What current game has a memorable soundtrack? (lemmy.world)

Basically this. I have just realized that as a guy whos teens where in the 00's, my musical ear has been groomed by awesome videogames with great soundtracks, like Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Gran Turismo, later Need For Speed and some FIFA. But what's the equivalent in today's time?

I've bought a FIFA and a NFS recently, but the soundtracks are... OK-ish, I guess? I enjoyed the some Rocket League's season, though.

Metal Gear Solid games have a very memorable soundtrack. People keep memeing on Rising OST, but sleep on the other games OST.

Maybe this is just the company I keep, but I feel like snake eater is the most meme'd MGS song

Snake Eater is probably the sole exception. The Best is Yet to Come, Can't Say Goodbye to Yesterday and Heavens Divide are usually ignored.

I'll have to revisit those, also what're your favorite MGRR tracks? I was sorta taken a back by your original posting, because I encounter people riffing on snake eater fairly regularly, but atleast don't notice MGR coming up hardly ever in that way.

I am my own master now I think it is my favorite, but it is not by much. MGRR track is really good.

Snake Eater is just the ladder meme keeping it alive, funny that part uses the vocals only version unlike the memes.

There is also the main them from MGS1-3 that is legendary that probably we won't hear again because of the plagiarism controversy.

Tight, I'll check that out sometime tonight.

I unironically like snake eater lol. Helps that mgs3 is my favorite by far

Snake Eater is unironically the best James Bond theme. Is an amazing piece. Is just that people outside the MGS fans only know it as the ladder meme song.

I went and listened to your recs and they didn't hit amazing for me, I think its probably because it was out of context from the games. I think I'll pick up the compilation that just announced for switch and replay 1-3 this fall, so I'll get to give them a shot in context then!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I totally recommend that. Those themes fit their respective games mood for the ending really well.

Also the games are really fucking good. The continuous evolution between games is really impressive and they are the top when it comes to stealth.

It's a real shame that they had that (potential) legal issue with the original music for MGS 1-3.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, always wondered why they stopped using the main them in MGS4 onwards and discovered that recently. What a shame.
