The idea that people will hand wring about normie pop music watering down their Serious Hobby though, is going to keep being amusing. But Diablo 4 will have a bigger community thanks to this kind of marketing, and Blizzard will always market it with that intention. What you don’t want to concede, because sure, you disagree with it, is that Diablo 4 just isn’t this serious IP above pop music marketing. Games like Cyberpunk 2077, MGSV, Death Stranding, and countless others. There’s a ton of big, “serious” game launches that features popular music in their launch trailers and their announcement trailers, all it takes is a quick search. And while a film trailer is also very different from a launch trailer, I do agree that Transformers and Diablo 4 are similarly well served in trailer and launch trailer by their respective pop music choices, because Diablo - as a game - is pop as hell. You’re comparing launch trailers and announcement trailers, rather than like for like, with the exception of Doom Eternal. Coming off the back of D3, there is a large audience that Blizzard already recognised and reached out too saying they were correcting the tone, so anything that could be looked at critically like this gets a bit emphasised. If we put it in the oh so popular “boomer” language this sub loves to stereotype with, pop songs are the equivalent of butterfly wings in the battle pass. I don’t know where your expertise on music for advertising comes from but saying that they’d be using either passé forgettable orchestral music or this is about as redundant an argument as you can make.įor example, trailers that I think hit the correct tone: I thought this trailer was fantastic, off the back of the last story trailer it twisted story beats and left me wanting more. Using pop music to advertise the game cheapens the look pretty heavily imo, and just screams “corporate partnership” over “artistic design” Pop music in their trailers would have instantly turned me off from the game because I’d assume it’s just some sort of cash grab The pop songs they chose are more fitting for a moody tv drama, not an invasion of hell where people are getting disemboweled and stuffįor an example, Elden ring pretty much exclusively used in game music in their trailers, and they sold the sort of dark high fantasy of their universe really really well, and the game got so popular I heard it talked about on npr in my car one morning. You know, like how they have the music in game. Nobody cares about it being normalized to the greater public, it just would be a lot more on theme if the trailers music wasn’t a pop song, and instead did something that had Gregorian chanting or other similar gothic themes that are found in Diablo. That’s really not what most people are concerned about. From character builds and skills to lore and theories, we have it all covered. Welcome to the un official Diablo 4 subreddit!
