/v/ - HAPPY HALLOWEEN

>epic

eh, it's been long enough for that oneto not be as painful to read as it once was

>>13608842

Shit brings powerful emotion, it's epic to my ears.

Postan a few.

>>13608887

RTS has GRAT music.

The remixes in the next two games (Pheonix Rising & Brothers of Blood) are also good but I like this one the best.

I didn't really like Skyrim but this track made exploring the world at night feel very atmospheric.

>>13608898

Definitely. AoM in particular doesn't have a track that I dislike.

Shit game but really great soundtrack.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NknjE2SBPxw

>>13608930

Shit Activision hits gold with this track, somehow.

>>13608938

Yeah World at War's OST is fucking great, wasn't expecting anything like it when I first played it.

>>13608952

WaW is one of those CoD games I actually have in my HDD.

>>13608933

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUCZsRVzV3I

Witcher 1 was even better.

>>13608933

>Western

>Slavs

Oh what the heck, King's Bounty games have some damn neat tracks in them.

>>13609142

Slavs are europeans, thus western.

Anyway, to continue.

>>13609164

>implying they don't

>What are Guilty Gear OSTs

>What are NieR OSTs

>What are Platinum made OSTs

>What are Kirby OSTs

>What are Falcom made OSTs

>inb4 "they are shit lol"

Take your shit taste out of here.

>>13608805

>not even posting the best one

Anything from Jerry Martin.

>>13609248

>he thinks thats the best one

>>13609355

>the cave track

Best halal ever.

They're fucking up the new one, but what else would they do?

>>13609417

>but what else would they do?

Fuck up the secon-

;_;

Perhaps one of my favorite soundtracks.

Maybe I'm being jaded, but I think this series only went downhill afterwards.

Game went to shit, but the composer didn't.

I always feel like the best tracks are the ones that work both as an accompanying bgm and as standalone songs.

>>13609164

Honestly, I'd be posting plenty of both if OP wasn't specific about it. It's piss poor etiquette not posting music in an OST thread regardless, this is assuming you aren't just samefagging to derail the thread.

On topic:

Deus ex has an amazing sound track.

>>13609246

Dont forget

>>13608805

>Western vidya usually doesn't have good soundtrack

Compared to what, the clown music in japshit?

The GTA main themes have always done a good job of setting the tone for their respective games. I've never played 5.

>>13608805

Wrong. The only TW games that have a good soundtrack are the ones where Jeff Van Dyke was the composer, the rest of them have a generic, bland, boring soundtrack

>>13614961

If that were true you would have posted a track from one.

>>13614975

I'm on my phone

>>13614985

What did he mean by this?

>>13609325

My nigger

>>13608824

Weebcuck try playing more games.

>>13609246

It does kind of boring seeing the same zipperhead music posted over and over again though.

And if we're counting eastern euro shit as western.

It was a toss up between this and the PS2 port's version. I prefer the mixing in this one.

Long ago there was a time when EA's mark on the cover was actually a hallmark of quality. I played both this and 688 Attack Sub to death.

while we're on genesis

>>13609164

>thinking nips have good OSTs

They are the best at game music. Doesn't mean there isn't a lot of good Western music, but when you stack them against each other Japan wins. The world does not conviniently work so that everything Western is the best.

This one's complicated since it was technically published in the US by a Japanese company despite being an American IP and being developed by dingoes. I guess the Shadowrun IP has always been a quagmire…

NWN is bretty cool

Also HoI 2. Gets your blood stahl pumping..

>>13615193

Seriously though this games entire soundtrack is a 10/10. There isn't a bad one in the entire game.

>>13608805

>Total War series consistently

That is false. They all sucked after Medieval 2.

I know this is going to be heresy to some since most of you are fans of Tribes, but I always felt this game was the best of the entire franchise even if it never took off as a mech franchise.

The soundtrack to this middling descent clone had no right to be this good. But it was, and that's mostly why I remember it fondly. Well… that and the many hours I put into its multiplayer.

>>13608892

Stealth games always have amazing music.

>>13615194

>NWN

It was done by jeremy soule who does the elder scrolls music. King of comfy.

>>13615436

He also did the Total Annihilation soundtrack.

>>13615436

He also did the Dungeon Siege soundtrack as well. It's main theme (>>13614788) would fit right into Morrowind's soundtrack.

Surprised this hasn't been posted yet.

I love the ww2 movie/game music of this era

not video games, but have to post it anyway for being so iconic

>>13608805

>>13608889

How are the later Total Wars in terms of music? I heard Jeff van Dyck isn't on that.

>>13615895

aside from Shogun 2, which he worked on, they're all fairly boring soundtracks

>>13615436

I can't listen to TES music anymore because I get PTSD specifically MW onward.

1st Hitman

Europa Barbarorum has some of the best music of any mod.

>>13614821

It pains me I can't get the OST working when emulating this game.

Attila has damn good OST though.

Weebuck detected

>>13619925

The "weebshit" and "western shit" cancer seems to be proportional to the cuckchan that floods here.

Total Warhammer also has great OST.

Dunno if how many of it is licensed music tho.

>>13619925

I mean, you aren't proving him wrong. for every 1 western game with a decent OST there's about 40 Japanese ones. No reason to suck the jew cock so hard, western man.

>>13620875

The western man can beat the japs in epic battle music, but the japs have the most comfy/relaxing music.

>>13620890

not really, like I said, 40 for every 1.

>>13620907

Bumping with some Earthworm Jim 2. This game had great ideas and used both the SNES and Genesis Soundchips quite well

>>13615406

Were you in the Retro FPS thread? I was about to post this.

Too bad most people don't know about this game, is literally the darks souls of RPGs

>>13619220

If I recall correctly the game attempts to pull music from the disk during gameplay so you might need to have an iso of the game disk mounted for it to work. I remember a copy of the game that I got off some abandonware site long ago had working music.

>>13619972

The rampant falseflagging doesn't help the situation either.

Nostalgia chills

>>13608824

How can any ear listen to this and not think it's great?

>>13623087

It just sounds like generic orchestra music to me. It reminds me a ton of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme, although the sound quality isn't as good. Probably because Disney had a real orchestra do it.

Does embedding soundcloud playlists work?

>>13623172

Yeah the difference is that 1942 came out in 2002 and had a quarter inch of a budget as that shitty movie

>>13623689

What I'm getting at is both sound generic with the sound quality being the biggest deviation between the two.

>>13623778

>Generic

At least they're catchy and its quality stuff in a time before Zimmer helped fucked it all up.

>>13615035

Does this sound familiar to you?

Soundtracks just don't get more epic than Mechwarrior 2.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3E409CD81FFF6F55

The Spice must flow!

I'm very fond of this game. It has many cool mods and the game itself is fantastic by default.

>>13623954

No, does this?

>>13630414

While it's a Sega game, it was made in Europe. Probably more enjoyable if you're a Sonic R fan.

>>13621287

>This game had great ideas and used both the SNES and Genesis Soundchips quite well

The Saturn/PS1 versions were better.

More MSR

>>13633242

>>13633250

Best loading screen experience ever.

>>13634000

Nice trips, but that's not Minsk.

>>13633202

Are those both the same?

Also, what's the best version of the first game?

>>13608952

>>13615876

This game had so much poured into it. Later games feel so shallow.

Hey, MSR guy, you missed my favorite.

>>13608930

WaW is amazing in how dark it is while not being super edgy. The entire game is just brutal in how it depicts combat and depressing.

>>13649511

Sorry, but I don't really like the rock tracks in MSR. They just sound really limp, like it's rock music composed by an executive and not a musician.

Jacques should stick to what he does best, europop and techno.

>>13608824

GET IT?

BECAUSE YOU ONLY LIKE JAPANESE THINGS.

HA HA HA HA HA.

HA HA HA HA

Oh fuck, i remember playing these all the time. Great fucking game. That antigravity car from the DLC was my jam.

>>13653246

That was a pretty good game and great soundtrack

>>13653246

You could post just about every single track in that game in this thread, also, contributing

Amiga games had tons of epic music.

>>13615142

That particular song inspired Duke Nukem 2's second level song. Bobby Prince, you thief

>>13654045

still have my copy as well

>>13614768

I opened this thread just to check if someone has posted this.

>>13608904

>>13615436

>>13631856

Posting Jeremy Soule in a good western music thread is like posting Hans Zimmer in a film thread: you're playing in super easy mode.

Until he made "Sons of Skyrim" I was sure his best piece was Icewind Dale's main theme. It's less than two minutes long but every single time I started a session I waited for the theme to stop before loading my game.

I still get chills when hearing Stones in Ultima 7. I know the song has been remade a million times but the way it sounds in that game is really heartbreaking.

Marketplace & Chamber Music were also very good.

I'm playing Serpent Isle in my old laptop, I know purists hate Exult but the improvements over the interface makes it worthit. The fact you can cure Cantra and recruit Gwenno are fine additions.

>>13647903

>Are those both the same?

More or less yes. The PS1 port was oddly PAL only while the Saturn version was released in North America.

>best version of the first game?

Genesis, or if you want arranged music and extra levels but with some load times, Sega CD. Just stay away from the SNES version.

>Western vidya usually doesn't have good soundtrack, but sometimes it hits.

>Implying most nip games don't have the same cheesy string synth + electric guitar soundtrack

Yeah, they've got some of the best tunes but to pretend that the music is what's special about their games is disingenuous. 90% of the time it's the same generic seasonal anime trash style.

>>13654439

most japanese soundtracks are inspired by yellow magic orchestra who invented the chiptune audio aesthetic earlier games were most famous for.

western stuff largely didn't have music outside of a few jingles or was inspired by distinctly not electronic artists. You should know this or else you don't know shit about video games.

god I loved the sound track in this game

>western music thread

>zero western games

The nigga who posted that one song from New Vegas gets props though.

I miss when 90% of games weren't shit

>>13649042

The MoH series early on had god tier soundtracks. Underground is my favorite vidya ost of all time.

>>13654733

A good game, then.

Honestly whenever I think of "epic" music in Western games, I just think of generic MCU-sounding shit like what they've got in Injustice. I wanna hear more stuff like this >>13614922 , why are so many Western soundtracks nowadays so goddamned lazy?

>>13608824

Haha, look at me, guys, I'm a weeb.

>>13608887

Good taste.

I'd post a lot of SimCity 3000 or 4 songs, but I'll post a tribute to Ensemble Studios.

>>13631544

I loved this song, always hit me right in the feels. Kinda wish I had more music like this but I don't know anything about country.

>>13608892

Amon Tobin is god tier. Brazil's greatest gift.

>>13615436

I think Oblivion's soundtrack is Soule's finest work. A lot of people call him overrated, and I guess that you could be right but to call him bad is just a lie. Always loved Oblivion, the music in the game was so thematic and walking through the world with is was a very calming experience.

Kai Rosenkranz is probably one of my favorite composers in gaming. He is extremely underrated. New World (11:47) is beautiful.

western from east

Brood War is has some pretty epic themes that are really nice to listen to on loop. Early gen RTS games in general tend to have good osts.

>>13659349

Cause western games want to be movies now so they use movie or ambient music. Doesn't help that vidya game development is a dumping ground for Pedowood rejects.

>x is generic and sounds like potc theme

this b8 is amazing, someone bites it every time.

>>13654439

All TV anime is seasonal, and there is no TV anime style of music (not to mention that all in all TV anime has probably the best soundtrack music in the world). Nor do most Japanese game have "the same cheesy string synth + electric guitar soundtrack."

For the life of me I cannot understand where people come up with this shit. Every day it's something new.

>no mention of old NFS

I would actually buy nuTW games if Jeff van Dyck was still making the soundtracks

Most western games have good music as evidenced by this thread. You'd have a much smaller, emptier thread if you asked for bad music in western games.

>mad weebshit trying to start shit

>>13696118

Japanese games still have better music.

DOW II Imperial Creed, God I wish DOW III didn't turn into a moba, relic rehired Doyle W. Donehoo do the OST and DOW III Should have been Graphics and gameplay mechanics of DOW II with DOW I Base Building

I wish Stubbs won DOW Soulstorm, He is an amazing Guardsmen. Sad to see relic fucked his shit up
