The reason why the ... ( 6 days ago by flux717)
The reason why the MGS4 OST is incomplete, or in that case, not that epic.
If that theme is included, MGS4 could have the grandest epic scene ever created in the video game history.
Maybe Hideo Kojima will include it in a re-release of MGS4 ala MGS3 Subsistence.
I sure damn hope so he would release one with the MGS Theme.

if anything metal gear made the song better. Anyway,yeah just cause mgs4 didnt have thetheme doesnt mean it sucked. My god, imo it was teh best one, tied up everything real nicely. and nigga, you got to play as metal gear rex! Thats so G

You can easy hear how simular the MGS theme is to this but really the MGS theme is still different to it
I don't understand ... ( 5 days ago by Evanrulz15)
I don't understand why this is a big deal. Composers quote each other all the time. Especially in film and video game scores, which are pretty romantically inclined (I'm referring to the classical form here,) they take a lot from this sort of music, so its not surprising that, for whatever reason, a melody similar to Sviridov's would show up.
And again, this is ... ( 5 days ago by Watemon)
And again, this is based on the assumption that the MGS theme bears only a slight similarity to Sviridov's piece, and that composers are nothing but unoriginal and only quote eachother (an insulting assumption I must say).
Again, the two main motifs in the MGS theme are the SAME, not "similar" or a quotation. I find myself repeating myself... I should just stop replying and make a espinse video explaining the "big deal".

while the theme has ... ( 4 days ago by alphalink)
while the theme has a strong resemblance to the classical theme heard, its not Kojima to blaim, its TAPPY, the composer of the original MGS theme composer, but more so is Harry Gregson-Williams, the composer of the MGS2 theme, which is the one that most closely resembles this piece.
At least Tappy made the theme more techno-synth oriented.
W-R-O-N-G, ... ( 3 days ago by Watemon)
W-R-O-N-G, absolutely WRONG
Gregson-Williams had NOTHING to do with the controversy, and aside from ARRANGING the theme he had nothing to do with copying, is not to blame for any of this.
Just because TAPPY composed the theme using techno elements, does not change the fact HE'S the one who CHOSE the notes and rhythms. To insinuate whether or not TAPPY composed it for orchestrate determines who gets proper blame is utterly and unfathomably STUPID.
Just because ... ( 3 days ago by Watemon)
Just because Gregson-Williams translated a theme to orchestra does not mean he is to blame; Williams is as innocent as Kojima, and his reputation as a credible and talented composer should not be tarnished because of something TAPPY didーdamn I wish someone would hurry up and call out TAPPY in an interview so this nonsense would stop.

W-R-O-N-G, absolutely WRONG
Gregson-Williams had NOTHING to do with the controversy, and, aside from ARRANGING the theme he didn't create, is not to blame for any of this.
Just because TAPPY composed the theme electronically, does not change the fact HE CHOSE the notes and rhythms. To insinuate Williams should be blamed because his arrangement for orchestra makes it "[more] closely resemble" Sviridov's piece is utterly and unfathomably STUPID.
What you just said ... ( 1 day ago by Watemon)
What you just said is stupid, and makes no sense. TAPPY is the one that committed plagiarism, yet you propose Harry Gregson-Williams should be blamed because his ARRANGEMENT of the theme (meaning he translated the same notes to other instruments) sounds more like an orchestra than the techno version.
That's stupid, and you should be slapped.
It doesn't matter if TAPPY's version of the theme—which came first—wasn't performed by orchestra, TAPPY is the only that should be blamed.

You're really an idiot.... My mother is a Russian citizen and she lived in the Soviet-Union and did not get killed because she wasn't a communist, and my family were not communist's. They all fought in WW2. My grandfather was injured during the invasion of Berlin and he injured his leg but he got treatment, but if he was a communist he would get even better treatment. In the worst case's people got killed because of deflecting their ideology to Capitalism, because they were also a superpower

Yeah, I agree. This entire thing was done by several internet loners, who were desperate for attention. They should suffer greatly.
So what if MGS shares a smiliar theme? I thought that the MGS theme was pretty original on its own. Similarities also exist in rock music. This wasn't plagiarism at all. But, this was, extremely overblown.

Yeah well, everyone thought the MGS theme was original... until they found out TAPPY stole his themes from Sviridov. This wasn't overblown by anyone but the fans who were angry that it happened.

So we should call everyone who uses the notes e, d and c in that order descending a lawbreaker? What about Rap and Hip Hop's blatant uses of Funk, Rock, Blues, and classical? Should they be subject to copyright laws as they never bother to get copyrights on peices that they also blatantly use the original recordings of? There is no reason for such controversy as they only sound "similar." There's no copyright on the melody, but the entire song, so if you go by US laws...the song should be legit.
And do we REALLY ... ( 3 hours ago by Watemon)
And do we REALLY want to start comparing our videogames and all genre of music to the standards or rap/hip-hop? God I hope not. As for the smart-ass comment about the 3 notes in descending order you forgot about the rhythm as well, and it's obvious something's wrong when the theme is exactly the same 15 or 20 notes in.
