wafflemaster Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I'm in work at the moment and I have no speakers, so I can't listen to those vids, but having played all of them, as far as I can remember, none of the GTA games ever had a decent theme song worth talking about. I'm literally stunned by this comment !! Watching those videos reminded me just how good R* are at getting the theme music bang-on the money, and can say that they are all excellent, without exception. I was concerned that this thread would be affected by the continuing GTA VC/SA civil war, and that bias would count against (in my opinion) the two standout themes in the series. If pushed, I think I would have to say SA by a nose, but would certainly need to acknowledge that due to the severe epic-ness of SA, I have heard that intro far more than any other. Da Shootaz is an awesome song BTW Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/355792-favorite-gta-theme-songintro/?do=findComment&comment=1058226065 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricornus Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 My favorite is definitely the one for GTA IV. Excellent beat, and it kind of provides a feeling of Sorrow, as in the character will be sorrowful in some ways. Love it. 1. GTA IV 2. VC 3. GTA SA 4. GTA III 5. LCS 6.

Blitterbug Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 IV's was not a disappointment they just needed the space so they could not make a cool intro to the game like they did the others. Hmm - Well, perhaps disappointment was not quite the right word. You know from my posts here that I do *not* moan about IV, but a discussion over theme music's not the same as moaning, imo. I'd say the theme is ok - good, even - but not quite *epic* in the same way as LCS. That theme is a nice piece (forget what it's called, it's a march of some kind) with a beginning, middle & proper dramatic ending. The opening music for IV just, kind of, tails off. Also, different point (and just a teeny moan), if I have left the room for any reason while the XBox is booting (for a 'comfort break', say, or to grab munchies), once I get back and log in to XBLive I have to sit through all the loading screens for a minute or two in complete silence It's a shame they didn't at least restart the music if it's finished playing.

moap Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 III's music because it's just so nostalgic to me. I didn't even play III first, I played VC and SA before it, but still I get that classic GTA nostalgic feel from it like no other music in GTA.

gamesguru Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 But if we were to take the opening cutscene (GTA IV) as an intro (which I believe it is, due to the fact it has the credits, and is only shown once due to repetition; I believe the intro you have highlighted is more of a loading screen). Then IV would annihilate every one of the others. But to go along, I would say GTA III. Very classy and Sophisticated like the mafia (unlike those god damn Leones ).

blitsbebop Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) IMO the intro and credits for IV would be these two. Intro Credits (it would be much longer tho so that the credits can roll) R* needs some new idea for intros and credits.

--Vega-- Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Definently III's theme for me. After that I'd say Vice City's and LCS's themes. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/355792-favorite-gta-theme-songintro/?do=findComment&comment=1058229145 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lugez Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 1. LCS 2. SA 3. IV 4. III 5. VC 6. VCS 1-4 are all songs I really like, and capture the GTA feel well for me. I was never a fan of songs like the intro to VC and VCS. Never played VCS, but I loved VC anyway.

neo92boi Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Yo at the 2008 Spike TV Video Game awards , since I know GTA IV will get Game of the year they should have Rockstar make a crazy intro with an orchestra doing all the GTA THEMES and as Sam and Dan Houser walk out they have the GTA IV theme going smooth and then gets crazy with the synthesizers like some HALO sh!t Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/355792-favorite-gta-theme-songintro/?do=findComment&comment=1058235055 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaJones Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Well I love the song on the LCS intro but i'd have to go with Vice City. I wante to beat myself in the head with a brick everytime I started up SA because I hated that song so much.

.Ryan. Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Even 6 years on, I still love VC's theme. It brings back so many memories, and has that awesome 80s touch. IV's is a real hard edge theme, and I love it too. VC's theme IMO is the best theme ever created for GTA.

ceedot Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Vice City one for sure. The IV sucked ass. Didn't even make me excited. It was just Rockstar, then Rockstar North, and then GTA IV.

007 RoadRunner Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 1) LCS - Great guitar and a nice italian touch to it 2) IV - A bit orchestral with a subtle beat and sounds epic 3) VC - It brings that extra feel for the game like no other music has done 4) III - The jazzy theme fits the game well but not as well as the VC song does for VC 5) VCS - Nothing special Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/355792-favorite-gta-theme-songintro/?do=findComment&comment=1058235269 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenon2 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 You can't go past the synth sounds emulating that of Jan Hammer's Miami Vice intro theme, what more could you want! Oh and of course Vice City Stories comes second as Slamman just reminded me of. Heh, Jan Hammer. I'm the greatest fan of his work with the Mahavishnu Orchestra.
