Last show of the year, everyone! As ever, I'll bump on the day of the show.

 

[XP_version2]

Great, love these shows

Little more VG love on the regular playlist wouldn't hurt either.

 

[Hendrixx]

Looking forward to this - as in the dark as you all about what it'll feature as I've since left Classic FM. Really excited to see what's chosen!

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Great, love these shows

Agreed, but you'd probably alienate Classic FM's core audience. But in a blind 'taste test' I would absolutely put a lot of video game compositions up against 'normal' classical music!

It would be interesting to see what their core audience makes of some of this stuff, especially if it were slipped in quietly like that lol

 

[iosefe]

Oh boy,I hope my request makes it in

 

[Lightning Count]

Looking forward to this, made a request for the Grandia theme, was too slow with my request last time.

 

[Dragnet]

Yes, love this so much. What a treat!

 

[giant_frying_pan]

This is on in less than two hours, folks!

 

[iosefe]

Alexander Armstrong just played some Elder Scrolls ahead of the main segment

 

[jett]

Nice, will tune in. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[ZombieFred]

Yay that time again!! Please for Resident Evil 2 Bio G Medley!!

 

[Nocturnowl]

These things just sneak up on me out of nowhere.

 

[iosefe]

Show time, everyone!

 

[giant_frying_pan]

About to start, folks! On a train for the first half of the show but will be listening thanks to good ol analogue radio!

 

[iNvid02]

80% reduction in carrier bags since 5p charge was introduced says tesco, nice

 

[iosefe]

Currently playing: Grim Fandango - Opening theme

 

[Nzyme32]

Almost missed this. I'll try and make a running list of what is played

• Grim Fandango - Grim Fandango by Peter McConnell
• The Order: 1886 - The Knight's Theme & Knighthood by Jason Graves

Cheers! I'll try and update the OP with it, Internet permitting!

They're gonna play some of Until Dawn later!

 

[Lightning Count]

Welp, because this is a "Year in review" episode, don't think our requests stand too much chance this time round.

[TheBioLover]

Despite being a mediocre game, The Order had a really great soundtrack. Damn.

 

[BGBW]

So we're going to get some non orchestral stuff like Kitty N's theme from Bust a Groove right? Demonstrate the broad variety of sounds in the VGM soundscape.

Obviously not that particular track since that's not a 2015 game.

Highly unlikely.

 

[iosefe]

i had considered getting it on Black friday, for the price of a movie ticket, i'm sure i would have enjoyed it

Lol. The channel is called Classic FM. They aren't going to play anything like that.

 

[iosefe]

FFX made it in on a technicality

always appreciated

 

[Lightning Count]

FFX made it in on a technicality

always appreciated

By this logic, I nominate Grandia II, it got a remaster earlier this year

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Yeah, Ori!

 

[iosefe]

WIn10 tune in app is behind a bit

 

[Nzyme32]

• Grim Fandango - Grim Fandango by Peter McConnell
• The Order: 1886 - The Knight's Theme & Knighthood by Jason Graves
• Final Fantasy X - Suteki Da Ne by Nobuo Uematsu
• Ori and the Blind Forest - Lost in the Misty Woods by Gareth Coker

Oh wow, FF stuff with London Symphony in 2016 would be cool to see, especially if I end up getting a job I'm shooting for in London

 

[Shin-chan]

I think they could have picked a more interesting track from Ori, there's a lot of great ones to pick from. Hope Bloodborne gets some love here today.

there we go, more ori love

 

[Shin-chan]

This is more like it. Now I hope we get The Hunter or Ghermans theme from BB.

 

[Lightning Count]

More Final Fantasy, I'm going to sound bitter here but fuck it, stop stroking Square's ego and give some other artists airtime.

 

[BGBW]

Lol. The channel is called Classic FM. They aren't going to play anything like that.

Well I thought it would be unlikely, but considering they're literally one of the only outlets highlighting VGM I thought they may have decided to expand a little bit. Poor Splatoon.

 

[iosefe]

peter capaldi repping that mercedes?

• Final Fantasy Type-0 - Type-0 by Takeharu Ishimoto

 

[iosefe]

if nothing else, Type-0 gave us a fairly epic soundtrack

 

[jonno394]

Not missed too much, didnt realise this was on, but FF Type 0 HD is rather damn good

edit - damn, I missed The Order, loved that soundtrack (and really liked the game!)

[Lyonaz]

Bloodborne!

 

[GeeTeeCee]

I heard The Witcher mentioned as a one of the upcoming tracks, very much looking forward to hearing music from that game again, even if it's only been a few weeks since I last stopped playing it.

This Bloodborne track is lovely, shame I don't tend to notice the more melodic tracks while playing. Too busy fearing death...

 

[Nzyme32]

Does Tsukasa Saitoh also do the Dark Souls Soundtracks? I really like the Dark Souls scores but haven't paid as much attention to Bloodborne's since I don't have a PS4 for now. I like what I'm hearing regardless

 

[DrStruts]

Dear God that final two minutes on The First Hunter just get me every time.

Was never a big fan of The Witcher 3 soundtrack, especially with regards to efforts like this.
