RTP Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Concerning games, the older days were the best imo. The first Unreal Tournament game was one of them that I loved most, also because of the soundtrack. I mean, listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oE8heI-Ozc The point is that it made playing (and killing) not looking that "ultra cool" or whatever. The music was even relaxing at times (well, not that particular track -- and some others also not, but still). It made the game feel smooth and made me have a good time. And then there was Oddworld. Awesome ambient soundtrack, awesome graphical pictures (although 2D, but that didn't matter back then) ... what you want more? The point with the soundtrack was the high level of integration. It changed during action phases and always felt very fitting that way... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwSVs1wC8B8 By the way, on checking for Oddworld soundtracks I came across the news that they are going to remaster Abe's adventures -- good news for fans About the more modern games ... there is Mirror's Edge that has an awesome soundtrack -- which is mostly due to the fact that Solar Fields composed it ... and the guy has a hand for making good music, both ambient and upbeat, just as the gameplay needs it. If you want to "play" a Solar Fields track that's the way to go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4776DKJnV9I And then there's my last contribution to what I like best -- the Elder Scrolls series. Actually I love all of their newer games, but Skyrim just has the most massive main theme. Jeremy Soule is the composer (and he also was the composer of the scores of the previous games) and I just love his stuff. It's practically classical music, but in an ambientish way, without the load of different sounds that classical usually had and which kept me from liking it. thanks to Jeremy, I begin to understand this music now too So ... my neighbors listen to this whether they want or not: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc9ZuSmb1BU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symphoid Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 ^I love that one. Some of these have been major influences on my music composition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcIZtREgbsE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcIZtREgbsE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj04oRO-0Ws]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj04oRO-0Ws http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MjdfouYeYc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MjdfouYeYc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmRrI8Qg3X0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmRrI8Qg3X0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergi Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 woah! that chrono cross track is beautiful. sounds a lot like it was inspired by early minimalism like Steve Reich, go listen to Music For 18 Musicians! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travbrad1001 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Whatever you do don't listen to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQbOAEP-vgM its addictive Probably my favorite game soundtrack of all time, and a really great game too! It's impossible to get it out of your head once you've heard it though Turrican II You've probably heard it already but Tea Chairs did a track called "Turrikaner" which was a remix of that.

Imba Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Uamz7Ml-WI One of first PC games i played, and probably first OST for me (not counting CS theme)... first minute is just epic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormion Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 I'm not so much into ethnic, but this is amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss421nbCAJE The whole soundtrack is brilliant. It's by David Wise the same guy who wrote the original trilogy soundtrack. The game is godly as well, possibly the best 2D platform I've ever played.

Penzoline Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Ah I didn't see this thread before. I'll list some recent top tier favourites. Ghost Recon Future Soldier by Tom Salta and Hybrid. Cinematic with electronic elements, hybrid such talented and diverse producers. Assassin's Creed scores(Or the JP scores), everything that Jesper Kyd touched is practically golden. I actually own the AC2 audio promo copy and AC: Brotherhood LE audio CD because I love his work so much. If only I could buy a physical copy of the first games ost. Vanquish was tremendous in just about every way, the soundtrack was also interesting, as it reminded me of those 90s electronic themed osts in games(as did the whole game, in fact). Total goa^ Another obscurity was C&C4, the game itself a total travesty, but EA used music from storage and in-house producers to create a really interesting multi-thematic OST, the best part about the game. Some random mentions. Unreal Tournament 3 score is a pretty fantastic multi-genre edm fest. Tekken always had interesting tracks. Resident Evil games had always nice soundtracks with a bit of cheese. Other notable game score people are Jason Graves, Steve Jablonsky, Boris Salchow, Harry Gregson, Jack Wall, Frank Klepacki (C&C). It's interesting how game soundtracks practically merged with movie soundtracks, obviously they are constructed for a different medium but the same people work on both.

desysko Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I love Deus Ex: Human Revolution's OST so much. I seriously wished they made a proper release of all the tracks from the game. I'm still not happy about that. Lots of good posts here. I love that Assassin's Creed song, I haven't listened to any video game soundtrack in some time. I think I now shall spend the rest of the night searching my hard drive for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
