Re: The people who create video game music are underrated!

Unfortunately like most things in games now, the testament to how good music is is how much you don't notice it, above anything else anyway. That said, new game Bioshock has an incredibly rich score, and meshes future with 1930s.
 
Re: The people who create video game music are underrated!

There is a very good site that I know of, called vgmusic.com. A LARGE collection of music files from video games, and quite a few remakes that people posted.
 
Re: The people who create video game music are underrated!

Akira Yamaoka's video game music for Silent Hill is totally underrated. The first website is probably the best website out there for video game soundtracks.

Glafna the link you posted is not to MP3 files it's to MIDI files which are nice if you want to hear music that was done with a synth but not if you want to hear the ORIGINAL music.
 
Re: The people who create video game music are underrated!

A guy called Rob Hubbard wrote loads of themes for Commodore 64 games in the 80s, some of which are supeb. I love the music he did for Monty on the Run.
 
Re: The people who create video game music are underrated!

Videogames in general are underrated. I mean they are rarely considered art unlike movies, or music when a lot of effort is put in them. I think stuff like Video Games Live or Smash Bros. Live demonstrate how videogame music is just as beautiful and can cause deep emotions on people.
 
Re: The people who create video game music are underrated!

Yes but u mentioned the Fans. Of course the fans will love it. Im talking in general. Games dont get the same respect as movies and stuff.
 
Re: The people who create video game music are underrated!

Perfect Dark has decent music.

Final Fantasy 7 had great music too!
 
Re: The people who create video game music are underrated!

The Japanese have been on game with videogame music for ages. Love it!
 
Re: The people who create video game music are underrated!

There was a fantastic and little-known game for the Nintendo 64 called "Mystical Ninja: Starring Goemon." That game has some of the most incredible Japanese-themed music I've ever heard.

"027 Yamato" is my favorite piece of music from that game. :D
 
Re: The people who create video game music are underrated!

Nobuo Uematsu gets a load of credit for his music, but true, outside the gaming community nobody knows him. Square have been using vocal tracks since...FF8? so i guess they wanna try and make their music mainstream by including vocals. Hey it's worked in Japan.
 
Re: The people who create video game music are underrated!

i have to agree with the above comment about bioshock, the musical score is top grade and fits the game vveeryy well. The final fantasy series has had great music over all, along with silent hill and metal gear solid. The latter of which gave me one of my favorite songs of all time,"the best is yet to come" from metal gear solid 3. I truly wish more people than just fans could hear some of the good music in these games.

I would have to disagree.

Among the fans and gamers alike video game music is quite the big deal.

Don't believe me? Ever heard of OCRemix?

Come on, people who play games, love video game music... and it hardly gets underrated especially in reviews and shitty soundtrack can ruin a decent game.

Re: The people who create video game music are underrated!

Oh, my apologies there. Anyway, they have nice remixes of the songs, and a big collection.

IMO Final Fantasy VIII has the best soundtrack out of the franchise, and Final Fantasy VII is a very close second.

Umm, how could you ever forget FF VI with the Maria and Draco opera?






I feel that (FFVI) was the most groundbreaking in terms of Nobuo Uematsu's music prowess in the series.

Just listen to the opera and tell me otherwise.

Of course with VIII, you have Uematsu's foray into the 'pop' world. You could tell that he lost his musical control from then onward, which is why he stopped making music for square after X. Not saying those games were bad musically (or doubt Uematsu's talent), but when try to bottle creativity, it shows.

Besides that, I am a huge fan of the DDR series (musically and playing also). I have 100+ songs on my ipod from DDR/ITG/Mungyo. In fact, the song nijiiro has instilled the inspiration to get a tattoo of it. Some day I will.

I enjoyed the above videos posted by maxpowr9. My favorite from the Final Fantasy Series is "To Zanarkand" posted below:

 
Re: The people who create video game music are und

If you've guys ever watched Electric Playground, you know Tommy Telloricio(prob. wrong spelling)? Well, he actually does music for VG's too, he looks like he's pretty good on the guitar.
 
Re: The people who create video game music are und

Tallarico's a great musician, too bad he's kind of a jerk. But oh well, can't have it all i guess. :)

I find him extremely amusing, but his jerkiness does tend to rub through the screen a lil-bit.

As long as he gives good reviews for good games, me no care.
 
Best Game Music Tracks

What do you guys think are the best video game music tracks? Here are my top 3, track title and game that it's from:

1. Godsibb - Xenosaga III (AMAZING TRACK, you have to hear it somehow), here it is performed live, the composer for the game is Yuki Kajiura, and the singer is Eri Ito:

2. Aria de Mezzo Caraterre - Final Fantasy VI

3. Fatal Fight - Xenosaga II (actually it's a tie between this one and the Sakura #4, Gentle String Version, of that same game).
 
Re: Best Game Music Tracks
