I just got to see Pedro at Hans Zimmer last weekend and he was fucking phenomenal. If anyone ever has a chance to see Pedro Eustache in person please do- it is an absolute treat!
I never grow tired hearing the 2020 medly. After 5 games with heated big swords clashing and bloody battles, then comes the animal crossing theme. Just... the animal crossing theme. Arranged for an orchestra. I mean you may or may not like animal crossing but that theme has to bring a smile to your face.
The arrangement for 2022 is absolutely incredible. The choice of songs and their order, the instrumentations and the transitions from section to section, the energy of the performers themselves, it's all high and above every other year to date. I think if 2020 had been live it would have been a close tie.
I totally agree on 2022 but beg to disagree on 2020 mate - TLOU has to be my favourite but the rendition using ronroco was just too try-hard and awkward - should have sticked with the strings as the theme can still be played beautifully with strong rhythm
I don't know why but hearing all these awesome soundtracks in the medley and watching the compilation of scenes of video games that I have played or have watched online in the background made me really emotional. I'm really thankful to be part of this gaming community :)
Dude same! Especially hearing the 2022 medley for me. I remember first playing Ragnarok and having my mind blown, same with Horizon Forbidden West. I think it’s just the good memories of playing those games for the first time that makes me tear up a little
The orchestra is the best of the show! 2018 still the first❤ Celeste and AC Odyssey transition! All tracks in 2020, Listen Stray, Horizon, A Plague tale music in 2022 and this year Super Mario wonder and Zelda TOTK❤❤❤❤
I agree I always find myself watching 2018's the most, though I gotta shout-out the first half of 2020's as well. I think it's a combination of it's dark tone and fast pace, but that transition from FF7 into Doom and then Doom into Ghost of Tsushima always gives me goosebumps
@@kchicken5875 I agree I think that 2020 is the 3rd best behind 23 I think the only thing holding it back is animal crossing to me it just doesn't hold up with the rest of games
I feel like the orchestra is the only part of the game awards thats genuinely great, everything else is just corperate advertising, but this is minutes of uninterupted pure music, seamlessly woven together
2020 had good transitions because the same backbeat was occurring for the entire theme. I honestly find that one is my least favorite for that reason. All the music kinda sounds the same as a result since the same back beat happens in every one and it is very pronounced that year.
@@SohiHieni really cannot despise that backbeat. Same for 2022, i can barely tell the difference between the games. And despite having played Baldurs gate, i can barely recognize the song in 2023 due to the dominant beat. I'll always prefer the arrangements from 2017 etc before they added that.
Actually, it was 2019 since Smash Ultimate didn't come out until the day after the 2018 Game Awards and missed whatever cutoff date there was for nomination and was also not released within that time frame. I remember because Joker was announced during the 2018 Game Awards.
As much as all goty orchestral fit the theme of the games nominated very well but 2018 is still the king! Starting with Celeste's digital piano to that epic end with Spiderman. Can't be topped even in 2024!
@@JoelGarcia-lu3twyes tf it has, 2018 gow winning over rdr, honestly been so long i forgot if it was sekiro or ghost of tsushima that got robbed too, metroid dread or resident evil should've won in 2021, and dont even grt me started on the smaller awards outside of goty. And having the award isnt even that much of a merit anymore, ppl are just gonna flock to the same rereleased garbo like 2k25 and fifa
They completely missed the chance with Ragnarök and Spiderman 2. Both titles have changes in their main themes but in GoW they just did the same as in 2018. And the simbyiot theme culd've been added to the orchestra
@@TheRenegadePlayer AGREED! I think even if Helldivers 2 doesn't get nominated for GOTY I hope they play its "A Cup of Liber-Tea" theme in the orchestra

Dude brought out his hunting horn for spider man 2.
His instrument is evolving
Was there live for 2023 Orchestra and MY GOD was it the best medley to date!
So lucky !! Happy for you mate 😊❤️❤️
2020 for me personally
@@lebronstan99it’s kinda unfair when there’s a year with an ff7 game in it :D (which makes me look forward to 2024’s medley)
I mean with Mario, Zelda, Baldur's Gate, Resident Evil, and Spider-Man it would have been a crime to not go as hard as they did for 2023
FF7S GETTING IN THIS YEAR!!@@leeswecho

And the transitions are on point, going from Final Fantasy to Doom and then from Hades to Animal crossing just gets me every time
kinda a misopportunity not to make doom & animal crossing side by side tho
@@kison7715 The best thing about it is, if you use the time stamps, they actually fit together like they were meant to be then got separated
Funny how TLOU 2 won and it was a Banjo player 😂
That transition from Doom Eternal to Ghost of Tsushima

2018 and 2023 were the best years all the games in each year go together so well

The transition from Celeste to Odyssey is hands down the best transition throughout all of GOTY orchestras
I NEED TO HEAR METAPHOR BATTLE THEME IN THIS ORCHESTRA THIS YEAR!!!!!
WE NEED THE MONK CHANT IT'S NECESSARY
@@Aren_OverHeaven IT WASN'T THERE :((
@@Hangingchadreal I'M SO FUCKING SAD
I feel like the orchestra is the only part of the game awards thats genuinely great, everything else is just corperate advertising, but this is minutes of uninterupted pure music, seamlessly woven together
love how it went from heh fluffy cat game to
heed thee thy warning mortal, thou shalt go past or thy shall die and god murder simulator
One of the only parts of the game awards that has actually gotten better through the years
I liked 2017 the most even though it’s not here, but 2023 is definitely the best blended version, sounds like one continuous melody
Bloody heck 2018 was a great year for games. Red Dead 2, God of War, Monster Hunter, Spiderman, Assassins Creed.
Can’t wait to see Pedro/Flute guy go hard for us tomorrow night!✊
I just love the Mario Wonder part is so happy and silly between all serious themes from the GOTY 2023 nominees.
There’s something I’ve always known about the Orchestra. They ALWAYS kill it with the Nintendo game themes🔥
That transition from gowr into the game awards theme was smooth as fuck
I think we need to talk about how CLEAN the transitions for 2020 were
Yes ! Especially the FF to Doom eternal transition😁❤️
How about 2018 with the FIRST 3 GAMES

I'm actually ugly crying realising the Celest is the first to have the privilege
I was so happy to see that Lena Raine personally helped perform in the first orchestra
I mean… if you forget about the 2012 game awards…
If you forget previous Game Awards, then yeah, Celest was the first to have the privilege
I don’t think anything will beat the game awards orchestra’s renditions of Proof of a Hero or the TOTK main theme for me
GOTY 2024 is gonna be such a good year for the orchestra with Helldivers, Black Myth Wukong and Final Fantasy. I can't wait!
Metaphor
ASTRO BOT?! Hello????
@@cloudshines812 astro shit no thanks
So… maybe not that…
Space Marine 2 theme goes really fucking hard too
I was in tears listening to this, it's so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️🥹
12:12 the arangment on Psychonauts 2 is AMAZING!
Love this. Keep this up every year.
15:37 he appears
Man 2019 theme was the best for me cuz it feels like the beginning of a new adventure
This vid will pop off a year from now watch
I love how deep they made the new horizons cover, so brassy and cool
Unbiased opinion 2020's orchestra was the best
Love how the doom and final fantasy remake soundtrack melted together.
here hoping for the updated version
18 is 🔥
Probably the best year importa games but the orchesta wasn't so good ;/
Orchestra Number One ❤
holy shit 2018 was a good year
this is art
5:54 I love the orchestra of super smash bros ultimate they did in the game awards 2018
Actually, it was 2019 since Smash Ultimate didn't come out until the day after the 2018 Game Awards and missed whatever cutoff date there was for nomination and was also not released within that time frame. I remember because Joker was announced during the 2018 Game Awards.
@victoriabell9546 yeah I was surprised he was reveal for super smash bros ultimate
Celeste instrument was the best in 2018
i think 2023 one is the best, from alan wake 2 to BG3 to mario to re4, TOTK AND finally SM2, they all combine tgt so well
mario one is the worst, this version left it out and much better
@@wolfpacrule nah Spiderman is the worst, and mario is def above atleast resident evil
I’m surprised they chose Krauser’s theme and not Shooting Range or “Bullet or the Blade”
Flute guy always cooks
the game awards game of the year was absolutely iconic
The smile on our face when our favourite game soundtrack played by them in awards
2020 orchestra is so different compared to the others.
can't wait for the 2024 update of this video
proof of a hero to out laws of the west was so 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love these years of the Game Award Orchestras!
Lena raine is my favorite video game composer!! ❤️
2018 and 2020 easily had the best nominees
Unironically the best bit every year
If it were up to me the game awards would be 2 hours of this amazing orchestra then the rest for the awards 😂
18:26 Majima really is everywhere huh?
As much as all goty orchestral fit the theme of the games nominated very well but 2018 is still the king! Starting with Celeste's digital piano to that epic end with Spiderman. Can't be topped even in 2024!
0:11 Is that Hans Zimmer??
Yes, I think so🙂
Yeah, i was thinking "Is the Hank f***ing Zimmer, the legend???" When I saw him
Hell yea it is the man the myth the legend
Yes. The legend.
Spiderman 2p18 theme is amazing
The 2024 order is Astro, Metaphor, Balatro, Rebirth, Wukong, and Erdtree
I'm eager to listen the ASTRO BOT song, cuz that game deserves to be nominated
2023 orchestra was godly. How it went from RE4, TOTK, and SPMAN2
2019 having smash bros, control, sekiro, and resident evil makes it the most hype
Nenhuma outra supera 2018 e 2019, simplesmente espetaculares. Sempre que escuta as duas acabo me emocionando
AC Odyssey's soundtrack give me goosebumps every time
Man 2018-2023 Peak era of gaming♥️
From Hans Zimmer to Flute guy!! GOTY Orchestra never miss!!
2018-2019-2020 🔥🔥🔥
How is literally no one talking about Hans FREAKING Zimmer performing!!?? 😮😅💀

Flute guy needs to go crazy with the balatro theme
2018 was the best
2020 and 2023 🔥🔥
TGA 2018 tinha simplesmente o Hans Zimmer tocando, entendi kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
How TF that Animal Crossing 's theme song can be this epic???
2022 is still the goat

can't wait to hear wukong music next year
They completely missed the chance with Ragnarök and Spiderman 2. Both titles have changes in their main themes but in GoW they just did the same as in 2018. And the simbyiot theme culd've been added to the orchestra
