Interceptor Entertainment Pays Tribute To Original Rise Of The Triad Soundtrack
What is The Legend of Zelda without the epic overworld theme? What is Final Fantasy without the familiar twinkling of the crystal music? What is Rise of the Triad without Lee Jackson's driving and eclectic compositions to splatter your foes by?
In the latest Rise of the Triad developer diary, the team at Apogee Software and Interceptor entertainment discuss how they've brought the classic tracks of the 1994 release into the twenty-first century. Composer Andrew Hulshult has masterfully updated the tunes, and with Jackson available for consultation, fans should have confidence that the game will "feel" right at its trademark breakneck pace.
You can check out the full developer diary below, and read up on Hulshult's process on Interceptor's official site. If that's not enough for you, the team published a podcast all about the music. Itching to hear some of the tracks? Check out the Rise of the Triad tunes on Soundcloud.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
