Jantha Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I always thought it would be fun to write music for video games. Anyone have any favorites? I always liked this one from Quake II. I find myself humming it quite often for some reason. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6VpX-feA2M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantha Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 BTW.. what made me think of this was listening to Shred's clip in another post. Good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artie Owl Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Jantha, if you're into that kind of thing I highly, highly recommend Tommy Tallarico's Video Games Live (VGL). He does symphonic arrangements of popular and well done game music. I wish I could see a show but none have come to Canada other than maybe Toronto :( Here, enjoy; Here's the website; http://www.videogameslive.com/index.php?s=home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shnate McDuanus Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 My favorite soundtrack to any video game is the classic title Megaman 2 on NES. However, I have to admit that I'm more familiar with horror movie soundtracks. My favorite out of those is the one from the 1979 cult schlock-fest Phantasm. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FcLNvachwk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artie Owl Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I would love to do it, but I fear I couldn't bring sometihng together as well as these guys. Aside from Nintendo's music department, there's a guy named Yasonuri Mitsuda (I think that's how it's spelled) who did the music to Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, I LOVE that sound track. Just search for any of his stuff guaranteed awesome. That and a local band here, called Nerd Army, I think they have some youtube stuff, and they've even done some Meganman and Contra Stuff. (I'm big into video games lol) HALO REACH! Less than 7 days now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artie Owl Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Thats sweet, im getting lengndary just because its the last halo game from bungie. To be fair, that's what Bungie said about 3, Microsoft was very intent on Bungie producing another one, me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but mind you Bungie did leave microsoft and is a lone gaming company now. They might make the next halo, who knows. I hope they do since we still dont know what really happend to Cheif.

Artie Owl Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I think I can help you there too. Bungie made a game a long time ago called "Marathon". It included a main character who was called the "security Officer" who was a Cyborg (possibly John, Spartan 117), with an A.I construct in his head (possibly Cortana). He explored an unknown mechanical planet and was basically a super soldier. Anyway, at the end of Halo 3, if you beat it on Legendary, you see the severed half of the Frigate that got cut in half in the hyper-space window they used to escape. Cortana puts chief in the stasis chamber and tells him she'll call on him when he needs him. Then they zoom out and you see this large mechanical looking planet in the distance and the severed ship floating towards it. We're not sure but that might be Bungie's games coming full circle. Reach won't tell us anything tbecause it takes place before the events of the first Halo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artie Owl Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Oh to be talented.. I'll stick to playing them for now, though doing the music for one or producing would be a blast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
