Judge Hades Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Well, I expect sequels to have similar music to the originals so they have some sort of continuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshugger Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 (edited) Well, I expect sequels to have similar music to the originals so they have some sort of continuity. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Deus Ex: IW is sequel where the soundtrack was its own compared to the original. The only tune that was the same was the theme, the rest of songs were completely new. Halo 2's soundtrack on the other hand, had too many similarities compared to the original.

Gabrielle Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Bloodlines music's really good and sets the tone of the setting well, esp in the club. Anyone know what the genre is and where I can find more (artists, albums etc)? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Goth, industrial, ethereal , dark techno. The bands that are on it are: Ministry Daniel Ash Tiamat Lacuna Coil Chiasm Die My Darling Aerial2012 Genitorturers Daling Violetta I have the soundtrack that came with the game.

Gabrielle Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Icewind Dale and Bloodlines have the best soundtracks. A game must have good music otherwise that's going to kill the gaming experiance for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baley Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Ministry is the only worthwhile band on that list. Get your hands on "Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Moth Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I've never played Bloodlines, but of game soundtracks I'm rather fond of the Halo 2, KOTOR, and Warcraft III soundtracks. I personally think the score helps add to the effect of the game and helps me get "immersed" in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atreides Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Thanks for the Bloodlines leads. I'll check some of them out. The soundtracks has certain vibes worth following up on. Spreading beauty with my katana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laozi Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Icewind Dale, Jade Empire, Diablo, and Grim Fandango had good soundtracks. I remember liking the music form the Civs game, usually. I also liked the music on Shadow of the Colossus, but I usually don't take the time to learn who composed the music as I don't often have any desire to hear the music outside of the games. People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.

Blank Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 1. The opening theme for MGS2 is one of my favourites. and the electric guitar remix they have for it in snake tales for MGS2:Substance compliments it well. 2. I usually turn off teh gaming music because it usually gets annoying to me. it sometimes feels like they are trying to be epic all of the time, but i don't want it to be like that. and the volume also gets really really loud sometimes and that is annoying too 3. although, today, randomly when i was randomly replaying a random part of K2, i came across the Iziz City Cantina music which i found to be extremely entertaining, even though it is less than a minute long and loops forever, but i could listen to that for days before it got old. 4. Final Fantasy games always seem to have good musical scores. 5. and simple things like the astrolander or anaconda themes from the minigames in timesplitters 2 are always enjoyable and fun to listen to while you play them. 6. i just remembered the techno music in red alert 2, that stuff is all classic.

CoM_Solaufein Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 The dungeon music in Diablo was pretty good. In VtM: Bloodlines the Velsuvius music was very fitting for that place. It had a seductive dance feel to it.

Petay Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I enjoyed the music in Bloodlines too, but I can't say I got very far in that game, so I didn't really get to enjoy some of it. It just makes me feel so much more immersed into a game when there is some good music to a game, especially Bloodlines, because it has that dark and chilling feel to it. KotOR1 and 2 music was pretty good too, although not amazing, because it seems like i've heard it all before when it comes to SW music, it seems to me to be set around the same tune.
