Jasper Byrne is a musician and game developer. I'm going to be focusing on his music today.
Jasper used to make music like this:
(^This one was good enough for PewDiePie to use as an outro^)
That last one is important. We'll get back to it.
Suddenly, a not very well telegraphed Lone Survivor remaster comes out called "Super Lone Survivor"
*(It's essentially just an engine change with some minor new content. I'm not sure what was wrong with the old one other than it using a big .swf internally )
The important part is that Jasper creates a new soundtrack for it. My pants tighten and I wonder how the remasters of all my favourite songs are going to be fricked up.
Spoiler: He (quite wisely) didn't actually touch any of the originals and just made hours of extremely generic "80's movie" synth music.

What the frick happened? Why is it all in a completely different style? Was he too afraid of ripping off Akira Yamaota?
I listened to his new album, Mirrors, and it was also just kinda meh
