The Video Game Music Thread

Could this be moved to Prosper's Playground?

 

[GarfunkeL]

Another vote for F1+F2 soundtracks. They were great, along with Dreamweb and Dune - the four things I actually listen to outside of the games.

Not enough DA2 in this thread for your taste?

Shadowrun (genesis version) has better gameplay but slightly worse songs:

Oh, personally I really enjoy the music in Shadowrun (Genesis), especially the Renraku Arcology track above.

Someone uploaded a better version not too long ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GFAyjmHrnE

You can barely notice this thread in the jungle of DA2 threads. Just pretend it is not here.

Actually, moving it to Prospers Playground would then set the quality standard we have here at the Prestigious RPG Codex™ than when some fucking newfag creates a topic we have discussed many many fucking times get's moved to the appropriate forum.

Just my humble opinion.

The Codex doesn't have quality standard, and doesn't need one. But if you move the topic to the Prospers Playground, that's fine for me.

Shut the fuck up. Your contribution here is zero.

Topics aren't here to serve you. As can be seen in this thread, many people are actually trying to make suggestions that are different from previous threads, where applicable. Not that that is even necessary. This is one of the few recurring topics that are interesting and informative by way of broadening the exposure of good musics from obscure, under-appreciated and/or generally bad games.

Now don't get between me and my music.

Listen here you little motherfucking shitpile, while you mom was bent over her ironing board in your fucking shitty white trash fucking trailer, and bent over once, and you fat mongoloid father with his 2 inch cock suddenly got hard and thrusted it into you mothers diseased syphilis encrusted vagina and shot a pathetic wad that would soon birth you (after he wiped his dick off with a used McDonalds Burger wrap), I was fucking playing Ultima VIII and experiencing the motherfucking incline of gaming music.

That's right you little pathetic faggot shitfucks. This was before your precious 16 and then 32 bit sound and your fucking Facebook and Twitter bullshit. You can shove all that shit up your fucking collective asses and choke on it and die. Back in my motherfucking day was had a godamn Mt-32 sound card and we fucking came in our fucking pants every fucking time we heard a song in a video game.

Don't you EVER fucking tell me to shut up you little cock sucking faggot, because I will find where the fuck you live and bite your fucking small cock off with my teeth and then shove it up your fucking ass. Don't you fucking EVER piss me the fuck off because you have never seen the motherfucking fury that is a gay man fucking really pissed off.

Do I make myself clear?

With my apologies to Excommunicator, I actually think you are a pretty cool guy (NO HOMO). And yes there has been a few good songs posted here that had not been mentioned before.

THINGS

I like you Jaesun, so I'll forgive you for your error in judgment/totally pointless complaint.

On topic:
Guess who has been playing Pokemon Black recently?

 

[Ruprekt]

On that note.

How do I get the digital audio working for Ultima 8 in dosbox?

 

[made]

Do I make myself clear?

Not really. Not sure what your point is m8. That PCs needed a $500 synth attached to them to even approach the quality of an Amiga's 8bit onboard sound chip? Well then, I agree.

 

[Mrowak]

entire betrayal at krondor soundtrack. i still listen to it today.

Betrayal at Krondor main theme

 

[Mrowak]

Shin Megami Tensei's Ginza is simply awesome. Sword of Justice's arrangement from Chaos & Order is also pretty cool, though it loses a bit of the synth like charm of the original.

Then, while being more of a pretty ecclectic genre mix of several genres and gameplay styles than an actual role playing game, or even an action role playing game, Folklore, aka Folksoul if you are japanese, has some very pretty and atmospheric music, with The Judge and the Judged and The Fairy Waltz being some of the best.

Back to pure role playing games, Strange Journey's OST is quite unique and stylish, and totally awesome while being so, with Eternal Throne, Take the shield, raise the spear, and The Fear of God being some of my personal favorites.

And while I do not like most of either part of Persona II's sountracks, Holy Spear Knights from Hitlersona is very awesome.

Japanese games have better music than western games, that's fact.

I would argue here, but doing so would be like debating over apples and oranges - pointless. However, I have to say it is very saddening that so much talent and potential goes into creating products that are lacking in other artistic aspects (specifically visual art direction and storytelling) rendering them fraction of what they could have been. Mind you, it is true that these days it does not only apply to jGames but also to many western counterparts...

 

[Wolfus]

Realms of Arkania - all parts
Black Moon Chronicles - one of the best tunes ever
Diablo, DA-O, Amberstar...
Non RPG - Gabriel Knight, Alone in the Dark 2...

 

[Junmarko]

Just played through an indie game on steam called Capsized. It has an unbelievable ost. This track in particular is bad-ass, I wish more devs would put in as much effort as this!

What are some of the best video game soundtracks you have heard? Not necessary from a nostalgia standpoint, but one of quality. Something you would listen to on you mp3 player for example.

*YouTube links appreciated!*

 

[baronjohn]

Arcanum and Outcast.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WojopwjrsnY Quake 2 - Descent into Cerberon

I liten to these on a regular basis, and will probably add assassins creed to my playlist.

 

[Jaesun]

What a refreshingly new topic that has never been discussed before!

 

[ever]

I don't think I'd want to listen to any video game music on my mp3 player. In fact if I would want to, I probably wouldn't like the music in the video game.

That game my fondest video game music experiences have been:

The Legend of Zelda games.
Strike Commander.
Tie Fighter and Dark Forces ( they used the same music system! ).
Homeworld.

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

Warhammer: Dark Omen

 

[SCO]

Topic is useless without youtube links.

edit: thread fucking merged
