Finally confirmed. Its official. The greatest pop star the world has ever known worked on Sonic 3. Your fave Game Soundtrack remains generic and ordinary.
Quote:
The man Hector hired to replace Jackson's music, however, tells a different story. Howard Drossin entered the picture before the game was finished to change up some of the music, but confirmed to HuffPo he didn't rewrite the entire score. When the HuffPo writer pointed out how some of the Sonic themes echo Jackson song structures, Drossin "insisted he hadn't written" those cues.
"Oh, it did get in the game," Grigsby said of Jackson's music. "The stuff we handed in, the stuff we did, made it. To. The game."
So there you have it…maybe. Sega denies that Jackson's music is part of Sonic 3, but first-hand testimony from the composers behind the game contradicts that -- and supports what sharp-eared online obsessives have been postulating for years.
Me and my brother were discussing this earlier. You can definitely hear his influences on Sonic 3, which of course had the best music out of the series. KING.
