    OCR02527 - Bayonetta & After Burner III (Sega CD) "Lady in Black"

    in ReMix Reviews & Comments

    Posted

    It's odd to be posting a mix where I have a significant reservation that relates so directly to our standards; the obvious question would be, why didn't we just reject it on these grounds? Like I said, this is a subjective, roll-of-the-dice sort of issue where that could easily have happened, but at the same time we want artists to have freedom to follow their inspiration where it leads them. However, OCR is 110% a site for VGM arrangements, and we absolutely aim to protect the purity of that concept as much as possible. So we're posting this mix, and I personally dig it quite a bit, but we're simultaneously asking Mansoor and all other artists to please AVOID incorporating non-VGM sources. Hopefully this ReMix will serve as a further clarification of our policy while also making a lot of Bayonetta & Afterburner fans very happy :)

    I have to wholeheartedly disagree with the sentiment that it might have needed to be rejected.

    As someone who's played the game all the way through the music is a shining star. It is a top notch set of remixed music in its own right from the opening 'Fly me to the Moon' to the closing 'Lets Dance Boys' The saxaphone usage in this game's music is SIGNATURE and some of the best work i've ever heard for the instrument. To not use such a critical component of what drove the songs in this game would have been CRIMINAL. This is a great job of remixing the song. I'm hopeful though someone's gonna take a crack at one of the more iconic tracks.

    If this thread had been made two months ago. I would have put Mass Effect 3 in here

    HOWEVER. After Extended cut PLUS DLC 1. The ending actually made sense. You can still go on and on about the indoctrination theory but the fact of the matter is the storytelling isnt so JARRING your head explodes. And with that out of the way the ME trillogy is in the pantheon of gaming as the new standard.

    Now to get back on topic.

    FF13. FF11 FF14.

    I personally liked 12 for its setting the window of history view it takes with the character you start out with.

    Dragon Age 2 i didnt like personally.

    And no one's taken a swing at the 5k's. If i had it i'd do it. I know exactly what game i'd want you guys to take a real honest to god crack at...well two...no wait three. Yes three.

    1. Bayonetta: The Vocal Component i feel would be an incredible challenge..plus ideally i'd want to see Kate and Pixie in a duet. That soundtrack had some awesome original sound and some excellent updated Sega Themes

    2. Mass Effect 3: This soundtrack has one of the more...downtrodden tones to it. I dont feel it appropriate compared to the rest of the series. While the music was exceptional none of the themes in the OST (which i got from the collectors) Had the upbeat theme you had in one or two.

    3. I'd have to flip...welll something but Rift, STO, or DCUO. One of these three. I cant decide which would be my third choice. XD This has room to go still guys. We'll have to wait and see.

    @Jansu Doubt it, negotiations are a process. Which these clearly were by the time it took. They were handled relatively quickly but kickstarter put a wrench in the whole thing. Several concessions were made by OCR for the ability to put these on physical copy.

    No doubt OCR wanted the lowest rate it could get. In which case SE said we need you to do this, this, and this. After some haggling OCR agreed. What it probably equates to is a flat rate per unit. At the base of 35k Probably (your 11k number/2000) equates to 5.62 dollars per unit. I cant see OCR agreeing to such a punative cost (that percentage royalty) for a hard copy production. They could have gone pure digital and been 'fuck SE' SE could have gone pure legal in that circumstance but this place has been around a long time and SE's known about it AWHILE Plus the list of people now remixing on this website has become a bit of a whos who in the VG music world. It would be a very ugly battle. This was settled fast and amicably.

    If more copies are required it'll probably be at that 5.62 rate. Any real excess i believe is gonna probably going to website support :)

    Ok i'm straight up stuck, I've hit the missile silo i'm in the series of rooms where if you trip the explosives you die and take out everything within 500029834918247 miles. The first set is placed too low to climb under and too high to jump over. Is there a way around i dont know about?

    I'll have to correct you on this.

    Bayonetta 2 would NOT exist AT ALL if it weren't for Nintendo; everyone else passed on it.

    Which totally blows my mind. They created a legendary character and controversy aside (of which there was considerable). The game was very fun and very solid in control.

    The fact of the matter is this: Affording a new console isnt exactly easy for me right now. And probably a lot of people on here. I am VERY upset with Sega now that this is confirmed. I am not a console loyalist by any standard. I've owned damn near all of them outside this current generation and if i had had the money to do it right I'd have a PS3 and Wii. But the fact that its an exclusive to Wii U is a mistake imo. A lot of people have been waiting on a sequel. And were expecting a 360 or PS3 i believe. The Wii U was an interesting thing for me to begin with. This is a HUGE coup for the Wii. But i did not believe Nintendo would be able to pull this trigger.

    I know the reasons behind it and i can only hope it doesn't corrupt a very good formula.

    So... about Metal Gear Solid

    I loved MGS2 on the PS2, didn't finish MGS3, or MGS4 (yet).

    Revengeance looks good. >:]

    And it could be dead...There was a catastrophic development in terms of the console wars.

    The guys who are doing MGR have well.. yeah. I dont know what the hell is going on with Sega right now but based off what i saw on joystiq.com Bayonetta 2 is going to be a WII U EXCLUSIVE! Which means either MGR is either in its final stages and they're getting back to Bayonetta or they've canned the project entirely. Hopefully someone has recent news on this because if the Bayonetta 2 thing is real i cant see platnum games being happy and especially Team Little Angel.

    The greenlight addition happened very late into the process. The approval came up either just as or barely before the intended launch date. I found it very easy to install and have found it very fun to play. :)
