Butt-slapping, blinged-out guns, and music can mix. At least, that’s what EA Montreal is thinking. The studio announced earlier this afternoon that film and television composer Tyler Bates is the man creating the “immersive” score for their next game,Army of 2-2: the 40th Day.
Bates is the guy who composed the scores for the films300andThe Watchman. In the videogame world, Bates is credited as the composer of the terrible RPGThe Rise of the Argonauts, the bad action game300: March to Glory, as well as the clunky brawlersWatchmen: The End is Night Part 1andPart 2.
“The 40th Day is one of the most intense games I’ve seen,” said Tyler Bates via the press release. “The setting, characters and action in the game provided me the perfect backdrop to create an equally intense and dramatic score that compliments the gameplay.”
If Bates can capture whatThe 40th Dayis all about in music form, then more power to him. But really, we’re more interested in killing dudes while playing with our pals.
