What are your favorite video game tunes?
I figured I could get some interesting tunes out of /mu/ that are from video games, along with some discussion about video game music in general.
Bumping with my all-time favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL2GWDTb4V4
Sora is a faggot, riku is a sasuke, and kairi is a dumb bitch

It's pretty great, but it's definitely not the GOAT

Much better space game + Much better music
>>55499873
Fallout 3
Halo 3
We covered some of our favorite video game tunes. Kind of the generic 'acoustic covers' thing but we tried to make it sort of unique by doing it performance-style and changing up the tunes a bit:

You guys are pretty good
>>55500267
Fucking love the whole soundtrack to that game. You should take a look at Sticker Star's soundtrack. It is, in my estimation, the best one out of the whole PM series.
>>55500156
Thanks for showing me that tune!
>>55500093
Hey, you guys are pretty darn good!

I'll have to try listening to the Sticker Star soundtrack, I enjoyed all the other PM music and I have not played sticker star.
Here are some more of my favorites:

>>55499931
Disqualified
This song isn't even on the soundtrack
>>55500884
I'll have you know that the song itself isn't, but all parts from it are, so technically, it counts
>>55500927
Even so, Farthest Outpost, Never Forget, and One Final Effort are all equal to, if not better than, that mix.
>>55500093
I liked that

I want to arrange this soundtrack for wind band. It would be amazing to see it played live.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKXvfR_uwTE
I always thought this was pretty good.
>>55499917
Yeah. I still dig the Kingdom Hearts games though, the combat is pretty good and the story is ridiculous in the best way. They have some pretty good music, too.
>>55499873
Good, but definitely not even the best from Super Mario 64. That would be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ruqn1Lnexs
>>55499931
The Halo OST is a pretty cool guy. I don't love those games (not a big FPS fan in general) but the soundtrack is pretty good.
>>55500093
I was hesitant to click the link first because let's be honest most acoustic covers on YouTube are mediocre at best, but I'm glad I did. Both of these duets are really elegantly arranged, especially with regard to how you changed up the chord progressions a little bit. The interplay at the end of the Milk Bar video was nice, you guys should try to work more of that into future covers instead of just trading off the lead while the other strums chords). Also you both play really well. Cover this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNzYIEY-CcM
>>55501293
That part was like, the best part of the whole game by a longshot to me. Although in my case the sun wasn't setting, it was already nighttime when I got there. Also that song is great, I love Jose Gonzalez. That game got pretty tedious by then end I thought, the combat was so repetitive and the game was so long.
INCOMING BEST VIDEO GAME MUSIC
>Christophe Heral - Throughtful Reflections (Beyond Good and Evil, play this game if you haven't.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIZgMv4U4So
>Nobuo Uematsu - Celes Theme (Final Fantasy VI. I have only played half of this game (I was playing it in an emulator and then my save file got fucked up somehow when I was pretty far into the game and I was too frustrated about that to start over. Even still, it may have the best soundtrack. In addition to being a brilliant composer, Uematsu is able to pull some really complicated sounds out of the SNES soundcard.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2ddgMrhfYM
>>55503106
A few more before I head out:
>Yasunori Mitsuda - Schala's Theme (Chrono Trigger. Great game. Instead of the recording from the soundtrack, here's a song where Wiz Khalifa raps over it)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKWFvbgkWls
>Death Cab for Cutie - Earth Angel (Penguins Cover) (Stubbs the Zombie. Not a great game, but it had a lot of charm and creative ideas going for it. Plus the soundtrack is all covers of songs from the 50's by indie rock bands, commissioned exclusively for the game. It also features the Flaming Lips, Ben Kweller, and the Walkmen among others, so if you like any of them the album is worth checking out even if you never play the game)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLK4eorLDBw
>Saints Row 4 gets my pick for all-time best use of a preexisting song in a video game

Thank you guys as well.

I definitely think that acoustic covers (almost deservedly so) get a bad name due to the fact that you can just sit back and churn out one in the course of 15 minutes if you have an acoustic (which many people do), and a camera (which many people do as well).
We do want to add more of those little touches like the one at the end of the Milk Bar, but a lot of it depends on how much time we have in the week, or how annoying it was to arrange the tune in general. Forest Maze took a LOT more time than we imagined, and even though it seems like a standard cover, it was a bit different from the original tune and did have a few of those touches, though not as much as the Milk Bar one (which we are most proud of).
Corridors of Time is definitely one we're going to tackle, but it will probably be closer to the end of the year! Thanks for the in-depth feedback, by the way.

I dont think there is a single song i've ever heard that captures the feeling of missioning off into space and fucking shit up, than this song.
Terran sound track from starcraft, if you were wondering.
>>55505488
After this post, I have to acknowledge that I really haven't given the Metroid series a proper listen in regards to its soundtrack.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V4IEV8l-gA - from Jet Set Radio Future
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnCwsNYRul4&index=20&list=PL4FC1A62B7B7E743F - from Fusion Frenzy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RIJ4X6vmoo - from Earthbound
This game has the best soundtrack.
