‘Deathverse: Let It Die’ Taps ‘Silent Hill’s Akira Yamaoka For Music [Video]
GungHo Online Entertainment are at it again with their second dev diary for Deathverse: Let It Die. This time, Uncle Death kidnaps Akira Yamaoka (of Silent Hill fame), who reveals that he’s back doing sound producing duties for the upcoming Deathverse.
In this video, Yamaoka, who also composed the music for the first Let It Die game, discusses his inspirations behind the notably funky soundtrack for Deathverse. We got a taste of what Yamaoka has in store from the game’s first trailer, to which Yamaoka says that he was given free reign when it came to coming up with the sound.
“I didn’t intend on using funk, at first. The [game show within Deathverse] didn’t give off a ‘funk’ vibe, to me, at first, “explains Yamaoka. However, the idea of players duking it out in a funk-like environment was “interesting”, along with the quirkiness.
Set hundreds of years after the events of Let It Die, Deathverse: Let It Die introduces players to the world of the smash-hit reality show ‘Death Jamboree’. Produced by the enigmatic Yotsuyama Broadcasting Company, the show sees players fight for stardom in a virtual world known as the Deathverse, which was created by the Yotsuyama Group as a final destination for people’s souls.
Deathverse: Let It Die is currently in development for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 as a free-to-play title, with a Spring 2022 release date.
Xbox owners feeling left out over SFB Games’ throwback Survival Horror title Crow Country coming to Steam and PlayStation? Never fear, as the developer has secured an Xbox Series release via the Microsoft Store, which will launch on May 9th as the other platforms. And to celebrate, Xbox owners also get a new trailer announcing Crow Country coming to the platform alongside the PlayStation 5 and PC.
In this brand new horror inspired by classics from the original PlayStation, Crow Country takes place in the year 1990. It’s been two years since the mysterious disappearance of Edward Crow and the abrupt closure of his theme park, the eponymous Crow Country. You are Mara Forest, and you’re searching for some answers from Crow. You’ll need to venture deep into the abandoned Crow Country theme park and uncover the secrets behind its Crow’s sudden disappearance.
Crow Country will see you immerse yourself in a richly atmospheric, deeply sinister world evocative of late 90s pre-rendered graphics. You’ll need to make every bullet count as you manage limited resources and try to survive against the creatures that stalk the eerily tranquil grounds of the amusement park.
Monsters aren’t your only problem, however. Crow Country hides many secrets behind its locked gates, requiring you to overcome the gauntlet of puzzles and challenges that stand between you and the truth. And for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere without having to battle against the inhabitants of the park, there’s the “Exploration Mode”, which switches off the combat to focus entirely on solving the mystery and exploration.
Crow Country will be available for $19.99 USD. You can also check out the demo on Steam.
