Battlestar Galactica composer to score SOCOM 4

Battlestar Galactica composer Bear McCreary will compose the original score for SOCOM 4.

McCreary announced the news on his blog.

He's no slouch when it comes to soundtracks in games, however: he composed the scores for Dark Void as well as its spin-off, Dark Void Zero.

For SOCOM 4, though, he say's he's written ""musically, a franchise re-boot" that features over eight hours worth of original stuff.

"Ever since I was a kid, I’ve dreamt of a video game score that would feel as if it were being composed specifically for each player, adapting and shifting perfectly to capture the mood of the individual gamer," said McCreary. " Thanks to the powerful technology available today, and the talented artists and programmers at Sony and Zipper, I was able to write a score that fulfills this promise."

Good stuff.

SOCOM 4's out this fall for PS3.

Thanks, Joystiq.
