OP redpill me on Headhunter, should I play it and why?

As to the thread I've been listening to Ace Combat 2 OST lately, there is something so unique about it, the japanese guitar playing and interesting synth melodies

Now that is a relatively obscure game OP. XBOX exclusive iirc.

Headhunter was supposed to be the Dreamcast's answer to Metal Gear Solid and Syphon Filter but it just got forgotten to time despite having a PS2 port a year after it came out. Probably didn't help that it came out on the DC the same year that MGS2 did. Got a sequel too called Headhunter Redemption but I have no idea if it's any good.

>XBOX exclusive iirc.

Nope. It came out on the Dreamcast first, then got ported to the PS2.

Headhunter has a Robocop-like satire action movie feel, which makes it very comfy. It's fun to play, the graphics are excellent by Dreamcast standards, and the music is also great.

I remember Headhunter redemption getting mediocre reviews although a 7.5 back then was different from today.

(This is the reason why I come to 8chan.

Every other place is normalfaggies with their mainstream games and eceleb numer 3456 talking about soulless corporate product 278_14)

This soundtrack is fucking great. It's got cheesy karaoke, 90s style funk, traditional Japanese music, and everything in between. Fuck you for killing this franchise, Konami

My heart can't handle it, anon, stahp. patrician taste

>>16298557

Fucking quality ITT.

I think one that is a must, is a good main menu/main theme. It's one of those things that can either make or break when it comes to grabbing your attention. Not to mention, a comfy or up-beat theme is more likely to put me in the mode for some action. Red Faction's theme was pretty good in that regard.

The funny thing is, when you look at one of the trailers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB8HD5peoNs) that they made for Redemption, it's mostly gameplay and in-game cutscenes. By today's standards, it's already got a hell of a lot more going for it than most games today. Especially, since you won't see much in the way of unscripted gameplay, until you get your own hands on said game. I miss the old days where trailers were like that. Now the phrase "not actual gameplay" is everywhere in these trailers.

>7.5

Also, yeah, a 7.5 back then wasn't bad at all. I guess you can thank sites like IGN, turning the number rating system into a massive joke.

Biggest complaint is that the bike is a bitch. Way too many times where I rammed into a wall because you cannot turn when you initially speed up too fast. This is only a problem because you got to get skill points by going fast on the bike to advance the story, and crashing will have you lose a lot of points. "Stealth" is a joke and you can run right behind an enemy and kill them. Game isn't too bad, but I honestly enjoyed the sequel more, even if the story in the sequel was more retarded.

The Suffering had an almost entirely percussive emphasized OST, and it really adds to the game's charm

>>16298397

I really like how GitS games use professional but rather obscure techno artists for their OSTs

Here's something genuinely overlooked. I never would have found this if I hadn't been bored out of my head one night years ago, perusing the indie marketplace on the 360. The game itself is whatever, but the soundtrack is absolutely stellar. It's comprised of strictly folk music.

By the same composer of Headhunter.

Nightfire has a pretty comfy soundtrack, especially some of the multiplayer map themes.

Why do retards do this?

I think what kills these threads despite their potential is that everyone posts but nobody listens. Maybe reformat the OP as a sort of game, post one/listen one, or something. Have everyone that posts more music listen to and comment on previously posted music of their choice. I considered having music posters have to comment on the music immediately before them, but that seems a little too /b/ for a simple OST thread. Perhaps I'm wrong though.

That's complete bullshit and I think you should go back to whatever social media circle you came from. The thread will be used for whatever it's good for; I downloaded a few games here but I wouldn't have posted otherwise without your stupid post prompting me

I could go for a new fighting game with a Eurobeat-esque soundtrack. The days gone by with no Sega Megamix sequel either are wasted ones.

>>16298419

The music was done largely by Richard Jacques as well and I recall it being used on Arino's show before, too.

The guys who managed to translate this game deserve a fucking statue

>>16295751

Headhunter. I remembered playing it but I forgot the name. Why was it so hard to find it again?

Here's one of my favorite ancient soundtracks. Hard to believe it came out of an SNES

I listen to this when I nep.

>>16308446

>Why was it so hard to find it again?

It's quite obscure, the Dreamcast version only came out in Europe.

That's Tim Follin for you. And you'll be even more surprised with older consoles.

The guy is a genius.

>>16295751

mah nigger that's a blast from the past, GOAT soundtrack too. have another.

>>16295751

>>16339704

fuck, I just remembered, didn't jack's theme play when you on your way to the final mission (which itself reuses part of the main theme)?

richard jacques is way too damn underrated

THis game had a quite impression on me as a kid, it was something. It hurts me, knowing there won't be game with similiar setting and direction: late 90s action with all its best cliches composed into something original.
