I'm so glad this is something that stuck around. It feels like a proper tribute to these games while also feeling appropriately grand for the final award of the event. My opinion about the Game Awards changes by the year but this is always so good.
Literally, never imagined it would work so well fully orchestraed. I understand why they didn't switch up the beat to the OG 7/4 as to not mess the medley... but, it could've real freaky in the best way
I only just found out that Lena Raine was in the Game Awards Orchestra 2018. Look how happy she is! Playing her award-winning OST of Celsete, alongside Hans Zimmer.
This is one of my favorite moments in all of the TGA ceremonies, and I wish they were able to bring more original composers to perform music for their own games in these performances
Favourite song from each year 2017: Persona 5 2018: Spider-Man 2019: Resident Evil 2 2020: Doom Eternal 2021: Metroid: Dread 2022: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 2023: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom 2024: Balatro My favourite year is probably either 2020 or 2024
I still think it’s kinda funny how Stray doesn’t have a defined song but instead of taking the intro or the first stage they took a silly quirky song such as “The Way You Compute Tonight” and turned it into a musical masterpiece that could easily transition into Elden Ring is kind of funny. I’m never gonna get over that. Also the Balatro theme is just so good here too
Lorne Balfe is no slouch, though! He does a fantastic job bringing the trumpets into key in the background during the transition. I think he turned a challenging transition into a real highlight
He was always there he only got more camera since that awesome Xenoblade chronicles 3 theme. He also played the score of Ghost of Tsushima promotional orchestra in 2019 TGA.
The celloist at the start is Tina Guo, she is an amazingly talented musician. She has worked in Hollywood for years and mainly collaborates with Hans Zimmer in film scores.
Saw her live with Hans Zimmer a few years back and when she went off on Pirates I was in Awe! She's awesome. th-cam.com/video/P5JplB64m5U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9VUzEiQxE9-4hksq
@DanAllenGaming Cool, I hope to see her live with Hans Zimmer if they come back to Singapore. She and Hans did perform in my home country 🇸🇬 a few years back when my country was hosting Formula 1.
Yesterday After hearing the orchestra of 2024 i hope someone could have done a compilation of all the other ones and you just uploaded this master piece. So grateful for this. Thank you!
2018 concert has a special place in my heart... There is such variety in each game's theme but they are amazingly recomposed and connected to feel like a holistic performance. Also the games that year just happen to have some of the best and most iconic theme music too!
i like game awards orchestra 2019 where they started to used the intro of game awards then transition song every game nominees end in same intro.... it was amazing/gem to listened every performance of game awards ..as long flute guy is there solid every performance
Thanks a lot for putting this together! There are a few I missed like 2023. My favorites are 2018 and yesterdays (2024) one. Definitely enjoyed 2024 more than any other. Amazing!
Favorite medley from each edition between 2017-2024: 2017: Persona 5 2018: God Of War 2019: Control 2020: Ghost Of Tsushima 2021: Metroid: Dread 2022: Elden Ring 2023: The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom 2024: Balatro As for my favorite editions in general, I'd probably rank them like this: 1. 2018 *(10/10,* all-around perfection, with each and every game having a phenomenal medley and also every game eould deserve the GOTY that year) 2. 2024 (9.5/10) 3. 2023 (9/10) 4. 2022 (9/10) 5. 2019 (8/10) 6. 2021 (7.5/10) 7. 2020 (6/10) 8. 2017 (5/10)
My favorite part of each year: 2017: Super Mario Odyssey 2018: Celeste 2019: Resident Evil 2 2020: Ghost of Tsushima 2021: Metroid Dread 2022: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 2023: Super Mario Bros Wonder 2024: Astro Bot With my two favorites from the two recent years, I can conclude that if it sounds happy, I’m gonna love it.
i'l admit the transition to astro bot made me smile.... and then my smile went away cause that smile made me have a thought... "Holy crap is this game about to win GOTY?" Side note... for 2023 I got to give it to Zelda for happy vibes.
2024 was probably the best performance overall. Really unique music this year and all really great pieces. The only real exception is Elden Ring. It's my favourite game up there, but they just chose such a weak track, especially when the Balatro theme comes on straight after.
My favorite were 2017: Persona 5 2018: Spider-Man 2019: Control and Resident Evil 2 Remake 2020: Animal Crossing New Horizon 2021: Deathloop 2022: Elden Ring 2023: Baldur’s Gate 3 2024: Astro Bot My favorite is 2019
It's the highlight of The Game Awards every year, and while I love hearing some of the most amazing themes these past years, they absolutely peaked with Balatro. Hands down, the best orchestral arrangement!
How nuts is next year going to be 1) GTA VI 2) Doom Dark Ages 3) Indiana Jones 4) Monster Hunter Wilds 5) The outer wilds 2 6) Ghost of Yhoti 7) Metroid Prime 4 8) Mario 😱 Feel free to keep adding, they kinda gona need a top 10 or something 😅
@@dussilver5712 not confirmed so I may be jumping the gun a bit haha, but it's possible! there's 2 more major updates still planned, next one early 2025. don't think either will be as big as the olympic update so they shouldn't take as long. so i think its likely to be a fall/winter release, though it _could_ end up being early 2026
@jackierabbit fair enough, I guess it all comes down if they want to compete for GOTY. Personally I would slip it to this time next year so they don't fall into the same year as all the above.
I loved this years transitions, balatro into astro and wukong was so smooth, the ending part also with FFVII into the game awards theme really transmitted the hype of the moment Since E3 is dead I'm still glad we have a show where games are celebrated by the whole community Ps: I am astrobot 🤖 Ps2: as 🤖 tro🤖 bot🤖
I love Lorne Balfe, but lowkey the first 3 years still hit the hardest . For me, it sounds the most like the themes of the game instead of being intertwined with an already existing melody They bring out the character of each game so well usually but many of the following years lack that secret sauce
Favorite from each year 2017: Persona 5 2018: God of War 2019: Smash Bros Ultimate 2020: Last of Us Part II 2021: Metroid Dread 2022: God of War: Ragnarök 2023: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom 2024: Black Myth: Wukong
I still think 2020 is the absolute best of these. It has the perfect blend of having each song stand on its own while also expertly weaving them together to make a cohesive composition that seamlessly flows from one to the next. I feel like a lot of the more recent orchestras fail at this. Just look at how the God of War theme was used in 2022 compared to 2018: in 2018’s orchestra it serves as an effective change in tempo, serving the composition itself while also best suiting the needs of what this awesome theme demands. In 2022 they try and use it as the climax, but the song they chose doesn’t really work as a climax. It’s why I find it really baffling they use Metaphor ReFantazio’s battle theme as the very first beat of the 2024 orchestra: it’s the second half of the song! It musically doesn’t make sense to start off the orchestra with it when the theme doesn’t have any buildup to work off of. Idk, am I making literally any sense?
You’re missing the one from 2012 with mass effect 3, the walking dead, ac3… but that was the Spike Video Game Awards so it probably doesn’t count. But it was the first time they did this.
2018’s lineup will always be the most “definitive” GOTY orchestra because: You have a mountain climber surpassing obstacles both physical and mental, an assassin rewriting history with their blade, a father defying the will of the gods, a hunter slaying powerful monsters, an outlaw staking claim in a lawless frontier, and a superhero bringing justice to a sieged city. So many different genres, all united under one fantastic orchestra!
Man, seeing Pedro Eustache performing in the GOTY orchestra is such a treat. Absolutely loved his musical performances in Dune. Astro Bot for 2024 hits the same emotional notes that Animal Crossing did in 2020. Genuinely very sweet musical moment. ❤
My favorite songs from each year!: 2017: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2018: Spider-Man PS4 2019: Super Smash Bros Ultimate and Resident Evil 2 Remake 2020: Doom Eternal 2021: Metroid Dread 2022: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Horizon Forbidden West 2023: Spider Man 2 2024: Astro Bot
Favourite performance from each year: 2017: Horizon: Zero Dawn 2018: God of War 2019: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 2020: Animal Crossing: New Horizons 2021: Metroid Dread 2022: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 2023: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom 2024: Balatro
I did prefer when the themes were more pronounced, instead of melding with the TGA theme. Seems like a more appropriate homage than putting the game awards theme in focus. It also offers more variability in instruments and overall sound.

"Switching to your secondary is faster than reloading."
- Flute Guy, probably.
Flute Guy would have both a primary and secondary Hunting Horn if he were to play Wilds
Literally the best part of every VGA.
Agree. Consistently never disappoints.
Which one? Rtx 4090?
And that’s why I always watch it every year.. that and the game reveal trailers..
TGA?
It caries
19:40 The Elden Ring transition was so powerful it created a shockwave in the theater and almost knocked the camera
An invader backstabbed the camera
I'm so glad this is something that stuck around. It feels like a proper tribute to these games while also feeling appropriately grand for the final award of the event. My opinion about the Game Awards changes by the year but this is always so good.
They should have had Gegagedigedagedago in the orchestra
The Balatro theme is so good here ohhh my goodness

맞아!
You joke but that game really was good
@@evanistephani they kept hades in 5/4, I think they shoulda kept the switch for balatro. that rhythm is such a memorable part of the song
NAME PLEASE
2023 is still my favorite, the BG3 and TOTK sections just give me chills every time and the Mario part in between BG3 and RE4 is so cute
I only just found out that Lena Raine was in the Game Awards Orchestra 2018. Look how happy she is! Playing her award-winning OST of Celsete, alongside Hans Zimmer.

Flute guy deserves an award
Nah flute guy is the best every year. Bro is always playing multiple instruments
They need to bring back the singers, both the Control and RE2 segments were really strong because of them
Bro, that red haired violin girl must be a phantom thief, cause she stole my heart
@@alessandrogarofalo9951That was smooth bro.
i can see the transition becoming better and better, so smooth and not feel uneasy to hear. Really appreciate the effort you guys have done.
These soundtrack montages are the perfect love letter to games, evoking so many beautiful memories and emotions from each. Best part of TGA.
Favourite song from each year
2017: Persona 5
2018: Spider-Man
2019: Resident Evil 2
2020: Doom Eternal
2021: Metroid: Dread
2022: Xenoblade Chronicles 3
2023: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
2024: Balatro
My favourite year is probably either 2020 or 2024
2020 and 2024 were great, but I think the 2023 is my favorite. It could be because i played every game that was nominated.
Imo 2024: Astrobot was the best
@DrakoRaptor all the songs were good
The Wukong theme came out swinging and hit so hard though! Was blown away there.
I'll never forget the transition between FFVII and Doom Eternal. Makes me want a full orchestra on that Doom song
I still think it’s kinda funny how Stray doesn’t have a defined song but instead of taking the intro or the first stage they took a silly quirky song such as “The Way You Compute Tonight” and turned it into a musical masterpiece that could easily transition into Elden Ring is kind of funny. I’m never gonna get over that.
Also the Balatro theme is just so good here too
Feel bad for whoever had to write the transition for Hades into Animal Crossing in 2020.
You can really hear the struggle.
Lorne Balfe is no slouch, though! He does a fantastic job bringing the trumpets into key in the background during the transition. I think he turned a challenging transition into a real highlight
I think they actually did a great job for that transition
The transition from Hades to Animal Crossing caught me off guard 🤣
They did a great job honestly, it flowed.
2020 that transition from FF7R to DOOM Eternal is sooooo good
True
actually phenomial
I was astonished. I hardly noticed the transition even though I knew it was DOOM
Balatro to Astro Bot to Wukong is such a goated transitions
Props to Lorne. He killed this Medley (in the good way)
That’s my favorite part(s) of the 2024 rendition
@@theoctolingsociety1004 Not to mention Pedro ABSOLUTELY BELTING IT on Wukong theme
Truly the G.O.A.T of the TGA Orchestra
next to GOW to RDR2 in the club of GOAT transitions of the vga orchestra
yes！ agree、 from astro to wukong to final 7 and finshi so smooth and perfect
Flute guy has been there the entire time...
He was always there he only got more camera since that awesome Xenoblade chronicles 3 theme. He also played the score of Ghost of Tsushima promotional orchestra in 2019 TGA.

Well Hans Zimmer himself came out playing the guitar. Lorne Balfe is also a Hans Zimmer proteger.
Yesterday After hearing the orchestra of 2024 i hope someone could have done a compilation of all the other ones and you just uploaded this master piece. So grateful for this. Thank you!
I am not sure if its by the same person but someone uploads a compalation every year
That one guy front row to the right is playing either the tiniest or largest instruments and I love his enthusiasm ❤
2018 concert has a special place in my heart... There is such variety in each game's theme but they are amazingly recomposed and connected to feel like a holistic performance. Also the games that year just happen to have some of the best and most iconic theme music too!
Metaphor's battle theme is too good. Literally gave me chills recognizing the melody instantly
The guitarist in white in the 2021 TGS medley lives rent free in my head
That's Lexi Lynn Frazier great guitarist
i like game awards orchestra 2019 where they started to used the intro of game awards then transition song every game nominees end in same intro.... it was amazing/gem to listened every performance of game awards ..as long flute guy is there solid every performance
Lorne Balfe always kills it. Also that drum & flute guy 😂😂
The 2020 one is just so good. Six distinct themes and they’re blended with each other so well
I wish the performers were there live. Its more exciting to see them perform
Glad FFVII Rebirth won soundtrack this year. The remixes of Those Who Fight Further, J.E.N.O.V.A., and one winged angel were awesome.
this is always the highlight of the show
Still proud to see Animal Crossing get nominated! ❤️ The game that made lockdown a bit easier to get through. 😊
I still tear up whenever I hear it in the medley because of that!
I have two memories of lockdown, starting to work from home and Animal Crossing.
@@siggy2526Oh same here! Every single time!
I love that that one guy playing the various woodwind instruments looks like he is having an absolute blast every year 😄

To be fair, its from a dlc, which means that the thing would be smaller than the rest😅
No hate tho
What track did they choose I couldn't really recognize it.
@@Wavebird97Twin Moon Knight
I think Messmer's theme would have been a better choice
Man am I glad metaphor got the recognition it deserved, both awards and orchestra was amazing, wished it won GOTY but this is great too
Exactly how I felt
There was something so majestic about 2019 awards that wasn't replicated since!
Favorite medley is 2020 cuz it had the best transitions in between songs imo!
I still get frickin chills from 2018 starting with Celeste and it instantly shows Lena Raine playing in the orchestra
My favorite were

THIS is what I was looking for bro. My highlight of the VGA every year.

Literally getting emotional watching this
Everytime
The transition between RE4 and Zelda totk is godly divine, just hear that.
Man they knocked it out of the park this year. Hearing them get better and better each year.
2018 still is the best, by far, but OMG Balatros theme feels... BETTER!!! GREATER!!! STUPENDOUS!!!!
The Balatro theme actually gives me chills every time I hear it
It quite literally became my favorite VGA rendition of all time

Yes. The one Hans Zimmer.
Even after 8 Years Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is still the king of the game awards orchestra
