Yep: we’re getting Rickrolled. The above songs are also joined by two original songs from Star-Lord’s in-game band.
“You can listen to all the songs you want when you’re in [your ship], but we have this… thing called the huddle, which when you’re in the middle of battle… and you need an extra boost, Star-Lord can call the team into a huddle and basically motivate them using a speech that he has kind of used song lyrics to help him craft,” Eidos Montreal’s Mary DeMarle back in June.
“If you go into the battle afterwards — if you were successful in motivating them — everybody gets a boost and you are hearing the song as you finish the battle. Star-Lord always gets a boost ’cause he always motivates himself, but sometimes the Guardians aren’t as motivated as you.”
