3 last news about Jesper Kyd
26.03.2010 Assassin's Creed 2 Soundtrack Review
"Assassin's Creed" franchise has only two full-fledged games so far (versions for portable platforms do not count), but for a progressive video games composer Jesper Kyd it has already become not less important than a series about Hitman, which has made this Danish electronic musician an icon of modern game music. Like Hitman, Assassins Creed is a game about a killer though very ancient one. A medieval setting for Kyd is not a barrier but vice versa its an incentive. Its not just a stimulus to step into a territory of unusual for him creative directions, simply to do something new but to reinvent a particular music style, to deconstruct music, take all familiar elements to pieces so as to reconstruct them later to his own taste, gracefully ignoring standards and authenticity. For the composer who has long gone beyond the framework of electronic sound and pure genres, in whose career there was both cold IDM, organically woven into the disturbing orchestration, and choir of the Hungarian Radio, performing pseudo-Soviet patriotic songs in broken Russian to the accompaniment of techno rhythms and vintage synthesizers, there are no obstacles and nothing is impossible. Each new Kyds work is not similar to the preceding, it has no analogues in the game industry and sometimes no analogues at all.

Heat, a crime thriller/action film released in the mid 1990s, continues to heat the imagination of moviemakers and game developers. Cinema schools and universities use Heat as a best example of the action movie. This film is constantly quoted and everybody tries to emulate or beat it. From times to times some studio appears that attempts if not to do an unofficial film-to-game adaptation then at least to do a remake of that famous shootout with police. Ten years after the film premiere the Danes from IO Interactive who never practiced an obvious imitation before, found themselves in a difficult financial circumstances and thats why they had to produce something very cheap but effective and efficient.

For the last ten years a release of a new franchise has been quite a responsible and high-profile mission reminding of a space probe launch somewhere to Saturn much investment, long flight and no guaranty of finding anything useful on the planet. New universes are reluctant to take roots, are often whimsical and naughty, and it takes a long way for them to rise from the dunghill. One can just look at the bunch of sequels and prequels released this year so as to realize this simple truth. So a postapocalyptic shooter with cel-shaded graphics (hey, comics!) and RPG elements like in Diablo couldnt be more unexpected. One can only envy courage of 2K Games sponsoring the project. Welcome the winner of the Innovation Award!
