Fallout 3 Pulls Out the Big Guns
For gamers who are fans of the post-apocalyptic genre, Fallout 3 will be easy on the eyes. It seems it’ll be easy on the ears as well. Today Bethesda announced that the game will feature a soundtrack by award-wining composer, Inon Zur. Zur has written music for numerous forms of media. He’s composed for anime such as Escaflowne, movie trailers, including Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and for TV webisodes such as Ghost Whisperer: The Other Side. His work in the gaming industry includes Crysis, EverQuest II: Rise of Kunark, and Men of Valor, whose main theme was awarded Best Original Instrumental by the Game Audio Network Guild.
“We’ve wanted to work with Inon for a long time,” explained executive producer of Fallout 3, Todd Howard . “He brings so much to the table, in terms of his talent, background, and the music that’s influenced him. He’s created a score that has epic sweep; from the lonely ambience of the wasteland to dramatic fights for survival.”
“Fallout 3 is one of the most engaging and demanding projects I’ve scored,” said Inon Zur. “It was very rewarding to put all my creative energy into supporting Bethesda’s vision for the game. I’m very proud of the outcome, and look forward to sharing the music with the players.”
Fallout 3 allows players to wander through a devastated Washington D.C. fighting Mutants, Ghouls, Raiders, and otherwise struggling to survive the post-apocalyptic wasteland. It’s due out this fall on the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3, and PC.
