Crysis 2 and Duke Nukem Forever with same music?

Posted on:January 22 2011

Two interesting videos have been revealed lately: The Duke Nukem Forever Trailer (yes! it finally will be released, incredible, btw) and the Crysis 2 Multiplayer Trailer. But am I the only one noticing that both use the same music? There are multiple themes in both videos, but the main theme is exactly the same song on both videos. Strange.

Comments:

Ist doch nichts neues ... dasselbe bei Film-Trailern: #3 auf http://www.cracked.com/article/231_5-things-hollywood-reuses-more-than-plots/

And this music is also used in movie trailers. For example Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_RrNCqCIPE

just using stock music for advertisement, niko, its done all the time when the actual soundtrack in question is either not done yet or they don't want to reveal anything yet.

just look at the Lord of the Rings: Two Towers trailer, which famously uses Lux Aeterna from Requiem for a Dream

Actually, that song is "Invaders must die" by "The Prodigy". They just licensed it both for their trailer.

If you really want two "original themes" that shamelessly stole from each other, compare the two themes from "Risen" and "Fallout 3": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVUPoFuiSBI & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl5xbFXrFU4
