Yoko Shinumura

Yuzo Koshiro has been in the game since the beginning and is still pumping out content

Georgy Sviridov

Koji Kondo, Tsukasa Tawada, Yoko Shimomura, and many more.

Motoi Sakuraba

Why so much hate for Mitsuda?

Does this play during an alien-themed boss fight or something?

Yasunori Mitsuda
Akira Yamaoka

Nobuyoshi Sano

he's still putting out great solo stuff, even started his own company that puts out KORG synths on the DS systems.

board shop was my favourite track

Yoko Taro

Keiichi Okabe

Composer, Character designer, Game planner, Voice actor

Kojima?

Shoji meguro.

>Yuzo Koshiro

youtube.com/watch?v=P_fL8jAm-kg

I think he started his career at like 19?

Michael McCann is good

>Tomohiko Sato
His last known video game work was on the Fullmetal Alchemist games and some other PS2 titles 2009.
Other than that, yeah, he seems to have taken a step back from industry work.

Shoji Meguro. Damn near everything he shits out is fucking great. is also fucking excellent.

I can't believe i'm the first person to post Martin O'Donnell

Look at all those weebshits
Jeremy Soule coming through as THE BEST (he's also an American) and most underrated composer in history of gaming

>I can't believe i'm the first person to post Martin O'Donnell
fucking weebs man they don't know shit about good music

here come the faggots to ruin another thread

While not my favorite, Spence Nilsen was one of the first composers to catch my attention growing up.

Kenji Ito

Akira yamaoka
Martin O'Donnell

Im not really sure if either of them are still in the industry. Marty might still be composing for Destiny but I have no idea

Hey man I didn't bitch about japanese composers, I just posted my favorite.

Koji Kondo is my second favorite after marty

Bungie fired Marty because marty wasn't okay with how much creative control activision was having.on destiny

There was a huge lawsuit

Eventually he went off and formed his own studio with another ex bungie employee, they are making a PSVR game called golem

>He also worked on Tekken
Holy shit

Uematsu is pretty good

Some tracks from the mobile game he is working on right now

Ko Otani; he's mostly just composing animu shit since SotC.

Pretty much tied with Toby Fox for me. God knows what he's doing.

Tim Follin

He gave up on the industry some time ago. He never had a chance to work on a well known game or franchise.

It's a tie between Yoko Shimomura and Keiichi Okabe.

I didn't like Undertale as much as I thought I would, but goddamn, that OST was legit.

Yoko Shimomura

They finally have her doing something other than fucking Kingdom Hearts, as she'd composing Final Fantasy XV.

Hidenori Shoji for F-Zero GX and Yakuza

I like Ian Livingstone's work at the grid and Formula 1 games. They are so chill and atmospheric, and high energy when they should.

This is the only attention SBK's soundtrack has received in years.
youtube.com/watch?v=XWEyTvK7sVs

Damn. That really sucks. His work is god tier

breddy gud

I never plated Undertale, but I hope Fox keeps making music. That game had a fantastic soundtrack.

It does suck but bungie was clearly going down the shitter anyways, Joe Staten left a few months prior to marty being fired, and I think either Jason Jones or Marcus Lehto left a year prior to that.

Staten is ironically back at MS now.

>This song is free to download
>But not his Snowboard Kids 2 song

But this track is terrible.

>only do full OST for one game
>it's absolutely amazing
>the game can't use it because the gameplay relies heavily on hearing wear the enemy is
