Chippin In - no old version planned

[mirakodus1]

It seems that there will not be an older Chippin In song version from 2018 E3 Demo:
https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/comments/c2fiul I love the original sounds and vocals in the first version since this is the song I have listened and sent to people for over a year now.
What do you think? Is there a way to release it by CDPR outside the game or just keep it as alternative version?

i did prefer the first version too, but it is understandble why to they would / will only reliase the new version.

But if enough fans want it, there will be good covers of it sooner or later as we know how version 1 was played and the full lyrics will be availble with the new version.

From listening to both "samples", the old or first version is superior or better in my eyes. Or ears, rather.

Of all the changes this is actually the one that I dislike the most.

The second version sounded very generic.

Sad as well.

This game is becoming worse and worse every day lol

I really wonder what CDPR is even thinking when it comes to something like this. They already wrote and produced the song. What good reason could there possibly be to not make it available? It's a good song - a piece of art. Why hide it from us?

 

[Nephelin]

the first version could have been made today. easy. without anyone batting an eye. and it sounded great!

the second one is more in tune with the theme off the punk aspekt of cyberpunk. And Punk beeing the big theme of the system - as is dystopian futurism is for deus ex - that is the correct way to go about it.
does it fit well with my persenal taste. nope, it does not. will it ad to the immersion of the game? probably, even likely.

but in the end we will know for sure when it is here, so likely around the 10-12 of April when the first streamers get there hands on the game and we will be watching them like the addictet ones we are ^^

2018 version >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2019 version

The new version was better as entry music for Keanu, but ingame I'd rather hear the old version.

This is very sad. I hope they will change their mind or at least release it on Youtube or somewhere.

Also I looked at Wiki and I think that the new version isn't really... lore friendly. If I understand it correctly Samurai band was a rock band. "Chippin' In" is their song. So I guess it should have that rock feel. Not punk rock feel.
The punk got into Silverhand's song after he left the band and went solo no?

CDPR,do something with that,because first version absolutely amazing,in history of games and films so many music without release,PLZ dont make this mistake. Maybe its hard and we are dont know all facts,but please try to do this!

P.S.
You are one of the most great developers.

 

[Metropolice]

I mean the first version has to EXIST somewhere still right, completed (I hope?).

Would be nice to just release it. Or is it law and copyright issues now, did the old artist say no, jump shit, etc?

 

[Geralt_of_bsas]

well this is extremely disappointing.

 

[xxTotexx]

The first one is definitely more chill. I prefer that version too

 

[BluPixel]

Wow. Unacceptable. Pre-order cancelled.

 

[Erect_Cactus]

Wow. Unacceptable. Pre-order cancelled.

Why would you pre-order any game in the first place?

Still several months from release...

Hopefully someone with the power to make these kinds of decisions within CD Projekt Red, decides to include both versions. The "old" Chippin' In could be repurposed as a modern day (2077) cover of Samurai's Chippin In.

There are plenty of examples of things like that happening in the real world, and artists putting their own spin on the track they are covering. See Johnny Cash's cover of Nine Inch Nails' Hurt as a rather famous example.

Having Johnny Silverhand react and comment on it when it plays on the radio could be fun as well.

 

[sinister.sinner]

The old version wasn't much punk or rebellious. Really dig the new version.

This game is becoming worse and worse every day lol

We have altered the game. Pray that we do not alter it any further.

I just sang the new version of Chippin' In because... well I just sing songs I have in my head.

But the problem is... it was something like this:

"Blah, blah, blah, blah CHIPPIN IN
blah, blah, blah, blah CHIPPIN IN
blah, blah, blah, blah CHIPPIN IN
blah, blah,blaaaaaaaaah."

I'm serious.

I can't listen to this.

This is just classic. It ends when V lefts apartment.
