A collection of my favorite videogame music. Note that most of them are from games I played so I might miss some great ones from games I never played.
Playstation
Soul Edge/Blade
A Continental Gale (Rock's Stage)
One track in Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception had a similar beat to the one in the first part of this track.
Oh I remember this one. Main reason why I used to like Rock, and always ask myself why they never did Rock justice in the Soul Calibur series.
you're right and as a fan they put astaroth in instead and gave him an extra slot in SC1 !!!, but later neutered his grabs and stuff. also he had grass on this stage in soulblade/edge and it was epic to knock someone off of it!
The solo at 1:10 is what does it for me.
sounds like dragon ball
Fuck yea! Soul Edge!
i always feel like doing a tribal rain dance during the starting section of this song, then at 0:56 it makes me wanna do an irish step dance. why cant modern video game soundracks be as good ??
when modern audio came to video games, the creators/producers went all in, truly it was amazing (still is)
I love the "Saint Seiya" vibe of this theme...
I just got an orgasm
this is a good track to play while your taking a hard dump and you're holding the toilet seat with all your might
Sounds like Evangelion!
it does lol
VGMpire brought me here.
Reminds me of Kyojuu Tokusou Juspion.
BANGOOOOOOOOOOO!
Continental drift
This song sounds like a "challenge" song. Like here comes the next challenger and he´s not easy to bring down.
really beautiful song i can listen to it forever
Like the bell tone
Soul Calibur 3 A Continental Gale (Rock's Theme)
Its from Soul Edge - nr 1
This some good jamming music
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
your comment goes with your picture
Haha, that's precisely what makes Soul Calibur so special. No random button combos to worry about, most of the moves are just simultaneous presses that you can string them together easily :)
Wow I barely remember this game lol
Never liked the fighter genre very much. I could never get a handle on random button combos making crazy shit happen. Nice tunes though, yet again.
soul edge is soul blade right?
it had different names depending where it was released. but its the same game!!
I have to agree with you there, something about the game just has more magic and appeal to it than Calibur does. It's simplicity maybe? That and the soundtrack was alot better. more focused on the experience, not on the moolah. :T
I want to try this game.
Holy. Shit.
Without Soulblade there is no Soulcalibur, so I think we know who wins : )
*Insert Soul Game you played first* is the best one of the series! That's really what all the comments amount to, I'd say.
Nah. Fuck you.
this is so fucking awesome.
I wish the would add this game to the PSN store, or XBOX marketplace... *sigh*
@Bodisamba Bullshit. Soul Calibur is easily the best of all five.
Soul Edge's ending was my most favorite. Simple, yet very interesting. As a child, it made me think, what if there was really a cursed sword that was buried deep in the ocean! Aw man, good times, good times...
@RetroVGamer What do you mean? SC 2 and 3 have a really nice OST
the OST of this game kickass. The first time i listened this song was like "WOA WTF"
DOMON. MASTER. Oh wait
soul blade, a PS1 game that unlike others from its generation, has STOOD THE TEST OF TIME! One of the GREATEST fighting games ever created. the weapon detection in this game is beyond even the soul calibur sequels and is still unmatched.a Must have title that will play on your PS3. GET IT NOW!
my god this is AWESOME! It really plays with chords and instruments, making the thing so interesting! *~*
I've never played the game.. but I must admit, I find this sound track amazing. Like so many he's posted.. current fave is #9 (Tribes 2 Desert Theme). Tribes 2 - one of my all time favorite FPS games.
@Coldmilk51312 coldmilk...if iwas a girl i would b lesbian for you ......
I had this on a different screen and wasn't aware the video before it was on autoplay, and when this came on, I thought it was a song from any of the older Gundam series, haha. Still, sounds great, and I kick myself for not appreciating the soundtrack back then how I would now.
Why can't things get better with age instead of the other way around?
@AnoukaKC Yeah 1995-2000 was a golden age for all platforms.. I feel a new one coming on, the wheel is about to be on its way up.
i've never played this but i've played soul calibour both have good music
On the Playstation version of "Soul Edge" (original Japanese version), each character had three musical themes, the original arcade music, an arranged version of the arcade music and a Khan Super Session track which you can hear in this video, "A Continental Gale" was Rock's theme. Most of the Khan Super Session tracks were done by live performing musicians, hence the great sounding quality.
@Ziegus Seriously. They don't make music for games like the used to...
3 dislikes is 3 too many. I'll never understand some people.
This is really, really good.
The best Soul Edge saga soundtrack (Khan Super Session).
Bahahah SOUL EDGE! One of the best Weapon Based Fighting Game ever made! I'm not saying the latest Soul Caliber are bad, just not even close to what the original Soul Edge was.
omg this is just so epic and grand :)
Orchestra with rock mixed in is the epitome of epic
I preferred Recollect Continent for Rock's stage, but this one is also pretty sweet.
The transition at 0:57, straight outta left-field, but yet oh so good!
seasons beatings 2 mvc2 ohio soundtrack jeje
not sure if this is Rock's Theme from Soul Edge.... or is this from the JPN version?
In the list NEED to stay the opening of soul edge. By far the most exciting opening in a fighting game.
wow
Perhaps, but with the way things usually go with human relationships theres no way of discovering the truth unless you either knew him personally or knew someone who knew him. Its not uncommon for people to exaggerate an issue if it appeals to their interests. Maybe he was a dick, but we would still be basing it on second hand info.
2:38-3:08 Best part ever.
Agreed. I was able to find a used copy (Japanese version) on Play-Asia and had a blast playing it.
im in the process of doing so but i must say that it is hands down one of the hardest things i ever tried to do....i have a lot of experience under my belt when it come to fighting games...and Virtua Fighter is a challenge...i have wolf down for sure but it wasnt easy at all man
I have a tone of respect for anyone who can master just one character in Virtua Fighter; its depth is staggering.
There were some balance issues in DOA series, even in the latest installment. certain characters have a ridiculous advantage. I overlooked it though, because it doesn't make them unbeatable, its just something you have to be mindful of when versing them. DOA 4 online would have been a lot better if it had more content. SC4 was a major online disappointment for me. The game play speed has been knocked down a peg or three, making it less responsive than DOA4. :(
that game could not spoil me.....after i played it...it was ok but to weird....and they gave some characters more priority than others and i ddnt like that...i like virtua fighter better...i almost got spoiled by that game....then i started to play street fighter and king of fighters religiously again..lol
well, with developers like Team Ninja disbanding the lead member of the team for ambiguous reasons, it gives one a sore impression on the battle ground that is the video game industry.
I was also discovering DOA 3 and DOA Ultimate at the time, thus I was probably spoiled by its smooth, fast paced and brutal game play. :)
maybe I was too quick to discredit SC3. It was a good fighting game but not as solid as it could have been. the major draw for me was the create a character mode but beyond that innovation was lacking. The music added a little content to the fights but nothing memorable. It was like namco was trying too hard to make a sale and neglected the beauty and substance of the original game. Just my opinion. admittedly when it first came out I was pretty excited until the newness wore off.
and i really dnt think SC3 was bad at all...music wise or gameplay wise....SC4 should of came out in at least another yr before they came out with it because to me it just seem it was still in the concept stage....at least with SC3 all of their ideas were fully developed and the gameplay was pretty solid...tales of the souls was also enjoyable for me....if anything SC4 would seem like the worst out of the series
yes it does sound shallow...and i did mention they fired the namco sound team...but i also mentioned that me next part was a theory at the end of my first comment....but im not holding it past them if they did it or not because of it has happend before....Capcom like i mention fired their sub company clover studios for undisclosed reason...and they were pumping out alot of hits...and ppl think the same think that may of happened to the NST may of happen to clover studios
as well as SC 4, more of a disappointment than 3.
Are you sure thats true, it just sounds a little shallow. I always knew the musical composition was watered down after the age of tekken 2 and soul blade, but if namco fired the sound team thats where they lost a sale. Soul Calibur 3 was a major disappointment for me in terms of music and game play.
agreed....but i think namco caught on and kept most of the music like this for soul caliber....tekken was totally changed up...bt at least its not crappy techno....and some of the newer tekken games have went back to the way the music used to be like...and thats pretty awesome....you know the same think happen in capcom...bt it wasnt the sound team,,,it was a whole damn sub company
Wow, if that's true. That's weak sauce.
because they fired the original namco sound team.....if you listen to some of the music in the earlier games up to tekken 2 that was the bese music in any of their games now because of that sound team.....all of the sudden when tekken 3 came out they had a different sound team.....no one knows why but think namco got jealous that the sound team was getting more recognition for the games because of their music and namco let them because of it...just a theory
He had 2 this one and the one you mentioned.
"Doubtful Judgement" from the fight with Souledge on the Super Khan Session was a favorite of mine. I don't know why I sold this game.
oh, well symphonia 2 is multiplayer if you didnt no, so just play it WITH a friend if you cant mooch a system/ renting always works but kinda a waste of money
Yeah, I lent my GameCube to a friend and didn't see it for about 18 months. I'm making up the time now. Hopefully another buddy will let me mooch off his system so I can play the next one. Not current gen yet myself
yah it was,and you just beat it?lol number 2 is coming out in 2 weeks
Yeah, I just beat Tales of Symphonia. The Desian boss music was great.
has anyone played Tales of symphonia, or baten kaitos because those especially baten kaitos 1 had awesome music
Love the bells.
very epic!
it was always a struggle for me to decide sometimes. I think in the end I choose the KSS anyway. xD
Why can't Namco make soundtracks like this anymore? I don't get it! Have they gotten lazy or just don't care? It's pathetic that ten years ago they made better fighting soundtracks than they do now.
Definitely one of the better BGMs on Soulblade and the best from the KSS.
Call me a heretic, but I wasn't that fond of the Khan Super Session tracks... I like the orchestral originals, particularly Cervantes' stage music.
exeletn song i fanatic this game and your secuels :P (soul calubur)
Guilty Gear can challenge that claim.
Best theme in the game.
This sounds so emotional!
Jeez... back then they really put their efforts into the music. Best soundtrack for a fighting game EVAR!!
