Journey Composer’s Next Project Is Leisure Suit Larry Remake

Austin Wintory has made a name for himself composing for both thatgamecompany’s Journey and Flow. He has two VGAs and a recent Grammy nomination to show for it. Now he’s taking things in a different direction. He recently revealed he’s working on the musical score for Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of Lounge Lizards Reloaded. This remake was backed on Kickstarter in April to Larry Laffer fans' delight.

Al Lowe, the creator of the unlucky-in-love Laffer, reached out to the composer, which even surprised Wintory. As he told Polygon, “It's actually shocking that they would think to call me because they couldn't be more opposite of each other." But Wintory soon found out, Replay Games, the masterminds behind the remake, were big fans of Journey. Although this is a big change from Journey, Wintory grew up playing the games and remembers them fondly, so he’s excited to create the beats that drive Larry’s comical descent into the world of women.

  • Well that makes perfect sense, because as you can see... WHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??!!
  • Well... That's quite the departure.

    Makes total sense, obviously.

  • Wow, what a waste.

  • Looks like he's stepping up in the world!

  • Alright then.

  • hells yeah. this game needs a great sound track.

    EDIT: composers do all kinds of music for all kinds of things. why stick to one thing? look up Mark Mothersbaughs of the band devo soundtrack listing on his wiki page. (although for some reason about a fourth of the titles have been removed.)
  • Since I lost respect for VGAs (I really don't like how they ignored the 3DS and Vita), the fact that Austin Wintory won some means nothing to me. But I wish him the best of luck regardless.
  • Larry has always been a franchise about emotional character development. I'm fine with that... Eeeehm wait a minute?

  • Plot twist

  • whaaaaaaaaat.

  • That's EXACTLY what we need right now...

  • YES!! I love Austin Wintory's music. He can make any game sound amazing.

  • "descent into the world of women." now theres a quote

  • Come on, already! I'd rather see Roger Wilco going Dalek plunger on Sludge Vohaul than Mr. Lounge Lizard humping another sleazy lady.

  • Huh.

  • Nice! It'll be great to see his range here. The great composers can do anything so I am not too worried about this. I just hope there is enough jazz in the lounge.

  • Lol, that's kinda pathetic.

  • That's... Odd.

  • Wow that's a shame such talent wasted on a game for perverts
  • I can't wait for this game to win a Grammy.
