'Assassin's Creed III: Liberation' Composer Wins Game Audio Network Guild Award

In 2012, Ubisoft released a PS Vita-exclusive title in their Assassin’s Creed series, Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation. The element which set this game apart the most, however, was Winifred Phillips’ tremendous soundtrack. In fact, Phillips’ work was just acknowledged by the Game Audio Network Guild. The “Main Theme” won the award for “Best Original Vocal Song – Choral,” with good reason. Phillips’ blend of chorals and Creole sounds proved to be one of the most unique combinations last year, which may be why the G.A.N.G. award is one of a handful of awards the soundtrack won, in addition to several nominations. In fact, Liberation was one of the few soundtracks last year which seemed to transcend the game itself and was able to be appreciated as its own musical narrative.

Bethesda makes the most consistently stupid NPCs, like really bad... yet I still can't help but love playing their games. Guilty pleasure, I guess. *sigh* 😩

My first thought was the safe rooms in the resident evil series. When you hear that enchanting music you know you’re safe.

I literally just came here to post this. That music in the Resi 1 safe rooms is playing in my head.

Rimeskeem269d ago

I was thinking TLOU work benches. Although I remember one time where it was a false security.

Perfect. 👌👌

I'd add the top of my highrise apartment in GTA Online. That calm, quiet peace, just knowing as soon as I step out that door I will be bombarded by 8 and 12 year olds calling each other n**** and f****, trolled by combat jets and rocket launchers.

The entire map of SotC is peaceful as hell. Used to just ride around exploring it.

mastershredder270d ago (Edited 270d ago )

Afterlife in Cyberpunk 2077 is a peaceful area? Erm, hands down and very hard to miss, Misty Olszewski's Esoterica is the absolute epitome of peaceful areas in that game.

raiden_188270d ago

The "last of us" deer location i found to be a welcoming respite. It was nice to not have someone trying to eat me.

RPGer269d ago

Kingdom Hearts tend to present half peaceful areas and most of them are amazing.

'Assassin’s Creed III': Ten Years Later

With the recent reveal of Assassin’s Creed Mirage and the promise that the series will return to its roots, there hasn’t been a better time to get stuck into Assassin’s Creed’s back catalog, whether it’s replaying an old favorite or getting lost in previously looked-over classic.

Ten years later, we miss the old you, Assassin's Creed.

I really enjoyed Assassins Creed 3. My only complaint was that I didn’t enjoy when I had to switch from Connor to Desmond. It’s a personal preference, but Connor’s story was just more fun for me.

On a side note, Black flag was the most enjoyable of the AC games I played.
