Evening Q&As | [Oct 20, 2006, 8:29 pm ET] - 3 Comments |
- Lineage II
RPG
Vault's Lineage II: Oath of Blood Music Q&A talks with composer Inon Zur
about the soundtrack in the upcoming MMORPG sequel: "In 1997, I composed my
first score for a video game, Star Trek: Klingon Academy. Since then I have
composed the scores for close to 40 games, including Lineage II: Chronicle 5
- Oath of Blood, Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, Prince of Persia:
Warrior Within, SOCOM II, Champions of Norrath: Realms of EverQuest,
Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, Icewind Dale II and many more. I really
enjoy the creative freedom of scoring games. In them, the music is allowed
to breathe and develop much more than in linear forms of entertainment such
as film and television."
- Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising
The
Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising Q&A on Killer Betties talks with Perpetual
Entertainment's Stieg Hedlund about their MMORPG: "Rome, its culture,
military, technology and of course its myth, has continuously fascinated
people around the world, practically since it came into existence. We chose
it because of the ways it worked with the gameplay we wanted to create,
which it does a terrific job of complementing and deepening. As far as
story, and background, working with myth and history is tremendous—there’s
so much material, and it all has a sense of being grounded instead of forced
and artificial. People find familiarity in it and are drawn in and then we
start to introduce some of the stranger and less familiar elements that I
think people will find rather interesting."
- Civil War: A Nation Divided
The
Civil War: A Nation Divided Q&A on FiringSquad talks with Chris Owen of
Activision about the upcoming first-person shooter (reloader?) set in the
Civil War being made in conjunction with the History Channel: "The game
features 12 of the most famous and bloody battles in our Nation’s history
including Gettysburg, Bull Run and Antietam and famous locations within each
battle such as Little Round Top and Lookout Mountain. The game is divided
into two sections: the Northern and Southern campaigns. In the North, you
will progress through battles primarily won by the North: Fredericksburg,
Gettysburg, Chattanooga, and so on. In the Southern Campaign, the player
will experience the battles primarily won by the South: Bull Run, Antietam,
Shiloh, and a few more. The type of terrain encountered in each level varies
depending on the location of the battle. There are forts, enemy camps,
mills, train depots, trenches, towns, beaches, swamps, forests, and so on."
