GUITAR HERO WORLD TOUR GUITAR ROCK BAND 2 FULL
No Man’s Sky boasts a full soundtrack by Sheffield noiseniks 65daysofstatic, which the band released as an LP in its own right and have played live as a complete set (including at Barcelona’s world famous Sónar dance music festival). From putting together soundtracks featuring legendary tracks (see the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and Grand Theft Auto franchises), developers are now commissioning artists to write full scores. Post-punkers Yard Act had their “Overload” featured in FIFA 2022, which introduced them to a much more globalized audience than their somewhat anachronistically English sound would pick up on overseas radio playlists. These days both publishers and performers are a little more savvy. 30 years before Glee gave Journey a reboot, they starred in not one, but two games – 1982’s Journey Escape on the Atari 2600 and the 1983 Williams coin-op title Journey where the player flew round in a spaceship trying to retrieve the band’s instruments (why their kit was in space was never quite explained – perhaps a considerate time traveler was trying to save generations future from “Don’t Stop Believin'” and launched it?). Bands will often look to expand their reach through featuring in games. Video games and music have shared history – they’re both (broadly) trying to appeal to a similar market with money to spend on entertainment.
