Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet May Shine in One Area

by

In the realm of contentious reveals, Naughty Dog’s unveiling of their new intellectual property, “Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet“, has garnered a response that can be aptly summed up as divided opinion. The initial trailer for “Intergalactic” was inundated with negative feedback and experienced an unflattering like-to-dislike ratio, leading Naughty Dog to disable comments on YouTube. However, there’s a group of fans who are optimistic that the game will continue the high-quality polish and storytelling that Naughty Dog is renowned for. Despite which faction players find themselves in, it’s clear that “Intergalactic“‘s soundtrack will undoubtedly be a triumphant aspect of the game.

Apart from giving a quick glimpse into the universe and characters of “Intergalactic”, the trailer also surprised fans by announcing that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross would be composing the original score for this game. The snippets of the unique, non-licensed music heard in the trailer suggest that the soundtrack will have a captivating synth-heavy feel, showcasing many distinctive traits that these musicians are recognized for in their critically acclaimed and award-winning portfolio. In terms of its soundtrack, “Intergalactic” is already setting new standards.

Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor’s Contributions to Intergalactic Bode Well

Trent Reznor is most famously associated with being the sole creator behind Nine Inch Nails, even though collaborations with artists like Atticus Ross have dominated his recent work. The impact of Nine Inch Nails on industrial music and alternative rock is significant, and it all stems from Reznor’s leadership. During his free time away from Nine Inch Nails, Reznor has shifted his artistic focus to composing soundtracks for movies and games, such as the legendary score for Quake, which also earned him widespread praise and success.

Ross and Reznor have recently added another award, their ninth major one, to their collection for their outstanding work on the soundtrack of the movie “Challengers.” Known for tailoring their scores uniquely to each project while still incorporating similar elements like minimalist, electronic compositions that are both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant, they seem ideally suited to score the game “Intergalactic.” Given its retrofuturistic sci-fi backdrop, it’s challenging to imagine a more fitting pair for this task, and their work on “Intergalactic” could potentially bring them and Naughty Dog, the developer of “Intergalactic,” additional acclaim.

What to Expect From Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet’s OST

It is likely that the game Intergalactic will incorporate both unique compositions created by Ross and Reznor, as well as some licensed music, as indicated in its debut trailer. The music heard in the trailer ranged from electronic soundscapes similar to the duo’s previous work to “It’s a Sin” by Pet Shop Boys. Since the game’s protagonist seems to have an affinity for 1980s pop culture and Sony possesses a wealth of licensed songs from that era, it can be expected that Intergalactic might include both original tunes and popular hits from the ’80s.

As a gaming enthusiast eagerly awaiting the release of Intergalactic, I must admit that the trailer was all we’ve got so far. Yet, this hasn’t deterred a good chunk of us from expressing our hopes and expectations for the game. Given Naughty Dog’s track record, it’s reasonable to anticipate that Intergalactic will be top-notch in both its gameplay mechanics and narrative depth. At the very least, we can count on the game’s soundtrack being fantastic, thanks to the talented composers behind it.
