Why the Obsidian don't have chose the songs Viva Las Vegas by Elvis and That's Life by Frank Sinatra?

The cost of licensing them is probably part of the reason. Most of the songs in Fallout 3 were relatively obscure songs by current standards, which was also true of the theme songs chosen for Fallout 1 and 2. Besides, Fallout is an alternate history and just like you won't see the Stardust and MGM Grand in New Vegas, Elvis and Sinatra probably had different histories as well.

But Blue Moon is a song of Sinatra

Alot of it has to do with timeline,licensing fees, and feel. I dont think a song from the 60s like Viva Las Vegas fits in with a Rat Pack themed Vegas.

Simple reason, money. Most - if not all - of the songs in F3 were on the public domain.

Speaking of Public Domain, does that get thrown out the window if you use the song in a profitable manor?
I imagine it does, but it's probably soooo much cheaper to purchase the rights to a public domain song.

edit: the more I read my comment, the more I realize this is probably a really stupid question.

Well, they said that they won't be adding any Elvis in the game. That explains a lot.

I would be very surprised if a song from the 70s was in the game.

No??? That's very bad!

It was confirmed in the last thread about this same topic that it would have cost a incredible amount of money the devs felt was better spent elsewhere.

I love that song ever since i heard it in GTA SA. It definitely would fit in the game.

O Mamma mia :blink: and how much cost the diricts?

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 9:56 pm

diricts?

I guess that made-up word means 'rights'...

But anyway, while I don't know how much, I can assume it's much. Elvis and Sinatra are still cash cows.

It could easly go into the thousands to tens of thousands.

Exactly, thats a good thing about alot of Fallouts 1940's very early 1950's retro-futurism. Alot of the copyrights have either expired into public domain or are very cheap compared to some songs. It allows money to be syphoned to more valuable things game speaking, graphics, updating certian features, etc etc.

i agree your discussion :tops:

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 1:25 pm

well it's actually not a big issue for me, if you are on xbox360 you can play custom soundtracks (on pc as well if i am not mistaken) > problem solved!
