Video game music has long been a genre that is near and dear to my heart. Composers spend countless hours putting together the right mix of sounds to capture the raw emotion of the gameplay that often times are neglected by the intended audience (gamers). When multimedia composer Jeff Broadbent finalized the amazing score for Sony Online Entertainment’s MMOFPS game PlanetSide 2 (which is free to play by the way), players heard the sounds that express the story of the factions in the game.
Planetside 2’s future is uncertain as the IP was sold for a relatively low sum to a company with no history.
Was such a cool concept back in the day - shame that it never really took off like it probably could have with more support
The last Live Letter is done and we were all surprised at the announcement of a delay to the release of FFXIV's Endwalker expansion, we got some more details about the MMORPG's new PvP Crystal Conflict mode, and some system details. Then we talk about PlanetSide 2's new continent and LOTRO's new expansion before wrapping up with some good changes for Ubisoft and Blizzard... but are they enough? All that and more on this week's Always Online!
PlanetSide 2 is going to be getting its next major expansion this December. This new addition, titled “Expedition: Oshur” will be the first addition in almost seven years to bring an entirely new continent to the game.
