For those wondering, the name of the composer who made this game's music is Fabrice Bouillon-Laforest, which is just about the frenchest name I've ever heard.
Ah yes I remember when I heard this for the first time. That moment you get close to that torch just lying there and as soon as you get close the game jumpscares you with a 200% volume sound of the lock on it appearing and blasting this bop of a track. Giving you every signal saying "go f*ck sh*t up"
And there I was, clicking this video all ready for jaunty, bouncy cartoonish theme and suddenly I get *Asterisk and Obelisk entering a demon's domain ready to throw down alongside the Demi-Fiend*
Étranges Libellules: “ok, so like, we need you to make some music for a comic tie in game. It just needs to be there, so don’t-“ Fabrice “balls of steel” Bouillon-LaForest: “capture the terror and dread a Roman recruit felt hearing a carnyx billowing for the first and last time in the mists of Gaul filtered through the lens of hardcore rave techno, got it!”

Yeah, this is the edgiest Astérix and Obélix has ever been, also visible in the character designs who're much more detailed than you'd expect. This really isn't representative of the rest of the series which is more focused on whimsical humor and slapstick.
@@Thornskade I mean XXL, XXL2 and Olympic games were one of a kind games for asterix, lots of video game references, edgiest design And for the later an adaptation that completely reinterpreted the base material (for the better in this case)

"The Gaulish Village is the finest in Brittany, trained by Asterix and Obelix" "Bah! We are the Romans. Caesar's blades. Those who stand against us fall."
Amazing that after all those years, this track finaly got some more attention just because of a tumblr post. But kinda cursed that the gaulish now have way more views and comments then the Roman Empire ngl.
Played this game a whole lot in my childhood and this track just stuck with me so hard Might be the origin of my weird ass music taste lmao I remember walking around Normandy which I believe had a very calm practically non existent soundtrack and then an enemy would notice me and this banger would start playing It's just so over the top that it barely fits the game and the area but still somewhat does..? I'm so confused about this, all I know is that I cherish it with my whole being
Cannot fuckin believe the greatest wang bangin spine snappin bop hopper of a music piece was made for some French people's comic turned game. What a wacky world we live in.
I saw a few people compare this to the final sonic vs. shadow theme in sa2, so now when I hear this song I just imagine the viking dudes running around on the space colony ark
just bought the remastered on pc, I used to play this on ps2 as a kid. My god what a weird kids game, i loved asterix and obelix but this game was so weird in many aspects, scary even at some points.
The boss fights. Terrified of the music. Too damn loud. Funniest part the teeth grinding isnt even part of the boss machine's noises, it just sounds like a machine running normally . And the dank caves in normandy. Egypt, helvetia, rome, gaul were fun...but normandy and greece not so much.
some composers just take their jobs very seriously and enjoy their creative freedom, like virt in that adventure time game (hey ice king why'd you steal our garbage, bizarrely a reworking of zelda II gameplay) where he kinda apes anamanaguchi for that deep 2010 sound
@@Mindless0 prolly its that and also the weird samples used with it. im not very cultured in music to be perfectly honest with you, so that’s what i compared it to in my head.
The reason no one can generally understand the lyrics is that they're in ancient Gaulish, which is no longer spoken today but still has some cognates in French. Roughly translated, the lyrics are: You were my bothersome neighbor who did not know what fear was In those days we were like children ignorant of the world You were my bothersome neighbor who did not know what fear was In those days we were like children ignorant of the world Then the great and terrible Romans came and took our innocence They showed you that you were not invincible Then the great and terrible Romans came and took our innocence They showed you that you were not invincible Is that why you betrayed us and joined them?

He's bullshitting, this sounds nothing like gaulish. It's highly unlikely Laforest is conveniently fluent in this dead language, besides he has a habit of inserting gibberish spoken by himself into his soundtracks
creators of Asterix and Obelix XXL: hey we need you to make a cool boss fight theme for this game about cartoon Vikings Fabrice Boullion-Laforest, about to create the most primal, raw breakbeat ever heard: aight bet

Flashback to hours of clobbering in the normandy. The Levels gave so much trouble as a kid I suspected they made it extra hard so they didn't have to design levels after that. (I was very young and very offline)
hey no problem, i was stoned outta my mind when i made that post and at least 3 dozen people have left me heated replies for calling the viking men scrimblo bimblos
@@FlamingPork YOU CALLED THE WHAT, WHAT????? But ngl the proportions of the vikings in this game are mad funny, they're deadass built like a reversed triangle

Damn I'm just re-listening to the soundtrack and I was surprised to see the jump in views and comments lmfao, happy to see people are interested in it
So true!
yeah goddamn bro
hell yeah
For those wondering, the name of the composer who made this game's music is Fabrice Bouillon-Laforest, which is just about the frenchest name I've ever heard.
Only thing this name needs is "Jean" at the beginning to be even more frenchest :D
@@The15Sonic Jean Fabrice as a first name is the sweet spot between absolutely corny and absolutely average
It sounds like a fake name, which just makes it funny.
Jean-Baptiste Baguette-Fromage's childhood friend
😂😂
I just love the fact that this game got a crazy electronic soundtrack and not just some uninspired cartoonish music
The game's soundtrack kicks ass a lot harder than it should've.
Right? This soundtrack is a massive inspo for me
I guess it wasn't called "Kick Buttix" in US for no reason
Xxl2 goes hard too

Cannot fuckin believe the greatest wang bangin spine snappin bop hopper of a music piece was made for some French people's comic turned game. What a wacky world we live in.
why the FUCK does this go so hard
Best song in the game.
The best one is the Boss Fight.
Your opinion.
I like all of those!
@@chartex8837 If you're replying to me, I just said that to trigger "master gwonaman" guy. But I do think boss fight is best imo.
I saw a few people compare this to the final sonic vs. shadow theme in sa2, so now when I hear this song I just imagine the viking dudes running around on the space colony ark
Counterpoint: Sonic and Shadow running around beating the tar out of Romans.

Hearing this on my workouts fr
Edit: Play this when you want to break your personal records. Works amazing.
Legend say that preworkout uses some of the same materials the two gauls use for their potion
This soundtrack is so weird, I love it?? Ain't never even heard of this game
i love this game and every single one of it's soundtracks
this song makes you 10x times stronger in a fight approved
CAVEMAN BREAKBEATTTTTT
🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺
I'm not surprised this is the most listened music in the ost
ive been reading the asterix comics since like 2015 because my dad showed them to me, now that I know there's a game I'll be sure to buy it on steam!
It is what the Gauls would have wanted
if you played this to a gaulish tribe they would bust instantly
I don't fucking know what they're saying, but they're spitting fire 🔥

apes sounds almost derogatory for the legendary jake kaufman, to be more generous I would say he channels the energy of anamanaguchi. Strongly.
The Hey Ice King soundtrack FUCKS the Gunter fight theme will never escape my brain
IM CRYING WHY DOES THIS SOUND SO GOOD AND WHY DOES THE BEGINNING SOUND LIKE A MACHINE GRL SONG 😭😭
Just cause it uses a breakbeat sample? Lmao
@@Mindless0 prolly its that and also the weird samples used with it. im not very cultured in music to be perfectly honest with you, so that’s what i compared it to in my head.

you could blindly play me this song and id go "hmm... is it from beatmani? how about some obscure ddr ripoff?" no its from whatever this is
0:58 FUCK YEAH!
yes XD
that is completely sick
Sounds like tribe ! Love it !
This, "Sharp Cliffs" and "The Slide" are my favorite Sound Tracks! =D
This is my most favorited fight music
These voices samples really are Great Value Rammstein Lyrics sample. 😄

you’re not slick we know you ripped that straight from tumblr 😤

Ain't trying to be slick, just trying to share the funny 😤

0:56 thats extremely similar to the "drop" (not sure if thats the word) of devils never cry
0:56 dundundnundun chidori xD
0:07 "Three battalions, as agreed"
If you increase the pitch by 12%, this part: 0:58-1:10 will sound like the tune in "Sharp Cliffs".
Ah, the soundtrack. Epic as always :)

whys this so good
u can feel it , to stay like hrs at the Slide entrance to enjoy the music ;D
This track could be played in a DnB party
Does "XXL" stand for "extra extra large" or is it roman numerals?
Both, it's a pun
stars don’t twinkle, the moon doesn’t-
… wait a minute
I'm glad at least someone else has had that exact same revelation
lmfao now I wanna make a mashup, I don't think I'll ever finds the stems for this track tho, it's such a niche soundtrack
what was this guy cookin
Cant believe they hired the vocalist for the new atlus game
0:57
First ten seconds it's sounds like ost for Borderlands 2 COOOL
A lot of you seem surprised that this song goes hard, why? Of course it goes hard they played this during the real World War II.
