Epic Video Game Music

I like dramatic climaxes.

In music, you perverts!

Funny how literally the first thing that came to mind when I saw the thread title was "there's gotta be some Ace Combat music in there", only to find out it was indeed the most recent post, lol.

 

I'll just go ahead and post two of my favorites:

 

 

 

This last one was actually added past the game's deadline, because they "wanted to give people goosebumps and make them cry" with a proper song, and once it was done they also decided to tweak the dialogue and the mission flow so it would go in sync with the music for greater effect. Oooh boy, did they succeed.

[ToJKa]

Indeed they did.

Assault Horizon was a pretty crappy AC game, but they did nail the music, including the epic final one in that too:

 

[Doctor Cadaver]

ULTRAAAAA COMBOOOOOO!!!!!

Damn earworms

You know a japanese is about to get serious when the singing is in latin 😛

[Doctor Cadaver]

Impressive jazz covers of gaming classics.

The Persona 5 cover for "Life Will Change" was my favorite.

[ToJKa]

Don't care much about the game, i was always more into Wipeout, but the music kicked ass Don't know where this popped into my mind.

EDIT: Well Square-Enix is going after FF7 soundtrack with a vengeance, so the musics linked were Fires of Resistance idle and battle, and the full Airbuster boss music.

 

They really nailed the music in FF7 remake. This was the one that made the biggest impression. Might've been because of the setting, though.

Also, couldn't someone just make an infinite loop of 5:03 - 5:50 part 😛

yeah, it's been a year already, but they need 25 year to finally put 'the theme song' into their game.

Because they didn't make it; The Lords of Acid (aka Immortals) did.

 

It also took four djs to remake it.

Unleash the Masamune...

 

[AshleySOAD]

I just can't get enough of doom 2016's soundtrack...

[ToJKa]

It works. But this is so much better.

 

[Doctor Cadaver]

Just beaten Persona 5 Royal for the first time while ending up with the true ending.  This is one of the endgame tracks.

 

[Umbra Nensei]

Dragon Age Inquisition: Trespasser OST. Goosebumps every time.

One benefit of having no licensed music: you can make the lyrics relate to the story and underlying themes

 

 

Damn Resist and Disorder has been playing in my head for weeks. Yes, i get it. Everything burns.

[ToJKa]

And now for something creepy yet awesome.

Love listening this on the scene with people standing on rooftops looking at the tower and jumping off one by one.

I've more partial to The Rebel Path but otherwise, I agree on not burdening the soundtrack with pre-packaged pop that does not fit it any more than any other Hollywood blockbuster, Romantic comedy or afternoon drama show.

Also, all of this tickles my eardrums in a quite pleasant matter. Especially Hollows, Skybound and Fath0m

Seen some really good ones in here, but a little surprised no one has mentioned:

 

 

Seriously.  If you can't find some music in this you love, well.. you just don't like metal.  Period.  xD

 

The above are the 20 songs actually composed FOR the game, but there's also over 100 unlockable ones, and they span from the dawn of metal up to the game's release, so something for old and new fans alike.

 

Really, this is one of those games you can (mostly) ignore the game/story if you want (though it's fun too, with lots of good cameos from various metal icons) and just drive around like a lunatic unlocking songs and whatnot and running over everything you see.

 

Not gonna post links since I'm sure most/all have already been mentioned, but obvious choices here would also be most of the Final Fantasy games, many of the Castlevania series, and Mass Effect.

Hey.. I never said EVERY song was awesome or amazing.  Though the beginning is good, I can *completely* relate to Jack's expression once the intro ends.  Been there SO many times.
