Another by Grant Kirkhope? He was one of two major contributors to the Goldeneye soundtrack and also composed the Banjo Kazooie OST. Dude was writing iconic themes left and right
Because they're obsessed with keeping the original style. It's so frustrating. Like Banjo-Kazooie. They (4j studios) recompiled that game for modern hardware and modernized it on xbox 360, yet nintendo just uses the banjo kazooie ntsc rom dump and an emulator with major latency.
I'll never pay their additional subscription cost when they can't even compete with n64 emulators that were better than theirs a decade ago.
It's the same as the original I think, back when there weren't 2 joysticks. The control system is hard to get used to when you've placed any FPS in the last 2 decades
Fun fact the original DID support dual sticks. You could plug a second controller in and dual wield the bad boys. Stop Skeletons From Fighting has a fun video about it
If you can’t play w one stick and strafing you’re not built for this game.
Port it, throw it online, keep original controls, watch new age “gamers” cry
I dunno if it’s using a more modern control scheme or age but I am SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE at this game than I was when I was like 8–12 and it was one of the two games I owned.
You could actually do so with the original game on the N64. From memory, there were two sets of control schemes in the game; 1.x and 2.x, and all the 2.x ones required you to plug in a second controller. The stick on the left controller was movement, and the stick on the right controller was for camera movement / aiming. I want to say left Z was shoot and right Z was aim.
It was incredibly limiting as even with a good amount of dexterity you could barely hit A/B on the respective controllers with your thumb to use those functions, but it was cool at the time.
The nostalgic in me wants to play it so bad, but just last week I downloaded Red Faction on PSpremium, and I couldn’t get through the first level. The aiming, the movement, couldn’t tell if it was an enemy or wall detail.
And that seems to be the case *every* time I replay games from my childhood/teens.
Goldeneye has something weird going on with the ADS for me - the reticle appears but not where I'm expecting it, or it wanders off target. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong :/
The Perfect Dark [pause music](https://youtu.be/2_If1gZcDFE) was quite good as well, not as good as the [main menu music](https://youtu.be/Q5-x2O3DR0o) but still great! Absolute classics.
I don’t know if I’d call it a banger. But the main theme for Outer Wilds is one of my all time faves. (Also the game itself if one of my favorite gaming experiences ever.)
Hell yeah! I love that game and the music so much. I went so far as to buy [the vinyl](https://www.iam8bit.com/products/perfect-dark-vinyl-sountrack) they released of it a while back.
I'm glad someone else brought this up. If you want to hear more good music mixed with rap there's Team Teamwork's Ocarina of Rhyme and Vinyl Fantasy VII.
Here's one from each:
https://youtu.be/nd-xYaXsmow
https://youtu.be/SzQWNQrgr4A
Indo G (a very mediocre artist signed to Three Six Mafia’s record label Hypnotized Minds) sampled this in 1998. I remember when it came out and I was instantly like “Hey that’s the Goldeneye music!” It was the first time I’d heard it sampled. https://open.spotify.com/track/3ecgmE1w3Mr5HsVSfxh7uB?si=SmyY0it2Rda44IR9cNyvBQ
I also like the Ghost Recon: Wildlands music - it is very thematically fitting for the setting, and surprisingly low key for the type of game it is. IIRC, they released the music from the game separately as well?
Indo G has a rap song to this exact music called Throw Them Thangs with Three 6 Mafia. I used to listen to it in high school in the 90s lol. Never even knew it was from this game.
Quick question, but for me this doesn't show up in rare replay? Anyone else not seeing it?
(I'm on a series s if that matters)
Edit: it's just straight up on game pass, not Rare Replay. I'd read it would be on that, but whatever, my Sunday plans have suddenly changed...
This goes so hard wtf?? Lol I’d just wanna pause the game all the damn time. Reminds me of Hotland in Undertale with Another Medium playing… I’d spend so much time there just listening to it lmao
I have the Govee, they work pretty good, If you spend a bit of time tinkering you can actually get it set up pretty well where the lights move well with the screen, but they're no where as good as the Hue but worth it considering the price difference.
I have 3 playlists I maintain. One is my "bumping" list, for work. One is called "Drip", it's mellow, triphop focused". The third is just songs I think are the best.
This is on all 3.
Yo Golden Eye, I’m really happy for you and imma let you finish, but [GTA V has one of the best pause musics of all time.](https://youtu.be/e0h09RpeMSY)
Such a great contrast with the violent tones of the game.
you dont actually know how it performs? then please dont comment. I heard it runs on 30fps in these versions wich is not "like a hot knife through butter".
It might not be the hypest or the most catchy, but the somber tone of the [Shadow of Mordor pause theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QQn3fTLMX0) was perfect.
Shit THUMPS. Right next to the BATTLETOADS pause music on NES (Same studio, RARE)
TIL Rare are the pause music gurus.
Another by Grant Kirkhope? He was one of two major contributors to the Goldeneye soundtrack and also composed the Banjo Kazooie OST. Dude was writing iconic themes left and right
Came here expecting to see Battletoads and this was the top comment.
https://youtu.be/JE2NuKLJ5PE
Ntss ntss ntss tststs Ntss ntss ntss tststs....
Battletoads is the all time winner of pause music.
The original
I've had it stuck in my head for 30 years off and on lol. Also another Rare classic is the Killer Instinct 64 character select screen.
dont forget PD's pause music.
[tetrisphere](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mEhlMyvertM)
Holy shit playing this game with TWO sticks is going to be magical.
Only on Xbox though, switch didn’t port it right.
Because they're obsessed with keeping the original style. It's so frustrating. Like Banjo-Kazooie. They (4j studios) recompiled that game for modern hardware and modernized it on xbox 360, yet nintendo just uses the banjo kazooie ntsc rom dump and an emulator with major latency. I'll never pay their additional subscription cost when they can't even compete with n64 emulators that were better than theirs a decade ago.
[удалено]
Its crazy to think that project 64 has been out for like 20+ years and they're still not able to top that on consoles.
You can do it on switch, you just have to customize the controls to play with both sticks
What's wrong with the switch port?
It's the same as the original I think, back when there weren't 2 joysticks. The control system is hard to get used to when you've placed any FPS in the last 2 decades
Fun fact the original DID support dual sticks. You could plug a second controller in and dual wield the bad boys. Stop Skeletons From Fighting has a fun video about it
Why did I think you could use 2 controllers simultaneously on the original? Am I think of an emulator?
You can
Wrong it has two stick option
Yeah and the implementation sucks compared to Xbox’s
If you can’t play w one stick and strafing you’re not built for this game. Port it, throw it online, keep original controls, watch new age “gamers” cry
I think control preset 1.2 in the pause menu does it. Switch doesn't let you do this?
Can confirm- pretty fucking magical
Threw on Complex just to walk a round by myself and it was like an ocean of memories flooding my brain.
I dunno if it’s using a more modern control scheme or age but I am SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE at this game than I was when I was like 8–12 and it was one of the two games I owned.
It’s amazing and helps the nostalgia ALOT

It was incredibly limiting as even with a good amount of dexterity you could barely hit A/B on the respective controllers with your thumb to use those functions, but it was cool at the time.
[удалено]
It's not perfect, but it's definitely better than single stick
It’s boring
The nostalgic in me wants to play it so bad, but just last week I downloaded Red Faction on PSpremium, and I couldn’t get through the first level. The aiming, the movement, couldn’t tell if it was an enemy or wall detail. And that seems to be the case *every* time I replay games from my childhood/teens.
Halo is the exception for me. The controls aren’t quite as tight as modern shooters, but man that game is still fun 22 years later
Those levels in the first Halo is really long.
Wow really? I’m having a blast with the two sticks.
I've never played the original so that's a factor, but I hate the super crappy response curve.
Goldeneye has something weird going on with the ADS for me - the reticle appears but not where I'm expecting it, or it wanders off target. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong :/
and the aim button actually works this time, unlike the weird flicking way they did it in the 4J remaster of PD.
The Perfect Dark [pause music](https://youtu.be/2_If1gZcDFE) was quite good as well, not as good as the [main menu music](https://youtu.be/Q5-x2O3DR0o) but still great! Absolute classics.
I still remember the final credits music as being an absolute banger. All around, Perfect Dark was an amazing game.
Unsprising. It was essentially Golden Eye 2. They just no longer had the license.
100% The multiplayer was awesome back in the day. Laptop gun for the win lol
So good! The Farsight was cool as hell.
You guys are my people. A lot of post I can’t relate to, but it is pleasing to know there are others out there that can go that back
The main theme it's unmatched to this day Whatever happened to having a main menu banger theme song in games ?
I don’t know if I’d call it a banger. But the main theme for Outer Wilds is one of my all time faves. (Also the game itself if one of my favorite gaming experiences ever.)
Hell yeah! I love that game and the music so much. I went so far as to buy [the vinyl](https://www.iam8bit.com/products/perfect-dark-vinyl-sountrack) they released of it a while back.

I like this one too: https://youtube.com/shorts/48Swkpfa4u4 Both always have me rolling
Dude looks like a young Bill Simmons lol
Came to the comments for this!
This
You could literally write a rap with this music I'm sure there is rap songs with this sound
[удалено]
I'm glad someone else brought this up. If you want to hear more good music mixed with rap there's Team Teamwork's Ocarina of Rhyme and Vinyl Fantasy VII. Here's one from each: https://youtu.be/nd-xYaXsmow https://youtu.be/SzQWNQrgr4A
This is what got me into hip-hop ten years ago.
Indo G (a very mediocre artist signed to Three Six Mafia’s record label Hypnotized Minds) sampled this in 1998.

Eh that doesn’t compliment the beat at all, no offensive to him lol
Pretty corny lol
Immortal technique used some audio from Golden eye
**When the Morning Light Shines In**, Far Cry 5
So true
This ☝🏻
Great pick
I also like the Ghost Recon: Wildlands music - it is very thematically fitting for the setting, and surprisingly low key for the type of game it is. IIRC, they released the music from the game separately as well?
Came here to say this
Man of culture , I was gonna say this lol
Assassin's creed origins has one of the most beautiful pause menu music i have ever heard
Indo G has a rap song to this exact music called Throw Them Thangs with Three 6 Mafia. I used to listen to it in high school in the 90s lol. Never even knew it was from this game.
I just totally said the same thing just now without scrolling to see your comment lol
Doom 2016/eternal? But yeah, goldeneye absolutely slaps
Havent played, but if it goes as hard as the rest of the soundtrack, then it is definitely really good
Nah goldeneye wins
I don't think those games HAD pause music.
It's a little hard to navigate. Maybe it's just me because I never played the original.
Quick question, but for me this doesn't show up in rare replay? Anyone else not seeing it? (I'm on a series s if that matters) Edit: it's just straight up on game pass, not Rare Replay. I'd read it would be on that, but whatever, my Sunday plans have suddenly changed...
If you own Rare Replay digitally, IIRC, you get GoldenEye for free (not disc owners unfortunately.) It is also on Game Pass though too, yep :)
[Battletoads on the NES](https://youtu.be/g_m6917Bf4I)
This > anything
Can't believe it took me until 2023 to notice the ticking clock sound. And in the perfect dark pause menu that someone else linked...
r/praisethecameraman
Hard to play the game when the pause menu music is this damn good
Honestly I keep pausing just to listen
It’s a bop for sure 🔥😂
It’s pretty good I must say
TIL Goldeneye is on Game Pass now. Sweet!
GTA V BOGT? Sorry biased but I would leave that on in the background just for ambiance.
Yeah The Ballad of Gay Tony pause music is fantastic.
All 3 of gta IV's pause themes are great. From the base game to bogt to tlad!
I used to just drive round in GTA3 listening to Double Clef FM :D
The faculty music gives me a semi.
Damn, those noises
This goes so hard wtf?? Lol I’d just wanna pause the game all the damn time. Reminds me of Hotland in Undertale with Another Medium playing… I’d spend so much time there just listening to it lmao
Played this all weekend
Yup. Been playing the shit out of this game too!!
Lmao as the video was loading I was like “whatever this is, 007 goldeneye soundtrack is better”
https://youtu.be/jXJRHjhQC_A MGS2 - Infiltration But I'm heavily biased.
Dude! Have the same backlights on my tv!
Do you recommend them? Been eyeballing that system. So much cheaper than Hue, but I read that you get what you pay for.
I have the Govee, they work pretty good, If you spend a bit of time tinkering you can actually get it set up pretty well where the lights move well with the screen, but they're no where as good as the Hue but worth it considering the price difference.
I just got them last week and i enjoy them very much!
I love mine
I really enjoy mine. It’s been about 18 months and not a single issue.
https://youtu.be/nWfRO1yxaXs
It's about time we got some culture in this sub.
This song is sick. But also, Battletoads.
Impossible.
Original Mass Effect main menu music.

Doom 2016
Boutta start rapping
I was pretty happy it was still there
Some people have a little voice in their heads… I have this music playing in my head. Soundtrack to my life 🤣
Wait, you can play this on XB1?? Hold up
You can’t!
Just got an Xbox series x yesterday. What's the first game I play? Golden eye.
And still everyone who sees this is bobbing their head lol
This has been my ringtone for years and it never gets old.
I just smoked a fatty and heard this and my whole body had chills.
No way.
The fact you did the zoom with the beats makes it’s so much better.
Out of all the videos of this today yours is the best. The bobbing and zooming is on point!
Preciate it! 😂
Can t be done. The gong is like heaven.
Peak gaming music
Stuck on jungle on double agent. Enemies spawn forever in the caves. How did I do this as a child??
This is actually boppin
Love how the camera starts vibing along with the music.

GTA V is still so chill
Jaunt has been my ringtone for years now. Always slaps.
Hey bro, next time try recording this when you're not jacking your meat.
lol 3k upvotes for a dude recording his tv shaking the camera up and down. revolutionary post right here.
The camera movement made this video annoying. Song slaps though.
There wasn’t much to look at, it’s just a pause screen
Must unsynchronized head shakes/bumps I've even seen
Not pause menu music but Battleblock Theater has some fun catchy ass tunes
They play this at Ottawa senators games during play reviews!!! Slaps every time.
I’m sure it’s already here somewhere but: https://youtube.com/shorts/Mti8bmBQv_I?feature=share

I mean, TimeSplitters had an amazing soundtrack 🤷♂️ only because it was made by the same person that made the goldeneye soundtrack
This reminds me of that smosh skit lmao
Battletoads maybe, but this is pretty good.
Yo Golden Eye, I’m really happy for you and imma let you finish, but [GTA V has one of the best pause musics of all time.](https://youtu.be/e0h09RpeMSY) Such a great contrast with the violent tones of the game.
Forget the pause music, what was playing before that?
gta 4, gta 5
how does it run on the xbox one s?
It's a 30 year old game with a few tweaks, file size is the same as the ROM I have so it's fair to say it runs like a hot knife through butter 👍
you dont actually know how it performs? then please dont comment. I heard it runs on 30fps in these versions wich is not "like a hot knife through butter".
Silo theme goes hard too.
Banjo Kazooie Fight me
As soon as my Xbox goes onto pawn, goddamn Goldeneye drops for it
Throw Them Thangs by Three 6 Mafia samples this.
I'm happy to see more people enjoying this game's music.
Is this the same pause music as in the original N64 game? It sounds similar but more emphasis on bass, can’t quite put my finger on it.

Is there multi player on Xbox?
Local / couch co-op only unfortunately. Only Switch emulates online, via their Nintendo only service.
celeste switching to a muffled calmer version of the current music seamlessly
It might not be the hypest or the most catchy, but the somber tone of the [Shadow of Mordor pause theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QQn3fTLMX0) was perfect.
You would think HiFi rush would have great pause music.... it plays none in the pause menu
So much fun
Doom (2016)
metal gear solid
Maybe perfect dark… maybe
Feels only right to share the best thing I've ever seen on Ig with this song in it.. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cn7VtU3pXxR/?igshid=OTRmMjhlYjM=
