If you've played through 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Alan Wake 2, you know the scene. It's a ridiculously amusing, unforgettable surprise from way, way left field during an otherwise generally bleak game, and I wouldn't have it any other way. For the unfamiliar, turn back and play Alan Wake 2 (it's worth it) before reading this article, as we will be getting into spoiler territory from here on out.
The Alan Wake 2 I'm talking about, of course, is the interactive Herald of Darkness performance, performed by the Old Gods of Asgard during one of the talk show segments. It's such a popular sequence that Remedy creative director Sam Lake took to the stage himself during 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Game Awards 2023 and danced h🌳is little heart out while real-life Finnish rock band Poets of the Fall played the song live.
Masayoshi Soken, the acclaimed composer behind Final Fantasy 14 and all of its expansions, as well as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Final Fantasy 16, has als🉐o gone on record as being a big fan of Alan Wake 2's surprise musical number. In a roundup of the best video game music from 2023 by (thanks, ), Soken gushed about hဣis top pick.
"I usually listen to a lot of music, but lately, I haven't been listening to game soundtracks on their own," he said. "But to bring up some music I heard recently while playing games that surprised me, I would choose the scene where 'Herald of Darkness' plays in Alan Wake 2. It's out there to have a gun go off while the music video starts playing all around out of now🅰here during the gameplay, and I found that interesting. And on top of that, the MV is made interactive. Nothing to say other than, damn – that's cool!"
It's one thing notching the se🔴al of approval from players, critics, and awards show judges, but it's another thing entirely coming from Soken, himself known for his brilliant ꦑand often genre-bending video game soundtracks. Now we just need a live-action, interactive heavy metal music video in Final Fantasy 14 and we'll really be living.
Alan Wake 2 is one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best horror games to play today.
After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm rܫesponsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home ♋office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
