If RDJ finally did the soundtrack to a video game, which
series would you want him to work on?

I think Metroid... it has that creepy alien atmosphere, and
something like SAW2 would be great for it... some scary
ominous ambient by RDJ. Listen to the Super Metroid
soundtrack for SNES, it is too damn awesome... some of the
best music I've ever heard, period. Scaaaarrryyy...

RDj's stuff is too cheesy for real videogames...i listen to
RDJ abulm while playing mario...but other than that...i
really don't see his music suitable for any soundtrack to
any vgame, or series.

Too... CHEESY? Actually, that's how I see videogame music,
as too cheesy... even the good stuff. Modern games have that
awful metal guitar all over the place, yech... Usually too
over the top or something, too much so to be released
outside the context of the game.

RDJ isn't cheesy... :-/

sorry...but that's the way i feel...but it's not really all
RDJ stuff...mostly his drill N' Bass stuff, (SAW2 can work
in some areas), and yes, there are some vgames that are even
worse...AE would make a good soundtrack to a puzzle
game...maybe even other games as well...but i don't think
that RDJ would be too great...

Autechre in a puzzle game... ha, I like it!

Actually, I think Melodies from Mars would go well in an
Earthbound game... that was one of the best and most
underrated SNES games ever. Goofy soundtrack, I think of it
everytime I listen to Melodies from Mars.

I think ol' Aphex has lots of tracks that would work well in
videogames! I always turn the videogame music off and
listen on my stereo. I Care Because You Do is the ultimate
Mario Kart music!

I could see this style in a lot of rpgs.

He should do a racing game, or maybe some FPS.

For Perfect Dark, I have to have my Drukqs mix or the tracks
on Further Down the Spiral :D

Yeah, FPS would be do-able. Especially TimeSplitters, they
have some messed up sounds in that game.

motherbound for the nes? it wasn't released comercially, but
the game got dumped into a rom, and has been circulating the
emulation scene for years...earthbound is actually mother
bound 2!

ae is way too complex for vids. the music needs to be
simple.

Earthbound isn't bad, especially with their funky bad guys
:] Like those damn disco dancers.

Has anyone played that new skidoo racing game on the PS2?
The music on the evil carnival track to that is brilliant
and I like the way the music distorts in Streetfighter X3
when Skullomania comes on.

I think RDJs more cheesy stuff would be good for things like
puzzle bobble and the nuts stuff from Drukqs would good for
fast racing games (F-Zero, Extreme G). I'd also like him to
do some SAW 1 style stuff for a sequel to Rez.

I was gona say he should wipeout's because those game fuckin
rock, but they need more of a technoish soundtrack and not
so much IDM....
I can def see RDJ music on a RPG like resident evil
sorta...maybe...i duno
