90s video game music had way more personality.

90's vidya music thread?

Licensed music has taken precedence over composed music.

Rockstar should bring this game back as a downloadable thing (as long as Pixar isn't going to bitch about it).

When has the SNES ever had a good SF2 theme?

Yes please.
Name a more epic theme in the history of video games. You can't.

Joseph Baker
guiles theme is stolen.
Ryan Cook
Hm...that's not bad, actually. It sounds remastered. The original SNES theme sounds very tinny.
That weird basketball bass line never worked for me, though.
Let's try this one.
Liam Rodriguez
sorry bro I couldn't help it youtube.com
Sebastian Martinez
The Genesis version is way better, has a lot more punch to it
Jose Brooks
stolen? Elaborate please.
Luke Brown
Dylan Walker
I assume you're talking about SF2:SCE because SSF2 on the Genesis sounds awful. It's right down there with the 32X Doom for audio butchering.
Sebastian Stewart
Original Arcade is better.
Charles Lee
i think they paid their devs.
Elijah Hall
>90s capcom
>paying their devs
LMAO
William King
Holy shit its very similar, Guile's theme was probably influenced by this.
Isaac Anderson
This.
Once composers had the tools to create atmosphere textures rather than work around dry and abrasive tones it was all over for quality melodies in vidya music.
Wyatt Jenkins
Both wrong. CPS2 version is objectively better than Genesis/CPS1 version. On a semi-related note, I think they did a great job on Guile's theme in SFV. It's a terrible game (there hasn't been a truly good SF since ST), but I think the soundtrack is pretty underrated.
Jayden Moore
It came out a few years before SF2 and its a japanese band too.
The music guy at capcom absolutely listened to that song.
>there hasn't been a truly good SF since ST
lmao
Matthew Cooper
Turd Strike apologist or 09'er. Either way, I'm right. If you didn't switch over to KoF I feel bad for you.
Brody Torres
lmaooooo
Gabriel Nelson
CPS2 version definitely sounds like the T-Square song posted above, with the electric guitar and slap bass.

I've barely played Warcraft II and this is burned into my fucking head. It's so wonderful.

T-Square was very popular and influential, yes, but there was definitely a lot of similar-sounding jazz fusion music in Japan going around at that time and Yoko Shimomura has said she was heavily into jazz fusion.
Camden Flores
Ken theme is stolen from Top Gun.
Landon Roberts
I don't like Street Fighter at all, but Ken has the best theme
Daniel Reed
I didnt know about any of this, holy fuck.

they used to hire people with talent back then, now it's all shit
Jeremiah Cox
When you see something like Guiles or Kens theme taking heavily from contemporary music it only shows that pop music was much nicer back then.
Game soundtracks are still inspired by modern music, its just that now modern music is wubb wubb garbage.
Same with movies by the way. Shit like Contra is inspired by some manly Rambo and Predator shit. Dante is 100% a mix between Helsing and Blade.
Now everything is soft so we get soft inspirations. Cant really make cool action shit based on Shia Labeouf.

You should check out Clamato Fever.

Plenty of the top composers from back in the day are still around, but a lot of them are independent now and only work with smaller titles or on commission.
Oliver Roberts
this, so much.
Benjamin Gonzalez
That's why you get Marky Mark

SFV version is honestly the best, a blast to play too.

It happens with plenty of videogames.

I wish there were more people like you.

I think it's also because guile was always a bitch to beat.
It made everything more dramatic.
But maybe that's just me.

Good taste

Music guy...
Yoko shimomura is a woman.

That is some dope art

Real answer: games were shorter back then, and brief, highly melodic loops are good for grabbing attention in brief, level-based segments. That kind of thing doesn't work so well in the the exploratory open world format that's more popular today, because recognizable melodies don't work very well when endlessly repeated. There's a reason why pop songs always stay within a 4-7 minute limit while anything outside those bounds is going to take greater influences from classical and jazz and less from blues and folk. Even the "symphonic" tunes of early vidya commonly associated with JRPGs had more in common with pop music than traditional classical on a melodic and instrumental level.

This is something that people who say "western vidya music sux cuz it's inspired by film soundtrax" fail to realize. A lot of the greatest pieces of music ever created were from the golden age of film, and from the 30s to the 80s it was not uncommon for western cinema to have melodic mastery similar to your favorite animu theme song. Back to the Future came out in 1985 and its soundtrack crushes your average JRPG's like a grape. It wasn't until the late '90s that bland textural shit became the universal method of western scoring, likely due in no small part to hype culture allowing musically bankrupt "artists" to top the charts (how many Top 40 melodies can you remember from the 1980s vs. the 2000s?) and CGI selling movies and video games without the need of substantive qualities.
