RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2

(06-14-2013, 09:42 PM)Nyarlathotep Wrote: The Chinese Room and Frictional seem to be all about experimenting with interactive storytelling. Comparing a video game score to a classic film score isn't the right way to go about this. Many soundtracks nowadays are more deeply integrated into the media. I have a feeling even if this is for an uncontrolled moment in the game, it will be used for something other than a still screen.

Ah, so this experiment entails placing less of an emphasis on the score in order to better tell a story? Then tell me, why is the music being praised so much? I do not have any problems with the specific mood idea it's going for, in fact it is a good one, I just think it is poorly realized and the result is completely contrary to what it's trying to achieve. I'm not saying they should have a dedicated overture for use in the intro or write 3 hours worth of soundtrack music, in fact my point was mainly that some of you seem to be settling for "it will be appropriate in context" when you could set your sights higher and only settle for a fantastic score that is also fantastic in context. The Amnesia score almost achieved this IMO.
