True Crimes:Streets of LA soundtrack info

Santa Monica, CA - May 13, 2003 - To capture the urban vibe of Los Angeles for its upcoming True Crime: Streets of L.A. video game, Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), has partnered with L.A.-based Vybe Squad, LLC to produce a groundbreaking soundtrack that features more original songs from the biggest names in West Coast hip-hop than any game soundtrack ever released. West Side Connection - Ice Cube, Mac 10, WC - E40, EZ E Jr., KAM and 187 (Above the Law), are among the artists currently set to write and perform tracks for the True Crime: Streets of L.A. album, with other headlining talent to be announced.

In addition, the soundtrack will feature licensed tracks, including select classics. The tracks will provide the backdrop to action-packed car chases, shootouts, on-foot pursuits and hand-to-hand combat featured in the highly anticipated mission-based driving and action video game.

Vybe Squad, whose founders were among the team members that produced such multi-platinum soundtracks as "Set It Off" and "Above the Rim," with Bungalo Records, home of projects including DJ Quik's "Under the Influence," as well as albums from Bizzy Bone, Mac 10 and Sugar Free, are pulling together some of the biggest names in hip-hop to record original music for the True Crime: Streets Of L.A. soundtrack. In addition to the artists mentioned above, Vybe Squad's roster of talent includes Coolio, Snoop Dogg's East Siders and Eazy E Jr., among others. The two-CD True Crime: Streets of L.A. soundtrack will be released this summer by Vybe Squad/ Bungalo Records/ Universal (UMVD).

"Vybe Squad is the perfect partner for the True Crime: Streets of L.A. soundtrack," said Chris Archer, executive producer, Activision Worldwide Studios. "It is amazing to see some of hip-hop's top West Coast artists come together to create original tracks for our game. Hip-hop music is the voice of the urban lifestyle and capturing the gritty, raw sounds of the streets is an essential part of the True Crime: Streets of L.A. gaming experience."

Trauma-san:
^^ They still don't have a bigger name than microsoft.


Nintendo will always win, in the end, they'll still be standing long after sony and microsoft have moved on.  They have an infallible strategy.  They believe that games that are fun will always win out over games that are simulators, or filled with violence, or sex.  I agree with them.. when they released zelda: the wind waker, they stated that they went with the cel shaded graphics as kind of a statement, that they could have tried to make everything look realistic, but that in the end, it comes down to you're not trying to reproduce actual life, you're trying to create a fantasy world that exists within itself, so to a point the graphics don't even matter.  The greatest game of all time is probably Ms. Pac Man, and the graphics were horrible on that... it's still fun as hell, though.  

GTA is great, it's fun, but after you've done 3, 5, 10 of them, you're out of ideas.  Zelda will never get old, Mario will never get old, etc.  

Nintendo's always had a problem with violence, the mk2 cartridge for super nintendo had blood you could turn off.
