I wonder why? I don't remember any licensed music but it's been quite a while since I played it. Anyway if you never played this you should grab a key while they're still cheap. The game rules.

My first thought was the Jimi Hendrix estate.

This is the only PS3 game I streamed start to finish. I saw it wasn't going to be on the new version of PS+ and rushed through it in PS Now's final week.

Think you might have games mixed up. Hendrix isn't in Spec Ops. Mafia 3 title screen however..
All I remember is Black Angels and Mogwai

I remember this game being a sleeper hit and had fun gun play, I should check it out again

What time is it?
Maybe. I thought it was his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner and a song in the closing credits.

Hmm maybe. I don't remember the credits. However I do remember being blown the fuck away at All Along The Watchtower playing at the Mafia 3 title screen and thinking hangar 13s soundtrack budget probably went to just that song

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Such a surprisingly solid game. Damn shame it never got any enhancements on Xbox BC.

I thought it was painfully average when it released and that didn't change much when I replayed it a few years ago. I've even heard people say that it being bog standard was an intentional design as a further metacommentary on these types of games which feels like a ridiculous sentiment. Then again, I'm not head of heels for the narrative either which most people fawn over.

You have a different future than the rest of us? How peculiar.

Man I don't remember half those songs. Then again I played it once over ten years ago
Jimi Hendrix tends to stick with me. My second favorite guitar player ever.

He's one of my favorites too. I can't believe I at least didn't remember Merman. I fuckin love Electricladyland.

Pretty sure the SSB play during the front end menu of the game.
Is it the end credits or the intro make up your mind lol
bender
What time is it?
SSB is the intro, A Merman I Should Turn To Be is the credits music.

One of my most favorite shooters of the 7th gen. Played the demo on the 360 and ended up pre-ordering it off that alone. Absolutely horrendous multi-player though. One of the consequences of publishers trying to copy CoD, Halo and Gears when it made absolutely no sense (Bioshock 2 cough cough).

I don't know what's actually in the game (I don't know of a "soundtrack CD" where this would have been released?) but I remember in-game radios playing stuff like Jimi Hendrix and Deep Purple as mentioned here. It was a popular thing to do at the time (thanks to GTA) to have bits of popular songs playing diegetically or in big sequences, beyond the orchestral score.
Spec Ops: The Line
(EDIT : whoops, didn't refresh and responded late. Many others responded beforehand, but there you go.)

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Game is on GOG, and on sale right now for $6

If you're worried at all about preservation, this is the correct way to buy it.

The music industry is a draconian headache on all fronts.

The Hendrix estate is pretty notorious for delisting albums on iTunes and then relisting under xx Anniversary Edition. And delists on iTunes prevent you from future downloads so if you don't have a copy saved away, you are SOL.

Got my physical PS3 copy. I don't give a shit.

Glad and surprised to find it in my library after checking the link. I completed it on PS3 so never tried the PC version.
It's only $6 on GOG and under $10 on many third party stores for Steam so if you don't want to miss out on a very solid game get it now before the price balloons up.

Too late.

It's so stupid that songs can remove entire games from sale. Has a game ever thought of adding some kind of spotify/Amazon music playlist and not licensing any songs at all? Get the user to log in with those and just stream the specific music with the users licence? Maybe even let them edit the games music selection that way.

The real reason for being delisted is that WW3 is about to kick off so we can't have negative portrayals of our military affecting recruitment. You know it's true.

When a phisical game is not sold anymore is not the same thing?

The game was tits and needs a damn 4k remaster for current Gen consoles.

There are still used copies that people are selling.
Good thing that pirates preserve almost all games (at least all of them before denuvo). Gog and other stores will most likely have to be forced to remove this game just like steam.
For digital distribution lovers, some time from now no one will be able to buy and experience this game, only used copies on ancient consoles or pirated versions will exist.
