Pretty good write up.
Finally, what really blew me away was the conversation I had with the EA SPORTS UFC music guru and producer, Freddy Ouano. Sound was low at the event, and I mentioned to Freddy just how impressed I was with the title’s attention to detail in just a few short years of development. Freddy told me to take a look at the game’s library of over 100 tracks in the soundtrack menu, which brought some really nice surprises.
For EA SPORTS UFC, the team worked hard to license and nail down the authentic entrance music used by fighters who keep the same songs. They didn’t succeed in getting every fighter’s entrance music, but they got a lot, and what they couldn’t add this year, they’ve said they’ll work on securing in future iterations. The fighters that don’t have licensed entrance music however, will still come out to music that suits their style. Jim Miller will come out to country music blasting, etc.
So what is in the game? Expect to find Anderson Silva’s entrance to include his DMX “No Sunshine” anthem, B.J. Penn will have his trademark Hawaiian”E Ala E” by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole in the game, and Jon Jones will be blasting “I’m Coming Home” by Diddy. This blew me away, and it’s these little touches that add to the individual experience you’d come to expect for your favorite fighter. While I don’t have a full list of the featured songs in front of me, we’ll work on securing it as soon as possible. Needless to say, the sound work is off to a great start with the 100-song tracklist.
