How Marvel's Spider-Man Should've Sounded

[@Sonistic]

I always thought Spidey in his games should have Rock music ever since I played the PS1 game

[@D464J]

That variety is essential!

[@johnmichael4806]

Spider-Man 2 had like rock/electronic mix type music and I always it thought it was perfect. Spider-Man 3 may not have been that good but it had badass and similar music.

[@BatMane95]

Rock, Metal, or Techno with hints of Orchestra here and there.

[@bctalicorn809]

Ultimate Spider-Man had a great soundtrack, but so did Web of Shadows, which had a very orchestrated score. I think it's less about the instruments and more about the theme itself.

[@D464J]

@@bctalicorn809 I love the Web of Shadows theme. It’s the part where it opens up with the grandiose feel (about 30 sec in) that gives me goosebumps lol

[@thecringeexterminationservice]

I personally use my own music when playing these games free roam, if this were the music I probably wouldn’t do that as often if ever.

[@D464J]

Thanks!

[@Ivan210bluboi]

Yeah ok. This is definitely how it should have sounded. Never thought the music needed to be different in the game, but this is way better. Good video

[@JamalOgunyemi]

This would fit an origins game for insomniac Spider-Man

[@D464J]

I wouldn’t mind that as a concept! Thanks for checking it out.

[@HunterSuchy]

It WOULD!!!

[@JamalOgunyemi]

@D464J no worries man, great work

[@Ashlego]

Love the lofi type feel when your not swinging

[@turmations5556]

Great music, though I feel like it'd fit a younger Peter Parker. Peter at this age may be more on the calm side, hence why the game's music never makes you feel on edge like most video games do for bosses. But a younger Peter would be a lil more frantic, trying to find his groove, I guess. One game I think would benefit from music like this is Web of Shadows, given the sparadic nature of the web swinging as well as the over the top combat.

[@D464J]

I could definitely see young Peter with this style of music. And Web of Shadows is one of my favorite Spidey games.

[@johnins0mnia584]

This oddly reminds me more of Spectacular Spiderman than the 90's show. Still great tho

[@squashmallow2006]

Okay, I gotta admit. I definitely loved this remake. I'm surprised you never brought up another game that often had ambient freeroam music. Ultimate Spider-Man. They were trying something similar but in a crude sense cuz it was still 2005. I loved what you tried here and it flowed really well. But I do believe that maybe the strings shouldn't entirely take a back seat. A healthy harmony of orchestra and rock would do it wonders. I definitely love the ambient music while swinging, but I feel perhaps speeding up the tempo when you're going faster, or adding more layers depending on your speed would do it wonders. Like, maybe it starts off ambient and synthy when you're going slow. Then you hear the orchestra with the synth when you're speeding up. Then when you hit top speed, let the rock music explode. It'll make the feeling of control even better cuz the player is literally adjusting the tempo and layers by swinging.

[@D464J]

That’s a cool idea with the swinging speed! And the layered approach, I really like too. I played Ultimate Spider-Man for the first time, I think, last year. I remember what you’re talking about. It was a cool experience for sure. (Come to think, I still need to beat the story lol)

There's a mod that adds the Animated series music tracks to replace the game music for Spider-Man Remastered, guess great minds think alike. It was much more awesome to swing through the city and fight crime to (imo). This is a great video! 💯

[@suicidalloafofbread2009]

6:18 I couldn't help but notice that you used Pemberton's Spider-Man motif from the Spider-Verse movies during this fight. Not sure if that was intentional, but if it was, it's a super cool detail

[@thomasferriez5938]

Funny, this reminds me Hi-Fi Rush or, ironically, Spectacular Spider-Man (for the fighting music) ahah

[@yungrottz112]

[@-Anonymous-.]

Personally I just wanted a TV-spot paying homage with the 90s theme song. Maybe in the future when the trilogy is done, insomniac can make one for a PS6 release of the complete trilogy lol Miles Morales has the best music imo. Act 2 free roam is mainly my favorite from Spider-Man 2. Dope video.

[@SparkySpice0911]

this is so good. I’ve always preferred the rock sounds tracks in spider-man media and you adapted it to the game perfectly

[@abhinavpanghal8069]

I think a mix of both styles would make for the best of both worlds

[@Vnugos]

Dude, this is awesome! Imagine this in Spider-Man 2 and with the remake of Miles's music, definitely would have highlighted them as different spider-men even further. You should do boss battles!! Venom-specific, Shocker, Li, Lizard, Scream, etc. LOL. Kraven would be an interesting take.

I dig the hell out of this man. It gives Spider-Man a unique feel beyond the classic comic book orchestra we've gotten since the Rami Era, and that's always great

[@algernon7272]

This is really cool, though personally I would’ve gone more alternative or indie rock to match the intro song Alive by Warbly Jets

[@JLTDStudios]

[@FilmScoreandMore]

Interesting experiment with a really high quality sound! This reminds me of the more electronic tracks used for background music in the Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Ultimate Spider-Man (2005) games (though I still prefer John Paesano's orchestral tracks). So there's definitely precedent for this style of music in Spider-Man games. It's interesting to see what this one might have been like had they gone that route.

[@D464J]

Those were some good soundtracks for sure. Thanks for listening 👍🏾

[@user-ok2bb8rg9k]

[@EspressoAddict]

Some seriously great stuff!

[@D464J]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@MatchstickMan]

Even just as an experiment, this was really cool. My only thoughts are I felt the tempo was a little slow for the action stuff. (Minus the situation with the car crash. That was perfect and tense for the situation.) I also feel it sounded more Sonic Adventure than Spider-Man Animated, because you used less distortion on the guitar. The only other thing was that it little more dynamic than I think a game could realistically do, which I think somehow takes away from the immersion as a viewer. Makes us more aware we're watching rather than playing. (But that's not really on *you* Just the nature of putting audio over an existing clip. it's not like you can or should make your music less dynamic.) I will say I absolutely LOVED the little riffs after finishing each crime. All of them fit perfectly and I need more of that. Lol. I just know this is gonna be one of those channels that explodes. You're gonna have 100K in no time. Truly awesome stuff.

[@D464J]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I was thinking a little of what you mentioned about the dynamics. One of those choices to add some extra energy to the visuals. I appreciate you supporting me and the channel 🙏🏾 take care

[@toriseistofall]

I absolutely love this! But in my own opinion I feel like the guitar and electronic elements definitely tend to work better with a arcade and pixelated type of Spider-Man game like shattered dimensions and older spidey games. Great video 🙏

[@toriseistofall]

And like faster simple games you know? Maybe this game would need a more darker tone

[@D464J]

That’s an interesting take and I could see what you’re saying too. The darker tone definitely would work in Act 3 of the story.

[@Ecargallasandra]

Ehh. I see what you were going for. This is a good effort. To me though, your new music is less emotive. I think part of it might be the pickups on the guitar you’re using, I’d use a guitar meant for metal or rock next time when recording, and Drop tune it.

[@D464J]

Hmm… interesting thoughts. 🤔

[@battleframestudios8989]

I mean the opening was fantastic but most of the soundtrack was an orchestral version of that intro. If anything it was the first instance of a truly cinematic orchestra in spiderman media. The cartoons before it had kind of a jazzy vibe.

[@D464J]

True true

[@indianruckus6412]

I think using the rock idea was good but also perhaps making it more orchestral rock would be epic like that one you say run video with spider man ps4

[@D464J]

Yeah, adding orchestral elements would help the music be more versatile.

[@NIIJIX]

The AI feel more alive in this game vs SM2

[@AbdullahKhan-tt4zw]

Good attempt. I think the light dangle of electric strings can work, but I think constant heavy rock would get mind numbing. I've experienced this mind numbness with the ATV PS2 games and would eventually have to mute the music altogether. I think Spectacular Spider-Man has an underrated OST and would work in a game since it is a mix of jazz, rock, and pop. TLDR I think light strings can be in the forefront, but heavy metal can only be background accents for games.

[@D464J]

I get that sentiment as well, and I agree. Those frequencies can fatigue the ear pretty quickly. ATV Off-road Fury 2 was the WHOLE JAM!!

[@nottoofast]

For years now I’ve been wanting to see Spider-Man media use rock music, and I think this was great. But I feel like it would work better for a more angsty Peter, instead of the one in the Insomniac world who’s pretty upbeat in and out of the suit.

[@wirelobotomy]

My go-to sound for Spidey definitely includes something among the likes of the Animated Series' theme, but with some more electronic type elements. Something like The Prodigy or Tommy Talarico's work on the Neversoft game (even tho I'm pretty sure he used actual instruments). Maybe all those trailers for the first Raimi movie using Matrix-like music has ruined my perception of the character. I don't know.

[@D464J]

That’s cool. That Elfman score is legendary, not gonna lie.

[@hujan1744]

Might just be that i am more into rock than orchestrial, but this does feel a bit more like Spider-man to me.

Spider-man's theme from the animated series is rock themed bit it is also resonating with spider-man. The theme is consistant and it also plays through within the episode as well. Your music, while it is great, does not seem to hold a specific theme to the chaacter. It's cool and its sounds awesome. But it is also not as epic as the actual theme. Cause that tjeme plays into the cutscenes, the main menu, the swining scenes and more. It holds that specific theme through out the game and it works with every scene, from his introduction in the game at the start, to epic scenes throughout the game and even plays in a sad tone duringbaunt may's funeral. Rock woul do but it has to fit within all the cutscenes and has to be consistant through out the game.
