Some one had started a thread on video game soundtracks on another form i use and it has been a really interesting thread so i thought id start it here.
The question is what is your favorite video game sound track?
My favorite over all soundtracks are mass effect, halo and final fantasy. Other good ones are skyrim, fallout new vegas and okami. I also own the soundtrack cds to tekken 5 and 6 and street fighter 4. I think these games have the perfect music for a beat em up. Resident evil is very good at using a subtle soundtrack and silence to create tension.
Music in videogames is more important to me than graphics. It sets the tone, adds to tension and makesset pieces feel more epic.
-
I have to agree with skyrim as it really allows you to feel what is going on in the game. Other than that I love the music in Fallout 3..not really my favorite genre of music but I really enjoyed the music. I also like how games like saints row and GTA allow you to choose the radio station. While it doesnt add to certain scenes or parts of the game, it adds a sense of realism.
-
Fallouts soundtrack is amazing. It is so mournful most of the time but then there are these cues of country music that pops up and adds a kind of irony and carry-on-regardless spirit
-
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-maaaaario!

Not sure if you have played Fallout 3(It sound like you have) but a perfect example is the "bingo bango bongo I dont want to leave the congo" song. That will probably look real wierd to most but If youv'e played the game youll know what Im talking about. Now...to find the title....
-
Descent 2 had awesome electronic music. It was REALLY atmospheric for flying around the mines.
Portal and Portal 2 have terrific songs with lyrics.
Metal Gear Solid had some good stuff, too.
-
In no particular order: Portal 2, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and Diablo 2.
(I'm considering getting a minor in Video Game Scoring/Sound Design, as this is something I pay a lot of attention to.)
I think the music in Zelda is beautiful, simple as that; great orchestrations, even if they are sampled (It's a video game, that's really the best way).
Diablo 2 is excellent because of its dissonance and ambience. It doesn't have a clear beginning/end, so it works very well for video games. And it's so creepy sounding; it really creates the feel. Along with the sound of carvers in the distance. =P
Portal 2 does a really good job of incorporating the music into the game. For example, in the beginning scene, listen to the alarm; it starts out as an alarm, but it ends up being the melody of the song, seamlessly transitioning. There are lots of brilliant sound design/synthesis techniques used to get this effect throughout the game. I also geek out at all the awesome FM synthesis used for the percussion sounds.
-
There are SO many great music composers for games!!! Of course my roots will always remain with the FF series. The composer was in interesting guy too. Pretty cool that he was a self taught musician.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobuo_Uematsu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobuo_Uematsu)
-
Yeah FF's music is awesome. We went to see the distant worlds tour in london last year. It was awesome and nobu uematsu (the composer) was there. Songs like one winged angel and libre fatali sounded awesome live.
-

I was just at the Distant Worlds in St. Louis last Friday. I had goosebumps during a few songs (To Zanarkand mostly) and it's hard to go back to the games after hearing them live.
-
My favourite soundtrack from a game is Halo, they have made some truly amazing and cool music :)
-
yeah i know what u mean. It is coming back to london in november but i cant go because my stepson has school that day and i have to pick him up and stuff.
-
That reply was to gamez post. @opp225, halo is so dramatic and grand. It works so well with the peaks and troughs of gameplay. One of my personal fabe soundtracks.
-
I listen to this stuff when I'm doing homework: http://www.sidmusic.org/sidplay/mac/ (http://www.sidmusic.org/sidplay/mac/)
It's a download with a bajillion C64 tracks and a iTunes-esque player for them. I got way into old NES composers this last summer, and SIDPLAY has most of the greats.
The best part? I'm an ethnomusicologist, and listening to this shiz is legitimate research in the field. Heck yes for sweet undergrad degrees.
-
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and The Legend of Zelda: Windwaker both have great soundtracks. The World Ends With You, despite not having music I would generally like, is actually pretty good as well. Oh, and Skies of Arcadia: Legends has an underrated soundtrack in my opinion.
-
The world end with you was such a great little game. Its urban soundtrack fit the setting quite well all though i thought it was perhaps a little more new york than tokyo. I wonder if the music was different in the japanese version?
-
The Independence War II: Edge of Chaos soundtrack was amazing. The guy was nominated for a BAFTA for it! Here's the playlist:
Independence War II Soundtrack - Theme A1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE_83i_KUWc#)
-
Halo 2 credits made me have a mosh i love mass efect and gears of war sound track espesialy the tachunka home world one :)
-

Yeah I'm not sure why they didn't just use J-Pop/J-Rock for the soundtrack. It's not like they used well-known Western tracks for it anyway. I suppose they chose whatever they felt would fit the mood for different sections of the game.
-
I really appreciate music from video games in particular those from RPGs.
My favourite soundtracks would be those of Final Fantasy 6, 7, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy Tactics and Secret of Mana.
-
Persona 3 has one of the better soundtracks I have heard in a game. All the music in that game was brilliantly done, and is pleasant to listen to in almost any setting at any time. I feel the same way for Persona 4. Both games used the same composer and had very laid back and casual music, as well as very pulsed and fast moving music. Final Fantasy is another franchise with great soundtracks. Granted, it was better when Nobuo Uematsu did the soundtracks himself, but the newest work for that series hasn't been too bad either.
-
I really enjoyed the Soundtrack of Shadow of the Colossus and Prince of Persia - Warrior Within.
-
The Ico games do have awesome soundtracks. Good call.
-
It might sound a little bit "kitsch" but Secret of Mana was certainly the first game (of my childhood) whose soundtracks really touched me.
Here are a few tracks:
Secret of Mana OST - Fond Memories (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pt2NBP2TfQ#)
Secret of Mana OST - A Wish ~ Crystal Forest Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLK8IrYrZxA#)
Secret of Mana OST - Meridian Dance ~ Mana Beast Battle Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Vo6hTc5on0#)
-
My favorite video game soundtrack remains Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Particularly the VRock Station. :)
-
The best soundtrack: Turrican II ... i love it
-
Since there are many fellow rpg and final fantasy fans here i felt i should post this. Might just be the best piece of video game music ever....
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn71hIsm0U8l (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn71hIsm0U8l)
-
I can't see the video ... :56789
-
Rome Total War
-
RTW? I never saw the soundtrack as remarkable. My faves are FFVII, and Jet Grind Radio.
-
I still listen to the Civilization 3, 1602A.D.,and Warcraft 2 soundtracks. The Mass Effect 3 soundtrack is also good.
-
I bought the mass effect soundtrack i was that impressed with it. I would love the el shaddai one too but i can only find it on japanese import and it's supidly expensive.
On a slightly different note, i recently bought dragons dogma. Its a fairly decent rpg with the traditional epic soundtrack but it has this god awful rock song (the singer has been auto tuned) at the menu. Its a very odd choice and it jars with the style of the game.
-
I hate some of the sound track of games it just says the same thing over and over again.
-
The theme from "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" can only be described in one word: EPIC!
Skyrim: The Song of the Dragonborn (with lyrics) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsnRQJxanVM#ws)
-
Donkey Kong Country on N64, is my hands down unbeatable choice for best overall score in a video game.
-
The music to Super Mario Kart 64 is among the best music ever composed for a video game.
-
Indeed. It fits the hectic pace of the races really wwll
-
If you want a good soundtrack, look no further than the Kingdom Hearts series - some of the best orchestrated music IMO.
-
No one mentioned Silent hill :P
Ragnarok Online II, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy (Advent Children movie, the O.S.T. is from FFVII but more (http://www.autocrossforum.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif))
-
Ooh yeah. Silent hill had brilliantly creepy soundtrack. That banjo theme still makes me shiver.
-
So many games with soundtracks the I really appreciate, here are some, I will probably miss some out, oh and if otherwise stated, the games mentioned also include its sequels:
Portal
The original Pokémon soundtrack
The Legend of Zelda (especially Ocarina of Time)
Mass Effect
Dead Island
Super Mario
Mario Kart
God of War
Kingdom Hearts
-
The original Pokémon soundtrack
Seconded on the original Pokémon soundtrack. The music in those games was just so iconic, Junichi Masuda is a genius. There are a bunch of great derivative works based on them too; if you're interested, check out the official "Pokémon Hikerukana?" album, and the Pokémon Reorchestrated project is very good too.
Also, obligatory props to Bastion. Aside from the awesome narrator, the music was what made that game.
-
Final Fantasy, Medal of Honor and Call of Duty (but the WW II series). Nobuo Uematsu and Michael Giacchino are the best. I once played "Aerith's Theme" on piano for my gf and she loved it.
Oh, a credit must be given for Civilization IV: "Baba Yetu" by Christopher Tin. Love the African ethnic style.
-
T_T 2 Words... Persona...4
Reach Out To The Truth -First Battle- (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzsDtqAlNHc#)
-
Batman Arkham City, I love the way it is reminiscent of Hans Zimmer's music from the Christopher Nolan batman movies, but still sounding original.
Skyrim, for all the reasons everybody else said.
And the Mass Effect trilogy. Mass Effect 2 in particular. The music from the Suicide Mission at the end of Mass Effect 2 especially. It has an epic, fast passed, frantic energy that perfectly matches the tone of the mission. It’s probably my favourite video game music ever. It also sounds very similar to the 11th Doctors theme from Doctor Who.
-
Batman Arkham City, I love the way it is reminiscent of Hans Zimmer's music from the Christopher Nolan batman movies, but still sounding original.
I love that soundtrack (and the game itself for sure). I wish the composers would be hired to score the next Batman film. I love this piece in particular:
Batman Arkham City Soundtrack - I Know What You Guys Are Thinking (Track #11) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmW4VMITRfQ#ws)
-
I haven't kept up with recent games, so my favorites are from years ago. Quest for Glory 3 and 4 had some great music. I also liked Legend of Dragoon's soundtrack.
-
A few highlights from Stewart Copeland's superb work on the original Spyro the Dragon...
Spyro the Dragon - Dry Canyon Music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6i_wfYCjgE#)
Spyro the Dragon - Dark Passage Music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTzUAd_UxDQ#)
Spyro 1 - Credits (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3j9iExB4YY#)
-
Legend of Zelda (NES) Intro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyMKWJ5e1kg#)
-
Yeah Final fantasy soundtracks were awesome, i really liked too the soundtrack of darkcloud on ps2
a lot of snes games had great soundtracks.
-
I like the sound track for Sonic The Hedgehog (original), and Mario the most; but Dark cloud 2, FF, more modern sonic games, and Persona games are all close lol
-
I really like Heavy Melody's soundtrack from Godzilla Unleashed(which is a soundtrack I have).
-
I have the snake eater theme on my ipod.
Recently played king of fighters xiii and that has an excellent retro sound track.
-
Naturally the Zelda games have great music. I also found the pokemon soundtracks (through third the generation) and the soundtrack to Journey to be quite excellent.
-
Empire magazine have a quiz on video game themes - http://www.empireonline.com/features/retro-video-game-music-quiz/ (http://www.empireonline.com/features/retro-video-game-music-quiz/)
-
My favorite video game music ever... The 7th guest. Bye The Fat man. A great soundtrack for a great game...
-
Portal 2 all the way! I'm listening to it at least once a week at work. Plus when my Risk Legacy group gets together, it's always on in the background.
-
I have to say the soundtrack of Uncharted Among the Thieves, are very relaxing, nice tracks and very careful with details like the area were you are and the music from that place (like tibetan music when you're on the tibet, or when youre on Nepal), since i played the game i loved the music behind, so i got the soundtrack album...
I love that trilogy by the way :345678
P.S.: Sorry about my bad english :62213

Tekken. All of them. (http://www.audioshocker.com/2012/09/10/hypercombocast-bonus-stage-4-tekken-a-history-of-beats)
-
Personally I liked the soundtrack for GTA 4, because you could import your own tracks. :laugh:
-
I love the following
1. One Winged Angel - Advent Children
2. Liberi Fatali
3. Small Two of Pieces (Restored Pieces)
I also pluck the song FF 10's Zanarkand Theme in my guitar.
-
I'll be the first here to say the classic Mega Man Series. While I'd have to go with Mega Man 2 specifically I feel there's at least one memorable or really good catchy song in each of the games.
To add to my list I'll go with Super Mario World, Mario Kart 64, Super Mario World 64 and the original Sonic the Hedgehog Series.
-
I LOVE most of the Zelda soundtracks, with Ocarina of Time and Windwaker having the two most memorables ones I thought. Fire Emblem: Awakening also has an amazing soundtrack. Most recently, my fiancee has been playing through Ni no Kuni, which looks and sounds beautiful!

Fallout 3. Still got Way Back Home stuck in my head.

Ooh. I've never heard of that. I do love survival horror games though.

While TES IV: Oblivion's soundtrack sounds like complete crap if you're listening and playing, but it is quite beautiful when listening to it without the game.

your teacher is killjoy. What i like about that music is the violin solo. The musician who played that surely has put emotions to it..

http://youtu.be/lnlA2rCHJHY (http://youtu.be/lnlA2rCHJHY)
However the new BF4 and the such have lost the main melody and are not the same and in my opinion now suck :324

You guys and girls should check out Red Bull Music Academy's "Diggin' in the Carts (http://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/magazine/diggin-in-the-carts)" documentary series about the origins and MVPs of Japanese video game music. It was released in 6 parts, and finished yesterday so you can watch 'em all back to back now.
Also, a good podcast to subscribe to is the Laser Time Network's "VGMpire (http://www.vgmpire.com/)" podcast, which celebrates all kinds of video game music. Right now they're hosting their third annual "Rocktober" in which they dedicate the entire month of October to a specific game franchise, so this month is all Pokemon.
-
final fantasy x and kingdom hearts soundtracks are both awesome
i have the songs in my ipod :)
-
Usually I like the work of Nobuo Uematsu on Final Fantasy, but I have to admit that Final Fantasy X is far from being its best composition to my opinion (except for some really good tracks).
As for Kingdom Hearts, although I don't know the whole series, the music seems to be nice. Anyway, I usually like Yoko Shimomura's compositions. I particularly like the work she's done on Legend of Mana.
-
recently, i ve been playing my harmonice in the tunes of various ocarina piece in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time,
My best friend who loves that game, saw and heard me playhing. and i got his approval.

favorite soundtrack for me would either be the persona franchise's music or the kingdom hearts 2 soundtrack.
-
I have the kingdom hearts 1 and 2 soundtracks on cd. I got them via a friend who lives in japan.
-
Unreal Gold, Deus Ex (my pic) both have mind blowingly good soundtracks. I'd also lik to mention the Halo games and Splinter Cell series

I like the soundtrack of the game "Stuntman" by Reflections (as I hear it, they are now a Ubisoft studio representing them for The Crew). The game came out in September 2002 so it was a game I grew up with. 2 good songs from the "Stuntman" soundtrack are by Overseer and are called Basstrap and Velocity Shift.

Descent 2 had awesome electronic music. It was REALLY atmospheric for flying around the mines.
Portal and Portal 2 have terrific songs with lyrics.
Metal Gear Solid had some good stuff, too.
I absolutely love Metal Gear Solid: both the game and the soundtracks. The whole franchise is The Boss! (Maybe except for Revengeance)
What was wrong with Revengeance?
-
Manhunt has a fantastic soundtrack. If you're a fan of John Carpenter's soundtracks or dark ambient in general give it a listen even if the game not your thing.

I feel that Revengeance moved away from stealth action to more of a slash-and-hack style of gameplay. It's just my opinion. Nothing much.
It was supposed to. You're Raiden, not Snake...also, it was made by PLATINUM. Action is kinda what they do.
-
I know I'm going to have to hear about this, but the original Halo: CE soundtrack was awesome, right under it on the list is the Pokemon FireRed soundrack.

both minecraft soundtracks are great

That was the whole point of MGR. To break away from stealth so that Metal Gear as a series could expand.

Come on. OR/AS has to be on that list, simply for Wally and Zinnia. And do not forget Black and White. N's farewell and Alder's encounter theme are some of the best songs in the entire series. And then there is X/Y with Kiseki. What does D/P/P have to offer against that?

Yeah, but as a WHOLE OR/AS doesn't do it for me as an absolute all-time favorite. X/Y is close but it needs to age a bit before I declare it amazing. "Professor Sycamore" and "Friendship Forever Theme (Music Box)" are amazing at least ;0

It is just that I do not really recall any theme from Gen4 as memorable. Gen1 has the whole being the original, being the most-used region and generally being played more than any other game in its favor as far as memorability is concerned. Gen3 has the drought/deluge themes and some amazing pieces of route music. Gen5 really started the amazing character themes. In my opinion, Gen5 stands out as the generation that does characters best. Musically, but also narratively.
-
-KI OST: is really good. the metal effect and tempo of the songs are just well placed.
-Mass Effect OST: just unforgettable and really encapsulates a spacey feel
-Kingdom Hearts OST: has a track for basically all situations
-
My two favorites are the fallout franchise soundtracks, and Phoenix Wright franchise great music in each.

Yo, @Delta & @Glitchy000 ...y'all might wanna check out this series of episodes of a video game music podcast I listen to called, "VGMpire (http://www.vgmpire.com/?s=Pokemonth&searchsubmit=)".
-
Skyrim is still the game that has the best soundtrack, for me at least. Skyrim or The Last of Us.
-
I guess i would say that Undertale, Persona 3, Persona 4, Paper Mario TTYD and Fallout New Vegas have my favorite soundtracks. Undertale is just...amazing, the Persona series has an interesting medley of sounds to the music, Paper Mario has just good Nintendo style music and FNV has that old country and jazz radio that i can listen to for hours on end.

After years building up the courage to play OFF, I finally did it and in the end I found an amazing track:

My all time favorite video game soundtracks are, Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Bayonetta 2, Star Fox Assault and Final Fantasy VI. I'm very classical in a way.

One game franchise.....
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA !!

Star Fox Assault is one of my favorites too, particularly Star Wolf's Theme. Never played Ocarina of Time through completely but the soundtrack is amazing.
Some of my other favorites are Metal Gear Solid (any of them really), Super Mario Galaxy, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, and Super Mario 64. Also there was a SCUBA diving game called Endless Ocean for the Wii that had an excellent soundtrack.
-
Silent Hill and Mass Effect.
-
The Dallas Symphony Orchestra just did the Final Fantasy series.... I missed it again :embarrassed:
-
Like many have said, the Legend of Zelda scoring, are amazing. I haven't encountered one yet that I didn't love. The GTA series radio soundtracks, and the Bethesda Fallout radio soundtracks were really cool. They really widened my appreciation for styles of music I would never have listened to otherwise. I don't think I would have ever learned an appreciation for 1940's pop music otherwise :happy
Dark Souls is in a realm of its own. Kind of like Zelda, its very poignant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYQrxnXD9zo
The credits of Driver 2 completly blindsided me with "just dropped in". https://youtu.be/Naf-wVHUCcc?t=1m50s
I think the absolute coolest moment I've ever experienced in game scoring/soundtrack is in Hitman 3 when you walk into a bar in the Rendezvous in Rotterdam, and Immortal by Clutch is playing in the bikers "den". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-SovbiT2Pk
-
My favorite game soundtrack is a tossup between Undertale and Final Fantasy XIII-2. Undertale has the staging and poignancy down, but FFXIII-2 has the sheer musical complexity and drive, along with the diversity. They're both a pleasure to listen to. :laugh:
-
Not gonna lie, the BF1 menu music is pretty darn dramatic!
-
Not gonna lie, the BF1 menu music is pretty darn dramatic!
I'm saving my pennies for a computer that can handle BF1 and let me tell you, I'm too excited!
The soundtrack is phenomenal. When they used that song from Pan in the Single Player Trailer, I cried.
Another soundtrack that recent PSX news has reminded me of is The Last of Us (Part II coming - hype!!)

Currently have BF1 for Xbox however I'm looking into getting it for PC as well. I built my PC but it may be a bit to dated to handle the game..

This one makes me smile, so I set it as my ringtone ^.^

I love this theme from The Legend of Zelda: the Wind Waker
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUTi1Bfp6NQ
this song from the ending of Life is Strange is so emotional and great :cry:

I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely love the soundtrack of the Kingdom Hearts franchise by Yoko Shimomura. For so many years, I've been listening to numerous pieces by her throughout the series and can never get enough of it. "Darkness of the Unknown" and "Destati" are couple of my top favorite tracks in the games.
:laugh:
-
Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Has a pretty awesome soundtrack. It's changed up from some of the basic Zelda music, with most of it on a piano. They did a really good job of making it sound really good.
-
Tekken 7's OST is fuckin' amazing, but EVERY Tekken's OST (and in some cases, AST) have been fuckin' amazing!
-
Persona 5 is the best!
-
Persona 5 is the best!
Yeah, Persona 5 soundtrack's pretty neat !
But there are heaps of awesome, more epic tracks on Xenoblade Chronicles 2 score, which just came out !!
-
i like all soundtracks of all legends of zeldas,and all megaman x
-
At the top of my head...
- Medarot 4
- Oriental Blue
- Katamari Franchise
- Higurashi
- Chrono Trigger
- Bravely Default
- Undertale
- DDLC
- CivIII
-
Yes Chrono Trigger, very cool, but it's an old classic, not sure I was even born ... (the nineties right ?)
Recently, I'd say God of War !
And Everspace.
And Naruto Shinobi Striker (though the game itself ... meh :)
-
* Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie
* Donkey Kong 64
* Rayman series
* Harry Potter video games
* Minecraft
Minecraft and Banjo-Kazooie I can agree with you on. Donkey Kong 64 might have some leeway as it was made during the time composer Grant Kirkhope was composing exclusively for Rare, as BK was. Rayman I haven't enough experience with to form a subjective critique on, but Harry Potter I'm torn on. I don't much care for the music made specifically for the games, but when Travelers Tales were tasked with LEGO-ising it, they used the much more fantastical pieces written for the movies by people like John Williams. That's something I can always commend them for: using every resource from the original material possible for maximum authenticity.
-
The soundtrack to Persona 5 has to be the finest I've ever heard.
-
true, but ... more jazzy/groovy. Not EPIC as in Zelda or Chrono Trigger !
-
The radio stations from GTA 3, GTA Vice City and Katamari Damacy.
-
Final fantasy 7 and 10, Civilization series and Chrono Trigger are my favourite.
-
Katamari OST is my drug.
-
Someone brought up Persona 5 and it is near the top for me, it would be at the top if Atlus had gotten Lotus Juice back to do some of the songs.
-
bloodbornes soundtrack is very spicy
-
Doom Eternal sounds amazing already. I'm very excited :happy
https://youtu.be/99WBsOqSujc
-
The soundtrack to “Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture” is sublime.
-
My favorites are Hollow Knight, Celeste, any Zelda. I have a lot but those are the tops
-
Doom Eternal sounds amazing already. I'm very excited :happy
https://youtu.be/99WBsOqSujc
Great!! :like

I'm doing an Ultra-Violence difficulty run of Doom 2016 as prep and man I suck. :happy
-
Persona 5 boss music rocks
-
Beatmania IIDX tracks
-
Minecraft, it gives me chills sometimes. It's so nostalgic and beautiful. Very melancholic.
-
FEZ, FEZ, FEZ, did i mention FEZ?
though i think minecraft, undertale and most zelda games are worth mentioning too.
-
Beatmania IIDX tracks
We lived long enough to see the OG Rhythm game become the game for "GODS ONLY"...damn.
-
Kingdom Hearts is probably one of those games I like more for it's sound design, and less for it's actual narrative. Kind of been Square-Enix thing lately. Yoko Shimomura is pretty amazing at making music that's kind of bouncy/intense/sad/introspective
I do like Nobou Uematsu but since he left Final Fantasy it's hard for me to keep track of his recent works. That and Yasonuri Mitsuda. Dude's a legend inmho. Xenogear's soundtrack? Chrono Cross? Even Chrono Trigger was amazing at the time.
World of Warcraft has some pretty decent music in it too.. at least the later expansions. Don't have any names attached to it, but there's some pretty good stuff in there too.
-
Ezio's return from Assassins Creed was amazing. Its always an epic track.
-
Lately I’ve been really enjoying the destiny 2 soundtrack
-
Some one had started a thread on video game soundtracks on another form i use and it has been a really interesting thread so i thought id start it here.
The question is what is your favorite video game sound track?
My favorite over all soundtracks are mass effect, halo and final fantasy. Other good ones are skyrim, fallout new vegas and okami. I also own the soundtrack cds to tekken 5 and 6 and street fighter 4. I think these games have the perfect music for a beat em up. Resident evil is very good at using a subtle soundtrack and silence to create tension.
Music in videogames is more important to me than graphics. It sets the tone, adds to tension and makesset pieces feel more epic.
My favorite soundtrack for a video game was the Red Dead Redemption 2 soundtrack. The sound was so beautiful and set the mood just as much as the graphics and scenery did in each mission. Just listening to the music could tell you what the mission was gonna be like or the mood of the characters at this point or that an epic battle was coming up. The music would really get me into the zone when it came to some missions.

I've been filming Final Mix 1 since every Kingdom Hearts title dropped on Xbox Game Pass and ever since, I remembered why Yoko Shimomura's score was so memorable. As such, I'm glad Square Enix is finally getting together a rhythm game dedicated to her work on the series.
Ezio's return from Assassins Creed was amazing. Its always an epic track.
In regards to the music, the idea that Assassin's Creed died with Desmond has some semblance of truth. It would be too much to want Jesper Kyd to not leave the franchise knowing he works on others like Borderlands. Nevertheless, I did still enjoy what Lorne Balfe and Brian Tyler brought to the Kenway saga.
-
The Kingdom Hearts franchise has some of the best music in gaming and Final Fantasy XV has an incredible soundtrack too. Yoko makes good stuff

Yeah, Yoko Shimomura makes great music. I also like her work on Legends of Mana.
-
Doom 93's soundtrack. When I played doom first time, it left the soundtrack in my mind. Whenever I do something and am bored, good tracks of doom are supreme. Especially At Doom's gate (ofc :D), Kitchen ace and taking names (e1m4), and Hiding the Secrets (e1m9).

BFG Division though

the Final Fantasy Soundtrackts are so good!
-
SSBB haves the best video game song imo...even tho most of the songs are songs created for other games lol
-
Just caught my eye on this thread after siting a rather long topic about Final Fantasy 7 so guess what my answer will be :grin:
I actually enjoy orchestrated versions of classic games of this series (not only 7) and a few rock/metal covers too.
-
The Dark Souls trilogy have my favourite soundtracks, I love the music and how it's used in the games.
The Halo series also has good music, I prefer CE over 2 (at least, the remasters), because I think the music in CE is more fitting to the game
-
the Final Fantasy Soundtrackts are so good!
All I really know is FF VII, but it's enough for me to compare to the remake and say that Let The Battles Begin has been made so much more epic, it's become my jam.
SSBB haves the best video game song imo...even tho most of the songs are songs created for other games lol
I dare say Sakurai proved that with the reveal trailer for Sephiroth. After all, as soon as One-Winged Angel started playing, the internet squealed with joy and fear simultaneously

I like some of the ff7 and 8 orchestrated versions and a few rock/ metal covers. Go on YouTube snd search Ferdk final fantasy 9 battle theme. I think he also did the Jenova battle theme on 7
-
I recently beat borderlands 3 and I was surprised to continually find myself referencing YouTube to find the music. They did a great job on the score for that one!
-
Soundtracks are a big part of why I love fighting games lol. The tekken electronic music, the SF3 rap, the guilty gear rock and metal, its so diverse and ive never seen a fighting game with bad music.
-
this definitely isn't an unpopular opinion but undertale's soundtrack is fantastic. i think anyone who's interested in video game osts should listen to it, toby fox is a great composer. deltarune too, since it's the kinda-not really sequel to undertale
-
the Final Fantasy Soundtrackts are so good!
As much hate as it gets, the FF-XIII soundtrack will always stand out as one of the best ever to me. Prelude to FF-XIII paired with the opening cinematic is straight up beautiful. Not to mention the bangers like The Promise and The Sunleth Waterscape.
-
Red Alert 2 was epic

Tbf, it's a very well composed soundtrack.
Blasphemous has a great soundtrack too, never heard any other game with a soundtrack like it

Bro I will never not get on the verge of tears listening to Gwyn, Lord of Cinder and the Soul of Cinder them. That plin plin plon sends shockwaves through my core
-
The minecraft soundtrack is and will be forever one of the best out there and c418 definitely needs more credit for them.
Undertale soundtrack is so really good, and to think it was made by just one guy, so much talent
-
The soundtrack of Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West are just amazing. Truly a piece of art.
-
final duet - omori and oyasumi (?) - omori
OMORI IS AN AWESOME GAME
-
Xenoblade Chronicles probably has my favourite soundtrack of any game.
-
Hollow knights sound track is just *chefs kiss*
Celeste also gets a lot of praise for the creativity and advanced sound design for a platformer. It's deserved.
-
Tracks from the classic PlayStation game, Sledstorm. Please tell me I’m not the only one who remembers that 🫣
-
My favorite all time is Tekken 4. Very atmospheric and I enjoy every track from it.
I also recommend Guilty Gear Strive and One Piece Pirate Warriors 3!
-
I found that the most powerful soundtrack I've encountered this far is for God of War. Didn't play Ragnarok yet, and I'm avoiding any media of it for now, but that 2018 God of War soundtrack is amazing
-
I love Nintendo soundtracks, but the ones I love the most are Zelda games soundtracks

I had Saria's Song stuck in my head on-and-off for years and I never knew what it was until recently
-
while we're at it, try TUNIC. might just be lifeformed and janice kwan's masterpiece
-
GTA San Andreas or vice city
-
I love video game music! The music from the Bioshock series comes to mind, especially Bioshock: Infinite. Also, the music of the Kingdom Hearts series and, of course, the soundtrack of the entire The Legend of Zelda franchise.
