Capcom & OverClocked ReMix Make Video Game Soundtrack History
Capcom & OverClocked ReMix Make Video Game Soundtrack History
By: David W. Lloyd, press@ocremix.org November 27, 2008 Fairfax, VA -- OverClocked ReMix today released for free download its official soundtrack to Capcom's Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix game for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game consoles. While video game companies have worked with fans in the past, HD Remix is the first major video game with a completely fan-made soundtrack. More than twenty gamers from around the world contributed remixes of the original Street Fighter games' music for inclusion in the updated game, in styles including jazz, hip-hop, reggaeton, spaghetti western, garage rock, big beat and electronica. The official soundtrack is available for download free of charge at http://www.ocremix.org/hdremix/. Over 2 million visitors a year download OverClocked ReMix's free, fan-made arrangements of music from both classic and modern video games, but HD Remix marks the community's first contribution to an official commercial title. Both the game and its soundtrack have received critical acclaim, with IGN's Ryan Clements describing the music as "a great tribute to the original soundtrack" and Tyler Nagata of GamesRadar writing that "Unlike so many remakes of classic fighters, Turbo HD has soul... You can hear it in the new remixed soundtrack, developed with the help of fans from OverClocked ReMix." OverClocked ReMix was approached by Capcom in June of 2007 to provide HD Remix's score after the company discovered the OC ReMix Street Fighter II remix album, Blood on the Asphalt. Rey Jimenez, Associate Producer for Capcom, worked directly with the fan community to communicate requirements and feedback."Working with the OC ReMix crew has been one of the most rewarding aspects of working on SF HD Remix, truly making the game a community effort. These guys are part of the meat and potatoes of what makes the Street Fighter fanbase such a lasting part of the gaming industry," said Jimenez. "They worked above and beyond our expectations and I’m hoping that we’ll be able to work together in the future." About OverClocked ReMix Founded in 1999, OverClocked ReMix is an organization dedicated to the appreciation, preservation, and interpretation of video game music. Its primary focus is www.ocremix.org, a website featuring hundreds of free fan arrangements, information on game music and composers, resources for aspiring artists, and a thriving community of video game music fans.

This is certainly a far cry from the site as I came to it in 2001.
Well done all.

Wow, congrats on a job well done guys!! Haven't gotten a chance to play the game yet but I have to say I love the work you did with the soundtrack... SFII is one of my all time faves, and the soundtrack is one that will be part of me forever. You did it justice and that much more. Hope this extra exposure is as good for you guys as I think it will be!
Now where's a Nice Work Guy when you need him?

Wow! this is really awesome news, and I'm listening to the album now :)
Interestingly enough, I just finished making an AMV with the one of the street fighter anime movies [here], which is also made by Capcom; so this might be one step closer to industry collaboration on *any* type of remix. PS. I'm totally making an amv with one of these songs, probably using the Street Fighter Alpha: The Movie.

The soundtrack is honestly the only reason I downloaded the game.
Although the game is lots of fun, too. OC ReMix has certainly grown up... and it's a site/sight to behold.

Cannot wait to listen to this and play the game.
This is truly a great day for OC Remix.
Been a fan of this site for YEARS, but I do have a question: In Super Smash Bros Brawl I thought I heard the Snappleman Thrash The Plank Remix for Donkey Kong....?
