OnlySP: The hills are alive with the sound of music over here at OnlySP. We’ve decided to focus this week’s Discussion Points on Video Games Music and how important it is to us as gamers. Joining the discussion are Connor Sears, Matt Bianucci, Eoin Harnett and myself. Let’s get started!
Rockstar Games’ shiny new Red Dead Redemption port is now on GTA+, and you can play it while claiming some tasty GTA Online benefits.
Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime
One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.
"Dark Souls: Archthrones is like playing a brand new FromSoftware game, and that speaks volumes about just how much good modding can do," says Hanzala from eXputer.
Parrying has been creeping into more games, with almost every high-profile title of the last few years featuring it in some way. Why?
i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)
I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.
The music is almost as important as the acting. TLOU's guitar music is a great example of how music can help a scene to become more memorable. On the other side, I'm still upset at the choice of music for GTA V
For me the music can make or break a story. Like films, the score is so important as setting the mood and what message they want to portray that is shouldn't be over looked. Some games get the score just right but I do feel it isn't seen as important as it should be in games.
Music and sounds effects set the atmosphere and can make all the difference.
Imagine a GT game without dat jazz music
Music is not as important (to me anyway) as great sound effect and perfect directional sound, ambiance is key.
Real life does not have a sound track while i agree that good music background noise can be effective ( think Hollywood ) I would rather have realistic over dramatic.
