Miracle of Sound: Keep Drifting (Uncharted 3)

[Truly-A-Lie]

This song is so much better than Uncharted 3. I love the first two (yet to play Golden Abyss), but that game just disappointed me at every turn. I'm glad this song encapsulates the feel of the entire series, it really reminds me what I love about the series as a whole.

Hmm, didn't finish it.

also the guitars at the end sounded like they were from Devin Townsends Ocean Machine:Biomech.

I concur, it did make think that Night was starting up for a second there.

Always nice to see Dev fans here And yes, this whole song was very influenced by Dev, in particular his more poppy stuff!

Well if there is anyone you are gonna take inspiration from, Devin is never a bad choice!

Well now I wish I still had a PS3, I completely forgot about Uncharted 3, which is odd because I loved the first one, I must have beaten it 5 or 6 times just on the first 3 days I had it, seriously I love that game, the second one was pretty good too but I beat it just one time, regardless pretty good song, it sounds a little weird but on a good way, like that guitar, I never heard something quite like it.

Oh my god, an Uncharted 80s rock anthem, you have made my life

I don't know Gavin, this one is sounds way too generic for my tastes. There's nothing in the song that really stands out or gets stuck in my head. Heck, I've just finished listening to it and cannot honestly say what the song's tune is anymore (unless that is what you're going for because I had the exact same experience with the Uncharted games)

 

[CardinalPiggles]

Never played Uncharted before because I don't have a PS3, but this song definitely makes me want to go out and buy one.

You guys are ridiculously good at looking at a game and figuring out exactly what style of music captures it perfectly. The whole 80s rock thing is PERFECT for this series. Miracle of Sound never ceases to amaze me.

I get the feeling you assume Miracle of sound is more than one person?

 

[AbstractStream]

I suddenly feel the need to put on sunglasses and drive on the freeway with this blasting. Great job, Gav!

 

[Maleval]

Never played the games, so I can't really judge how well the song fits their theme.
What I can say is that there is something deliciously old-school sounding about the song. Love it.

I'd have to disagree - It's not catchy in the same way as Commander Shepard or Gordon Freeman saved my life, but it's definitely got something. I'm going to be humming it for a while, and my friends'll probably be asking me why I keep singing 'keep drifting...' under my breath.

I haven't played any of the Uncharted games but I know the general idea, and the song fits nicely. Very 'one maverick against the world' kind of feel to it.

 

[CleverCover]

You know, this is one of those few times I wish I had the money for a PS3, because this song really really makes em want to play the game just to see if it's as much fun as the song.

People need to use you in advertisements. You'd do better in convincing me to play a game than the trailers.

I'm not asking for catchy, all that I ask for is that it's memorable. I've never played Dark Souls, and yet I can still remember the tune for Gavin's "You Died" song, despite the fact that it came out back in February and that my feelings on it were neutral. However I can't remember a single thing about "Keep Drifting" except that it has a guitar and multiple voice tracks, even though I've seen the video more than five times at this point. It's not that it's a bad tune, it's simply that there is so little that's unique or memorable about the song that nothing sticks at all.

Fair enough. I've watched the video twice and it's definitely in my head. Although, memory is a strange animal - maybe it'll creep up on you... or maybe it's just not your cup of tea.

This feels like a reworked, improved, modern version of that Assasin's Creed Brotherhood song. And it's better. Way better. Now do a Psychonauts song.

 

[BrotherRool]

This reminded me, despite 3 being the weakest in the series, there's still something very special about the games that no other game really does

I am very very jealous of your avatar

 

[Mgeneral2]

Very good song Gav! I've never played Uncharted, but i do love this song. i didn't particularly like how it slowed down before it ended, but that is more pesonal taste anyway.

 

[phantom495]

that video was great, now i actually feel like gathering my money and buying that game because it actually looks legitely fun.

Instant favorite. Awesome stuff as always.
