Sound of Play: 126
What we aim to bring you with Sound of Play is a diverse sample of some of our favourite pieces from the many air-punching, spine-tingling, tear-jerking and grin-inducing videogame soundtracks we’ve heard over the years.
Ryan Hamann (@InsrtCoins) goes it alone for his final Sound of Play for 2017 with an epic medley of video game music from the year 2017.
You can download a higher bitrate version of the medley from here:

Sound of Play: 126 was edited by Ryan Hamann
Remember, it’s not just about what we like, so venture over to the thread at the top of this forum and put forward your own suggestions so that we might include them in future shows.
For those of you who prefer something more visual, here’s Ryan’s video to accompany this particular Sound of Play

I've only gotten through half of this so far (commutes and all) but blimey.
Mr. Hamann, what did you do. This is wonderful.

Re: Sound of Play: 126
Thanks, everyone! Glad to hear you're all enjoying it.
If you'd like to guess the games included, feel free to list the ones you know and see how much of it you can figure out before the video version is posted.
If you want to highlight specific parts of the piece, use the timecodes that correspond with the standalone download version, so everyone can play along.

Just adding my voice to the chorus, this is a cracker. First show I've listened to all the way through in a little while, for my sins, but a brilliant compilation and I loved the little Proustian flashbacks to the familiar but forgotten. Aside from it being a brilliant year for games, it's the best year for video game music I can think of in recent memory.
Re: Sound of Play: 126
As Ryan has thrown down the gauntlet, it’d be rude not to pick it up. There are a few here and there that I KNOW but I just can’t quite get and it’s getting under my skin. Here’s what I have so far-

Re: Sound of Play: 126
Just to be confusing, Craig’s time codes up there are from the podcast episode, so you need to add ten minutes on to mine to make them line up cause I’ve done if from the soundcloud file.

I also came here to say that I made time today to listen to this, excellent stuff man.
Also, I'm sure there's a tune from Steam World Dig 2 in there that no-one has seemed to mention yet.
EDIT - Yeah, just had a sniff about in iTunes and SWD2 comes it at 35:10 on there and at 32:40 is the battle music from Xenobalde 2.

Re: Sound of Play: 126
That was a fantastic piece of editing on that medley. Flows really well, and the mash-up sections were just brilliant. In particular the Splatoon/Yooka-Laylee and Kingdom Hearts/Yonder sections. Really impressive stuff. Prey sliding in to Nier was great too.

Re: Sound of Play: 126
Great work, everyone. I'm impressed with what you've been able to come up with so far. The video has been posted, so you can use that as an answer key of sorts (a full answer key is in the description, but it's more fun to use the video by itself).
Thanks for noticing, Scrustle! I was super pleased by how well the Kingdom Hearts / Yonder mashup fit together. It's like they're made for each other!

Re: Sound of Play: 126
Ha, I went back to put this on in the background again, while I did some bits online and ended up watching the whole thing.
Watching it this time as opposed to listening via iTunes like last time, was great.
Filled in a lot of the blanks.

Re: Sound of Play: 126
Flabyo, you Tweeted me expressing interest in some of the tracks included in this medley. I'm making a prediction: when I included the song in the mix, I thought that you, specifically, would enjoy the song from Filthook (based on the types of songs that you have requested on Sound of Play in the past). Was I correct? Or is there a song in there that you were more interested in?
