I respect him as a musician as I like the stuff he did for Earthworm Jim, but his comments on japanese games and how he's the stereotypical western dudebro really lowers some points on him as a person. Then again maybe he's just very influentiable or he wanted to appeal to what he deemed the best kind of public to sell his shit to, regardless, shit behavior.

afaik nobody's disproven him making the Earthworm Jim soundtracks at least, so assuming all's good there, I respect his talent for whatever music he composed. That's about it though, he's a total dishonest huckster who made a career of false claims so it's hard to tell where to even give him props.

Probably worked with a lot of people who weren't really in the game industry and just happened to he involved in composing music for a game or two. Like the guys referenced >>9932119 here either just composed for EWJ as an odd job or before moving on to other things. Tommy worked in games and continued to work in games, so basically he was one of the only men left standing, with nobody paying attention to call him out.

[Anonymous No.9932165]

>>9932134
I'll give you an example of how this works. Tommy says he did the music for EWJ and Shiny couldn't credit him for "legal reasons" in the Genesis/SNES versions. He is credited for the music in the CD versions, it was common back then for composers to make demos that programmers then put into the game (see Masato Nakamura and Sonic 1&2). That example is kind of funny since Nakamura was and still is credited in every version but regardless Tommy's story checked out, especially since nobody on the development team ever said anything.

To be honest why would he be a hack? He was a music guy most of his career wasn't he? His accolades for music in gaming really does speak for itself.

It just seems that Tommy is a habitual liar and constantly seeking attention. This includes endlessly exaggerating his contributions and stealing credit whenever possible. He doesn't get called out on it, so his lies get bolder.

[Anonymous No.9934554]

>>9932936
>>9932134
His credits are music and sound in games. He runs a studio and is in charge of these things. That means he can assemble a team of composers or musicians who write music, and then it gets credited to him because he's the middle-man manager. These minor figures don't pay attention and Tommy parades around gaming as this rock star hot shot.

Everything he's ever done is now extremely suspect and it falls apart with analysis. We're now questioning what he ever did - he's someone with an interest in music but couldn't make it so he just got into a young industry that couldn't tell the difference between legit and faker, and then coasted on other people's contributions.

Right, and since the musicians he hired likely weren't especially interested in video games and it was just a gig to them, once they're paid they'd move on to the next job, never really bothering to look back in on what's happened since. It's reasonable to imagine that a "real" musician wouldn't think much about whether or not they got credited in a Sega game or whatever for something they did to make ends meet a few months prior.

>>9934757
They'd have to sit and play a Sega Genesis video game all the way through to read the actual in-game credits which few people would do at the time. The Resident Evil live action actors didn't even know what Resident Evil is, or even what it was. They were just hired for a gig, did 1 day of shooting were paid, then went home. Normal people rarely interacted with "nerd" media, and selling 5 million copies doesn't mean that much. Many of them very well might have walked past the game in a store at some point, not having any idea that they were in it.

The voice actor for Barry Burton on the other hand, only knew about the game because he was a principal in a school in Australia and his students told him.

If you're a nerd, and have nerd friends, it might seem normal to care about these things. But someone else wouldn't.

Also Tommy isn't gonna say "yeah I hired this guy who composed this nice track" since the next obvious question is: "Why don't we just hire him instead of you?".

LOL

I get the sense Tommy had a childhood fantasy of being a rock star, but either didn't have the patience to actually learn how to play well, or could never make it. He has just enough knowledge to bullshit and seem knowledgible to the lay person, and that's enough to be hired as a musician in video games in the 80's. Then he kept stealing credit to add to his fame, and kept self-promoting.

[Anonymous No.9934845]

>>9934828
I guess you could argue Tommy had one talent in particular: foresight. At the time nobody thought much of game composers. Like that wasn't a thing you could really make a name on as far as most people were concerned. Tommy was in the right place at the right time and decided to self-market in a way that was relatively unheard of. It's only now that there's real attention to it that shit is starting to come to light.

I don't think Tommy is talented at anything other than being a bold liar. There's youtube channels and videos pointing out minor lies he's made about being the first this or that or meeting people. He just seems to desperately want to be special and to get attention, and before the internet no one was really checking what he was saying. And since he had such a deep desire and happened to be a composer for video games, it's what he's went with. but it looks like he's been lying and exaggerating from day 1.

The problem was they didn't have the decency to pull the plug when the Amico went south (provided it was ever legitimately on the table). Covid was a more than valid excuse to scale back and have a heart to heart with everyone who preordered but instead they kept throwing good money after bad, hoping prices would come down in the interim, and eventually got stuck with so much debt that if they ever did release the thing it would probably have to retail for PS5 money. They just kept lying to people, hoping for some angel investor or some other miracle would rescue them. Really what they should have done from the start is cut the shit about selling games physically or doing a bunch of online nonsense and just put together an inexpensive plug-and-play that had a few fun family games on it and could sell at Target or Best Buy for $99.99. But they just couldn't help themselves. They wanted their fancy office space and job titles and thought that they could BS their way through the process.

It's not his song, he didn't write the music or lyrics for this song. Did he pay the other band members? Doubt it...

I don't think Tommy had anything to do with GEMS. I think GEM's was made by the Taz-Mania and Chakkan developer. Tommy did use GEM's though for various genesis/ Md games like Earthworm Jim 1 and 2, and probably games like Robocop vs Terminator, Mic & Mac, Cool Spot and whatever. The GEM's software doesn't even look bad, as it is pretty customization and features. The biggest problem with GEM's is that third parties tend to use the default FM audio configurations.

This but unironically. VGM was a phenomenon in Japan, while in America music in games was largely treated as an afterthought. While Japan was printing sheet music from arcade games in magazines and had a thriving industry of selling soundtrack and arrangement albums, America was still licensing out the music to whoever was the cheapest. While Japanese composers were getting intimately familiar with soundchips and pushing them to new levels, American composers were just using shitty GEMS presets with abysmal quality just to rush the games out the door. There really is no comparison.

Why not? SNK's music was so good because it was created in concert with the arrangers and studio musicians. SNK was making all of those KoF and Fatal Fury soundtracks with the idea that they would be arranged by real musicians so they were making the songs sound as close to "real" music as they could get, likely often with input from said musicians.

And I would bet a lot of other Japanese VGM composers were working with an eye towards their songs being arranged and played by real musicians. Which goes into the different that anon said. Japanese VGM composers were taking their craft seriously and looking at it as creating real music. American VGM composers just saw it as jobs because they couldn't make it in the real music industry.

Everything should be questioned now and we should assume as a default that he didn't compose anything until proven otherwise. He just seems like a no talent attention seeker coasting on the work of others. When a game became a hit he'd go "Oh yeah. I made all the sfx and music for that. Yep. All me. I'm the guy." Then coasts on that for like 20-30 years.

It's remarkable because even if you take his claims at face value he hasn't done anything of value for decades. Meanwhile tons of composers in east and west have been pumping out music for ages with far more volume and consistency, but 0.1% of the recognition of Tommy.

The name implies he's doing 75% of the work with help, instead of just being a useless middle manager go-between hiring randoms to compose a few songs here and there.

He could keep up the lies in the 80's and 90's and 00's. The started to unravel with the advent of social media. But he was still held in high regard, but the Amico scam really put the spotlight on him. People are asking (serious people) did he even compose anything?

On one hand it would be nice to have as little shame as Tomm, but on the other, the inability to stop showing your whole ass to the public has got to be a real handicap.

He's a pathological liar who will literally lie about anything. He once claimed his parents never drank on a forum post in response to someone saying they finally got clean, then told stories over and over on podcasts about his mother drinking wine with friends. He also listed himself as a "Minor League Baseball Hall of Famer" and posted photos of this ring online, conveniently cropping out the part that says "FANTASY CAMP" on the top. Honestly, the sheer amount of lies he tells, ones that he doesn't even have any reason to tell... it's mind boggling.

It used to happen a lot back in the day. On streets of rage 3 you'll notice Yuzo Koshiro put his name on the title screen as the composer - but it was all written and programmed and composed by Motohiro Kawashima who got no credit at all.

It’s being between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, it’s probably satisfying on a deeply spiritual level to see your work become popular and inspiring to others. On the other, someone else is reaping the direct material and social benefits that should rightfully be yours instead.

As a mediocre polymath I’d love to see my shit become renowned too, but I don’t think I could get past seeing someone else steal my glory for very long without blowing a gasket or two.

The only exposure to this guy I’ve ever been made aware of was on that G4 show ‘Judgement Day’ and in pic related. Bard’s Tale (2004) is of my favorite games of all time, so I guess that makes Tommy Tallarico Studios pretty based at the very least.

He and those retarded japanese guys who took credit from all those ladies who did the street fighter music are a commies wet dream of effectively "proving capitalism is a farce" so I hate his guts not only for being a piece of shit, but also giving commies justifiable ammunition.

Yeah, as somebody who draws stuff, it's kind of a kick in the balls for your original upload to get minimal attention, but a sig-cropped re-upload by some random fuck get six figure likes (and that's not nearly as bad as somebody actively, arguably maliciously, taking credit for your work).
Anybody who says you should just be happy your thing gets to be enjoyed by more people have probably never had somebody else harvest the attention for their work. It's especially a shame since EWJ games had very memorable music and getting proper attention could've helped careers.

Not really a fair comparison. Sure, maybe he's been over credited for "creating" Mega Man, but nobody refutes that he actually did meaningful work on the series in terms of illustration, character design, and production. Maybe the initial idea of Rock wasn't his, but he certainly carried the series forward.
It sounds more and more like Tommy really didn't do a whole lot on the creative side of EWJ's music production, despite choosing to take credit for the lion's share of it.

My big suspicion is that the Japanese composers are the same - they are a head of a team and they get sole credit for all their underling's creations. I remember thinking there's no way Uemetsu created the extremely diverse scores for FF6 and FF7 in quick succession like that.

He is quoting Hbomber's video on Tommy, where he went on the tangent on how female composers of Capcom's arcade games went uncredited, completely missing the point that every single person in the credits was hidden under a nickname and there was no secret misoginy in arcade dev scene.

I guess the point was that women are generally underrepresented in terms of game development, which is true, and these situations from jap devs in the 80's and 90's didn't help. But it was like that for all of them, something grifters like Tallarico exploited.

[Anonymous No.9951435]

It’s horrible what he’s gotten away with. I did the sound effects for EWJ. I trained a real worm to say “groovy” and everything. I launched a real cow onto a real princess just to make the sounds as accurate as possible. And all the credit goes to this fraud…

In an industry where programmers, illustrators, sound engineers, etc. are paid their salary and then they fuck off to work on something else, it's easy for someone else to take the credit because they're not getting in the way of royalties, not like the main music industry where even small bands and songwriters have some amount of ownership over their music (although I know about the cases where people get sued for their own songs because they left their record label)
