Bauul Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) I was always a huge fan of Thunder Force IV's soundtrack as a kid. I think it was one of my earliest exposures to metal and I bloody loved it. Stage 8, Metal Squad, is still a highlight: For more recent games, the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra's rendition of the Bloodborne OST still gives me chills, and I've listened to it dozens of times. 0 Share this post Link to post
rehelekretep Posted December 30, 2019 no mention of Chrono Trigger yet? for shame! 2 Share this post Link to post
hybridial Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) I'm a pretty big fan of Robert Holmes' work, on games like Gabriel Knight and Gray Matter. Shin Megami Tensei III and the Digital Devil Saga games have amazing soundtracks. Killer Instinct, the whole series has always had amazing music. Zone of the Enders 2 has a pretty amazing soundtrack too. 1 Share this post Link to post
Mr. Freeze Posted December 30, 2019 Dark Souls. "Nameless Song" is the end credits theme, and it's such an uplifting and haunting piece. Definitely the thing I needed after suffering through Lost Izalith and Bed of Chaos. Command and Conquer: Red Alert. Before the series became DUDE GOOFY ACTION LMAO, Red Alert was a dark and cold game about an alternate World War 2. "Ground Wire" is a level song from an expansion, and it's such an evocative track. I listen to this and I think snowy mountainous landscapes filled with troops, desperate to drive the opposing force out of the area. Modern Warfare. "Danger Close" is a military term defined as "In close air support, artillery, mortar, and naval gunfire support fires, it is the term included in the method of engagement segment of a call for fire which indicates that friendly forces are within close proximity of the target." Resident Evil (Remake). The "Save Room" theme in this game is my favorite. I always think the eerie high-pitched string sample sounds like wind whistling outside the Spencer Mansion. 1 Share this post Link to post

Jello Posted December 30, 2019 I really don't pay that much attention to the soundtrack in games honestly. More often than not I just tune it out, or turn it off. Especially in Doom 2 when playing user wads. I can only listen to D_RUNNIN so many times. That being said, I did really enjoy Quake 2's soundtrack, as well as Diablo 2's. And Dusk has a fantastic soundtrack. And... those are really the only three I can think of. I guess I was also impressed with the original Medal of Honor's orchestral soundtrack, that was the first time I noticed a game really seeming to have a dynamic soundtrack. And it might've been scripted, but it would swell during combat sections and quiet down afterwards in a way that didn't seem scripted. 2 Share this post Link to post
Roofi Posted December 30, 2019 So many very popular videogames in this thread. Just to be a bit original , I will mention "Life Signs : Surgical Unit" . A pretty obscure DS game I finished many times thanks to multiple endings. It has some really good tracks (music at 20:30 is my favourite) 0 Share this post Link to post

4everDoomed Posted December 30, 2019 When I think of that, I'd mostly pick older games. Alien 3 SNES, awesome.....I wish there was a better sound quality though Super Castlevania IV SNES, I'm not a big Castlevania fan but as soon as I run the first level I'm mesmerized Shadowrun SNES, simply a perfectly fitting soundtrack which produced a couple of awesome cover versions Terminator Sega CD, I have it on my mp3 player...sounds great. Sigil, Jimmy's soundtrack, yep,- it's on my mp3 player as well, some tunes are too good to be left alone in a wad:-))) Deus Ex PS2/PC has a very cool atmospheric soundtrack as well Streets of Rage series Sega, it's CULT! There's even a live "concert" on youtube where the original members perform several tunes to an audience. What a lovely touch! Resident Evil 1-3 + remake and Zero... nothing more to say Silent Hill... I always liked the mysterious, the dark and creepy but still somehow relaxing style of their musics. Akira Yamaoka is a genius... Super Metroid SNES and Metroid Prime Gamecube were also impressing me when I played them 1 Share this post Link to post

cambreaKer Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) call of duty 1, medal of honor, quake 2, delta force black hawk down, half life 1 & 2, doom 1 & 2 and also quake 1 mission packs Edited December 30, 2019 by cambreaKer 0 Share this post Link to post
Murdoch Posted December 30, 2019 Doom and Doom II in spite of many of the tracks being, ahem, inspired by other sources. Quake's mission pack soundtracks. Planted the seeds of my love for symphonic metal. Quake II and Mission Packs. Great hard rock that also makes a good workout soundtrack. Streets of Rage 2. The end song in particular is a beautiful melody, so full of optimism and hope. The Elder Scrolls 3 - 5. Dramatic and beautifully melodic. 0 Share this post Link to post
GamingMarine Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Revolution X's soundtrack (And pretty much the entire game) is extremely underrated, if you ask me. 1 Share this post Link to post
