[@capital_of_texas]

No for real. PTB comes out, and everyone absolutely hates the chase theme, so BHVR listens and changes the theme, only for everyone to argue "the old one was better bruh, this is horrible". DBD community in a nutshell.

[@dressiestsphinxsebastian125]

@@capital_of_texas For real, the whiplash is unreal my head hurts

[@jesus9551]

Imo Pyramid Head theme was the only one that was better on the PTB... man I just love it so much, the bell was a banger. The rest actually got better: Ghost Face, Demo, Skull Merchant, Oni (kinda), and maybe Singularity but I'm not sure, they both are kinda bad imo.

[@EnigmaticWendigo]

​@capital_of_texas if 50% of people liked the ptb chase music and 50% didn't like it, then what do you think happens when they change it? The people who liked the old version are upset it was changed. They can never appease everyone. I personally love both but feel this one is too slow paced.

[@capital_of_texas]

@@EnigmaticWendigo It wasn't really 50/50, it was a good majority of people complaining about it. Almost every comment section had the classic "washing machine" remark. That's why it's funny that once they change it, more people began to appreciate the original lol

This one is more tense and exciting than the PTB one. Also sounds more like Aliens, which makes it even better. The Nostromo alarm was a good idea but in play it was super annoying this sounds like you're being chased by a xenomorph, all you can do Is run and try to fight back but it will chase you. At least that's what I get from it.

[@nathanalves3284]

The music itself is good but it lacks something that refers to the alien because it sounds like you're being chased by some monster from a generic horror movie

[@Camtheman1221]

@@nathanalves3284 I really don't agree with that, it distinctly reminds me of Aliens. When I first heard it I thought" This is cool as hell, reminds me of Aliens." In my opinion it's already distinct because it's supposed to sound like the second film's score. You might say well it's based on the first alien, well you'd be right but the Queen alien is a skin and that doesn't appear in the first one.

[@vaulted4239]

[@mattiacicchetti3778]

I'm gonna be the judge of the two Chase musics: The ptb one concentrates more on the horror and annoying aspect of the Xenomorph, make you want to run for your life, adapt for playing as her. The second and live chase music is more focused on the action and wanting to fight the Xenomorph, adapt for playing against her. With this i want to say they are both very good chase musics but the real masterpiece of Micheal is this. Let's just love the osts for what they are and not for what they must be, It goes the same for us persons, we must achieve something and reach our goals but we must accept what we truly are

[@bernardo-martins]

The only problem with this music is how lacking in intensity it is, especially as killer it's just... boring. Music wise it's great, but gameplay wise it genuinely is underwhelming

[@kaijuslayer3334]

That’s the problem. It’s taking inspiration from the wrong film. The Xeno and its role here is meant to be reminiscent of Alien. Not Aliens where the Xenos are killed on mass and the entire film is action packed. So going from Alien to Aliens seems counterintuitive

[@peek-a-boos]

@@kaijuslayer3334 Well said. I can't fathom how anyone would think Aliens is the heart of the franchise when they removed the tension by adding waves of xenomorphs and killing them off. It's like the Dead Space 3 of the Alien franchise, catering to the action-combat wank at the time. Same for Terminator, it turned from horror into action/adventure.

[@peek-a-boos]

Not to mention it sounds just like Nurse's theme, not distinct enough.

[@yogurt1532]

@peek-a-boos Even more well said, I genuinely disliked Dead Space 3 for how they centered everything more around fighting than being afraid of what's lurking ahead and such-- they even changed the Stalker charge animation to the goofiest thing ever.
