Videogame Music That Isn't Doom

Quite possibly my favorite Half-Life track, closely followed by some from the episodes of HL2:







RIP HL, you deserved a conclusion, but ended up in Pastebin, literally...



The Batman Arkham series also had a solid soundtrack.



One of my favorite racing games ever, absolutely loving Death Rally, a game everyone needs to play at least once in their lives. Oh and ignore the reboot...



Need I say more?



Eternal worshiper of the MK franchise.



The original SW was very atmospheric, and the reboot totally understood this.

Enough for one post.

I like the combat music so much in Deus Ex that I throw stealth out the window just to hear it:

Love me some Contra: Shattered Soldier

I first heard this in the other video I posted. Not bad:

Orgasmic....




And this one always sounded like Nine Inch Nails (With Teeth era), the guitar part in particular

scary

Oh no no, that's beautiful. Glad you made that thread related to this music on DW where you linked to this title, the soundtrack of this game is nothing less than perfect and beautiful.



Finishing Amnesia is without a doubt a great achievement, the mechanics of this game are perfect, the real enemy in this game is none other than YOURSELF and your mind.

I recently installed a Zelda music mod for Skyrim. I was thinking of making my own music mod for it, with Castlevania songs. This one would be cool for one of the combat music replacements.

So I was able to figure out how to replace songs in Skyrim with Castlevania ones. There's a couple steps to it, you need a WMX skyrim converter, for the MP3s you want to replace the songs with. Then you need to create a file structure in the data folder, and place in the songs that will automatically overwrite the original skyrim songs. There's a youtube video tutorial on it, if anyone cares to trying it out for themselves.

Well, the end result was not very impressive. It is hard to find songs that will flow well with a game like this. Mainly the "exploration songs" were hard to find a good fit. I think many classic Castlevania songs sound better as combat music for this game.

Who ever made the Zelda music mod must have put a lot of thought into the replacement music, because it sounds spot on for Skyrim.

I've decided I'll just replace the Skyrim OST with the original movie score from Conan: the Barbarian.

Btw, I found this really great rendition of "Silence of Daylight", done in a Castlevania 4 style:

Conan the Barbarian OST Mod for Skyrim is a success.

Honestly, it feel more appropriate than the the original Skyrim OST. But of course, the game borrows most heavily from it, obviously.

This plays during combat, while the other songs play during the exploration of the map:
