Ancient Stone Tablets isn't nearly as interesting as BS Zelda is. The developers apparently didn't want to bother rerouting the overworld so they just block off areas they don't want you to go to yet. Also I don't know how the original version of BS Zelda did it because I played the version where content was locked behind obtaining Triforce pieces but in Ancient Stone Tablets you can immediately skip to Week 4 and complete the game just fine.

A bunch of GG Xrd tracks work

>>16412894

Thank you so much for making this thread. I'm looking for good songs to make Clone Hero charts out of and these kinds of songs are right up my alley. I would like to make a video game themed setlist with songs that are actually fun to play. Here are a few songs.

Swing Time from Spiderman Vs. Kingpin (Sega CD)

Real Life from Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter

Vultures from Trials Evolution

Break Free (Lead the Way) from Super Mario Odyssey

Right There Ride On from Sonic Rush

Into Free from Dragons Dogma

Sea of Love from Techno Kitten Adventure

And if you include licensed songs

Volver a Comenzar from LitleBigPlanet

Whoever Brings the Night from LittleBigPlanet 2

>>16413268

The version I played of BS Zelda Map 1 has all four weeks in a single rom, so you can't skip. I know the way they distribute Ancient Stone Tablets is in four roms, which is more accurate to the original. Sure, maybe you can skip, but you're not only cheating the game, but yourself. It's just cool to have a few new dungeons to go through. The overworld map didn't feel that different anyway, even though I know it was. I was impressed how they managed to compress it without making me feel like I was playing a different map.

>>16413302

>using Sonic Rush

>not literally any other Sonic game (other than Chronicles)

If you're gonna go Sonic, you gotta at least do all the vocal tracks from Adventure 1/2, and Heroes first. Also Metal Harbor from Adventure 2 because it has awesome guitar.

>>16413346

You don't love the sick Malcom X mix?

>>16413357

Well since I'm already a faggot, I'll just post the song I was ashamed to post at first. It's Sonic, but more obscure, because everyone is ashamed to admit it's the best. Best theme in the game and it perfectly encapsulates why Amy is best waifu.

>>16413375

Dude she's like 12 and also a cartoon animal

This is a joke don't ban me Mark

>>16413384

amy is 12?

>>16413393

She was originally, but Sonic has aged a few years, since he canonically turned 20 in Generations.So unfortunately, Amy is probably not 12 anymore.

>>16413182

Took me a while to find the actual track I was talking about from BS Zelda. Here it is. When the track ends, your time is up and the game ends, regardless of if you're done. It's pretty intense to tie the end of your time to the end of the song.

>>16412894

The best theme from the first Disgaea. also plays in the best fight.

Evergrace, game's shit though.

Fuck I forgot this

>>16413617

Oh thank God you didn't post that intro song. I hated everything about that "story mode"

>>16412894

I know you said to avoid obvious ones but when it comes to vocal music, Nier can't go unmentioned

I SEE NO HEAR NO EVIL

>>16412894

It starts in 2:50.

Kyukoku Sentai DaDanDarn/Monster Maulers.

>>16413651

Emi Evan's harmonies in those 2 games are fucking stunning.

Drakengard, Nier.

Only plays in the Japanese version of the game, in the western release it was replaced with the instrumental version.

It also only plays in one mission. It also stops when the boss of that mission appears, which is like 30 seconds at absolute most.

What a fucking waste.

Here's an obvious one that no one actually played

Is it okay that I think all SH games have top tier soundtracks? Even the mediocre or shittiest ones like Shatterred Memories or Homecoming? okay, in those games I only like the ones where this woman sings; a soundtrack can carry alone a game so far

>>16414373

Sorry anon, I bought this game the first day it came out and played it for about 20 hours until I got bored

>>16413291

cinematech.webm

>>16414920

Akira Yamaoka does a lot of good shit, it's just that a lot of the western games suffer in everything else and only have Yamaoka's soundtrack to back them up. Then Downpour went full retard and used Daniel Licht, who can't do the soundtrack and was probably hired because he did Dexter. Oh, and Korn did the fucking theme song and even for Korn it's their worst song, void of any of the aggresiveness or dumb nu-metal. It's just a limp heavy metal song.

>>16412894

Legend of Dragoon.

Beating the game and hearing the full theme with the vocals at the end still remains my favorite to this day.

Sorry for embed, dudes.

>>16417750

>the folk opera song is suitable for the gym

there's only 100 songs in the radio, the actual let it die's music that isn't from third parties isn't anything memorable.

>>16413520

get praise for he has no equal

>>16417991

HOT WIND BLOWING

Best DLC coming through

>>16417830

The whole game is a mater piece. From a time when the japanese Soyny was concerned with quality.

i like these threads it always ends with me findind some good music

is there a way to archive this with the embeds (and webms) still working?

How rare is it for throat singing to appear in video games? Muramasa has it, but only prominent in the begining until it gets moved to the background for the rest of the track, and recently sekiro uses it for the Senpou Temple battle theme the same way, but in a more throwaway manner. Is there a game's ost that features this more prominently, at least for one track?

>>16413346

>>16413268

>>16413182

Ancient Stone Tablets plays closer to a single player Four Swords campaign with timed bonuses and hazards, not to mention mini challenges. It's more meant as a high score game.

Meanwhile the earlier BS Zelda was meant more as a pseudo-remake trimmed down to be able to be completed by mostly everyone in the short allotted broadcast hours. It also had new music made for it since they didn't originally plan to just play a synced track over the feed. AST was built with the sync feed in mind, so they just ditched the soundtrack altogether. Any BS ROMhack adds back in the LttP OST.

>>16413516

>tfw the DS version has an instrumental track replace the vocals

What a terrible port

>>16412963

>forgetting twewy

>>16413520

same thing with dragalia lost, cygames hires good composers, their games are more about creating a sublime audio-visual aesthetic than actually being fun to play

>>16412963

You're a gay.

>>16414373

you just reminded me that Madworld also had vocal tracks

>>16418574

>>16413488

>but none had vocals I think

Are you shitting me? Dead Rising 3 was a complete garbagefest, yet you forgot the only redeemable and memorable thing about it?

Space Fury 1981

atelier games. i always set the comfy vocal tracks for the atelier songs. then i set the dramatic vocal songs for boss battles and special enemies.

sophie is best girl

Feeling bretty gud about that HD remaster coming.

With an actual functioning multiplayer for once.

>>16412894

Since OP didn't specify quality as a requirement…

>>16419845

>TORpedo doesn't like I Am The Wind

What a fucking shocker. But the real surprise is that nobody posted THIS yet.

It's hard to think of non-obvious ones because the obvious ones are some of the only games to actually have vocal tracks.

This one is impressive if only because they were able to put a fairly clear vocal track on a snes cartridge.

>>16429296

At least post the full thing.

Double Dragon Neon has vocals in about half the tracks. Good shit too; very danceable

>>16417830

Ah! I was about to post this. TLoD is still one of my favourite games… Or maybe it's just nostalgia? Anyway, good choice.

The combat reminds me of Shadow Hearts, another great game.

>>16413651

Patrician taste

>>16435092

BTW, after years of being jaded by the industry going to shit and only enjoying companies failing, this game made me feel again, and I cried at the ending

This was a fun boss fight.

>>16434868

Another music with a made-up language.

>>16413375

This one is still better

>>16413393

It's Sonic, age is just a number. Big and Rouge are 18, tails is 8, and my waifu is only 6.

>>16440110

I would murder Lucas if it means I could get a sequel to this game.

>>16440110

in Ar Tonelico's case it was intrinsic to it; the language is a programming language and the songs program the world

I know there are other songs from this game. But this is the only one I really remember.

>>16434832

>suplex a fucking metal gear

>RULES OF NATURE

The way the vocals were used together with the gameplay was the hypest shit.

>>16440321

No, it doesn't. Hymmnos can't modify the world, and using something like Metafalica as the baseline is wrong due to how many requirements that song needs to meet to be properly executed.

Besides, Hymmnos is so far removed from the languages that actually have an impact in that universe, like the planet's Ar Ciela, that calling it the programming language of reality is false and misleading.

>>16434868

How stupid. Kokia had nothing to do with the development of Hymmnos, and she barely sang two songs using it in only one of the five games making up that series, not to mention the grammar and word usage in Cosmoflips is heavily questioned due to conflicting with setting rules.

>>16440110

As if making the lore deeper was a bad thing

>>16444279

>As if making the lore deeper was a good thing

I'm not familiar with weeb shit. Is this song original to the game or a different game in the franchise? Or was it added into the game like how guitar hero adds songs that dont originate from the game?

Tempo's in the house tonight!

One of the best intros of any game.

This song was fucking amazing when it kicked in during the Eremon fight. They did right by not saving it for the ending credits or the final boss. It's the only song in the game that has lyrics, and they used it for a mid-game boss… but Eremon had a pretty significant role in the story and driving the plot early on, so in a lot of ways, it was the most significant fight of the game.

>>16449906

Though Can Still See the Light is probably my favorite, especially since when all we had was Episode 1 and there were still suspected links to the classic games - it kind of felt like the perfect end-cap to the classic series.

World With Me was good too, but didn't really fit the tone of the games.

>>16449461

That looks super fun was the PS4 remake/port any good?

>tfw i & lil' sis thought this was disney quality as kids

Game still holds up, tho.

*In 0:17, as a i child, i always thought that the sentence said "ninjas don't exist". Truly sad for a fan*

>>16451276

From what people say, it has extra content, and even a VR mode. But i never trust remakes. Companies always find a way to ruin the game.

Some people said that some ports of the remake had lag input on controls and other issues.

Stick to the original, via emulation if you can.

>>16412894

I think the only video game song to get nominated for a Grammy counts.

>>16412894

Barely counts, but still good.

Seriously, no one of you posted this? SHAMEFUL!

>>16452401

>NASAnigger garbage

What a surprise that this deceptive eso-shit gets an official award.

>>16456909

Anyone can give away awards. The industry gives away awards to itself not because they actually want to congratulate themselves for the shit they produce, but because it creates publicity.

>>16456909

It's just the Lord's Prayer but in Swahili.

>>16457056

That's what makes it so brilliant I think. Its a song that could've been written and composed hundreds of years ago but wasn't until now. There is some brilliance to that.

>>16457056

>>16457063

and now the nigger chants reverberate in your head until you die. Brilliant!

>>16456868

At least post the superior japanese version.

MEMORIES BROKEN

>>16452344

The Pizza Power song was taken from their live action concert tour.

>>16451647

>Game still holds up, tho.

The game which was so bad, they had to create Mask of Eternity just so that people would forget that KQ7 even happened. Holds up? Ok, gameplay wise - it's alright, but the art style is complete dogshit. All of those "Interactive Cartoons" late Sierra did were terrible to look at, especially coming off of some of the best pixel work the company ever produced with KQVI, QFGIV, LSL6, etc. The voice acting took a hell of a nosedive as well, which was astounding because it was already generally kind of bad, but now they were trying to make every line super exaggerated to match the new cartoony style.

WHEN HEAVENS DIVIDE

I WILL DIVE INTO THE FIRE

SPILLING THE BLOOD OF MY DESIRE

THE VERY LAST TIME

MY NAME SCORCHED INTO THE SKY

>>16459456

No. /leftpol/ (/trannypol/) is.

>>16459509

Yes, but the thread is about games with vocal tracks, no matter where they came from.

Xenogears had a god-tier soundtrack.

>>16457000

<greeted by the main menu, watching the sun rise over the sparkling lights of humanity, to hymns that rise from quiet to triumph simultaneously recalling our origins and anticipating our destiny, charting our course from the stone age to the stars, a perfect summation of civilization in all senses

>oh, sure, it's an amazingly beautiful tableau that would bring a tear of awe to the eye of the most stonehearted cynical bastard, but it's too vague and cosmic for a game about the sheer wonder of man's history

Super Famicom

Nothing like a crossover between japanese tropes from anime and tokusatsu.

>>16475499

Sega of Japan was doing great at the time. That generation was the golden age of vocal tracks for games.

Completely broken portuguese, but a nice song nonetheless.

I always think of Shining Blade when I think of games with vocal tracks because the songs were an actual gameplay mechanic. Enemy bosses had force fields that made them nigh invincible, but certain female characters had the power to sing songs that would neutralize this field and give bonuses to your units like HP regen or damage bonuses. The interesting thing is that the songs weren't just an effect or a short 5ish second track like in Ar Tonelico. The song you activate would actually become the BGM until you switched to a new song or stop singing.

Recently I have been on an Athena Asamiya binge.

Speaking of Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, this was so refreshing to hear after not getting KO'ed a single time once in Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown. Thank you, El Blaze.

>>16412894

This tune off bullet witch's ost is really nice.

>>16418080

Legend of dragoon is garbage. PS1 is full of great JRPG's but dragoon isn't one of them.

>Ctrl+F Kata

>Nothing

The fuck.

GANBARE SO GANBARE

The song responsible for 90% of the cases of people asking their money back.

It starts in 1:57.

favorite rendition of Forces

>>16413775

I still can't believe they got Rob Zombie's brother Powerman 5000 to make a track for that game.

With the Japanese audio option, the main theme in Asura's Wrath gets vocals. It sort of sucks because the vocals help in a lot scenes, but the english cast is way, way better then the japanese cast.

In general I think Asura's Wrath is pretty much the only game to do the whole interactive story/cinematic/QTE based format right. It's arguably barely even a videogame, but as a piece of media/an expierence/whatever, it's fucking incredible. I can't reccomend it enough even if it's just watching the game and DLC on youtube.

Especially if you are into stupid, crazy over the top shit a la G Gundam, Gurren Lagann, Bayonnetta, etc. Mechanically the game's shit but the sheer fucking audacity and spectacle of the cutscenes is mind blowing and the aeshetics, art design, music, and story is really well done.

Unironically cried a bit at the ending of the main DLC.

>>16507508

WHY IS IT NOT ON PC?

Goddammit Capcom.

>>16479604

Very christian-ish song.

>>16507559

Yes. It is very comfy and beautiful.

The theme is not a coincidence. The game's plot deal with good religious beliefs from rural people vs corrupted church/institution imposing subversion of the beliefs on those people while hiding truths from them.

>>16424700

rare one from way back. may not be the best track, but as a wee lad finishing the game during a comfy winter evening made it quite memorable.

also surprised this wasn't posted yet (or I missed it).

>>16464276

Bloodborne's Cleric Beast

While people are quick to point out "Into Free", Dark Arisen's "Coils of Light" is pretty underrated. Though Dark Arisen fucked with the music of the original and replaced the stellar title theme, the new music is still pretty good. Posting Japanese version because instrumental arrangement and composition is superior.

>>16560633

afaik that doesn't work with invidious links.

This better have been already posted and I'm just too blind to see it.

>>16600946

The voice in English is better. It fits Daimon more as well.

I will make in-game webm with singer in few days.

>>16655412

pretty good and stands out visually

Dariusburst: Chronicle Saviours

>>16418415

Jago's theme from the new Killer Instinct game has it.
