Do Memorable Video Game Soundtracks Still Exist?

One of the great things about retro games is the music. For the most part, older games had extremely catchy tunes that would be hard to get out of your head. The fact that symphonies now play old school video game music at their concerts illustrates how timeless these pieces are. Can we say the same thing about modern day video game music? Will this music be remembered as fondly in 20 years?

Old game music was so much better. Today's music is crap.

Zeixama4265d ago

Yeah. We are living after-history. Enjoy Deus Ex: HR soundtrack.

Capt-FuzzyPants4265d ago

Deus Ex had a pretty good soundtrack, but there wasn't a lot of vaiety in the songs. And there was only like 1 or 2 good songs. Games like FF, Chrono Trigger, and KH have a lot of good memorable songs that will stir up emotions and remind you of a specific event in the game.

There's plenty of more recent games that had brilliant OSTs...

- Braid( http://www.youtube.com/watc...

I could go on for ages...

From this year, I'd say Journey. This generation, the best soundtrack I've heard belonged to Nier.

Relientk774265d ago

Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword, had a great soundtrack. So, yes

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5063d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905063d ago (Edited 5063d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5063d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5063d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495063d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5063d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5063d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
