Title: Most creapy game soundtrack
Post by: Amon_Re on May 02, 2003, 03:32:36 pm: My personal fave goes to Alien VS Predator, not only is it a soundtrack that's based on the movies, but it's also an audio-CD! How cool is that?! :)

I'm listening to it right now!

Cheers

Of course, now CPUs are fast enough that MP3 or OGG are even better solutions.

The original bobble buble was 2 player at the same time. I'm pretty sure of that (Almost every version I've seen on MAME was and the spectrum and amiga versions definately were)

Post by: Amon_Re on May 02, 2003, 05:13:52 pm: Actually, you're right Karajorma, my mistake, don't remember anymore for the C64 version tho... I remember playing a version that wasn't simultate, or i could be completely wrong, seeing that the original arcade game dates back to 1986.... :)

Cheers

Post by: pyro-manic on May 02, 2003, 08:36:47 pm: Britney must die. So must Christina, and every other pop group around at the moment. Problem is, pop is now going all poop-punk (Ha! Typo leads to unintentionally funny and accurate term! Cool! :D ), with crap like Busted and Blink 182 -style stuff dominating. All the trendy bastards (e.g. Jamie Theakston) are starting to use the horns, when they don't even know what it means! :mad: Gene Simmons will not be happy..... I say break out the shiny suits and facepaint. :devil:

Anyway, back on-topic...

Creepy soundtrack: "Devil May Cry" for PS2. Combination of spooky synths, ambient sounds, and kick-ass Drop-D riffage in the fight sequences. Frickin' awesome. Also, very good game, which helps! :)

I should hope it was 2 player, I spent hours on it with my brother in the time before I could read. :D

Anyway, for a serious answer, System Shock 2. :shaking:

Ah we have a KISS fan here :)

But yea, all them popgroups like Blink are sickening, i hardly listen to the radio anymore (except the local station, they're obsessed about the 80's & that's GOOD)

We have a contest here in Belgium going on called POPidol, guess who just made the finals... yep, a headbanging Rocker :) All them weasely poppy losers are gone... GONE I TELL YOU! Muhahahaha

That's one of the only times I've seen the words local station, 80's and good in the same sentence.

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on May 03, 2003, 06:11:34 am: I found Half-Life's music quite creepy, as it was more ambient sound than music, like that of Xen creatures' noises.

All we need is a game with BlueJam for a soundtrack!

Of course, now CPUs are fast enough that MP3 or OGG are even better solutions.

Microbit stream techniques are still better than compress formats though. Just take a look at Homeworld for an example of that. You can run the game on a bare minimum spec system and though the game may play jerky, the sound still comes out quite smooth.

Sure the files might take as much as a (PCM) wave file, but the output quality is good and at a much lower cpu work load than MP3 and/or OGG.

Size isn't everything... at least not file size :)

Huh? Is a microbit even smaller than a bit? WTF are you talking about?

Get DAB radio - Planet Rock is brilliant. You get everything from Led Zep, to Eric Clapton, to Iron Maiden, to Queen, to Black Sabbath. Rock. And. Roll!!! You can get it on the internet as well: http://www.planetrock.co.uk :cool:

Lucky you! We got Gareth f***ing Gates and Will Young from that. NOT pretty, I can tell you. I want to kill Simon Cowell and Pete Waterman very slowly, using nothing more than a teaspoon and a bottle of vinegar

It sounds quite weird on my mate's surround sound system!

Post by: karajorma on May 04, 2003, 03:06:09 pm: Anyone know where I can download a copy of the X-com tune? I've been meaning to get a copy but I've only ever seen it in midi format (and a not very good conversion at that).
Title: Most creapy game soundtrack
Post by: Exarch on May 05, 2003, 11:35:41 pm: X-Com was the scariest game ever, but I never paid much attention to the music. Was way too busy being scared out of my mind by the Chryssalid I just heard walking nearby, but can't see because it's pitch-black and I didn't bring enough flares :shaking:
