Ready to rumble in France?


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!

wii stupid

wii is stupid and no point in buying next gen because its not. users say that ps3 has no good games is wrong and 360 is still better than wii because wii is gamecube 1.5 and gamecube is stupid. nintendo carry on its bad tradition since n64 as usual.

did he just mock the N64?!

The N64 is home of the Legend of Zelda OOC best game if 1998 any gamer knows that 1998 was a gaming reinsassnce. It was golden year of software. And Legend of Zelda OOC being proclaimed by many best game of 1998 is basicly saying best game ever.

That dude is not good at math

Wii is 3 times more powerful then Gamecube. So more like Gamecube 3.0 and lol Number one needs to learn how to spell.

3 at best

It is 3 times more powerful than the GCN at best. Expect the graphics to be slightly better than the Xbox. Once again you Sony Fanboys have pissed me off. You realize that Nintendo is now a threat, unlike last time (the Gamecube...was not the smartest idea). This console war is completely different than any other one in history. We have a battle of formats involed as well as a completely different approach to gaming. I've said it once and i'll say it again. THIS WAR IS ANYONE'S PS. I hate Sony Fanboys more than any other fanboys, does that make me biased?

blah

Wow. These are by far the best looking vids for Red Steel that I've ever seen. I'm glad that Ubisoft really cleaned up the animations and the graphics. Now if they can just change the aiming to what Retro is doing with Prime 3...

wow i see the graphics and gameplay are amazing even though the stupid sony fanboys have a ps3 with only good graphics.. i mean if i wanted amazing graphics i would just get on F.E.A.R. on my comp.. thats might as well what you could do.. plus the wii has alot of cool stuff and only thing ps3 has is Blu-ray.. wow bigger disks!! anyone couldve made those... ok well im not trying to spark a fire so.. im definately getting this game with a Wii and Zelda TP :D
