I am revisiting "A Plague Tale Requiem" for an upcoming talk and this scene took me off guard, even if I know it by heart.
I think it's a good demonstration on how a gameplay can be enhanced by the writing, acting and music.
It's happening.
Looking at the progress AI is making in interpreting music sheet I wonder how some composers will start using it instead of using sample libraries.
Meet Giorgos Kalogirou, an incredible singer who can look very intimidating but whose voice touches the heart and soul. His performance for @APlagueTale Resonance is just otherworldly! And of course he’s the nicest guy!
My upcoming score for @APlagueTale Resonance is by far my most mystical music. This game series has always been deeper than just the surface layer.
Get ready for a unique journey full of action AND emotions!
