WOW has one of the best game soundtracks ever. this is really cool.

They had AC version of One Wing Angel in there... <3 instantly.

rofl. i tried doing that on panio. was a bad idea.

X.x But you can play other awesome things! OMG, zhuge, you should do your own. It would be so epic.

Very interesting. Music is a huge part of games and it's good it's having a fair share of the attention through such shows.
Though why would mario need an orchestra is beyond me... Ok I admit I never liked the game much. It entertained me when I was 6 years old but that was it. :starwars:

Soundtracks from the game 'Hitman'. Seriously underrated.

Wait a second... soundtrack from Guitar Hero? So what they're saying is that Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Iron Maiden, Muse, System of a Down etc. will be played?

Didn't see that one coming...

EDIT: On a more serious note, things like this are kick-ass. Video-game music is always at its great when played by an orchestra like this.

This is kickass. Blizzard soundtracks > all.

I like game soundtracks, but this kind of seems too much for me. IDK.

I agree with Necro, the Hitman soundtrack is underrated.

Hey now, video game music has evolved a shitload! Of course this is necessary

I couldn't disagree more with the way they are trying to potray this. it's all like "omg, we're so awesome, we make kids listen to symphonies".

We'll I don't think the few comment in there made any great impression on me, it was mostly the regular cut&paste responses to why something is "good".

Quote from milanv

well yes, you are listening to symphonies basically, but not anything real. this is great music for me, but REAL classical music is just something beyond me and I have yet to understand it, and willingly go and listen to symphonies.

Hang on here, not real? Why would any of Beethoven's symphonies be any greater than this (theoretically speaking)?

Classical music technically can't even be created anymore because it's only from a specific period of musical history. A lot of this is contemporary or post-modern, which usually entails mixing a different variety of instruments (or genres) than is normally accepted in to a new and creative form. For instance, rock and orchestra is a popular one. But, for the simplicity of listeners, some stuff today is still labeled "classical." I learned that last semester. I guess it's true enough.

Archaic holdings on classical music, and even music from outside video games, is largely what keeps video games from accomplishing their full potential. For some stupid reason, people think movies are some how more "creatively attunated" than video games, and music beyond movies even more so. These are just lame excuses, in most cases, for professionals to dismiss, without fully engaging, the power of video games as an entertainment, educational, and dynamic medium.

In the past couple hundred years, theatre has been considered the pinnacle of entertainment because it integrated visual, musical, and spoken art forms. Over the last two decades, directors of theatre, and even movies, have tried avidly to bring a more dynamic and collaborative (with the audience) potential to their mediums. Unfortunately, for both theatre and movies, such attempts will usually fall short as hokey, or are limited in the degree of the sensations they can involve (3D, involving the audience in live performances, etc.). Video games, however, brought to the table an unprecedented level of interactivity than any medium so far, and can involve all the art forms equally well.

I surmise that such stereotypical holdings on what is "real" music are based purely on nostalgic and ultra-exclusive attitudes that do not give any mediums but the norms a fair chance in creative society, and that attitude needs to change: it is that attitude that is, of its own accord, pushing younger generations away from venerated classical sources.

Hear, hear!

Amen brother!

Somehow, I find the instrumentally very simple Tristram theme (the original) much more effective than a giant bombastic orchestra. But that's how I've always been, I think.

Still fabulous pieces, of course.

Will they just be WoW music or some diablo added as well if ya know?

Where's the Resident Evil music?
