Kyd has become quite the legend in the gaming industry and i really hope some orchester picks up the amazing Vermintide End Times Song.

[@626joshua]

Ezio's Family theme is now the Main Theme for the Assassin's Creed franchise.

[@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent]

One of if not perhaps the greatest character and song to come out of gaming. A life many of us got to witness from its beginning to its eventual end. We ended up knowing and caring for a fictional character who in the end was treated as a person we knew. A song that would carry on long after the game that would bleed into others of the saga and almost anyone who heard it would know who it belonged too. A song that carries the soul of a character and a series. No not the soul of a character. The soul of a man. One we might never see again but will never forget.

I did not even played Assasins Creed and not know Ezio. But when I heard this music, it somehow gave me an idea what happened to his family and his life.

As someone who has religiously played the Games including Ezio, I’m very interested to learn what your impressions of his life were, simply based on this piece!

@@BoarhideGaming yes.... I usually play games like Civilization or Port Royal

[@BoarhideGaming]

@@chky7427 Then you’re quite close. Though I’d say that Ezio did not grow to take vengeance, he took revenge and then realised that hotheaded vengeance is not the way to growth. After that, he fights on for what is right, not for revenge.

Dankeschön für dieses Upload. Ich bin durch Videospiele zur klassischen Musik gekommen und denke, das ihr damit viele junge Menschen mit klassischer Musik erreichen könnt. Quasi als Türöffner. Deswegen höre ich heute Musikstücke wie die Mondscheinsonate von Beethoven. Falls ihr weitere Ideen braucht, empfehle ich das Theme von Killzone 3, Ludwig Theme aus Bloodborne und generell Musik aus dem Hause From Software.

[@WDRKlassik]

Few gain the chance of immortality. Usually its etched in stone, monuments or by tales. Ezio's however told not only by the games, but his influence to the modern world and his song. Ezio a fictional character has achieved what few has sought. Imortality. Via this song. It touches the soul of the those who have empathy and are human.

Den Soundtrack für die 3 Spiele der Hitman Trilogie hat er auch komponiert - tragen auch sehr viel zur Atmosphäre bei. Finde das immer schade, wenn Publisher/Entwicklerstudios nachher denken, die können gut einsparen, wenn sie für den Nachfolger einfach von einem internen Mitarbeiter das Leitmotiv in einen Soundtrack packen lassen und denken, der neue Soundtrack wäre genauso gut...
