Game Music on your iPod

[y8c616]

I prefer Harry Gregson-Williams' work on mgs 2 3 and 4 to the halo sound tracks, which i feel use the same theme almost to a point where is gets monotonous. Even so, its still quality music, with great orchestrstion

I agree with that to no end, though I still have the original and mjolnir mix with me. Music that seems out-of-place always makes me smile. One of the reasons I loved Bioshock was how it used music to lull you into a false sense of security via intrigue, and then BAM! Big Daddy.

I've got songs from LittleBigPlanet, GTA IV, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, WoW, Ratchet and Clank Future, Starfox Adventures, Starfox: Assault, Starfox: Command, SSBM, SSBB, Earthbound, Portal, Gears of War, Mirror's Edge, Super Mario Galaxy, Halo 3, Twilight Princess, Final Fantasy VII and X, Okami, Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, Shadow of the Colossus, Sonic Advance 2 and 3, Sonic Mega Collection, Katamari Damacy, Resident Evil: Outbreak, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and Neverwinter Nights 2 on my iPod.

Yeah, I really like OSTs.

A man after my own heart.

Yeah the early 50's jazz stuff in bioshock place you in the era effectively, but as soon as you've got a houdini splicer (or a big daddy as you pointed out)on your ass, its certainly an interesting juxtaposition

I have some music from the Gothic series on my iPod, really freaking amazing music in those games. And so recognisable. WoW's music is also great... that reminds me, I should fine some of that now...

 

[KissofKetchup]

Many a game have I gone out and searched on the web for the music for a game. Midnight Club: Dub Edition got me hooked on Detroit techno. FIFA World Cup 2006 got me hooked on the remixes that Jacques Lu Cont does. I played the soundtrack from that game on the PSP like an iPod. GTA IV got me hooked on the Greenskeepers. I almost shudder when I think of what my music collection would be like if it weren't for video games.

 

[MagnetoHydroDynamics]

I listen to VALVe's HL2 soundtacks alot. They feel... "Dusty orange"...

 

[smithy1234]

I've put on some remixed mario and sonic music on my iPod to make me feel like I'm in a video game.

 

[D_987]

...or other MP3 Player.

NO! I had a huge speech all lined up about generalizing people!

On topic, I have The Orange box OST, "Still Alive", (the Mirrors Edge theme) and the original Fable's soundtrack.

 

[GloatingSwine]

I currently have the Ace Combat 5 & 6 soundtracks, the Lunar 1 & 2 soundtracks, the Jet Set Radio soundtrack, some of the Sonic Rush soundtrack, the Metal Gear Solid soundtrack, the Beyond Good & Evil soundtrack, and the Rez soundtrack on my ipod.

 

[DirkGently]

I have some Metal Gear music and a lot of Halo music on my iPod...what?! It's good music.

True, both games have great sound tracks. I prefer Harry Gregson-Williams' work on mgs 2 3 and 4 to the halo sound tracks, which i feel use the same theme almost to a point where is gets monotonous. Even so, its still quality music, with great orchestrstion

Yeah, O'Donnell tends to use the same themes in his music. He's even gotten confused over it before.

I have "Snake Eater" on my iPod, as well as the Halo: CE soundtrack. The Bioshock one as well, and the GNR playlist from Fallout 3. Some songs from various GTA's and Saint's Row 1 & 2.

 

[Anton P. Nym]

I think my Zune is half-full of game music; all five albums of the Halo series (Halo 1, Halo 2, Halo 2 vol. 2, and the 2-volume Halo 3 set), the freebies from Bioshock, the Mass Effect soundtrack, and about an hour's worth of miscellaneous titles from OCRemix.

Yes, I'm a geek.

[Rath709]

The Quake II soundtrack.

 

[Ophiuchus]

I have the full Final Fantasy 8 and 9 soundtracks on my iPod. Also some old Commodore 64 things. Best of all, I bought 'Downstream' by Shira Kammen (otherwise known as the background music from world 2 on Braid) from iTunes and it's pretty much the perfect thing to help relax after a stressful day.

 

[Villainova]

Have both the 'Halo 2' soundtracks, several selections from 'Metroid,' almost a complete compilement of the 'Super Smash Bros. Brawl' music, 'Command & Conquer: Red Alert' one and two, and a few songs from 'Loco Roco.' There might be some other stuff running around my hard drive that I forgot, but that's what I can remember.

 

[Theo Samaritan]

have piles of remix stuff from the Overclock Remix Project [http://www.ocremix.org].

How did I forget I have like a GB of that stuff.

Only a GB? The official torrent had 5GB of it. It is awesome.


I found some versions in FLAC to \o/

As for my MP3, it plays SID files, so I have a fair whack of old SID stuff. Before you ask, its a phone running on windows mobile, so its running a modded version of Winamp with the sidplay plugin.

I also have Machinae Supremacy, Pendulum, Chicane and Blue Man Group.

 

[CoverYourHead]

I have the Mass Effect soundtrack, some of the stuff is really mellow and I listen to it while I work, reduces a lot of stress.

 

[NinjaSkills]

Devils Never Cry and Taste the Blood from DMC3

 

[Virgil]

Are there any game tracks (including ambience) you enjoy listening to out-of-game, or are there any games that have music that truly seem like they weren't in a game, but a movie or similar.

Here are my two favorites. They're in my regular mix on my Zune. I played the first one at my wedding

The Black Mages - Matoya's Cave [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FE3x-XudNo]

The OneUps - ToeJam Jammin' [http://www.imeem.com/people/IXh0dgb//music/nRlwjYLt/the_oneups_toejam_earl_toejam_jammin/]

 

[Kuropan]

i have the entire Final Fantasy VII soundtrack (including the piano tracks and 'reunion tracks') on my iPod, as well as a bunch of stuff from FFVI and FFXII...

there's also the Persona 4 OST, pieces from Kingdom Hearts/KH2, the Metal Gear Solid 4 OST, and gobs of stuff from OCRemix.

i have a lot of anime music on here too...

 

[vampyricvoid]

Let's see....
Neverwinter Nights and Neverwinter Nights II (Best RPG series)
Guild Wars/ Jeremy Soule (All of them, although Eye of the North soundtrack is best) (Best RPG music)
Many songs from the VRock station of GTA: Vice City (gotta love the classics)
Ryashon's guitar version of the Mortal Kombat theme
Lord of the Rings music (also deals with the games)
And finally,
Fall from Heaven II (Greatest strategy game/mod EVER)
Yea...
Awesome

[Asymptote Angel]

I have a couple of songs from DDR on mine. It's quite fun to blast them while I drive past pedestrians after it gets dark.
