A brief foreword:
This is more of a "what if" fantasy than a serious plea to make it happen. I found the thought entertaining and was curious what some of you might think.
What if the KF2 soundtrack (both music and ambience) was scored by zYnthetic AND Akira Yamaoka (either together or individually)?
For those unfamiliar, Akira Yamaoka was best known for his contributions to the Silent Hill series. He was also involved in many more projects outside of that franchise (and style) such as Contra (both Hard Corps & Shattered Soldier) and No More Heroes 2.
More importantly, though he lives in Japan he has experience working with western studios (for instance Portsmouth based "Climax Studios" or California based "Double Helix Games") so the idea of Yamaoka-san teaming up with TWI is NOT a logistical impossibility.
Part of me fantasized pinging Yamaoka impersonating John Gibson (don't worry, I wont) exclaiming "Hey! We're working on this awesome game! Would love to have you lay out a few tracks for us!"
...though I'd have a heart attack if Yamaoka replied "Hell yeah! Let's do this!"
What're your thoughts? Should zYnthetic remain solo (or with Dirge)? Would the universe explode if they ALL teamed up? Has Yamaoka lost his luster since the wonder years? Would this alliance present the pinnacle of "muh gerdy" (more grittiness) the world has ever seen and make all of us soil ourselves playing KF2?
Sound off regardless if you think I'm a mad scientist or a blasphemer.
P.S. There's PLENTY of Yamaoka's work readily available on YouTube for those who aren't familiar with his discography.
