Even sandwiched between juggernauts like Grand Theft Auto IV and next month's Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Ubisoft's upcoming Haze has managed to attract a good deal of interest. But though gamers may not know it yet, one of the things clearly in Haze's favor is its musical score.
Developer Free Radical is an old hand at shooters, considering their critically acclaimed TimeSplitters series and tracing back to their founding in 1999 by former Rare employees fresh from working on GoldenEye: 007 and Perfect Dark. You can hear audio director Graeme Norgate's music in all those titles, and though he delegated composing duties for Haze, his influence still looms.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When shopping for new video games you can often trust the name publisher or developer on the box to be an indication of the quality of the game. Names like Nintendo, Square Enix, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Capcom, Xbox Game Studios and Sega are world famous because they helped shape the industry by releasing some of the most defining video games of all time. Though sometimes even these great gaming houses stumble and put out a stinker."
Splatterhouse remake . Loved the og’s at the arcade growing up . Hell the best thing about the remake was the og,s were included . And left alive by Square . That game had so much potential , but the gameplay was worse horrendous .
I'm pretty much certain that any Sonic game that comes out will be terrible, I've not enjoyed one since the original side-scrolling days of the MegaDrive.
Guns, drugs, and unnecessary war. Fun for the whole family.
I often think that music is over looked in games, less so nowadays but still somewhat.
It goes without saying that a game without good music never creates the quality or the immersion for the gamer. I love how scores a becomming "bigger". Longer tracks without repetition, bigger sounds, more instruments with a lot more variation of texture to really take the gamer through as many emotions as possible.
These are some of the aspects I love the most about modern gaming.
