Your favourite game soundbite/song

Devrij · 27 Dec 2014 at 17:39

I will start by saying that I have an ulterior motive and am looking for a ring tone/notification sound and want some ideas. Most apps just have lots of rubbish console game sounds, so I figured I would make one for myself!

So with that in mind, what iconic game soundbites would you suggest? I'm thinking anything from game theme tunes to claptrap quotes.

I'm debating going for "they call him captain poopdeck because that's how much arse he gets!" from borderlands presequel.

Warcraft 3 - "What's that smell? Oh, BAD DOG!"

The first few bars on Secret of Monkey Island. I still get chills from hearing that even 25 years (or so) after release....

What about a turret from Portal?

I used to have the Red Queen from Resident Evil as my text tone, freaked a few people out with that one. Almost as much as the Deliverance theme did

Ooh I like the portal idea. There are a tonne I could use from that. I just didn't want some cliché like the MGS message alert.

I'm spoilt for choice on ringtones since there are so many good menu songs (this war of mine is particularly cool) but finding that message notification sound is the tough one. One sound I will never forget is the radio static from the first silent hill game.

Another one from Warcraft 3 - Stop poking me!

Just listened to that. Such nostalgia.

The lead instrument is a flute, right?

That is pretty rad actually, just youtubed it. Very funky!

SWOS theme. Every time.

Uncharted Or Socom

One of my favourite gaming moments ever. Great music.

I had portal turrret "I don't hate you" as my text alert for years, always got a few laughs

There's a map on CS Source, cant think the name of it but the music is catchy. The song is 'I see girls'

oldestgregg · 28 Dec 2014 at 03:52

Mirrors edge. I could leave it on the title screen and just sit and listen.

Snookums · 28 Dec 2014 at 10:52

Any sound that Abe makes in the oddworld series. My text tone used to be his fart and laugh.

Bubo · 28 Dec 2014 at 15:45

The brief reverberating sound effect at the very start of a wave on the Williams arcade game Defender. Might try to track that down as a ring tone myself.

RA2 - "A little C4 knockin' at your door"

Pretty sure they patched the game so that it reduced the frequency that the commander would say this, which made me sad.

Love the Unreal sp music. :cool:

One that I've no doubt posted before is the ps1 Doom music. The music on the first level, 'Hangar,' sets the scene so well :

A lot of the Team Fortress 2 dialogue makes me laugh.
