Wonderful music in games. - Googolplex - 06-11-2011 I always dreamed if I hear this music. Penumbra has fantastic music too and some titles in Amnesia too. But I mean not the horror music, I mean music, that let you dream. I have some music here and I love it. City Valley Of Blood Monastery Stewark Cinematic Score 1 Toshoo Jungle Xardas Tower 1 Credits It is from this game: http://gamingvz.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/arcania_gothic_4_screenshots_juli_2010__15_.jpg RE: Wonderful music in games. - Sexbad - 06-12-2011 Oh... So much to share... From Borderlands: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKMoAZtyEZ0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN--JgmgsRw From Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALYq2rpCr6s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjieBdmdnqc From S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XZfD1HCI7s All of the STALKER score is fantastic, but most of it is built around atmosphere. Here's my favorite from that category: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsl2KMak6S8 Minecraft: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJREl0n0rcg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl1SACrzPF8 Shattered Horizon (composer is from Poets of the Fall!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yx_Ubio26DA Singularity (unfortunately, not actually in Singluarity): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taHxRg0Ldrg Overgrowth (composed by Mr. Tarmia himself!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZU5MDlGMtg Star Trek: Armada (the entire Fed. soundtrack, skip to 5:30 for the best part): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDBDFiUQYlM Quake 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78cCEPL_MLY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GReQssaLUg Prey: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghSkgyosR7E Chains: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OcG_X3pUG8 RE: Wonderful music in games. - Finska - 06-12-2011 Doom has always had awesome music! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uf47DQj_2Gg - Original http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ysDV9POBXE - Doom 3 RE: Wonderful music in games. - Leu Radu - 06-12-2011 My favorite game music, I guess, is the soundtrack of Gothic 3 (a combination of orchestra and classic guitar) and Diablo 2 (really gloomy and always interesting, nothing repeats too much). The 70's music from GTA Vice City really gets me groovin'. And Duke Nukem's main theme really gets me going (here's a nice version of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-y0MdPXslo ) But the music that actually impressed me the most while playing a game is the music of Enclave (an old, seems like obscure, action RPG). I've never heard anything like it. It has calm, soothing music while exploring, but when entering a battle, it would fade perfectly into a harsher, strong music. The magic was that both tracks had the same tempo, melody, but the battle music had loud drums, horns, choir, and got you really pumped. The music shifts flawlessly. While playing, I couldn't even tell there were two tracks, though I felt the influence from the music. Example: Explore: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3K4qI5eC3Q Battle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqDUZmVmgcI Just listen alternatively at small parts of it and you'll get the point. RE: Wonderful music in games. - willochill - 06-12-2011 some of my favorite music in games was the songs in penumbra when: 1. You are in the big part of the old mine, with the creepy strings. 2. The music in the old storage. Everything about that level, including the music, was amazing, with the spider eater and the unknown monster. Quite possibly my favorite level in any video game, along with storage from amnesia and the offices in F.E.A.R. and the school from Condemned. Although I definitely think the score writers for F.E.A.R. couldve done a much better job. RE: Wonderful music in games. - GraphicsKid - 06-12-2011 The music from Universe At War is really good! (Unfortunately it's the best part of that game...) Here's a few: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpcLhbBJbKQ&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSl2DRo3K-I&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34g2KnDaW0I&feature=related RE: Wonderful music in games. - Tottel - 06-12-2011 Jeremy Soule, the composer for Oblivion, Skyrim, etc. But I will mostly favour him for Morrowind and Dungeon Siege: Dungeon Siege - Main Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ysisxLSfsg&feature=related Morrowind - Main Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdZyKLi55V0 RE: Wonderful music in games. - Xanatos - 06-12-2011 Pretty much anything by Jesper Kyd (Assassin's Creed & Hitman soundtracks in particular). He composes a wide variety of music, invoking numerous feelings and setting a near limitless array of scenes, yet his music is very recognisable and consistent. The Assassin's Creed II OST is probably the best example of Mr. Kyd's musical diversity. The Prince of Persia trilogy (the SoT one) have some memorable tracks, although the 2nd game is more heavy metal-based. In addition to the action genre is the Devil May Cry soundtracks (DMC4 in particular). Not very "dreamy" music (except maybe Out of Darkness) but the fight tracks get the adrenaline pumping & make you feel like a badarse. And they're surprisingly catchy. On the other end of the spectrum, Mirror's Edge has some very nice 'astral/crystalline' atmospheric music. Those are the only words I can think of to describe it, but it's very pleasant. Of course you can't overlook anime music. Hellsing (TV series) has got some of the coolest, most universally-liked music I've ever heard, dipping into the "groovy" genres such as jazz (acid jazz in particular), classic rock and occasionally some nice synthesised tracks. Hellsing: Ultimate (ongoing OVA series) has got some truly epic music as well, with bombastic pieces performed by the Warsaw symphony orchestra and some other battle-heavy 'modern' tracks. Also, check out E.S. Posthumus. If "FUCKING EPIC!" was a music genre, they'd set the standards for sure. RE: Wonderful music in games. - nkmol - 06-13-2011 love the soundtracks of the Heroes of Might and Magic series : heroes of might and magic V - theme : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmUfc7PpOco haven town : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86Y447mzPV0&feature=related RE: Wonderful music in games. - graykin - 06-14-2011 I'll throw out two of my favorite tracks from Star Trek Elite Force: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaseQIh2gbo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQccncZtbak It may be a sign that there is something wrong with me, but I enjoy going for walks and putting the above on a loop. There was a lot of great orchestral music from the game, but these two always do it for me. From Oddworld Stranger's Wrath I bring to your attention these two tracks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dyez7C8qco http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iYyBEnXKL4 They're a little less dreamy, but I find them to be quite enjoyable. |
