No Dubstep in gaming

[rob_simple]

Seems like bad news bears for you that fighting games are the most suited to having dubstep music; especially flashy games like Tekken.

To be honest OP, you're just being selfish.

Obviously it would make no sense to put it in a game like Uncharted because the atmosphere would be all wrong, but I can totally see myself laying a beatdown to this...

the only dubstep I've ever heard actually in game was in the saints row 3 soundtrack and it was fun though their use of holding out for a hero was more spectacular and noteable than a dubstep/dance radio station.

Well, there's really nothing you could do about it. Unless you represent a majority of the population of gamers or something, what the developers choose to put in their games is ultimately up to them.

Why IS it called dubstep anyways? And yeah, if the tone of the game fits with it, then I wouldn't mind.

Oh, and...

...i remember some commentaries regarding the soundtrack.
"Modern music just died, it was replaced with the sounds of power drill and lawnmower, omg, omg we're all gonna die !"

It seems that music is doing alright, apocalypse didn't happen.

Let's all just forget about this trollish thread and kill some xeno scum.

When it's done right, dubstep is brilliant.

But then again, this site is predominately populated by 'metal heads' who think shouting into a microphone and thrashing on a guitar for 8 minutes straight is the pinnacle of musical achievement.

It isn't. Sturgeon's Revelation also applies to music.

I prefer a bit of D&B with a bit of a classical touch...

I'm not a huge fan of hip hop or gangster rap, but I LOVED it in the Saints Row games. Neither am I that into the gothic/industrial metal but I couldn't imagine Vampire Bloodlines: The Masquerade without it.

If it really adds to a game's atmosphere and/or it really fits the genre then I couldn't care less what kind of music it has.

Dubstep makes good background music. Alone however... it's kind of boring... not bad, mind... just lacking in substance.

I hate dubstep. Probably more than you do. It's terrible. It sounds like someone blew up some speakers by cranking the bass too high and liked the sound it made after it blew, and it caught on and made dubstep. I hate that I keep running into it everywhere.

BUT.
It should not stay out of games. NOTHING should stay out of something just because someone doesn't want it to be there. Should there be no sex in games because lots of people are rather against it and there has yet to be any legitimately GOOD narrative reason for it to be there other than to be the reward for choosing the right conversation options with your squadmate? Absolutely not.
I mean, people keep telling the furries to get off youtube. I have yet to see a legitimate reason to have furries on youtube (as in, there's no furry Egoraptor or Equals Three on the site. There's some good, entertaining material on youtube and furries haven't contributed much to that (well, there's Nyancat I guess... +1.)) but I still get pissed when people act like it's THEIR rightful, sacred sanctum of non-furriness. Like, serious high-HORSE issues there.

One reason is that while human sex is not allowed on Youtube, there are a lot of animal mating videos on it, and people blame the furries.
Dubstep suckt vo dood, stop et i jen ol.

Whoa. That's not furry. That's zoophile territory, there. Of those furries that do watch/draw sexual stuff, most of them think pretty lowly of zoophiles. Even more just don't touch the stuff, even if they're more accepting.
We do have strange views on sexual stuff... so it's perfectly OK for little Billy to watch monkeys going at it, but watching humans mate is a huge no-no? I feel like we're sending the wrong message...

I know, but people blame furries anyway. It's easier than differentiating.

I'm pretty sure there was some dubstep in Need For Speed: Shift, but I may be mistaken

 

[AlexLoxate]

No dubstep? I take it you never played Machinarium.

 

[Knight Captain Kerr]

This is a good thing. Lets keep it this way.

 

[Musiclly enhanced]

i think this guy is getting mixed up between dubstep and techno, i dont like either of them but for people that do there is a difference between them so im guessing thats why people are getting confused.

 

[akibawall95]

Railworks dubstep, can anyone surpass this?

It's beautiful!

I agree with what most people on this thread are saying and that is, it depends on the game. Personally I love dubstep but I would not want to hear it in games like Diablo or Skyrim. I think dubstep would best fit in with futuristic, fast paced action games but there is always exceptions.

Some of my favorite game music ever is from Xtreme G 3. Not dubstep, but pretty intense techno.

 

[dills2]

i like any music if it fits the game

 

[Jdb]

It's fine if it fits the situation's tone.


Creepy.

I like how everyone in this thread puts youtube links to brostep and claims it's dubstep.

Dubstep has been around since about the year 2000 - 2001. If you started listening to it 6 months ago and hold Skrillex as the key artist working in the genre, you're limiting yourself.

bad news bears

I spy a LAGTV fan!

There is Dubstep I like and then there is dubstep that everyone else seems to like. For some odd reason I seem to prefer what most people think is terrible while I think that what most people listen to is straight up unbearable.

I like smooth dubstep, not that harsh screechy stuff everyone else seems to love. DJ Ephixa's Zeldastep stuff is amazing and that's about the only thing me and my friends can agree on regarding dubstep.

In games, I don't think dubstep really fits in, at least, I can't see a way it would fit in, other than games designed around the music... Mind you, I did have an idea for a game based on a dubstep song I listened to...
