>Mega Drive soundtracks by westerners
Truly an emotional rollercoaster. Japanese have nothing on western composers.
>>12015802TWAAAAAAANG*sounds of metal being shredded*
>>12015730this would be funnier if you the 4chan sound extension and chose a song that syncs up with the guy's reaction
>>12015819You jest, but the japs loved Metal Machine Music.
>>12015730Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992)>Sega of America had initially wanted to use an in-house soundtrack, but it was rejected by the development staff who considered it "awful"> Nakamura would end up returning for the sequel, having increased his asking price due to the success of the first game
>>12015859I'm glad they pushed back on SoA shit that time. SoA never made a single good game, nor their stupid fucking "institute" or the Tallarico-tier conman Mark "I made Sonic 2" Cerny
>>12015896B-b-but... Kid Chameleon! Comix Zone!
>>12015903and Wild Woody!
>>12015730Sonic 3 has the best soundtrack of the MD games and much of it was composed by an African-American pedophile.
>>12015945The compositions aren't the problem, but the use of the soundchip and FM synth. Michael Jackson and his producer might have written notes here and there, but the Japanese processed and that's why it sounds good.
>>12015859If this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJLkkOxRP8Y is any indication of what SoA's Sonic 2 sounded like, then I'm not surprised the japanese threw it out of the window.Not to shit too hard on David Javelosa, but there's a world of difference between the "techno-punk" you can hear on his channel and the melodies written by the guy from Dreams Come True.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r631JeL_pi8
>>12015945Barely even contributed to the soundtrack of the game.>African-American pedophileJew
>>12015730Fart noises
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h64gus8A3UIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJhy4pR6ZHojust, wow
>>12015918Ironically in the context of this thread, the music of this game is one of the better things about it.
>>120164952nd one has the same feeling as the resident evil director's cut basement music

Still sounds better than SNES.
>>12016536Oh you poor Genesis kid........Why don't you tell me about all the iconic Genesis / Mega Drive tracks that get remastered and remixed today? None. We don't care, the Console War is over and you lost on all fronts.
>>12016541>remastered and remixedYou don't need to do this if it's perfect to begin with. SNES music is constantly being fixed by fans because the original sounds like muddy and muffled MIDI shit.
>>12016536meanwhile Japs with the exact same hardwarehttps://youtube.com/watch?v=nH9X1iRAjC0https://youtube.com/watch?v=-VzLxWBho-8https://youtube.com/watch?v=vdV46IuVQ5o
>>12016571Japanese soundtracks are usually better. But this tired "Western music BAD" talking point is a SNES drone false flag. The Mega Drive sounded great in both Japanese and Western soundtracks, and far better than SNES.
>>12016578I don't give a shit about the SNES m8. I denounce the SNES. Now's your turn to say you denounce the Talmud you retarded shill.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xlb8UYuSIp8
>>12015896I find it funny how when they were left to their own devices all they produced was slop, worst of all was the expensive FMV garbage they produced for the MEGA CD.
>>12016583t. obvious SNES droneYou queers aren't even good at hiding it anymore.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bz0ymioyWQ&list=PLErsx10Ke4uxXKC_4RnDyw9AiUKCF8pBM&index=3https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ifj0r_7r0o&list=PLErsx10Ke4uy5_O-1kbcy-cHfVCPsiyUw&index=10https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMfLhDFT8Uk&list=PLC07EBC6571E991CD&index=3Still sounds fine to me. Wash the semen out of you're ears and you might reach the same conclusion, faggot.
>>12016603You're a fucking schizo constructing enemies in your own mind, mate
>>12016616You're a gay SNES drone faggot who has no point to make and no retort to offer. Japanese Mega Drive soundtracks obviously sound better. Western ones sound fine too. This is not a difficult point to understand.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y45S-a-AaTQ&list=PLPAbo-cOSKYw1jpD7Qgpxe3IdvQwEB7-8&index=1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9iWKzBe_zs&list=PL10AFB0328E798E3A&index=5https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Tfb9qTLjvk&list=PLC6197EAE38E17816&index=6https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFng5qjbVVc&list=PLqzYGdOUyUqIaJ4u_UgLCkG0cQWsMqzCZ&index=3Go back to gargling Mario's nuts and fuck off with this "Mega Drive sounds bad" bullshit. It sounds better than SNES, Western or Japanese.
sshhhh... jesper kyd is here.https://youtu.be/VG9YFzQNffsthis is my favorite.https://youtu.be/XNXXBr4TqFU
>>12016541May I suggest to you Sonic Spinball soundtrack on vinyl?
>>12016718do you need to scratch the vinyl to get the authentic experience or does it come pre-scratched
>>12016495>both fucking terrible
>>12016728>it's so SCRATCHY and BAD!!!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXisDB21XKY&list=PLvNp0Boas7205Jle8DGDHiDd3D6Fjht1I&index=2Funny, sounds fine to me.
>>12015903Comix zone has to be a rip off of captain comic anyway
>>12016536These are aggressively mediocre at best. You should've started with Jesper Kyd instead of GEMS bullshit that singlehandedly kickstarted OP's meme.
>>12015730This image seems rather performative.
>>12016578It sounded like fart noises. >>12016812It is
>>12016536>>12016571These are better than both. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfIBbJ8vwqYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz4z3hPiPK8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-XraUGv_bMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHXs3Pd9gAM
Is that b8? Westerners made the best Mega Drive music.
BRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPxNuIwV-yk
>>12016859>It sounded like fart noises.Nah, it sounded kino:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HD3GD0ETSk
>>12015730Sega made their western devs use the GEMS sound driver and JP got a different and better one. The stated reason was so they would sound different from each other but SoJ really just hated SoA. There were still a few cool soundtracks on the GEMS driver and some other western developers had their own custom engines that were better anyway.
>>12017240>a differentMost nip devs made their own sound drivers, they didn't use one supplied by Sega, which is why they sound so good
>>12017240Western musicians were just freelancers who got paid peanuts while Japanese musicians were mostly working professionally in the music industry. They knew how and were given the time to tune Yamaha chips to fit their purposes.>>12017297The sound drivers they made might have sounded good, but the composition was pretty lame though. Jap musicians loved pop music slop, and the studios and publishers they were working with were very strict about mass market appeal and the sort. Or they were just used to listening normie corporate slop and didn't bother experimenting.But just looking at this >>12016897and Jesper Kidd's works, you could tell that Western musicians were a lot more experimental and tried achieving richer styles of composition. Many Western made video game composers loved combining electronic, rock, and dance house music with cinematic score. It's a 70s-90s artistic tradition now long forgotten as we have lost the passion and novelty of high technology. The Japanese were also less creative in this regard, preferring to make music as is instead of something to deliver a delightfully dissonant, novel, and above-the-vogue experience like the Westerners would.
>>12017754>experimentalYeah and it sounded like ass. Just like how Streets of Rage 3 tried to be more experimental and sounded like shit compared to SoR2
>>12015730dude, westerners made the only good genesis tracks.https://youtu.be/w0-mkukUH5k?si=gsmtt4msESpY2Ju_
>>12017765>I ONLY LOVE CORPORATE SLOPYes, we know.
>>12015730>Mega Drive soundtracks by Japanese
>>12016812It makes me kek everytime I see it. Audiophiles never recovered from it.
Ladies and gentlemen... I give you... Richard Scarry's Busytown.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxdezsl06sY
>>12017765Japs can't into experimental music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRn2JPHdZPQ
It was interesting to learn that the reason why American/European MD soundtracks usually sounded so different to Japanese ones was because they used different trackers completely which made the sound chip sound overall different.
The soundtrack and sheer sound engineering of this underrated game are just utterly immaculate. Japs can't even.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNW5PXif6LQ
>>12017776I guess Masaharu Iwata and Hitoshi Sakimoto weren't Japanese then
>>12017776Lmao, retard

>>12015730A few western developers knew how to use the sound chip... but I must stress it really were "few".

>>12015903>Kid Chameleon! Comix Zone!Comix Zone is really good tho(although too short). Kid Chameleon I never could get into but I could see if I had it in the early 90s without many other options I may grow to enjoy it.
