Dark Helmet Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Oh, I forgot to answer Planescape Torment Jade Empire There's lots of good music in games, but no other game creates so much emotions with their music. Definitely agree with these two choices. I recently got Jade Empire, and while it was pretty short, the music was definitely great. And Planescape goes without saying. Seems Jeremy Soule isn't too popular (understandable), but I really liked his work on Dawn of War. The music was fantastic, and I thought it added quite a bit to the atmosphere.
Tale Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Chrono Cross I love Yasunori Mitsuda so much. Xenogears and Xenosaga Episode I are also his work and superb. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Zoma Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Seems Jeremy Soule isn't too popular (understandable), but I really liked his work on Dawn of War. The music was fantastic, and I thought it added quite a bit to the atmosphere. Personally, I prefer 40K soundtracks from a very old X-COM like WarHammer 40K game known as "Chaos Gate". Now that music totally captures the 40K atmosphere unlike Soule in my opinion.
Jorian Drake Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Unreal 1. Oh and if anyone didn't notice Alexander Brandon is now Audio Director at Obsidian Entertainment (thanks, funcroc!). Only this clip illustrate the sheer happiness and joy that i felt after that announcement say 'infiltration' http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=705471
Setzer Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Chrono Cross I love Yasunori Mitsuda so much. Xenogears and Xenosaga Episode I are also his work and superb. Wow, totally forgot about Xenogears. Another great soundtrack!
ryan@seganerds Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Panzer Dragoon series and Shenmue series Some of the most epic and moving music I've heard bar none.. Video game or other wise. Jet Set Radio, On its own it's not my kind of music, but it fit Jet Set Radio / Jet Grind Radio perfectly.. awesome. SEGANERDS #1 unofficial Sega News website

Musopticon? Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Jet Set Radio Future is definetly up there. Fits the game like a tentacle fits a...well anyway. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds

@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 The opening theme for R-Type... Some of the Icewind Dale music was pretty darn good aswell... "I'm a programmer at a games company... REET GOOD!" - Me

Now that music totally captures the 40K atmosphere unlike Soule in my opinion. Some day, I am going to find that game in a bargain bin somewhere... if for nothing else, then just the music. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

kalimeeri Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 The full soundtracks for Spellforce and Knights of the Temple are both permanently on my playlist, right next to PS:T's. (Never played either game.)
metadigital Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 How did you encounter the music, if you didn't play the games? Did you choose it because of the author (sound unheard), or did a friend play the game and you heard it there? OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

Farbautisonn Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Pretty much everything done by Jesper Kyd. (Hitman, Assasins, Splinter Cell ect). I've bought the Hitman soundtracks and I almost listen to them every day. The planescape soundtrack is also one of my favorites. The IWD/BG series have great tracks too. Jeremy Soule / Inon Zur have made some great soundtracks over time, even if Soule seems to be a bit "conservative" in his music. I also loved the winter tracks from Medieval Total War. -Farb "Politicians. Little tin gods on wheels". -Rudyard Kipling. A European Fallout timeline? Dont mind if I do!
Blarghagh Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 You know... WarCraft II. There isn't another game that had music that gets me pumped up like that. Even if they are midis.
Musopticon? Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 With the athmosphere Two Thrones has, Inon Zur has raised to a fave status in my book. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Amentep Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Jet Set Radio Future is definetly up there. Fits the game like a tentacle fits a...well anyway. Yeah, the track choices on that game really fit the setting and were greatly energetic which always got me into playing the game. Lets see, I'm rather fond of the Planescape: Torment soundtrack and Icewind Dale. And Vampire: Bloodlines was done rather well (Arcanum had some nice songs, but there was no depth to the soundtrack.) Tactics Ogre I really like an awful lot. Great marches and character songs. Xenogears is another good one. As is Vagrant Story. And I loved the music to the original Valkyrie Profile game. Great soundtrack there. Final Fantasy III aka Final Fantasy VI was the first game soundtrack that made me want to own a copy of the soundtrack (luckily Squaresoft had a way to order it from them at the time!) I got to admit while I wouldn't want the soundtrack, I love the cheesy march music from the Freedom Force games. Probably my favorite soundtrack that I was never able to track down is for the Resident Evil: Outbreak series. Both game soundtracks have great songs and the opening theme is beautifully haunting. I probably like the songs on those two better than the Silent Hill soundtracks, which are also very good. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Dark_Raven Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Kotor 1 had a decent soundtrack and K2 had some pieces as well. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
