Just had a chance to listen, did Paul write these? It's so cool he's always doing projects like this... I can see him playing these games with his grandkids... Nice that they will get to hear his music that way too. He's always so current
Cool Grandad!

For those who didn't notice earlier in this thread, there will be a single ? a "theme song" ? released from the project in September. http://mobile.nytimes.com/blogs/artsbeat/2014/08/08/paul-mccartney-collaborates-on-a-video-game-score/ Excited?

Excited. Curious. Impressed with the marketing. All of the above.

Hope it's good! Maybe this explains why they seemed to rush out the Appreciate, Save Us, and Early Days videos in rapid succession, so they were all out of the way to give this song room to breathe!

Read that the music changes according to the game. Sounds really intriguing !

I read that there are three writers and one of them said there is no way anybody can tell who wrote what. I don't like that.

http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/sep/05/destiny-global-release-revolution-gaming-bungie-activision The game is coming Tuesday the 9th and is expected to be a blockbuster. I haven't heard another word about the release of the theme song as a single, but Paul is mentioned in the above article as co-writing the 50-minute suite that comprises the score, and it does say he wrote the theme song. So what's the deal?
-
Strange we haven't heard anything yet. You would have thought something would have leaked by now if the song is featured in the game. Many people get their hands on copies early, whether they reviewers or just those know someone who works in a videogame story and does them a favor.

So when are we going to hear the song? Still shocked it hasn't leaked.
-
Earlier tonight I saw a commercial for the game and the music was playing in the background.
-
The score or the supposed song/single? Because I'm beginning to think this single doesn't exist. Game has been out now for 8-10 hours and still nothing.

I don't really understand why people are expecting a "song" in this thing. It's theme music for a video game. The talk of a "single" seems illogical, unless we're talking about a single like his "Honorary Consul" theme from decades ago. I wouldn't hold my breath... At best, we'll get a "soundtrack" type release. Here's the likely outline of the work:

I know nothing about video games but here is a list of titles: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLU1T4lqxfhCOEFlMAj8bKaOIPt9ICCa8l&src_vid=dt32oPeQfYE&feature=iv&annotation_id=annotation_1357241513

I don't know. Realize now the music I heard was instrumental and not Paul's song (with him singing)

This is why: "He contributed orchestral elements to the game. We have a team of composers here in the building who actually score the game to the action, so they put in a lot of work. We don?t want to dismiss those guys. But Paul contributing to the soundtrack is amazing. And he wrote a new single for the game as well." http://www.vulture.com/2014/09/how-bungie-got-paul-mccartney-for-destiny.html

Yes, there have been several articles mentioning that Paul wrote and recorded a "theme song" for the game, to be released as a single. Here's another one: http://pitchfork.com/news/56235-paul-mccartney-scores-destiny-video-game/

Yes, it was all over the place that Paul recorded a song that would be released as a single. To me, that means song (with words). This was either some poor reporting or an overzealous PR move meant to drum up some interest. Either way, disappointing. Been looking forward to hearing this "single" for the past three weeks.
