Azure Prower Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 Er.. it doesn't suddenly gives the composer special superhuman abilities. There's no link there. It's like comparing chip tunes to Halo music. Which one are you going to prefer while playing Halo? Just an example, though I know every one has their own tastes in music. Just as time progresses, I feel the newer music that comes out is more refined. Refined music for refined games. Even Jun Senoue said he couldn't make the awesome type of music he did recently with 10 year old music mixing technology. How ever there are some dated composures that you can sit back and chill to and some times there are times they do not fit. Doesn't make them inferior.

lazygecko Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Music has nothing to do with wether a game is 3D or not. Many 3D games used sequenced music in the same way as early titles, for example FFX and even Twilight Princess, just as many 2D titles use recorded music.

chrono26 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 the only difference is that in the past, composers were limited by how much space could be allocated to sound and music. Even mitsuda talked about how he was constantly limited when composing the Chrono Cross soundtrack. with the technology now, there is a lot more freedom. you can have 100 sound tracks and full orchestra and all that good stuff. anyway, did i say Chrono Cross already? and Baten Kaitos and Star Ocean TtEoT (is that right?)

SoloGamer Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 the only difference is that in the past, composers were limited by how much space could be allocated to sound and music.

chrono26 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 But we're not talking about the past, we're talking about 3D vs 2D well most 2D games are the older ones. i dont see why there should be a difference in the music of 2D or 3D games if they were made in the same time period.

Azure Prower Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 well most 2D games are the older ones. i dont see why there should be a difference in the music of 2D or 3D games if they were made in the same time period. Ding! Exactly the reason why I specified 3d. Or else I would be flooded with old beloved rpgs Of course. I haven't played any retail RPGs since Fable and don't know what's out there really.

lazygecko Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 You're still getting flooded with old ones. Mid-to-late 90's RPGs without (Sometimes even with) redbook music sounds primitive by today's standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerrax Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Final Trigger of Phantasia 6.7; definately that one. I lolled for real Oh and uh..... I don't know. I don' t play a lot of RPGs. My favorite RPG tunes are the old ones. 3-D RPGs try to be all Hans Zimmer-like and they suck because its just bland orchestra shit. Stuff like Chrono Trigger, FF8, FF7, EarthBound, OgreBattle, Iluusion of Gaia; that's the real goods. Halo's soundtrack is boring. So is Oblivion's. Even Soul Calibur is kind of weak. They focus too much on composition and sound quality and not enough on "is this actually interesting to hear?". Fable's soundtrack sucks the most. DANNY ELFMAN CAN'T WRITE VGM! Stick to movies!

Fable's soundtrack sucks the most. Halo's has some good tracks. So does Fable. But depends on your taste in music. But as for the bland orchestra music, I'd have to agree. I listened to Morrowinds (Oblivion's predecessor) and it was just that. I didn't want to listen to any more of the tracks afterwards. May appeal to some, but not me either. Sudeki's music was pretty interesting (for it's time and still is surprisingly), only problem is so few tracks, thus sending me on my search for more interesting rpg music with my expectations bar set kind of high. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why limit yourself to just RPGs? Rygar for PS2 has an awesome soundtrack played by the Moscow International Symphony and Shadow of the Colossus has one of the best soundtracks in any game ever.

Raenok Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I know it sounds strange, but World of Warcraft. Especially the Burning Crusade soundtracks. Just do a search for Lament of the Highborne, The Burning Legion (music), and Hyjal's closing (music). Pretty loving epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
