Is it just me or does the music for FNV seem somewhat out of place? Don't get me wrong, the songs are good and the story is amazing, but I don't get that same feeling when I hear the GNR songs. GNR songs sounded as if someone was playing them on a record player and added to the atmosphere, while FNV songs sound as they've been remastered for a CD complilation.

I hate FNV's radio, I just got used to it though. I'm surprised more people haven't complained.

I never listened to FO3's radio except when I wanted to hear Three Dog bash me and I never have the NV radio on.

i wish the vegas radio had some of DC's music haha but oh well i still like taking out raiders listening to it

I keep FNV radio off, but listen to the OWB occasionally. I find it kinda close to F3 radio.

i love OWB!

Didnt like it either.

I loved New Vegas's radio, it's fitting for Vegas. D.C. was the American cliche. Las Vegas was the advlt playground of yesteryear in our time. It's only appropriate New Vegas has more fast paced big band/swing tracks as opposed to musical instrumentals and songbook America styled songs.

I liked the FO 3 radio much more than the new vegas one.

I also enjoy face paced, big band, swing music...but besides Blue Moon and Something's gotta give, it's all slow cowboy stuff.

Wish that the Xbox/PS3 could get that mod that brings back the F3 songs to FNV. :/

i like three dog better then mr.new vegas haha

Whats an America styled song..?

I much preferred FO3's radio, but the NV one isn't too bad. Can PC users add to the songs on that radio? Because that's what I'd do if I could - it's a crying shame they couldn't get any Elvis I think.
Saying that, I like the DJs in both games. Each one was suited to their station imo.

I prefer Fallout 3's radio since it has more variety. There is jazz/blues, there is patriotic drums-and-trumpet music (although hilariously limited, albeit catchy playlist) and classical. Fallout 3's songs were usually faster paced, which added more feeling to the adventuring. Extra points for Ink Spots' Maybe, which is a must-have for every Fallout game

An obvious flaw for both is limited playlist, but that is perfectly understandable because there is no need to spend too much money on song copyrights when you can put that money to better use.


Not that I feel any contempt for NV's radio... However I don't listen to it often, since especially Radio New Vegas suffers from audio unbalance. I don't want to raise volume for a song only to have Mr. New Vegas' voice explode into my ear afterwards. Plus, you can always kill Three Dog if he gets to your nerves.

EDIT: My FO3/NV song top five is 1) Civilization 2) Big Iron 3) Heartaches by the Number 4) Let's Go Sunning 5) Maybe

Eh, 40's contemporary songs, things you'd expect Bing to croon, or just about any female singer to sing about their heartache for the man they love who left, et cetera, this the kind of thing that suits D.C. of Fallout prior to the bombs.

@Meghan, uh, no, there's like 3 or 4 songs that are Western, the rest have a more urban feel to me.

I almost always listened to GNR, but the FNV radio didn′t give me the same feeling as GNR gave me. The songs feel mostly boring and annoying IMO.

I love the music in New Vegas and I love that there are original songs as well writen and preformed by J.E. Sawyer.

the generic production music does have a pretty polished sound to it, but i think it all suits the environment great. i never listened to the radio much before but i'm finding myself turning it on more often these days. "in the shadow of the valley" at night, wandering around the Mojave, ain't nothin sweeter

You're out West. Old country and since you're near Vegas, swing and big band music is normal.

New Vegas's song selection was fine. The problem was there wasn't enough licensed tracks nor enough commentary I felt.

D.C. had songs just as Colonel explained and licensed tracks FO 1/2 fans were familiar with but wasn't fully fitting of the area as much as it does the whole "era" of the 40s/50s and apparently BGS thought it fit along with the whole diverged post-apocalyptic timeline.

It is however hard to fit areas like D.C. with any signature style just as with New York because they're not iconically defined by a style as the West is.
