For those wondering, Flute Guy is Pedro Eustache! Go follow him on Twitter and Instagram!!
He's awesome ! I'm also looking for the electric guitar woman, to be honest 😅
The Goat Returns!
Oh no don't say that the poor flute man Pedro might not handle that much people
he also plays in hans zimmers band! saw them live it was amazing
Unless I missed something, his first appearance is at the 5:52 mark, playing "Rivers in the Desert" from "Persona 5". Yeah, he was already there in 2017.
However, the performance that made him a legend among gamers didn't come until the Medley of 2022, playing "The Weight of Life" from "Xenoblade Chronicles 3", seen at the 22:28 mark. And the rest is history.
Pedro's arsenal:
-Small flute
-Medium flute
-Traverse flute
-Comically large mega flute
It was his final form
and thats only part of it.
ive seen him live on stage with Hans Zimmer and he played like 10 different instruments during the show including a flute he build by himself out of PVC pipes.
Bro was in the zone like nobody's business
I have not seen a musician jaming like that in a VERY long time 😄
Pedro is a Digimon
The transition from RE4 Remake to TOTK at 27:08 will always be my favorite
I love how RE4 ends with Leon and Ashley facing Salazar Castle and then the transition to Hyrule Castle is so sweet!
When totk music arrives is just the highest point of all orchestra ever.
Even the lighting changes. So epic!
Final Fantasy VII Remake into Doom Eternal is also great at 15:44
no way man! The transition from Alan Wake 2 to Baldurs Gate 3 is the highlight of this entire video!!! it literally gives chills!
TOTK Theme was like made to be the loudest, most epic themes played.
15:05 That Final Fantasy 7 mix into Doom Eternal was amazing!
All the flawless transitions in 2020 make it my favorite one
@@cooliostarstache5474 same
Nahh 2018 is on a whole other level@@cooliostarstache5474
@@cooliostarstache5474 that was the peak. Every game is recognized on the spot. And the drums were not that overwhelming like the last years. Damn, even Animal Crossing sounded badass😅
@@kaiderhai86 I actually found 2020 to be really unbalanced between the games, DOOM got like 10 seconds and other games got 30. Then that backbeat was so prominent in FF7 and DOOM it made them sound like they were from the same game.
The orchestra is my favorite part about the game awards, because, to me, even if people have their own opinions on who should win what or similar, the music and the work the orchestra puts into this really does help convey the message that the Game Awards should be a time to celebrate gaming as a whole, and from the years I've been watching, 2018-2023, they've hit a bullseye every time!
On a recent note, MAN, this year's orchestra was amazing!
Pedro Eustache really came out here with a big flute to show off. That made my night this year! I'm still amazed by his Xenoblade performance but honestly his Persona 5 was so good
His act in last year’s Orchestra was the best one ngl
Flute guy full armor
It’s called a Contrabass Clarinet
@@DoMorrMusic Contrabass flute
He 100% took one look at Xenoblade 3 and its OST and understood the assignment.
When the tears of the kingdom theme kicked in, I was so happy
I love a lot of these, and I'm not really into Zelda, but that Tears of the Kingdom piece might be the most gloriously-executed segment in the Orchestra's history, it's incredible.
it was literally the part of the whole game awards i was most excited for, and damn did they deliver
I knowwwww
It was an amazing part, and I loved how they transitioned it into Spider-Man 2
It is the most listened in the video
Producer Game Awards: we need a phenomenal opening
Hans Zimmer: hold my beer🎸🎶
As a classically trained musician gotta say that arrangements and the overall quality of the orchestra and sound are amazing.
I mean like top philharmonic level amazing.
SO GOOD.
Oh, and btw gratz for Larian on BG3 winning GOTY. Well deserved!
Well it is Hans Zimmer/Lorne Balfe composing, and there are some top level musicians in the VGA orchestra since they use many of the musicians they use for their work.
Honestly 2018 is my favorite one. All the songs just blend in so well together.
Especially rdr2
Hell nah. The rdr2 piece is iconic, but it disrupts the flow of the entire thing lmao.
well, taste is always personal.@@TA-zq3ez for me 2018 is my all time fav. also with the rdr2 slow down. it had to be in there...somehow...and they did it well.
only flaw is there was no Flute guy that year.
Mario Odyssey's "Jump up, Superstar" going on for 2 minutes is amazing and I dont think anyone can complain ❤
Mario Odyssey should’ve won Game of the Year back in 2017 for that performance.
@@rachelkelly2293nah, Zelda was not getting robbed a second time
@@rachelkelly2293The fact they went all out for the song… only to then lose will never not be funny 😂
Nah, the only person who's complaining is my friend who was mad that jump up superstar had it's lyrics and not rivers in the desert-
All seriousness though, that year had a stack group of games, qnd playing both of those games have been a great experience this year! both sounded great in that medley either way!
They had lyrics for jump up Superstar but not rivers in the desert that's my only complaint
2017 still hits hard. That was an amazing year for games.
I'd argue it was the best year for games in recent memory... Until this year.
2017 and 2022 were the most bangers and i hope there will be more such years (totally not biased opinion bcause of horizon)
@@coreylineberry8557yeah dude, 2017 was fire but 2023 was the sun.
2018 still the best year for me
I damn love the transitions in these Orchestras, my favourites are: RDR2 to MSM 11:15 - Stray to Elden Ring 23:47 to GoWR 24:17 and arguably the best one, RE4 to ToTK 27:07 to MSM2 27:35 ,it just sounds so magical
Those are cool but every transition in the 2018 edition are perfect... ngl it still is the best edition so far for me :)
@@VityyOneYeah, one of the best lineups if not the best
Hades into Animal Crossing goes so hard, did not expect the ACNH theme to be a certified banger at any point in my life.
@@wangchangbackupfr. The original was so chill, and the GOTY version sound so heroic and triumphant.
@@VityyOne Yeah you're not alone bro. 2018 is still the best for me. The music, tempo, transition, so rich 🔥
2020 is still my favorite, with 17:27 being the most legendary transition ever. You got a whole set of games with a heavy bass line and then it goes to Animal Crossing… it’s just amazing.
I audibly gasped and then had tears in my eyes, remembering how 2020 was such a goddamn hard and lonely year with Animal Crossing filling that loneliness a little. (I legit forgot it was nominated at all lol)
That Celeste to AC Odessey transition is still the best they have ever done! I love how the shot cuts to Lorne's face (the conductor) right as the transition happens. You can see him get hyped and waiting for the moment and is just like "hell yeah!" when the orchestra nails the notes.
agree, when they transits to AC Odyssey i got goosebumps
9:10
Is that freaking Lena Raine and Hans Zimmer playing together in the first one?? That’s insane
Yes sir
Top 10 most ambitious crossovers in history
Wait which year was it
@@finnkyle55522018
@@finnkyle5552 2018
Always my favorite part of the game awards. Gaming has some incredible music and seeing them performed on stage like this always gives me chills. There are few things in media that move me like this
Music in any media is generally just very consistently good. The rest of whatever it's in could be mediocre or even bad, but the music is good. Of course, there are exceptions, but music is generally the most consistently good part of anything, game, movie, etc.
2018 gives me chills everytime i watch it
Me too 😍
Pedro Eustache the flute guy is somehow getting more and more iconic. That last, ginormous instrument does anyone know what that is? Looks fucking sick
Contrabass flute. It’s an octave below the bass flute and can only be played standing up due to its size.
FINALLY, THE UPDATED VERSION
Excellent work, my guy
Also, once again
*Pedro is HIM. The Flute Guy. THE CHOSEN ONE*
Thank you!! This took a bit longer than normal because I upgraded everything to 4K. Even doing this in advance for past years meant the render took an hour, as did the upload!
20:22 The transition from Resident Evil 8 to Metroid Dread is awesome! Hearing such a big orchestra make one of the most iconic themes in gaming such as Super Metroid Title theme really gives me shivers
u mean re8
@@Cyber7777 Yeah my bad
I know I said it on the previous upload of this but it was wild to me seeing Metroid get its much deserved praise (and being a huge, huge Psychonauts fan made that year _especially_ kickass to me)
Literally watch the Game Awards solely for the orchestra. Always a joy to listen to.
Flute guy is from another world‼️ The Orchestra from 2018 still the best in my opinion❤ and the past year was awesome too!! Listen Stray, Horizon and A plague tale music was too emotional😍 The orchesta is the best of the show!!
2018-2022 Had the best ones.
2018 was wild.
2020 and 2021 also went crazy (ff7 and doom, Metroid)
Yea for me it's either 2017 or 2018 though this year is pretty good.
Only one I genuinely disliked was 2020 for...obvious reasons
@@therkokid215 2018 was wild bc the lineup is fucking good
The orchestra is my favorite part of the year! It makes me feel so much emotion for franchises I’ve never touched. You can feel the love and passion that goes into the music with each switch
I felt super emotional hearing Monster Hunter in the orchestra compilation, as I had not yet found into the franchise when it was nominated. But now that I have thanks to Rise, I was like "hell yeah, there it is!!"
Let's goo
As someone who adored TotK, I'm overjoyed BG3 won game of the year
Same I wouldn’t have minded either but I’m glad it was a game from a genre some people see as beneath or niche
I’m pretty sad totk didn’t win but since BG3 has won 6 awards I want to try it out but I need the right console first lol
@@doriangreg1601yeah… not sure why some people see it that way? Is it because it emulates real tabletop games??
@@TimeCircleBlue from replies I get on tiktok people still associate it as a nerd thing, which is ironic considering that video games in general were considered nerdy back then too
Do yourself the favour! It was my first time trying that gamestyle and I am absolutely in love with BG3@@BB-ph1yb
THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATED VERSION!!! I can't even count how many times I replay your previous TGA GOTY Medley when I'm working, so this is really a gift for me! Thank you so much KBABZ
You're very welcome!
Pero si el tema de bg3 es de los más genérico xdd
nothing can beat 2018 orchestra 🔥🔥
After watching all the orchestra compilation Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is the best of all.
Wow, the BG3 music was good enough on its own, but to hear it like this at TGA was something else
Pero si es de las más genéricas xdd
This compilation of GOTY Orchestra alone make it worth to subscribe to your channel.
Keep up the great work my dude
😁👍👍
Everything is amazing but I really really enjoy "The way you compute tonight" from Stray 2022 😻 23:19
One of the things I always look forward to during the game awards. So many games have such incredible scores, and they don't get enough appreciation.
Literally the best part of the Game Awards every year. Thanks for putting this together!
2023 is great but i slightly prefer last year (2022), because it had more memorable parts (especially with xenoblade and stray).
Wow, that Alan Wake 2 mix of Yötôn Yö is incredible. Almost rivals the Sankarin Tango from Control in 2019.
It wouldve been awesome to have it performed too
the alan wake fandom was eating well that night
They killed it this year, I prefer 2023 over 2022 tbh
every year I look forward to your tga orchestra compilation! you’re the true mvp!
I think we can all collectively agree that the Super Mario Wonder theme was crazy good
I was looking forward to hearing the Tears of the Kingdom theme the most, but came out really digging that Overworld theme.
Really nailed that ‘wonder’ vibe too
8:14
It just radiates so much joy, like the game itself. The transitions 2023 were flawlessly.
All years have crazy good medleys, but 2023 just hit with every single piece.
Alan Wake 2 - A suspenseful journey of mystery and darkness
Baldur’s Gate 3 - An epic ballad of going on an adventure
Mario Wonder - Pure joy and happiness
RE4 - Terror and horror
Tears of the Kingdom - An epic anthem of saving a kingdom
Spider Man 2 - Heroic hip hop beats to represent the two Spider Men
Thank you so much for doing this supercut! The orchestra is always my favorite part of The Game Awards.
YES thank you for making an updated compilation so fast! Last night's medley was great 🙌
I absolutely love this!
Thanks dude, i was expecting this compilation!!!! I really apreciate it!!!!
bless you for posting an updated version. i always look forward to the montage even when i know im not invested in the game's actual ost. and taking the extra mile to cite the source tracks in the description has not gone unnoticed!
I think the music sounds epic start from 2022, they make it so thrilling the entire part and give goosebumping vibes
Thanks for the update! 👍
16:34 always goes so hard
Honestly even hearing all of them like this one after another, 2022 ochestra is still the best. The way the songs perfectly blend together seamlessly is still surreal. And ofcourse the performance of the flute guy aka Pedro Eustache and that camera lag when elden ring theme comes up is unbeatable.
LOL THANK YOU MAN! thank you! That is an amazing compilation!
thank you for updating
I appreacite you doing this every year. Thanks pal!
No matter your opinions on the game, the AC Odyssey part goes so hard
You aint wrong and I dont even like AC
True. Would love to have had the orchestra around when AC2 came out - hearing Ezio's Family in this mix... glorious.
Absolutely
Thanks kbaz you are amazing with these compilations!❤
Whenever I see 2020 on the medley list, I keep forcing myself to watch the Hades to Animal Crossing NH transition everytime because it's just so damn good.
I feel ya there, that shit is straight magical.
Thanks Kbabz! Music is such an important part of gaming for me and so many others. It was a treat watching this!
Re-uploading the performances is one thing, but I'm so happy you go out of your way to title each song as well! Thank you so much!
Yess I was waiting for this, thank you so much. The orchestra is the best part of the game awards
You're very welcome!
I love how you update it each year great work man
Thank youuu❤
The orchestra is always the highlight of the show for me
stray was amazing, the buildup before the transition to it made it hit like a truck and i loved the upbeat score
You’re the best for these
Great work❤
It's absolutely impressive how the quality ranks up from an already great 2021, to reach the 2022 and 2023 performances, where the compositions, transitions and play are close to perfect, deserving the qualification of top artistic performance. I'm so glad for all the nominees of both these years, to be immortalized in such a way is the award in itself, and it's a particularly strong symbol for the underdogs like Stray, who get to be carved into history alongside giants. I love what it builds, and Flute Guy - Perdro - surely agrees 😄
ty so much for this video my friend
what a good service, I hope you can update it every year ❤
Fuaaaa Amigo que rapido! Gracias lo esperaba mucho
That transition from A Plague Tale: Requiem to Stray at 23:15 was beautiful!
From 2022 and on, the level of compositions and play went several steps further, the transitions are indeed particularly good ! That's awesome !
@@malkav0488 Gonna have to respectfully disagree there they’ve really been killing it since 2019 tbh!
@@savirahye not saying it wasn't good, just seeing some clear improvements, the show itself has always been a highlight of the awards ^^
That year was THE BEST, in my opinion. Every transition was on point, from the first until the last. It was perfect, as if it was always meant to be played the way they did.
Watching this video for the 2nd time reminds how much I love to play video games❤
Thank u so much❤
Been waiting for this update.🤟🏾😎
17:36 Did anyone wanna cry while listening to the Animal Crossing theme? Man, so many losses & gains in the year 2020.....
Thanks for your work dude! See you next yr
Can we all agree the best year for orchestra was 2018?
yah i agree
First 2018 Second 2020 Third 2023 i think
The orhestra performance and the music keeps getting better and better each year
2012 - The Original....
2017- The Most Complex
2018 - The Most Popular as ppl remember this is the one where we all started to take the Game Awards Orchestra seriously.
2019 - The Most Driven
2020 - The most impactful because of the pandemic
2021 - The Best Result of Bringing in Different types of the gaming spectrum
2022 - Quite possibly the most emotional and impactful as every song on here made you feel something!
2023 - Definitely the most interesting because of how the fans were still looking towards the business after the craziness of the year.
This is a tradition I love, OSTs from videogames are a very important for me, so seeing them played live and all meshed together is so nice
This is my favorite part of the show and all the renditions are fire, but if I had to pick my favs:
Mass Effect 3 - 1:26
Outer Wilds - 12:05
Control - 13:33
Resident Evil 2 - 14:36
Doom Eternal - 15:47
Ghost of Tsushima - 16:06
Hades - 16:59
God of War Ragnarok: 24:18
Super Mario Wonder - 26:18
Tears of the Kingdom - 27:10
All of these songs give me the chills
2018 orchestra is still the best it was an insane year for gaming
Pedro Esutache doesn't even need a score.. music just flows through him!
This music always brings me peace
2023 - "how much flute do you want?" ... YES
i love this orchestra SO MUCH
Hearing any kind of covers of songs from stray makes me so very happy, it warms my heart to know it is/was a nominee ❤ its a game i hold close to my heart
And it keeps getting better!
La orquesta es lo que más me gusta del evento. Enhorabuena por el video el cual habia visto decenas de veces y ahora se actualiza👏
Great job putting this together kbabz!
Thank you so much! ^_^
brother the 2020 one went so fucking HARD and i remember watching it and didn't even realized at the time how heavenly it was
Bless you!!!!
Love the orchestras so much, always one of my favourite parts of the game awards. Just amazing 💫
GAAHHHH THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!
It always catches me to listen to Alive Inside again by The Walking Dead in orchestral version (01:57). Thanks for this great compilation
The one (perhaps only) part of the show that I always look forward to every year
Marvelous! And I will watch this video again on TGA 2024 eve.
Amazing
2022 gives me arctic chills down my spine with its sheer epicness, theres no other word
I was at the tapings lastnight and when baldursgate played I had the biggest chills
why am i crying? this is so epic!
This is what the official channel should be doing.
the stray to elden ring transition was amazing
