Didn't notice the music being any good, in fact I hated the boss battle music, but I got bored of the game so didn't get to hear too many tunes. I do recall a tune in the demo being quite catchy though. I suppose in Uematsu we trust, eh? He's bound to do a good soundtrack.Mod74 wrote:My standard answer here was always Blue Dragon...
From composer Hitoshi Sakimoto (Final Fantasy XII, Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy Tactics), experience the orchestrated melodies of the main themes [and] the adrenaline-pumping battle pieces.

Im biased because Soul Reaver is up there in my top ten games of all time but it was amazing. An open world with no loading and some very inventive gameplay elements. *like the warping to the spirit world, in combat having to impale vampires to kill etc*Moot_Geeza wrote:Definitely a game I regret not playing.

There’s several big gambles at the movies this Summer, but arguably none is bigger than Luc Besson’s independently funded sci-fi comic adaptation “Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets”.
Boasting a massive price tag of $210 million U.S. dollars, it would appear on the surface that Besson has staked the future of his EuropaCorp studio on the movie. However, in a new interview with Screen, Besson reveals that the film has already paid for itself and the economic risks involved are minimal:
“Like every film company, we will only greenlight a project if at least 80% of its budget is covered. With ‘Valerian,’ we’ve covered 96% of the budget with pre-sales. The risk to EuropaCorp is 4% of the budget so there’s no actual financial risk. The risk for the company is more one of notoriety. If the film is a big flop, we’ll lose credibility for making these sorts of films. The risk is not financial, but rather human.”
As one of the few original tentpole features opening this Summer, the movie does stand a better chance than expected domestically considering how U.S. domestic audiences are obviously engulfed in franchise fatigue and are staying away in droves this season.
How the reviews for the film play out though will have an impact. “Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets” opens on July 21st.

Me neither. Some of that is pretty blatant, though. I suppose it depends on awareness. I once thought I’d come up with an amazing little rhyme, until I realised it was Ogden Nash, and my brain was serving up something I didn’t consciously remember reading at the moment of inspiration.hunk wrote:Personally, I don't mind musicians lifting motifs from other works as long as it isn't too obvious and blatant.

It's alright, but it's no Shenmue.Dinostar77 wrote:Spotify decided to play me the Halo Soundtrack. I dont think there is a better soundtrack specifically written for a game than the halo ones. Mass Effect has some great soundtracks, but halo is next level of awesomeness.
hylian_elf wrote:Yep. SotC is an all-timer.
I currently love listening to Into The Breach.
Was listening to FFXIII yesterday. Dust to Dust is so beautiful, so haunting. It plays during one of my favourite ever gaming moments in an otherwise decent enough game (fuck the haters).
