"I was expecting the developer to want big, cool "look-at-this-epic-island-it's-going-to-be-such-a-good-adventure" music."
"Maybe if it were Uncharted!"
"Exactly. I wanted to do the opposite because it was all about internalising the experience."
I don't appreciate that stab, because Uncharted's soundtracks aren't that bombastic all the time. Sounds like Graves doesn't really know the Uncharted-soundtrack if he simply agrees. Not cool from a musician/composer.
Then again, I wouldn't think so, because plenty of the 'Tomb Raider'-reboot has been copied "back" tight from the Uncharted-games (because clearly it was doing things better, while the Tomb Raider franchise was in a rut during the time the first THREE Uncharted-games were already out and basically being "Tomb Raider in that current generation done right").
Not that I don't like the 'Tomb Raider' game and the soundtrack, I've actually really enjoyed it and also looked up this interview because I wanted to know more. - But don't write off the Uncharted-soundtracks for just being wall-to-wall and in-your-face adventure-music, because it has plenty of calmer and more sensitive moments. And again, the soundtrack of 'Tomb Raider' actually has things that are very reminiscent of the Uncharted-soundtrack and Greg Edmonson's style. - In fact, they would probably make a great team of composers.
