[RESIDENT EVIL 2 REMAKE SPOILERS]

Recently beat Resident Evil 2 Remake and the final boss theme I love due to the sense of urgency and terror behind it. Just as you're escaping from the lab that's about to explode, Mr. X who you've been running from the entire game jumps onto your elevator platform and with the timer ticking you have to kill him in his weakened yet more physically powerful state. Many people have reported not even being able to finish the fight as its hard to complete if you haven't been wise with ammo conservation around the end of the game so it makes it all the more rewarding when you finally finish off the monster with the little ammo you have left while this music plays in the background.

Nice to find another fan of Ryu Umemoto and PC-98 music! Over the years I've been adding to this playlist of PC-98 soundtracks. It's a work in progress, but it (currently) is a collection of almost 100 tracks from a wide variety of PC-98 games/visual novels: PC 98 OSTs Link

And truly, RIP Ryu Umemoto. His compositions were such an inspiration for me, I literally dedicated my visual novel (Digital Seclusion) to him:

Nice I recall someone who had a PC98 website up that introduced me to a lot of VNs. YU-NO is definitely my favorite work of Ryu, but Eve which I'm playing through now is a close second.

Cool VN too. :NepYay:I had a similar idea for something like that. It reminded me to look up Sayonara o Oshiete again.

I would love to direct you to this lovely lady's channel. She does some beautiful covers that never fail to move me to tears.

I love this, and below is another banger from that soundtrack in its original form:



This one used to be the theme for Eve Online around late 2003/2004. I remember spending ages just listening to it as I made my character. MMORPGs were a new thing back then (plus video games in general were niche) and the scale of it all was just so utterly new to me, and I still come back to it sometimes because it evokes a feeling that nothing else ever has.

Soundtracks from the mid 90s to early 00s tend to hit a nice sweet spot of being influenced by contemporary dance genres while still remaining video gamey. The first Wipeout (1995) does a really excellent job of that. The following games in the series relied more heavily on licensed music from big artists. They showcase some of the best electronic music of the 90s but they also lost a bit of the videogamey quality that only music tailor-made for that purpose tends to have. Gotta love the Zero-G vocal samples in here as well.
