Thanks for posting Kevin. I am glad you guys and the rest of Gearbox are staying as true to the movies as possible. On a side note, not sure if you can answer this but will you be adding the original pieces in as well as a new one. For example the music that was used in the opening scenes of ALIEN and ALIENS. For example

In this vid, skip to 2:20. That one piece is one of my favorites from the series because I find it creepy. Anyways even if you can't answer thanks for posting!
By the way I also enjoyed the music in Gears of War 2. It was dark and epic at the same time.

There is a request with Gearbox to share a synth mock up of one of the pieces i've written for the game. Getting that approved might take some time.

As I mentioned in a tweet. Gearbox and I know very well the attachment fans have to the original material in the movies. We ourselves have that same attachment. When creating all the material for this game, this fact is being kept in mind. You will feel like you are part of that universe....trust me. =).

Thanks for taking interest in my involvement in this project. I'll do my best to keep up to date on whats going on in this forum, and share what i can.

all the best,

Yah I agree with half of the music similar to GoW2 and the other half similar to ALIENS and ALIEN it will be awesome.

I'm not a huge game music person. I usually turn it off and play my own stuff instead.

Doesn't the Xbox 360 had a way to download music and continuously play it while playing games?

You're missing a huge part of the game by doing that.
