SwordBreaker Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 My vote goes to Digital Devil Saga [1] for the PS2, composed by Shoji Meguro. Man...you really get chills as these tracks play out throughout the game. The live guitars are excellently performed and sound great! The compositions are also just out of this world. Lots of loud rock tracks in addition to some downtempo, chill, and jazzy performances. This man is a genius. Definitely one of my favorite soundtracks ever. Here are some of my favorite tracks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmemd1V5XTk&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpM1XxsC0zQ&feature=PlayList&p=D770BA0516B26E2D&index=18 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IG7FCupjJM&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIV91ZkTqLY&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAXpq-xs3Rk&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQLGKydpxt4&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siCx9eWn3-U&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8Km_XPdLo8&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUQvRA0Lf-E&feature=related Any other suggestions you guys have for great rock-based game soundtracks or individual tracks?

LuketheXjesse Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Do I really have to say it? All the Guilty Gear Games. ALL OF THEM. No questions asked. Especially . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Pretty much any JRPG soundtrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerrax Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Do I really have to say it?All the Guilty Gear Games. ALL OF THEM. No questions asked. Especially . YES. Also for some old-school SNES rock, UN Squadron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Do I really have to say it?All the Guilty Gear Games. ALL OF THEM. No questions asked. Especially . This should be extended to any Daisuke Ishiwatare soundtrack, as the BlazBlue OST is pretty rocktacular as well. Like this right here.

prophetik music Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 i enjoyed the halo 2 soundtrack, but it's not rock as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sindra Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Motoi Sakuraba...wow. My first of him was Arcus Odyssey. Fucking awesome soundtrack. But yeah, Guilty Gear had pone of my best rock soundtracks ever. Perfectly fast-paced and kick-ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunarfall Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Sonic Adventure actually has an excellent soundtrack, although some of the songs are a tad cheesy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonstray Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Not sure if this counts as "rock" so much as "fucking metal" but I guess it deserves a mention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 My Motoi devotion runs pretty deep (as evidenced by Yggdrasil Speaks To Me) and I pretty much learned everything I know about songwriting from studying him. Having said that, I believe Motoi has a bizarre OCD need to crank out 30 hours of game music a year, much of which is increasingly derivative. He's talented to a point where it literally makes you sick to wonder how he actually pulls it off and what it does to his health, but he had to claw up there. Frankly, when you listen to all his stuff before Valkyrie Profile, compared to everything after... well its a wonder he got as far as he did. Still: Baten Kaitos Origins and SSBB. Life is good.

TheHands Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Not sure if this counts as "rock" so much as "fucking metal" but I guess it deserves a mention Quite the "fucking metal" there. I'm gonna be a dick and say Rock Band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arek the Absolute Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 D: This makes me want them to localise RM2 even more now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunarfall Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 It's a Tales game, you know that's never gonna happen. Well they might, they did with RM1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arek the Absolute Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I was really shocked when they did RM1. From what I hear, it sold decently here. I can understand them not wanting to bring RM2 here though. They should bring Rebirth instead ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrototypeRaptor Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 My vote goes for Red Alert 2. RA3, not so much, but 2 has a perfect blend of rock-funk deliciousness. Case in point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WqwFhX6Cqg&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7jSig5_N3o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpENX8gZiTU&feature=related Universe at War also had some pretty kickass tracks by the same guy. And it was released for free! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBz62nZVMJw Man, Frank Klepacki never disappoints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Joker Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 This leans more to Hard rock, but, it's rock none the less. Prince of Persia Warrior Within had an awesome soundtrack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=699vwXINzE0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-buGyrq0BVY Friggin mood setting music.
