Oh we had a thread about this issue a while back.
Oh sh-.
I think we settled that regardless of her presence, so long as the game is awesome we don't give a shit about her. Some saying she's about as out of place as a nerdy white guy at some DMX concert. (not sure of the exact wording.)
LOL. And yeah, i agree about the first thing. So... let's hope it is good.
EDIT :
Blasphemy and arse.The "modernization" of the series (and in particular it's music) is what killed FFX-2. Trying to expand your fanbase by kicking it in the face is not going to work.
FF X-2 was an attemp to turn the drama of FF X into a 12-year-old-girl fashion show. I think the most common fan reaction to that game was "WTF?"

[source : Wikipedia]
On November 13, 2009, it was announced that the song "My Hands," from British singer Leona Lewis' second album Echo, was chosen to replace Final Fantasy XIII's original theme song, "Kimi Ga Iru Kara," by Sayuri Sugawara for the game's North American and European release.

(FF XIII - International Trailer)
I'm pretty sure there has been a lot of debate among fans (among which I consider myself). Not only I will miss an oriental-flavored theme song (like FF X's powerful "Suteki Da Ne" or FF IV's emotive "Theme of Love"), but also I can't help but think "Geez', that tune is so out of place here". For me, this is an 80's-like commercial strategy, where Square-Enix tries to increase their product's appeal to the Western public reducing the japanese-culture-presence. Ironically, occidental gamers hooked to japanese games tend to like that. In my opinion, removing the original theme song cuts down the appeal, and not the other way around.
What are your thoughts about this?

I got a pm from john about that, I suggested for people to have something for a months time but I haven't heard anything from him.
It's something that we are thinking about though.
I'm sorry I get absent too often
. I didn't really expect to have so much work this academic year. LEVEL 99 : About the deadline, we were thinking about march, though nothing's been decided already. Does it sound reasonable?
-
dude i'm so sorry! i'll stop mixing now. lame originality is seriously an issue on the internet - i just want to hear the same shit that's been around for eight hundred years...none of these non-fitting chords.
now get off my porch.
That was epic.
This has been nagging at me for a while now, so I might as well throw this one out there: is Prometheus' track at all inspired by Daft Punk's "Digital Love" from the Discovery album? ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVP7N9_Q6hs ) I can see a stylistic similarity between the two tracks, not to mention the title, and the resemblance in the opening sweeps followed by the bass and drum line...Perhaps I'm reading a bit too far into it, but it'd be interesting if anyone else had spotted this.
In any case, it's a fantastic track on a fantastic album
Yup, that was the inspiration behind it, but somehow ended up pretty differently. Next time I'll get myself an effin' vocoder!

I think District 9 was the best action movie of the year, regardless of its origins.
Agreed.
Also District 9 is better than a Halo movie would have ever been.
You're probably right. Video-game-franchise based movies tend to be terrible. I can't recall any good one. LOL

Which are the most underrated videogame soundtracks?
Here are my picks:
One Must Fall 2097
Easy combos made this game suitable even for 2d-fighting-games-suckers like me. A techno soundtrack that really "worked" was something weird back in mid 90's, so if you like that old techno flavour, this is for you.
Jazz Jackrabbit
It was fun trying to jump on turtles and realizing jumps don't do shit. LOL. The soundtrack featured good synthesizers: the sound was (and still is) great .The soundtrack is out there on youtube.
Alpha Waves (a.k.a. Continuum)
Probably one of the earliest 3d games, and a really hard one!. I remember playing this one only for the music... mostly because i sucked at it!.
Persona (series)
Haven't seen too much remix-community love about this game, despite being a really famous title. Not much to say that hasn't been said already.
Cold Dreams
http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/24484/Cold+Dreams.html
A rather unknow title which features an astounding soundtrack. I couldn't find any youtube videos, so there's a link for you to download it in case you're curious(you'll need a dos emulator).
Sky Roads
An old gem, featuring a very distinct and innovative gameplay style: You must race through different "roads" in space, avoiding obstacle, in a 3rd person perspective, and using real 3d for the backgrounds (so i'm not talking about mode 7).
The soundtrack is brilliant, so be sure to check it out.
And that's all for now!. I'm curious to hear your picks.

You have to WIP it!
WIP IT GOOD!
...
Yeah, sorry.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Sorry guys, 3 projects is enough responsibility.
No problem man!. Still, if you can deliver a wip somewhere in the future, there will be no problem to have your track in (of course.. if you finish it before the album release
). -
First post updated!

BEST COVER ART EVER.
On the album: awesome music, I really enjoyed ALL tracks. Level 99, Prophet of Mephisto, Avaris, CHIPP , Vampire Hunter Dan,... everything was awesome. My personal favorite is Smooth Criminals, by The Vagrance. Absolutely ass kickin'.
Oh, and awesome video too! José the Bronx Rican did a fantastic job here.
BTW: Yeah, Im Prometheus and John Revoredo
. Prometheus id was used because "Cybernetic Love" was a really old mix, and i don't like old stuff mixed with new stuff LOL. Also, Prometheus was my old name around OCremix. -
Quoting the first response to the thread
this project is going to fail, fucking horribly.you have NO cred.
NO star power.
you have numbers in your name
you don't have any proven remixing skill.
this is destined to fail...
Pi whatev's is working because of an amazing concept.
you should post on the forums more, get a reputation before you go starting a full-scale project like this.
srsly.
EPIC FAIL
It's amazing how far this has gone, im really glad to see see the project's done! (...or almost)
-
i gotta finish my goddamned tracked... My condenser mic won't arrive till the next month
-
3 tracks done!
-
i'd like to contribute, but i have already too much stuff to do, so maybe i'll get back at you later in the future.
-
Thanks man, I should have a WiP within the next week or so
Nice!!! Can't wait to hear it!
BTW, register at the forums, so i can allow you to check the wip forum.

Looks like we're going to be getting the final wav for Neko's mix first in the final countdown!
Get those mixes in!
Somebody just said.. THE FINAL COUNTDOWN?
HELL YEAH!
-
Mazedude's been around here for years, I remember having his music burn on CD's back when I was 12 years old. I've always liked his stuff, and this piece is a very good example of his art. I really like the sound design and the atmosphere Mazedude developed here. On the other side, the mix sounds too simplistic and repetitive at times. But don't get me wrong, this is a fantastic piece to listen to, be sure to check it out!
-
EHrm... THis doesn't look right. HOw can a WIP be FInished? DOesn't that make it a non-WIP? JUst asking. TOtally not trying to point out any errors.
Oh and who is this "TheVargrance"? ANy relation to "The Vagrance"?
Everybody get your tracks going, this is a project I'm thinking could be done fast. ...unlike certain other projects, for which you should also get your tracks done. If you're on that project.
Finished wip means the track itself is finished, but it's still open to changes until the end of the project.
I'll PM you
EDIT: Rozo, all the randomness was corrected. Thanks for pointing out
-
Would that mean bonus tracks are a possibility as well?
Yeah! That was the idea.
Let's hope it works.BTW, Demonstray, I marked Neutral Area as yours.
-
I'mma start working on a Neutral Area WiP as soon as I can re-establish my BadAss project WiP. Expect it soon, but not too soon; I like to be lazy. ^__^
That sounds great. Want me to mark it as claimed?
-
I need to work on my wip .. damn.. So much stuff to do.
-
wow.. this has sunk sooooo bad to the bottom of the forum.
-
Teal?? I had never heard of that color before. Damn... the world is evolving so fast nowadays.. so many new colors i don't know the name of.
Listening to the music, this sounds really interesting. Maybe at some time in the future i might contribute (I still have to do like 6 remixes....).
-
Gears of War I, and II. OMG THOSE GAMES B/C ITS TEH BEST GAME EVAR!!1!!1!, and I really like them.
The gameplay is something fresh and new in the shooter genre, and it's probably the closest thing to a paintball match.
-
Where? Are you going to PM us with the forum info?
well, there's nothing too complicated about it.

Leona Lewis in FF XIII OST? What do you think?

Maybe paying her to sing a new song is *sarcasm* WAY TOO EXPENSIVE *ahem*. It sounds more like a decision taken in the last minute and/or like a decision taken DRUNK. LOL
