I loved the Radio on Fallout 3, yet this Fallout only has about 4 songs and the Radio stations are the same.... why have they done this to their fans?


How far are you into the game? The variety of songs seems to widen the further into he game you get.

Spoiler
Level 29 just used the platinum chip but have 60 hours play time and still the same music is heard lol.


I'm thinking it's a glitch but I honestly do not see it being fixed.

My favorite song so far is unfortunately only part of a quest. (the launch music in one of the Novac quests).

I also got bored a few days ago and started a killing spree in the white gloves casino. The background music there works really well with killing sprees for some reason :)

But yeah, would have been nice if the radio stations had a bit more variety.

The radio stations aren't the same per say.

Ok well, Mojave Music Radio and New Vegas Radio are exactly the same. The former just doesn't have Wayne chat chat chatting away. Black Mountain Radio plays purely country.

There's apparently 27 songs in New Vegas. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Fallout:_New_Vegas_songs



The wiki isn't proof since no one cited anything. There are a total of 48 tracks for the radio.

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout New Vegas\Data\Sound\songs\radionv

Has all 48 tracks - No duplicates, no voice over parts. Just music. In order to listen to every song that is supposed to be included on the radio, I manually added all these tracks to a winamp playlist. At least I don't suffer through "Johnny Guitar" being played 3 times back-to-back anymore.

The pages just haven't been created for every single song; that page is not a track listing. It is missing the following songs:

American Swing
Blues for You
Concerto for 2 in D Minor
Concerto Grosso in B Minor Allegro
Flower Duet
Four Seasons
Hallo Mister X
Happy Times
Jazz Blues
Jazz Club Blues
Joe Cool
Lazy Day Blues
Manhattan
Piano Concerto Number 21
Ride of the Valkyries
Roundhouse Rock
Sleepy Town Blues
Slow Bounce
Slow Sax
Spring Song
Strahlende Trompete
Streets of New Reno
Von Spanien Nach S damerika

I get that too, pretty frustrating to hear the SAME songs again and again, it's worse than the 10 songs they had in FO3.

I get Johnny Guitar and the Big Iron on his hip songs ALL THE TIME.

I sure as [censored] haven't heard 48.

Edited: I'm on the 360


I get these 2 pretty much all the time too, also the broken hearts one!

Im sure its a bug because they would definitly put more than 3 songs in the game, hopefully they will fix it soon.

As for Black Mountain Radio playing only country music; Not true. I've heard all the songs that do play on every single radio station.

Blue Moon certainly isn't a country song, and it plays frequently on all 3 stations.

There are, however, more than 3 radio stations that play music. I can tell this by finding a radio box out in the wasteland playing a song and being unable to have the same song play if I have it on any of the 3 music stations. I think that perhaps there are hidden radio stations for the sole purpose of jukeboxes and radios, but I haven't gone into the GECK to see if that really is the case.

These aren't radio songs though, ride of the valkyries for instance is the launch music in the quest I mentioned, and looking at the titles of the others a lot of them are classical music used as background music in casinos and such.

The way it selects songs is a little messed up, but there are plenty of songs. We PC people can mod to fix it, but unfortunately you'll have to deal with it and hope for a patch if you're playing on a console.

I miss Three Dog :(In F:NV it's usually just the same really, really ambient and boring tune over and over again, which is weird considering the music is from the same guy as F3.


A lot of the ambient music is from Mark Morgan, who did the original Fallout 1/2 soundtrack. Many Fallout 1/2 fans find his musical flavourings to be a real treat. Myself personally, I find them dry and irritating to listen to. Post apocalyptic elevator music.

I've heard Ride of the Valkyries playing on Black Mountain Radio, as well as being the launch music for the REPCONN ghouls. As I said before, every song plays on every "music" station. The fact that only 4-5 songs play in loop could be a bug because of the special, "hidden" stations like the Launch Pad Radio that is only supposed to play one song (which it's never actually played for me; I almost always hear it playing Blue Moon).

I just find myself turning OFF every radio I find in the game... It's bad enough that the radio stations only have a single song off each album (just let the record spin Wayne!) but to hear them repeated on different stations within minutes is more than infuriating... The game score is actually prety compelling though, so I don't mind killing the radios wherever I go... Now if only I could stop EDE from transmitting a constant stream of static, and Lily from repeating "Don't worry Dearie..." every couple of feet, I'd be a happy camper.

NO KIDDING! Why does anyone like Lily? I sneak a lot, and listening to her, "Don't worry Dearie..." really any of them opening their mouths when it's time to SNEAK is freakin' obnoxious as HELL! But her's is insane (go figure) and she keeps repeating it. At least Cass' sneak phrase is funny, and I've only heard her say it right away when I sneak. She doesn't act like a damned broken record. When I went after those stalkers with Lily... wow I wanted to killer her.

I've heard a max of 10 different songs.

Now it seems that the only song that's played is "I've got spurs.......























That jingle jangle jingle..."

I don't even bother with the New Vegas radio. I just play music off of my harddrive (which usually ends up being Disturbed).

I just got done updating the wiki's songs and radio stations pages, and I used the GECK to actually check what tracks are set to play on various stations and in different areas of the game.

There's really only one bug, in that someone accidentally linked Big Iron into the Radio New Vegas playlist twice. Based on the link title, the second one was supposed to be Stars of the Midnight Range.

Radio New Vegas has 19 tracks, which are played in random order, with code that is intended to guarantee that once a song is played, it can't be replayed until three different tracks are played. Unfortunately, because of the bug with Stars of the Midnight Range being linked to Big Iron's MP3 file, it can end up playing Big Iron more often, even twice in a row. Also, there is some complicated code to guarantee that when Mr. New Vegas introduces a specific song, like, "Here's B-B-B-Bing Crosby..." then the correct song plays. So the songs that have a specific intro may play more often; it's unclear to me at this point.

Mojave Music Radio and Black Mountain Radio are simpler. They have the same playlist of 15 songs. Black Mountain Radio just alternates songs with talk segments with Rhonda and Tabitha.

Interesting tidbit: all the instrumental tracks on Mojave Music Radio/Black Mountain Radio are by British twangy guitar sensation Bert Weedon. And all the instrumental tracks on Radio New Vegas were composed by unsung German TV composer Gerhard Trede, who composed the popular "Fox Boogie" and "Jolly Times" tracks used on Galaxy News Radio in Fallout 3.

The radio stations have four songs in common: Big Iron, Heartaches By The Number, It's A Sin To Tell A LIe, and Johnny Guitar.

Stars of the Midnight Range was also supposed to be common, but isn't right now. Maybe the patch will fix it.

A lot of the feeling that you only hear four songs is just that if you play the game for, say, 2 hours (which as we all know isn't very long) and listen to the same radio station the entire time, you're guaranteed to hear the same songs several times. And some of the songs are really distinctive, like Johnny Guitar, so when you hear it again, you think, "Hey, I just heard that song. Stupid radio," when it might have been 45 minutes. Of course, with a minimum of three songs in between, and most of the songs about 3 minutes, a song can repeat after as little as 9 minutes. Usually, it will take more like 30 minutes for a song to repeat on average.

So radio stations account for 34 tracks (19 + 15 - 4 because of the 4 in common). The rest of the tracks are used by performers in the Aces theater, the classical music that plays in the Ultra-Luxe, the jazz music playing in Gomorrah, and the music when the rockets launch from Repconn. The Tops plays a subset of the Radio New Vegas tracks (the ones with the most "Vegas lounge" feel). That's it.
