Ikari Warrior Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I was debating of whether I should put this in "music" or "video games", but I'm more interested in people's favorite racing game soundtracks are, or if you listen to your own music, and shut the game music off. My favorite music is from Out Run 2. I love "Splash Wave", but the other two tracks from the original outrun are great, too. So, how 'bout y'all? Quote Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 It depends, when I'm playing Civilization or a strategy type game I will. Blind Guardian + Rome: Total War = love Or if I'm playing my DS in my chair I'll kill the volume and listen to music. Quote Link to comment
J-Stop Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I like most of the soundtracks to the Gran Turismo, Ridge Racer, and Initial D series, so i'll let them on. But most console racers have a tendency to be repetitive. It depends, when I'm playing Civilization or a strategy type game I will. Blind Guardian + Rome: Total War = love Or if I'm playing my DS in my chair I'll kill the volume and listen to music. Did you get lost at the word "racing"? Quote Link to comment
Adam Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Ridge Racer for me. Music type is the one I like so.. Quote Link to comment
Alundra Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 When I am playing WoW, it's mainly Rush and Shadow Gallery since I need something that will keep me going yet not get me too excited like something like Angra. For racing games, I only play Gran Turismo, but usually the soundtrack is barely audible. I put on Royksopp when I'm about to do an Endurance run. I remember doing the Pikes Peak 4 hour Endurance run 5 years ago listening to some weird techno music before I discovered the wonderful world of metal. Quote Link to comment

Ikari Warrior Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 *LOL* it's all good, I was considering making this thread a general "what music do you listen to when playing video games" thread, but decided I wanted to be a little more specific, particularly since I've been listening to the soundtracks to burnout 3, NFS: hot pursuit 2, and Out Run 2.

Belial Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 When I'm playing EVE Online I usually jam out to a mix of Radiohead, Aphex Twin, The Mars Volta, Muse, Tool, and then anything spacey that I can find in my Media Library. As for racing games, I usually would jam out to whatever classic rock songs populated my X-Box's HD. Usually something like Tom Petty's "Running Down a Dream" or Hendrix's "Cross Town Traffic".

Ceraziefish Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 The Offspring. Yes, they're not great. But Crazy Taxi 2 did me in. I cannot do well at racing games without hearing them now. Quote Link to comment
Ikari Warrior Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 The Offspring. Yes, they're not great... Whaddaya mean? The Offspring ARE great. Admittedly, I have to be in the mood to listen to them, but it's certainly music to drive/play to. I like to listen to Foo Figheters, myself. Quote Link to comment
Anime Gee Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Hahaha! I thought this thread was about actual real life racing. I don't listen to music in the car when I'm out flogging it in the canyons or on a road coarse. I need to hear the motor, the tires, & all the other clunks & noises to make sure that I don't eat it. Hahaha! ( ^o^) <3 But yeah, whenever I would play Gran Turismo, I would always turn off the music. It got annoying after a while! \(>o< ) Quote Link to comment
Crube Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Burnout 3 is pretty fun. I listen to Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, BLAZE, and so on. Quote Link to comment
Natsu Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 99 Red BalloonsI frickin love listening to this song when I'm racing Quote Link to comment
thebornotaku Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 The Initial D soundtrack is pretty awesome. However, sometimes i kill the volume and listen to some other techno i have, like Durude or Aphex Twin. Quote Link to comment

Ceraziefish Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I'm really tired, and I was just checking the Hentai section. I read this thread title as "Favorite Raping Music." Quote Link to comment
Ikari Warrior Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 I read this thread title as "Favorite Raping Music." Which would be...what, exactly? :P Quote Link to comment

Ikari Warrior Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 I was thinking more rob zombie or something along those lines, but to each his own, I s'pose. Quote Link to comment
thebornotaku Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 All the racing games that have released recently have shitty soundtracks, but the Gran Turismo 2 soundtrack was cool. And just for the hell of it I ALWAYS listen to di.fm's Hard Core station when playing WoW. I generally listen to ninja music like Kung Fu Fighting. /o/ Or when i am in the BG, something epic and war-like, like Gettysburg by Iced Earth (which fits the bill perfectly and is long as fuck) Quote Link to comment
ROCKSTEADY Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Trance, trance, trance, trance. Quote Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Trance, trance, trance, trance. A lot of trance is just a really good soundtrack for anything, though. Trance makes my commute by bus epic. Quote Link to comment
Natsu Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 the German techno music from Super Troopers.. god I want that song so bad. Quote Link to comment
