They should open with Concord's soundtrack and end with Foamstars select screen music.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Again this Hollywoodesque forgettable soundtracks from Spiderman, GOW 2018, and Horizon with Aloy in the background. The truly memorable ones are The Last Guardian, Shadow of the Colossus and the original GOW trilogy (this one miles ahead of Cuck of War), none of which will be the main features.

Of course, no trace of one of the very best, the one from Primal.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Ewwww horrible selection of games.

Should have just done a single Shadow of the Colossus event and played the entire OST.

 

[Radical Dreamer]

Who the fuck listens to these soundtracks? They are so forgettable lmao, like from factory.

The GOW 2018 theme is fire. Shut your whore mouth!

 

[JaksGhost]

It does say “and more” but reading is hard here.

 

[ManaByte]

In before Tommy Tellarico.

 

[skit_data]

*TLOU guitar twang*

 

[Deft Beck]

I don't really see the appeal in this. So many of their AAA games are the same, including the scores.

 

[Punished Miku]

Honestly the only memorable Sony OST would be Gravity Rush. That alone could result in a great jazz concert.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

The GOW 2018 theme is fire. Shut your whore mouth!

I will never forgive that in GOW 2018 they didn't play a version of this (1:40) in its most iconic moment. A narrative mishap.




The original GOW trilogy has an incredible soundtrack and the way it's implemented in the gameplay is perfection.

 

[GooseMan69]

Who the fuck listens to these soundtracks? They are so forgettable lmao, like from factory.

The Last of Us soundtracks are outstanding.

 

[Fake]

WTF is that selection of games?

 

[GonSama]

They just named 4 of their most sucessfull IPs.
The Playstation Concert in London had Shadow of the Colossus, Bloodborne and other IP's soundtrack.

 

[nial]

WTF is that selection of games?

This is like complaining about Nintendo doing a concert and having Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing and Splatoon at the headlines.
Seriously, looking at the responses in the tweet, is everyone being this retarded in purpose? Mentioning Gravity Rush isn't going to sell any tickets, just wait until Sony gives more information on this.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Tickets in the pro area are £700 each and no stand (ing)

No Gravity Rush... No deal

 

[Senua]

 

[Danjin44]

Sony has become such fucking dull compony.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I would give anything to go to a Gravity Rush musical concert.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Tickets in the pro area are £700 each and no stand (ing)

The pro area is standing only, you have to buy the seat add on ($100).

 

[Barakov]

We need a cringe emoji.

 

[Robb]

I can barely recall the OST from most of these.

Where’s Uncharted? Now that’d be something!

 

[onQ123]

The Hell?

 

[Pegasus Actual]

I don't really see the appeal in this. So many of their AAA games are the same, including the scores.

Ya know what. I love Bear McCreary.. but... I remember the original PS2 God of War theme even though I don't think I ever bothered to finish the game and remember no music from the reboot even though it was only a couple of years ago and I played all the way through...

So yeah this concert is probably not for me.

 

[chokotoureiki]

I'm going to be the outlier and say this is pretty awesome, if there's a Chicago tour sign me up.

 

[tommib]

Cringe.

 

[abstract alien]

This sounds awesome. I went to the Nintendo one and a general gaming symphony some years ago and had such a good time. Sony has really built up their catalog with some amazing titles, and the music has been very recognisable and established. I can see this being pretty fun, especially with meeting everyone there.

 

[bitbydeath]

GAF is acting coy now but we all know you want more of this.

 

[Cakeboxer]

Not sure what's more cringe, this or the Xbox controller hoodie. Their selection is not good, even most World of Warcaft tracks are already better.

 

[abstract alien]

Acting like God of War, Horizon, Ghost of Tsushima, and The Last of Us have bad music is fucking insane.

 

[Sintoid]

Puppetteer deserves a concert by its own

 

[Melchiah]

And of course the concert in Finland has already been cancelled. Fuck this shit!

 

[Salmon Snake]

Finland got fucked.

 

[MALpractice311]

Ok, so I hate to crap on my fellow nerds, but who in the ever loving fuck goes to video games concerts?

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

People saying all of this sounds the same. Imagine saying GOW soundtrack sounds like The Last of Us, lmao.

Y'all need to listen to more music.

Also...they were always going to mention their biggest IPs. Why are you posting about Gravity Rush and Primal? I think they want to sell tickets.

That said...no shows in Portugal or Spain? Seriously? And like 8 in Germany?

 

[plip.plop]

And none of it comes close to The Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter soundtracks.
Edit: The best music and most iconic music in video games will always be chip tunes. The first time I heard Streets of Rage especially the Boss fight transition was so amazing.

 

[Stu_Hart]

WTF is hollywoodesque? GOW2018 had amazing music. I still listen to it today on my phone along with the older games. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean everyone else share the same opinion as you. Oh, and since you mentioned "cuck" of war, I already knew this isn't about the quality of the music, but another one of those "modern gaming" rage-bait views to rile others up.

 

[Loomy]

Some of you have never gone to see Video Games Live and it shows.

 

[EN250]

It's a waste of time and resources that could go to actual games, but not gonna lie, Games OSTs are amazing

 

[chokotoureiki]

Still better than this joke of a concert

 

[Vick]

Oh, and since you mentioned "cuck" of war, I already knew this isn't about the quality of the music, but another one of those "modern gaming" rage-bait views to rile others up.

Which in the case of GoW 2018 is peak ludicrousness, as Kratos in that game specifically is manhood and stoicism personified.

Surely more than any other hysteric version of Kratos throwing tantrums we used to get in the games before.

That is one of the stupidest things I've ever read.

As if game devs are allocating employees to perform for concerts. when its most likely full time musicians that probably have never touched a game in their life.

 

[Vlodril]

Bitch eating crackers vibe.

It's a vanity project that costs money = less money for making games, that's what I meant, not saying devs would drop what are they doing to pick a flute and play GOT soundtrack

 

[SJRB]

Ok, so I hate to crap on my fellow nerds, but who in the ever loving fuck goes to video games concerts?

Are you dense? Surely you're not seriously asking why people go to concerts of music they enjoy.

 

[chokotoureiki]

Costs money? So they're doing it for free?
