

I’m just going to pretend I never heard that song.

I immediately became very disappointed and uninterested once the song kicked in. This is isn’t about music or artists or anything it’s just that that song was way too poppy and upbeat. Give us orchestra or 2000s breaking benjamin but NEVER THAT lol

Guess that’s what we get with the “T” rating: teen music

DISCLAIMER: I do not intend to bash h5, I simply find it funny how now i’m the old one and the music that’s “cool” these days can be a big turn off to veteran ears
DISCLAIMER UPON DISCLAIMER: song is nearly ten years old and i had completely forgotten it ever existed, thinking it was some new poppy stuff for the kids these days.
D3: I played this song on guitar hero. that’s where i knew it from

Are you talking about the most recent gameplay trailer with Knights Of Cydonia? Because if you listen to the lyrics it is sorta connected to the whole ‘theme’ of the game. And imo it’s a great song, if you don’t like Muse don’t listen to it. And since when is it teen music? That’s also strictly your opinion. If you have too much of an ego to play a game that’s rated T fine don’t play.

Breaking Benjamin was THE angsty teen music back in the early 2000s…so your joke kinda falls flat.

And how old were you when Breaking Benjamin and Halo 2 were relevant, might I ask? You get my point here? You’re probably in your 20s now. Disinterested in what teens are listening to.

And when Halo 2 came out and I was in my 20s, I didn’t give a yoink about Breaking Benjamin, and would rather have heard … I don’t know … what was I listening to in the 90s? Green Day? lol

See my point? They know their demographic. It’s not us. That’s all.

It’s just a gameplay trailer. It’s not like that’s the new soundtrack

Knights of Cydonia - 2006

I will look into this immediately! Didn’t ever wanna be a hypocrite, I just wanted to see if anyone else was incredibly distracted by the music

It was kind of cheesy, but it could have been worse. The song is very poppy modern (or was once modern) rock. I still don’t like breaking benjamin though, never did. Then again, I have every album by crystal castles so my opinions/taste on music might be way off.

The first lyrics sounded a bit like a part of the Halo theme to me and it wasn’t that distracting since it sounded cool regardless.

OP is mad at song choice; suggests even less fitting music. OK

Well the song itself is a nearly 10 years old, so Its not really like they just put a some popular chart song in.

As for the choice I actually really like it, never really listened to muse much before.

Don’t know this Breaking Benjamin fella, but I agree, the song in the latest Halo trailer was garbage and had some pretty trite lyrics. My opinion, of course.

Yeah lol @me for not knowing the song. Maybe if I listened to it or remembered it from that era I would have been more pleased to be back in that mindset. I just wanted something iconic to Halo.

(sorry, but when I hear that riff from “blow me away” or anything like it my mind rushes to glorious days of h2)

Well ok than. I won’t be staying up all night unfortunately because I am a teen and have school lol. So that’s gonna suck for 6 hours.

Yeah i had no idea it was so old…

Are you seriously implying Breaking Benjamin isn’t “teen music”, while Muse somehow is?

“Blow me Away” was THE song for crappy fan music videos after Halo 2. I just can’t forgive such a thing.
