Tons of Red Steel info, images, and video
Ubisoft announced today that the award-winning composer Tom Salta will be providing the score for the game Red Steel. To the gaming community, he’s known for doing the background music of Project Gotham Racing 3 and Sprung, among many others. In the TV and movie industry, he’s famous for creating kaleidoscopic musical backgrounds for “2006 Winter Olympics,” “Joan of Arkadia,” and “Third Watch”.
In order to apply the right sonic mood and effect to the game, he arranged and recorded traditional Japanese instruments like the “Taiko,” “Koto,” “Shamisen,” and “Shakuhachi” as performed by expert musicians. He also employed a few people like conservatory-trained Japanese opera singers, Taikoza, the percussion specialist group, and Lili Haydn, the renowned violinist. To reflect the Western-side of the game, he included a wide spectrum of musical styles like orchestra, electronic, rock, hip hop, and many more.
You can actually hear some of the music in the videos from a Red Steel event in Paris, France. In the first one, you’ll see two Frenchmen discussing the game while playing it. You’ll notice that the cameraman tends to switch from the screen and back to the gamers. He’s just showing you how the controllers tie-in with the game onscreen. The remaining four shows more of the levels in the demo. So far, it’s looking very good.
We’ve also included some new screens from the same event. Whew! The French really had it good with Red Steel that day. We’ll be eagerly anticipating this game when it ships out in November. Here comes the goodies below!
