14 DAY TRIAL // Crysis, the game that looks so good, but could kill your PC if you're not careful, is slowly turning into a real money maker. Or, at least, that's what everybody behind this title hopes. As a proof, the Crysis original soundtrack has been announced by Sumthing Else Music Works and it will be released on the 29th of January 2008. Something else?
Really, not much. But I am eagerly anticipating the release of Crysis paintings, framed screenshots or a super cool Crysis 2008 calendar. I mean, that's the greatest thing about this game: it looks better than a super sexy girl on a beach, at sunset, drinking a Marguerita and getting ready to swim naked. But the soundtrack? Oh, well... at least it's something extra.
So, if you're into orchestral music and you'd like to hear over an hour of original sounds performed by the Northwest Sinfonia Orchestra, then this is good news for you. Especially if you enjoyed the music in Crysis - that one that heightens the impact of the dramatic storyline, realistic environments and gameplay. It's not as good as the graphics, but at least anybody could listen to it!
Everything you've heard in the game that will also be available on the disc to-be-released is written and conducted by award-winning film, television and video game composer Inon Zur - the guy that worked, among many other, for titles like Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within and Men of Valor. The soundtrack will be released worldwide by Sumthing Else Music Worksand and made available for digital download at sumthingdigital.com.
Now, here's what I have in mind: grab the soundrack and start listening to it while playing Crysis. Turn off all the music within the game, since you already have it. This should give you 3-4 additional frames per second. What? That's impossible and a rather stupid idea? Oh, well... at least I tried.
