I think the title says it all. It turns out that film and television composer Bear McCreary will be scoring Capcom’s Dark Void, which I’ve been watching pretty closely. Now, most of you are probably saying to yourselves, “Yeah, so what?” Well, I was surprised to hear about this bit of news because I actually met Bear a couple years ago and asked him why he wasn’t scoring games, and now here he is.
It was at the Composer Expo in Los Angeles in 2007, and Bear was sitting on a panel with Mark Mothersbaugh and other composers, and a question came to the panel asking how they spent their free time. Bear mentioned that he was really into videogames, so naturally I stood up and asked if he’d consider scoring games in the future. His reply? “If they can pay me enough, I’ll work on anything.” Not really the answer I wanted, and not the most open-minded attitude, but interesting now that he’s now working on Dark Void. He’s apparently been “waiting for the right one,” so I guess Capcom had just what he wa$ looking for.
