    This soundtrack was LIGHTYEARS ahead of it’s time. The feelings I get when I listen to it now and the feelings I had as a child playing this incredible game back then. Indescribable.

    This is a very difficult soundtrack to try to arrange; the original was so incredible that it's hard to make something that sounds better. You're either stuck trying to make it just like the original, which means anything that's a little bit off sounds like a flaw, or you have to try to "make it your own," which winds up shooting you in the foot on the tracks that sound better when they try to be more like the original.
    ...There's a number of these tracks I really enjoy.

    • @St0rmT0rnad0
      @St0rmT0rnad0 Před 3 lety +5

      I agree. There are a lot of wacky time signatures and progressions in this soundtrack, which makes it all the more impressive!

    • @watchinglearner
      @watchinglearner Před 8 měsíci

      Honestly, that's what I wish somebody would do. The Super Castlevania IV soundtrack., unaltered, save for he use of the actual instruments the SNES soundchip is trying to emulate. But of course I realize when people make music they have to contend with odd time signatures, the complexities of the pieces they're playing and all that. I'm sure many might think the approach I mentioned sounds rather boring... But still, it's not like one can outshine a soundtrack that's already perfect.

    I always find myself playing through this game. You know how people may beat a game like 5 or 6 times, with the next closest being maybe 3 or 4? Well I have probably beaten this game now at least 20 times, with the closest behind Link to the Past at around 4 or 5 times.

    La principale difficulté lorsque l'on reprend une oeuvre existante, c'est de coller au mieux à l'esprit de l'oeuvre originelle sans la dénaturer, tout en produisant un travail inspiré et personnel. Et là, ça rime avec exceptionnel, tant l'artiste a su ici saisir l'esprit de la partition d'origine en y mettant sa part de subjectivité, ses émotions, son unicité...

    This is inspiring.
    I want to help create a Super Castlevania IV remake. 2D/3D mix.
    But more CVIII-ish mixed with CV:SotN elements of retreading stages.
    More stages that the 90s game hinted at.
    The remade game should look like new renaissance & gothic artwork that the cover art pointed to.

    • @michaelcharlesthearchangel

    • @michaelcharlesthearchangel
      @michaelcharlesthearchangel Před 5 lety

      :; Hm. Multiple game modes? Classic stage 1 to stage Z and non-linear as options? Cinema mode for less skilled or handicapped players?

    • @michaelcharlesthearchangel
      @michaelcharlesthearchangel Před 5 lety

      @shadowshinobi06 :; The original game hints at least two alternate paths.
      First, the path above the cave levels. Then, the path beyond the tower where the floor disintegrates.

    • @TheGavtel
      @TheGavtel Před 5 lety +3

      Maybe having a stage select system like Rondo's (beating the stage boss that leads to the next stage will unlock that next stage on the stage select) could fix the issue of having to replay through the whole game again to reach branching paths? You still have the replayability of going back to search for the alternate paths but it also means you don't have to do it all in one sitting / use passwords (given the length of the game, the stage select might also be a good thing to have in that regard too).
      Plus you could even mix in elements of the other Castlevania 1 remakes by having Selena (the bride from Haunted Castle) getting kidnapped by Dracula at the beginning and locking her away in an alternate path. Rescuing her could unlock an extra final boss phase (just like Dracula X Chronicles), that represents the Dracula's Ghost fight from 1 / Chronicles. Failing to save her on the other hand could result in her being turned into a vampire on an alternate stage (if you save her, this boss could be replaced with a Succubus imitating her appearance).

      Yeah, the mixing really needs rework...the production in general...the sound quality is suboptimal too. It's a shame because the instrumentation and (aside from the first stage theme) the rhythm are on point, not to mention excellent additions (like choirs and horns to stage 4-1).

    La atmosfera desatinada que tiene estas versiones no se escuchan a la altura de las originales de SNES. se supone que si los iinstrumentos de esta version son mas reales que las del cartucho debia ser mejor no peor. Su gran error son los instrumentos cambiados.Aunque la ejecucion es buena. Sera porque me suena a clonada ?
    Recuerden que lo casi perfecto es casi imposible de mejorar, pues a la version de SNES solo le falto ser ejecutada con instrumentos reales para ser perfecta para el juego.

    Room of Close Associates lead instrument has to be a harpsichord. Anything else is just blasphemous.

    You're missing the very best stage theme 🤣🤣

    As much as I would like to enjoy this, your arrangements suffer from lack of dynamics and a muffled sound. For example, the drums in "Forest of Monsters" sound robotic for their lack of articulation. The compositions of this game are at times very complex and each element needs to be carefully mixed.

    I love this except the choice of instruments for stage 3-1. That flute gives it an Asian vibe that has no place in Castlevania. Just a personal opinion, with that said, the work is amazing overal.

    Beautiful renditions but It's a shame the audio sounds very compressed.

    You consider redoing this. Its orchestrated nicely but its very flat. You lost the audio depth level occupied the different instruments that the SNES produced. And that Map-A is completely the wrong choice instrument. Chimes!? Seriously?
