WOW! Journey Has Just Been Nominated... For A Grammy!

So much like guiness and such they are adding in games to try and appeal to todays youth much like ignoring the thief franchise and trying to call mgs 1the first EVER it created the stealth genre game they will ignore every game released before journey that had an amazing soundtrack hell I can pull out some snes and ps1 games that had better sound tracks. whats next a game award catagory much like a metal one back in the 90's where they nominated metallica then gave the award to jethro tull?

This is proof that gaming is too mainstream now.

Hans Zimmer did the Dark Knight Rises Soundtrack which is far better. After the movie I immediately bought the OST since it was so good. Ex. The Fire Rises

meh

Zimmer has done way better than that

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"]i think some people here aren't getting the real implications of this nomination. No, it likely won't win, given the strong competition, but the mere fact that it's been nominated that matters. Think about it. A videogame, formerly an activity considered exclusive to sweaty, socially inept fat kids (and it's still considered so by a few), is being put on equal footing to Hans Zimmer to win a famous, well respected international art award. And it's not just any game. It's a highly praised, well received game from this very year. Journey's nomination is a sign of the industry's growth, not just monetarily, but as a respected mainstream entertainment medium and, why not, as a recognized art form.DarkLink77

Yeah, the guy that has the most Oscars in the soundtrack department is awefull. Its just the cool thing for the "old" people to hate on Zimmer and kiss Williams a**. I like both but Hans is in a whole other level. Rare are the films where he made a forgetable ost. Williams on the other hand... *cough* war horse *cough* war of the worlds *cough* etc etc

Most hating on zimmer while being all over Williams are just "old" pretentious wanna be hipsters. Williams made good soundtracks, but he's unbalanced. Zimmer has more or less made only great ost imo

Hell, I would even say Williams is only good at making catchy tunes, more then good soundtracks

"Many people like this guy? Let me find a old school one to bash the new, popular one", right here folks

First VGA GOTY, and now the freakin' Grammys? Granted its not going to win either of those, but are you kidding me? :|FireSpirit117

those people, whoever they are, have an audience. and it's only that audience that lets them be successful (if they are at all).

zimmer, on the other hand, is an extremely well respected musician with a curriculum that many would kill to have. he's worked on a plethora of different movies of different genres and with different target audiences, and he's been successful in most, if not all, of his endeavors.

you fail to notice something:

I didn't miss anything. You said he wouldn't be where he is if he were awful, which, as I just showed you, is false.

Zimmer has been repeating himself for years.

I never understood this... what?

Inception "Time" sounds the same as "Chevalier de Sangreal" of The DaVinci Code?

Gladiator "Now we are Free" sounds the same as "Injection" of MI:2?

Are you f*ckin kidding me? Hell, HZ made a random love scene in MI:2 looking awesome only with his music

Face it. The guy has definitely talent. He's another case of "too popular" for its own good. If anything John Williams is overrated for making a couple of catchy tunes for old school movies

Not my fault you didn't recognize them.

Oh, I most definitely agree with that. The problem is that wasn't what you originally stated, hence my first response.

Let's be honest here....Journey's soundtrack is probably way better than most of the $#!+ music that's played now a days.

Well if you want to give examples of critically acclaimed famous people that don't deserve their status in the industry, you better choose people that are actually famous. It's almost as if i'm the dumb one for not knowing stupid famous people. And that's exactly what i originally said. You don't get where zimmer is by being awful, and those people definitely aren't where zimmer is.BrunoBRS

All you needed to do was to elaborate, because what I got from your awfully simplistc statement was that he didn't get to where he is (fame) if he was awful.

Anyways, we're straying away from the subject at hand. I think he's repeitive bore, you don't. Seems like a good note to end this discussion.

That's System Wars in a nutshell, though, sadly.

That's a pleasant surprise, but not only does it not stand a chance in winning, Grammies have always been irrelevant.

So much like guiness and such they are adding in games to try and appeal to todays youth much like ignoring the thief franchise and trying to call mgs 1the first EVER it created the stealth genre game they will ignore every game released before journey that had an amazing soundtrack hell I can pull out some snes and ps1 games that had better sound tracks. whats next a game award catagory much like a metal one back in the 90's where they nominated metallica then gave the award to jethro tull?

Don't get me wrong. Journey's soundtrack is good and all, but why IT? What was so special about Journey's soundtrack to make it stand out from all the other game soundtracks through the years to get recognized by the Grammies?FireSpirit117
