I have always been a big fan of game music, and I think that some of my favourite musics ever are from video games. But lately I have noticed a trend that most game music these days is tending to lean in the ambient direction, which tends to not have any specific melody or memorability.
Now don't get me wrong, some scenes in some games and some games full stop need to have ambient music. But there are certain games that would be alot better if the music was better.
I'm not saying I want a super repetative tune that repeats the same thing every 5 seconds either. I just think that the games industry in maybe some miss-concieved rush to try and sound like movie soundtracks has lost its way somewhat.
So I think that game music is going in the wrong direction and I would prefere more catchy tunes with a good melody in future, instead of the forgettable ambient tunes that everyone seems to want to do these days.
What do you think?
