Stolen music in video games

in david wise's defense that was just one of the default presets on the roland cr78 drum machine phil used for face value

...

This whole game and it's pretty good

What about vidya music ripping off other vidya music?

The original: youtube.com/watch?v=rBxrmB3Sdzw

The rip-off: youtube.com/watch?v=RkkbWl9uOeM

...

...

That's clearly an homage, though.

METAL GEAR? Nope

Not Metal Gear either…

And here's WHY all this music sounds the same

Repurposed is different than stolen.

The same musician who made that track worked on the Sonic 3 soundtrack.

James Bond in Hyrule Castle?

fpbp, and the game would not be the same without it.

Sounds a lot like Terry's theme in Fatal Fury 3.

...

Thanks Kenji.

Ew

...

The process in the game industry is a little different, and a little more blatant if you choose a song that already exists. This is especially true for earlier games where nobody would ever notice if you ripped off somone else's music and just used it in a way that works with your game.

Is this why some games never get sold as roms?

I thought some of unreal's music sounded very similar to panzer dragoon saga's.

Seems to take the medley from the main theme of PDS, but easiest compare the track surfacing to premonition of war.

Saints Row the Third was rife with stolen and uncredited music. And in some cases: Stolen and miscredited.

It's like Volition blew all of their money to license a Kanye West song and stole everything else.

...

Christ, Volition really is an awful company. The more I learn about them, the more I'm convinced that Saints Row 2 was nothing but a fluke.

I forgot how much I really liked that song.

Isn't there developer commentary where they outright admit that Saints Row 2 literally was a fluke?

...

Thick > Skinny
If you won't fuck mark with how he is right now. You don't deserve him when thin.

Yeah. There was a webm floating around here a few weeks ago about it, but I didn't bother saving it since I'd already seen it. It's mind-boggling how one of my favourite games and one of the best GTA clones ever made paradoxically exists because of laziness on the devs' part.

I'd say "Heavily inspired". There's enough difference in the melody that it's not a straight up stolen track. Definitely stole the opening riff at least.

With the Payday one, considering the game was based almost completely off Heat, it makes sense to do an homage to one of the big heist themes from the movie.

Meryl's theme.

SO HOT IN HERE

I am somewhat convinced now that the only reason Daisuke Ishiwatari's original Guilty Gear music was so good is because he ripped it all off from existing heavy metal tunes.

All the Parodius games feature cool remixes of classical music.

Blame Hans Zimmer. Untalented kike he is shitting out the same shit over and over.

Glad to see you're still alive Phil

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but Phil died like two months ago, user.

Also I know of one animu rip off
Sign of the times by Harry Styles rips off the End of Evenglion song

He died a few years ago user.

Then who the fuck is OP

wrong

Made you look it up. :^)

thought you meant me tbh

Yeah, it's a testament to how lazy sound designers are when you hear the imp sound effects on things like fucking camels in a movie.

Yeah, but you have to admit it works.

The Final Fantasy theme is stolen from the end of Mr.Blue Sky by electric light orchestra but nobody seems to notice.

What's it ripping off?

Hope you're having a laugh. The imp's noise is a camel mating call.

Okay that I didn't know, but you can hear the same sound bite used in that netflix snake movie and at the time the camels were definitely not mating despite how I typed that.

All Guilty Gear themes are heavily inspired by metal and rock songs, specially in the opening riffs
Fuuga and Live Wire
Suck a Sage and Loved to Death
Get Down to Business
And all of Sol's themes and Queen. Embed related, for example, with Get Down Make Love and Keep Yourself Alive

Don't forget that the entire plot of Saints Row 2 was a complete accident unless that's what you're referring to, it was during a stream where Volition actually admitted that the ending of Saints Row 1 was supposed to be completely different, but because of a animation fuck-up, it threw the plot in a completely different direction.
Sage for off-topic.

For Jazz Jackrabbit 2, Alexander Brandon lifted a pretty distinct melody from Namco's Rolling Thunder.
For JJ2, at 0:58
For Rolling Thunder, 0:41/1:08

The runescape one is a straight rip I'm convinced but the dude who made that also made this sweet track for Godzilla which is pretty cool.

I remember posting this one in other thread

No one really knows who the original author of House of the Rising Sun was, The Animals just made the most famous one. For that matter, Shadow's theme in FFVI also sounds very similar

But the Jetzon's keyboardist worked on Sanic 3.

We'd hit the bump limit if we listed Kenji Yamamoto's (not the same person as the Metroid composer) plagiarisms.

What the fuck, how did I never notice this?
That's all just fucking plagiarism not referencing.

It's only plagarism when the goyim do it.

turing a heartbreaking music to a up-beat tempo.. only a jew can think of something disgusting

That's kinda sad and feels lazy. When B.Poledouris composed the Robocop or Conan OSTs he focused on sensations and feelings and tried to craft something based on that. Even if you don't see the actual movie you can imagine the scene by hearing the music. You can see the same passion, emotion and technique in the work of many vidya composers.

When I make music, I always show it to people who have no clue. The result is magical: they often describe forests and rivers, or a grand journey, or something as specific as "a vampire in an abandoned castle with snow falling outside". If that happens, I consider the melody a success, so I fix the details and send it to my bosses.
I hope people pay attention to music again.

This is less of a crime. It's very easy to listen to a lot of music for inspiration and end up composing something you heard somewhere else. Sometimes it has happened to me that in the middle of making a song I felt "shit, this feels oddly familiar" and ended up redoing the whole thing because I was accidentally using something from an older, classic game. Pressure and a tight deadline will do that to you.
