Let's talk about the incredible role music plays in video games. It's not just background noise, it sets the whole mood! Think about the haunting melodies of 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time,' the epic score of 'Assassin's Creed II,' or the sea shanties of 'Black Flag.' These soundtracks are just as important as the graphics and story in creating the game's atmosphere. Try this experiment, Fight Cleric Beast in Bloodborne with Music turned off and see how it becomes about 10 times easier and you will realize the impact of music in creating environment, in this case of tension. I am really hoping that the remakes of these games keep that same epic feel in the music. I am especially excited for the 'Prince of Persia: Sands of Time' remake. What are some of your favorite video game soundtracks? I am new on YT Music and want to steal ideas for an epic playlist. Originally published as LinkedIn Post
