Songs that should've been in games with licensed soundtracks

[Homemade Dynamite 4,061]

Inspired by the various "Songs that should've been GTA X" topics, and my own "Songs that should've been in Midnight Club". Basically, what songs would you have added to games with licensed soundtracks besides GTA and Midnight Club? It's always fun to think about what you would've added to the game to improve the personal experience if you had the choice.

 

I'll start with the Forza Horizon games.

 

Forza Horizon (on Bass Arena)

 

 

 

Forza Horizon (on Pulse)

 

 

 

Forza Horizon 2 (on XS)

 

 

 

Forza Horizon 2 (on Pulse)

 

 

 

Remember, this is for non-GTA/Midnight Club games. Post in the relevant threads for songs you would've added.

This is essentially a topic about music with a slight reference to games. Moving to the music section as it's really going to be people mostly posting music from YouTube.

 

Thanks

Here's a reminder.

But, yeah, that song sounds pretty awesome. I would've put it in Saints Row IV on the Mix 107.77 or Driver: San Francisco.

I liked the soundtrack to Forza Horizon 3, and I'm glad Bass Arena included two '90s throwbacks. However, I think it could've used one more. I would've added this classic to that station to complete the set:

Oops, I guess I missed that.

 

Brutal Legend (Tainted Coil faction soundtrack):

Blood Red Throne - Revocation Of Humankind

 

It has always bothered me that the Demon faction had the smallest and least Metal soundtrack of the three available factions. Although, there's also the problem that about half of the mentioned tracks came out after the game, but regardless, I would have put these in as part of a free soundtrack update or something. Might update it with more tracks.

Saints Row IV (on K12):

Saints Row IV (107.77 The Mix)

 

 

Watch Dogs 2 (DedSec Pirate Radio or Radio Bay Nation)

 

 

Saints Row (94.8 The Rock FM)

While I believe Forza Horizon 3 nailed Bass Arena and Pulse, I was a bit disappointed by there being no dedicated rock station that wasn't label-specific. Vagrant and Epitaph were okay, but had quite a few songs I didn't care for. If they had a station like Rocks/XS, here's what I would've wanted (mainly my picks with some from Vagrant/Epitaph):

 

Horizon Rocks

 

[Femme Fatale 10,215]

Great idea for a thread, Homemade Dynamite! Cute and smart, I love that in a man.

 

 

These songs would've been great for the Tony Hawk games(RIP).

Sorry for the double post, but this video didn't want to appear when I edited my post above. So yeah, this one for the Tony Hawk games, too.

 

 

 

One more.

This came from an idea that I've had after playing Saints Row 2 again. The idea was "Saints Row 2: Definitive Edition" (a remastered version of Saints Row 2 for PS4, Xbox One and PC that includes all of the DLC from Saints Row 2; various vehicles from Saints Row 1 make a return and spawn in traffic; new activities like Piracy, which was a cut activity from the game, and also Theft and Hijacking make a return from SR1; new songs on various radio stations + new radio stations, including the cut 87.6 RFS talk station and the returning 108.0 KBOOM FM; the return of "Protect Tha Pimp" and "Blinged Out Ride" game modes in multiplayer, etc.). I've noticed that this game had two stations dedicated to their respective decades (Funk 98.4 was dedicated to 70's soul, funk and R&B, and the Mix 107.77 was dedicated to 80's pop and rock), and there was no real 90's music, which I found a litttle strange (90's rock wouldn't be included until SRTT on the Mix 107.77). So, here's my 90's station for Saints Row 2, and a returning station from SR1.

 

The Rock FM 94.8

DJ: Sludge

Genre: 90's rock, grunge, Britpop

"Your dial and your head are stuck in the 90's! Nothing but good 90's rock, only on 94.8, the Rock FM!"

Kind of thought their might be a California psychedelic/rock/classic rock station in GTA V with the likes of the The Doors and Jefferson Airplane but I guess not.

I've noticed that Saints Row IV lacked a hard rock/metal station. The closest thing we have is GenX 89, and that mostly plays alternative rock. Plus, there was an unused 106.66 The Blood logo in the SRIV game files, so I've decided to come up with the playlist for the Blood, using a mix of classic and up-to-2013 hard rock and metal music that would not fit on the Mix 107.77, similar to The Krunch 106.66 from Saints Row 2. Since Zinyak is already hosting Klassic 102.4, I figure that his liutenant, Zinjai, will be hosting the Blood. It would be f*cking awesome to gun down Zin and mess around Virtual Steelport while listening to heavy metal music.

 

DJ: Zinjai

Genre: Hard rock and metal

I actually was going to make a station myself, seeing as how it was originally going to be in the game. I believe "Deliver Us" by In Flames was going to be on the station before being moved to GenX, where it was out of place. Here's what I would've put, in keeping with the theme from SRTT.

Hmmm... I thought about the same thing. Just like in the SRTT version, mainly 2010's and late 2000's stuff with some older songs here and there. The playlist is centered around industrial metal, progressive metal and djent, but there are hints from other metal subgenres like black metal (Darkthrone and Bathory) or gothic metal (Paradise Lost).

Uh, this topic is about songs that should've been in games with licensed soundtracks that are non-GTA. But, that U2 song would fit on the Mix in either Saints Row 2, the Third or IV.

 

Speaking of Saints Row, here are a few songs for Saints Row: The Third.

I think it would fit SRTT the best.
