BardicKnowledge Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 I highly recommend checking out Darksiders II -- Emily Reese over at MPR's Top Score really enjoyed it, and for good reason, as the soundtrack is vastly improved over the original game. Quote
firedude750 Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Can't get much more recent than both Halo 4 and Assassin's Creed III. Both have beautiful orchestral scores, and really are just so freaking cool. Quote
Mirby Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Professor Layton's always had good music, and the recent Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask is no exception. Quote
Cerrax Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 The Killzone series has amazing music, especially the third (and most recent) installment. Where most games go for moody, heightened tension a la Inception or other recent blockbuster movies, Killzone is just balls-to-the-wall brass and timpani like a super-evil Star Wars score. Quote
Tensei Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 Dark Souls has a deliberately sparse soundtrack (music only plays during boss fights and a few particular areas) and a heavy emphasis on . Then you make it to the final boss fight and plays. Quote
Melbu Frahma Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 *quasi-bump* Came back in the thread to say that I recently got FTL on Steam, and (aside from being an all-around good game anyway) the music is really good. It's on the chippy-ish side, which kind of surprised me for a space game, but it made sense once I started playing. I feel like it does a good job of capturing the empty, lonely feel of running from a rebellion through sectors of space where it seems like EVERYONE wants to kill you. I could've sworn someone else mentioned it earlier in the thread, too. Quote

Flexstyle Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Has Borderlands 2 been mentioned yet? I listen to that soundtrack while reading, a lot. Makes a great backdrop for fantasy and sci-fi novels. Also, the new Devil May Cry soundtrack by Noisia and Combichrist. So intense. Quote
Annie Felis Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Ni no Kuni just came out, and I must say the soundtrack is awesome. Then again it's by Joe Hisaishi, so it's it's a given. Quote
liquid wind Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I'm pretty far behind on current gen games(just got a 360 a couple months ago), but Bastion is excellent as many people have said Quote
ectogemia Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Everything Virt has done over the past five years.Or ever. Omggddd, virt's music basically fueled the 10 hour drives to and from MAGFest. Best chip artist there is. And I've heard coda... edit: ok, maybe Shnabubula takes the cake... Quote
Modus Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 When I saw virt on stage at MAG, my first thought was "this guy is.. adorable. Why am I using that word?" virt is so charismatic and likeable I couldn't stand it. Then he started the music and it was the sickest opener I'd. Ever. Heard. Quote
PROTO·DOME Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 virt is so charismatic and likeable I couldn't stand it. Then he started the music and it was the sickest opener I'd. Ever. Heard.Yeah I fucking hate him. Quote
Modus Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Proto if you're jealous, you're adorable too. Only by extension of your mascot, but still.. Quote
Eino Keskitalo Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 , an excellent homebrew C64 game from last year has amazing tunage. It's also recently available for free as a download.--Eino Quote
Theory of N Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Then you make it to the final boss fight and plays. ...that song reminded me so much of Reuben Kee. Quote
Mirby Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Fire Emblem Awakening. You can't get much more recent than that (at the time of this post), and the music's pretty fantastic. Also Bravely Default. Quote
The Derrit Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Also Bravely Default. how would you know that (not that you're wrong) Quote
Thalzon Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Ni No Kuni has an awesome, fully-orchestrated soundtrack. There aren't an enormous number of songs (as an example, the first dungeon and the final dungeon have the same music) but they all sound wonderful. Quote
Mirby Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 how would you know that (not that you're wrong) youtube Quote
Esperado Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Mirrors edge is a good example. DAT BOAT CHASE SONG. MMMMM. but really, it has a nice futuristic feel that helps really set the pace. on a similar vein, the soundtrack to inmomentum, is similarly futuristic and fun to listen to. I think it came with indiegamemusic bundle 3 or 4, for those who are familiar with that. im STILL sorting through all those albums... Quote

I think it came with indiegamemusic bundle 3 or 4, for those who are familiar with that. im STILL sorting through all those albums... I concur with both points! I feel kind of like I have enough music for the next couple of years with all the bundles and what not.. --Eino Quote
Esperado Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 the first bundle alone was like, what, 26 albums or something if you donated 10$ . Pure madness. now im just waiting for songs for the cure 2012... Quote
liquid wind Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Forgot about it in my earlier post because it's a mod I haven't played, but I love Neotokyo's soundtrack Quote
WiFiSunset Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 This game had an amazing soundtrack. Super Monkey Ball Adventure (Kongri-la): . I couldn't believe how Orchestral and great this song sounded. It's one of my favorite songs from the game. Quote
