Thank you Microsoft (No not that blizzard CEO who fired all the old team) for bringing back the old diablo OST boss.
I hear his composing in this new expansion, it’s light-medium but we can hear it.
For anyone saying we live in the past blablabla… The diablo serie(d1,d2, d3,d4) would likely failed without Uelmen.
Bring him full speed in the next… And if you can, all the old team, u will make billion out of it.
They was like ten guys in 1996… and made more $ than what some game made today with 100x more money.
This expantion is rated 8/10, dont ask why, bring matt.
Update:
I was wrong about Travincal. I thought I heard more, but apparently it’s only Kurast Bazaar. In base game though, there was some D2 music at Sankekur’s tomb. And the vision of Tristram of course had its tune.
Yes atmosphere is number 1 priority to me too. That is why i know that even MAtt Uelmen cannot help D4 cause there are so substantial things wrong with it.
That is why i said John williams couldn’t save star wars. A great soundtrack makes a good game a masterpiece but it will not make a bad game a masterpiece.
He is specifically credited for working on “Kurast” with Ted Reedy. Most likely he didnt actually do any work, but his OG track from D2 was arranged for D4.
Giving credit to the original composer when a track is rearranged is common in the industry. That does not mean he is back on the team.
Another example: Uematsu is credited in almost every Final Fantasy game even if he actually had nothing to do with anything. But since his pieces are used and arranged, he still gets credit.
