Remember this trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__YZd1_NX1c) way back when Facility was announced?

I've been itching to ask where this was from, or if it's a prototype theme of the Facility. It has that same bongo/drum beat as Seabed's Battle and the current Facility Battle BGM, yet slower and muffled.

It brings the question of if this BGM is somewhere lurking in the files, or if it 's just some random placeholder music. It also makes me wonder if there are more unused songs hiding in the files somewhere.

What do you think?

It was also used in this trailer at the end.

That's definitely not from the Mining Base BGM. Is it from a cutscene or something? It's really bugging me, because the track is awesome, but I can't find it.

Fairly sure that the first instance of that BGM playing is the above linked trailer with the 2-4 story quest update. The song isn't on any of the OST volumes currently released and doesn't play in the story quest itself, nor any story quest that I'm aware of. It would appear that it has exclusively been used in trailers thus far.

Oh wow, well then. I never knew TD had a failure theme! This is actually amazing, and I thank you for finding it!

Edit: Just compared the tempo of the track with that of Wave 1's BGM, and they are off by a bit. Huh...

TD's failure theme is currently unused. You just get booted back to campship if you fail. Doesn't seem to play anywhere in the Demise playthrough either, not even the CG scene showing a mining base exploding.

Kinda strange though, it sounds more like a theme of mystery than a theme of failure.

Makes me wonder if rare waves were originally planned or a track for timeout completes?

Didn't hear it in Demise, either. Another theme that's rarely heard is the one played when you are in the teleporter area after returning from the campship during a Wave.

But anyway, maybe TD was supposed to have a failure cutscene? That would be pretty cool.

Mining Base should have a Hardmode that causes you to fail the quest if a wave times out.
