It’s not every day you get to sit down with a seasoned composer of the industry, and it was with great pleasure I got the chance to talk to Jason Graves, the man behind Far Cry Primal’s composition, as well as many other prolific games such as Dead Space, Tomb Raider’s 2013 reboot and Until Dawn, to name but three.
Primal itself is Ubisoft’s prominent left-turn from the otherwise modern setting the franchise had been routed in to this point. By literally having the game with an onscreen graphic rewinding time from 2016 all the way back to 10,000 BC, it required the team to reevaluate every game mechanic and ability, reworking them for an entirely new time period.
Honestly, whilst the game itself seems to be coming under fire for reusing too many of the same aspects as Far Cry 4, it’s become a personal early highlight of the year,...

Amplitude, Harmonix’s long-awaited sequel to the original rhythm action games released for the PlayStation 2, has finally been given a release date. The game will see a full release on January 5th, 2016, but those who pledged $40 or more to the title’s Kickstarter campaign will get early access on December 23.
But why, after all this time, has the studio decided that now’s a good time to resurrect the long-gestating series? Well, a statement on Amplitude‘s Kickstarter page says it all, really.
With the advancements in technology and the huge creative leaps forward our studio has taken, we believe we can rebuild Amplitude for current consoles and make it an even more amazing experience than before. We’re aiming to deliver an updated soundtrack, incredible visuals, and fine-tuned controls. These improvements will be layered on top of the core mechanics and hallmark difficulty that made both FreQuency and Amplitude...

If anything has become clearer to me, it’s that the release of Bastion on the PlayStation 4 shows just how far independent video game development has come over the past few years. When it originally released back in 2011, Bastion was one of the few indie games that was able to make any headway on the Xbox Live Arcade, mostly in part due to its heavy promotion on the Summer of Arcade promotion. Nowadays, indie games have a much easier time getting a release on consoles, with Sony in particular embracing the independent game community with open arms.
Now, I’ll be the first to admit that when it was announced that Bastion would be re-released, I was probably more enthused than your average gamer. You see, like Braid and Journey, Bastion is one of the (many) indie titles that took me by surprise, and subsequently, kept me coming back for years to come.

Welcome back Inside the Gaming Studio. There has been a bit of a gap since the series launch, but that is because I have been busy lining up some incredible guests. But today I bring you something a little special.
Since the inception of this series, I have wanted to talk to a composer. Game Soundtracks are a form of scoring where I consistently find new and adapted ideas. Creating music for a space where it interacts directly with an audience member is quite unique to the medium. I find thatrather stirring and beautiful. So imagine the pace at which I contacted Austin Wintory once I heard his score had been nominated for Best Soundtrack at the Grammys.
It of course isn’t the first time Video Games have been to the Grammys. In fact, Chris Tin was our mediums first taste of Grammy gold back in 2011 with Baba Yetu...

Last week it was all about the 2012 BAFTA Film Awards, and now sees our attention turn to gaming with the announcement of the nominees for the BAFTA Video Game Awards 2012. We were there last year and hope to be covering it again this year. But in the meantime here’s the full list of nominees, featuring the cream of the crop of video gaming.
Personally I hope Uncharted 3 sweeps the board in all the categories its nominated in, and – being a Mario fan – I hope Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 pick up awards… although Dead Space iOS could give them a run for the money in the handheld categories!

As we hurtle toward a promising 2012, 2011 has arguably been one of the most impressive years for the industry since, well, 2010. It’s a good time be playing games.
A saturation of semicolons is indicative of a continued franchise offensive by the major publishers and, if Spike TV’s Video Game Awards are anything to go by, it’s really paying off.
Warner Bros. Interactive led the way with a total of seven wins from its three strongest games – Bastion, Batman: Arkham City and Mortal Kombat. Bastion bagged Best Downloadable Game, as well Original Score and Best Song, whilst Arkham City came away with an impressive 4 wins over 11 categories.
Nintendo came out on top in some pretty big categories, bagging wins for Skyward Sword in Best Wii, Handheld and Motion Game.
