Gaulish Gaming Banquet: xxl-romaster

the music perfectly fit the game

pegperegogaucho

keep in mind they made the game much more... artistic with the spikes on the helmets and armor of the enemies ^^

pegperegogaucho

the music fits that :peepoAsterixJam:

herrepsilon

yeah

I'm just now getting the chance to listen to Lafort's stuff on headphones, but I have to say: I'm glad, because I can hear that he tried. He didn't always succeed, but sometimes he did, and that's all I wanted from his remix.

One sad thing though is that the leitmotif of XXL1 seems to be less present in the new soundtrack. Like, it's not in Gaul fight and Asterix anymore.

failentin

However, I think I heard it in the new Gaul-specific track? Not sure

herrepsilon

Even in the main menu theme the leitmotif seems to be shortened

herrepsilon

es klingt an. was ist der englische ausdruck dafür? 😛

failentin

yeah, only the first third of the motif is there

failentin

but the main menu theme sounds pretty good, I gotta say ^^

herrepsilon

tbh, the Hans Zimmer style French Horn "wraaaap" sound... I'm a bit tired of it. :LUL:

failentin

just a shame that Lafort's samples aren't very good... In my opinion, the instruments somehow sound more "midi" than back then (I know, that's not the right expression ^^')

pegperegogaucho

Midi's

mr.rubinshtein

honestly remaster has some good parts regarding music

mr.rubinshtein

but... i am not gonna go back to it how horrible it is

mr.rubinshtein

mr.rubinshtein

we have been watching the gameplay multiple times already

mr.rubinshtein

mr.rubinshtein
