65daysofstatic doing the soundtrack to No Man's Sky was pretty dope.

Spyro trilogy. It was composed by Stewart Copeland, the drummer for The Police

oh i'm aware, the end theme from The Amanda Show was actually the same music as Wizard's Peak.

anyways I was referring more to games with soundtracks featuring licensed music.

I have several favorites and really can’t choose any one of them over the others. They are:

  • Xenogears

  • Lost Odyssey

  • Final Fantasy 7

Loved the music in Fifa 07. With muse - super massive black hole and Keane - nothing in my way as most popular songs I think.

Nintendo game soundtracks are licensed. You mean songs that were not originally made for a game.

pspartoutsr OP t1_j92orcr wrote

My original post was specifically talking about music licensed specifically for a game, not music composed for a game, i've never once heard of original video game compositions refereed to as licensed music.

They hire composers and the music is Nintendo licensed, you get copyright notice using song/sample/instrument version. I'm a musician and Nintendo sheet music is very popular

pspartoutsr OP t1_j92vajj wrote

I guess I see your logic, I should've specifically said licensed SONGS in the original post to be more clear.

All good, I play more soundtracks than videogames, Vice City and GTA V also my favorites

pspartoutsr OP t1_j93sxv0 wrote

my favorite composed soundtrack would probably be Dying Light, very John Carpenter-esque.

The soundtracks to Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill 2, instant classics for me to this day. For licensed music I would have to go with the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series, opened my ears to a ton of artists that I still love and play for my kids.

Thank you kind sir. II and III have spectacular tracks littered throughout.

If we talking original composition then it's Undertale. It's frequent use of leitmotifs retells the story so easily. Filled to the brim with feelings. Considering it was written by Toby Fox himself who went on to write some songs for Nintendo

Haha, nice. The PS roadrash from the same era had all the same songs, except several more though.

Donkey Kong Country 2, classic.

Wipeout XL - It's from when games first started having true soundtracks. It's going back further than all but maybe 1 of the current replies, but it was so solid.

NoSplit4185 t1_j90iltl wrote

Maybe Streetfighter II or Revenge of Shinobi. Or super castlevania IV.

(Gta Vice City).

Streets of Rage 2

yamamanama t1_j9219k4 wrote

Odyssey: The Legend of Nemesis if that counts. If they had to get permission from the Kabalevsky, Rachmaninov, and Prokofiev estates, anyway.

Hands-down, absolutely and without any hesitation whatsoever is Betrayal at Krondor's soundtrack. It's majestically epic, and isn't just a great tune or two, but has a *minimum* of 20 fantastic spellbinding tracks, and lots of variations on a couple of the main theme tracks. Unapparelled.

In a distant, distaaaaant second and third would come Castlevania Symphony of the Night and THPSII. Megaman II and III also had great soundtracks. Fallout New Vegas has a very moody, memorable soundtrack as well.
Ocarina of Time has an obviously fantastic soundtrack as well, as does Chronotrigger.

The Persona series and Nier Automata

Hollow knight, but don't listen to it before playing.

Due-Preparation5104 t1_j92qx3w wrote

Definitely GTA V. I've been playing a lot of GTA IV lately and aside from a few songs, the licensed music just doesn't hit the same way. GTA V's radios are perfect.

Persona 5 is my personal fav and nothing comes even close, Skyrim hkwever is a good runner up. Third would be Killer Instinct (Xbox One)
