>sets the bar for soundtracks unfairly high

hundreds of songs in each game, you rarely hear the same one twice in one session, perfect mix of amateur and established sounds... it captures the transition period between punk and emo in the mid 00s like nothing else. you've got minimal hiphop, unlike tony hawk. you've got instrumentals galore, unlike tony hawk. you've got more whiny vocals in a couple games than all others in existence. they're so fucking underrated, literally every song is at least decent. if you want to time travel back to the 00s these are the soundtracks 4 U (if you're white)!

Into the trash it goes

really? that's the best you got? what a miserable cunt you are

nta but now that i'm older i somewhat agree with him. it strips the game of personality, though i dont think it's always a deal breaker. when it's just a compilation of what is\was popular at the time, then it's awful.

hmm fair point, can think of short soundtracks in racing games like flatout or burnout that felt hamfisted to me, even reusing songs between games, does become annoying and detracts from the game.

Based. Nobody ever talks about how good some of the music in the series is.

>>12005665
As someone even older I disagree, these games capture a distinct moment in time and tap into a specific subculture. That essential window into the past packaged with what was once contemporary, and in the case of Amped, even obscure is a vehicle to experience a world long gone.

Damn. I never really paid attention to the soundtracks the few times I played these way back when, and I wouldn't have known what half of this shit is then, but now I really appreciate the lineup. It's pretty great.

I think licensed music is extremely sovlful when it does that. It sets the mood, and gives you a taste of the time period a game came out in.

>>12005665
The soundtracks here are not compilations of what was popular at the time, it is mostly indie music that the studio could get for cheap but curated for a certain mood and genre.

>>12005665
Wipeout games use licensed tracks and it adds to the personality of the game (because the tracks fit the setting)
