Nintendo wins. Hands down. No competition at all.

Overall? Paul A. Romero beats everyone and their mother. True story.

Between first parties, maybe. If you include third parties then no way. Shoji Meguro is my favorite composer and he works at Atlus (among other great composers like Uematsu, Shimomura, Takeharu Ishimoto, Noriyasu Agematsu, etc.). Shin Megami Tensei IV also has a great OST composed by Ryota Koduka:

Takeharu Ishimoto, good call.

I know he did Crisis Core's OST, it was incredible. What else has he done?

PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.


Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

-Nintendo has the best classical scores.
-Sony has the best varied scores in terms of genres.
-Microsoft has very good Halo soundtracks.

Valak Mountain (Night)

The night version of Valak Mountain is my favourite soundtrack in any game, ever! It's just fantastic!

Don't think you can get much better than Koji Kondo. Utemetsu or Sugiyama come close though. I can recently recall humming a mario song from 3D Land but I can't remember humming or thinking of music composed by Sony or Microsoft developers. It takes soul to be a composer and the original composers have soul. Anyone can orchestrate music, not everyone can orchestrate great music.

Eh? What?!
WHy are you naming the console manufacturers rather than the studios?! That is just strange and begging for a fanboy war between everyone. You should have asked which studios etc as the console is too vague eg. SotC (amazing), to CoD (dire). You just can't draw such a broad generalisation.


Honestly, you don't have much of a right to talk about generalizations and begging for fanboy wars.  Yes, this is a poorly written thread and almost no one actually 100% agrees with OP.  However, you should understand that he means Nintendo-owned studios.  I don't think anyone was confused by that.

And my point still stands. It is far too varied. You're dealing with how many dozens of studios per label? It's like saying "which are better? European cars or Asian?" It is impossible to answer as some European cars are great, some are shit, just like with Asian cars.

I didn't say that you didn't have a "point."  What I was saying was that your point was already assumed by many, and that your complaint about what this thread does is stuff you do constantly anyway.

Excuse me?

Stuff I do constantly?

I have not posted on this site for months, and have rarely posted at all, so what is this "stuff" you are talking about? Oh right - nothing.

If people had actually realised the flaw in this entire debate, then this thread would not have left the first page, yet it is on what? Page 8 now? Meaning that you are wrong; people have not realised my point and are arguing a futile question.

I didn't say stuff you do recently.  Lern2Reed.  What I was saying was that almost every post I remember from you incited some kind of fighting.  Surely you remember that?  

Also, if you actually looked at the posts, you realize the vast majority of people are simply showing off the music from non-Nintendo IP's to prove that this thread is being ridiculous.  Your "point" is hardly a point, anyway because no one really thought "OP meant Nintendo makes the music herher."  

So really, you're trying to argue something everyone already realized and the thread has moved on to something a bit different than the OP.  Are you one of those people who don't read the posts before posting?

What? The Last of Us, God of War 3, Little Big Planet, Fable 3, Demon Souls, Halo, there amazing soundtracks coming from a plethora of games.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

The music for InFamous kept me on edge all game with my surround sound headphones.

Favorite song from inFamous on the PS3. Its so different. It reminded me of a soundtrack from like the crow with experimental progressive rock. So unique in quality and style for a videogame theme song.

InFamoud-Anything for Trish (Sounds like a more progressive Tool):
