José the Bronx Rican Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I spent my lunch break at work considering the possibility of contributing. An hour later, I had an 80% complete "Aquatic Ruin." I guess that's an affirmative. I'll also see about Special Stage and 2-Player Casino Night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLyGeN Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I wouldn't even think of playing a game with the tracks on that above linked page, ugh. You mean this page, right? http://blazemp3.sepwich.com/sonic2remastered/ I have only listened to Oil Ocean on that page as I type this, and I honestly think it would go very well with an HD remake. The levels are enhanced, the music gets enhanced. I hear a lot of people say things like "oh man this ReMix should go in the next ____ game", but they're talking about a totally epic, scored piece that is nice to listen to, but does not go well with a game. I'll use Live at the Sandopolis as an example.. I love that track and it is extremely well done, and it is great to listen to. But it just would not fit with a game. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what's going on as I have not read through this whole thread, in which case, there's my two bits. edit: Now I've read the whole thread. But I still think midi-rips, or a track made from scratch that still emulates the original, is the right direction for the music. With good samples, of course.

Wintermute Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 We're not talking about needing _remixes_ per se, but just having higher quality music in general is a good idea. The music on that page is really low quality. The same exact treatment by better musicians could lead to much cooler sounding stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're redoing the tracks exactly like that, but in a higher quality that doesn't completely blow. I agree--the concept is appropriate, but the execution of that specific page is not. Also, glad to see you're taking an interest, José! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pezman Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 What happened to Tweaker's (Tweek's?) tracks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Teaker is not Tweek, at least Tweek the ReMixer here on OCR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
José the Bronx Rican Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I thought "Special Stage" wasn't done yet, before I realized that's what Shariq offered. I'd probably work on the smaller stuff that hasn't been covered yet. "Aquatic Ruin"'s almost ready. I'll soon get on that board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
José the Bronx Rican Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 While I wait for "validation" in order to post at the project forum (!), howzat for first contribution? Aquatic Ruin: premaster (this'll be the only time; I don't wanna make this a WIP thread or anything) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicTweaker Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Sorry about the delay in validation, I've taken care of that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pezman Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I reiterate: What happened to Tweaker's tracks? They were awesome and now there's nothing there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicTweaker Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I've never submitted any tracks to OCR. You're thinking of Tweek, I reckon, but it's definitely not me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pezman Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I didn't mean tracks on OCR. Have you tried to download your tracks from the forum lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
José the Bronx Rican Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Everything on the first post of this page that says "Tweaker's Version" is still available. Or do you mean something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilore Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I like the idea... I have to ask, though: Will you attempt to include Genocide City Zone? I saw in your forums that you're going to include Hidden Palace as well as Wood Zone. I know not a whole lot is known about Genocide City Zone, but I think it'd be neat to try to add it.

Dhsu Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 The whole idea of a Genocide City Zone is shocking and hilarious at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
