Kojima composer joins Halo Waypoint News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

9 December, 2009

Halo Waypoint developer 343 Industries has hired audio director Sotaro Tojima from Kojima Productions.

His appointment to the internal Microsoft studio was revealed on 343's Twitter.

Tojima composed for Kojima Productions' biggest titles, such as the Metal Gear Solid series, and joins 343 Industries under creative director (and former Bungie employee) Frank O'Connor.

343 Industries looks after Halo Waypoint, the Xbox Live destination that correlates everything related to Halo, including original media like novels and animations as well as community features like tracking statistics and handing out awards.

This Saturday, Halo Waypoint will welcome the second part of (the third) Halo Legends anime The Package. Created by Casio Entertainment and overseen by Shinji Aramaki, the story follows Master Chief as he and four Spartans infiltrate a huge Covenant fleet in search of an intelligence asset. Next Saturday, 19th December, there will be a Making of documentary video released.

Then, on 2nd January, we'll be treated to the fourth Halo Legends anime, Origins. This will be followed a week later by a Making Of.

Halo Legends will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on 16th February 2010.

Composer is a bit misleading.

Technically Sotaru Tojima is a producer, in charge of the overall sound mix.
MGS4 music was composed primarily by Norihiko Hibino, based on themes by Harry Gregson-Williams and other pieces by Nobuko Toda, Shuichi Kobori, Kazuma Jinnouchi (GEM Impact).

So there!

I think they are only screening 5 of the 8 Legend episodes - the others will be on the DVD. I guess it's to persuade people to buy it.

On the whole I've enjoyed them so far - The babysitter was a bit average IMO, but The Duel I thought was superb. Really great art direction and a complelling story. The package was also good, and reminded me of Star Wars with the space encounters. The only thing that spoilt it was some of the awful voice acting.

Tojima composed for Kojima Productions' biggest titles! Halo Waypoint is an Xbox Live channel or 'destination' that aggregates everything, related to the halo reach content will be split into Intel and Career sections.
